EPOTARA - Pythium Wins!! (Ironhawk Rules)

[archaeolept]

one week for final pretender submission sounds about right


;p

[Aezeal]

so with that mod luck 3 is a must?

[PashaDawg]

Hi LP: I originally hoped to start the game by Sunday, but we need to wait until we have enough players and if we're gonna use the CB mod, we need to wait for QM to update it. If it is going to take QM a long while, then I would recommend that we play Vanilla.

Aezeal: No. Luck 3 is not a must unless you really want the heroes, and they are in no way essential for winning the game. Also, many strategies involve opting for misfortune in order to use the design points elsewhere.

[Aezeal]

a vanilla game would be ok with me..

my experience w/ the old cb mods and 3.10 is that the spell mod and the nations mod give an error, but the simpler pretender and scale mods don't. oh, and if we were to have until next weekend until we started (since i have no experience w/ late game nations, and would need to experiment on a pretender a bit), I'd consider (against my better judgement and all that is holy) joining in the fun

I do not mind play Vanilla, but I prefer the CB mod. With CB, I feel that I have a better choice of Pretenders. Vanilla has too unbalanced pretenders and you always end up using the same ones. But as I said, I do not really mind.

[PashaDawg]

We could choose to play with just the Conceptual Balance Scales and Pretender mods.

Might also need to play with Endo's quick fix mod for Pythium and Tien Chi.

i would like to tentatively reserve a slot

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Well... I'm not interested in perfection, but as from my first venture with Atlantis I need to ensure I can seize even just my surrounding provinces. I'll join in, though I'll be have less reservations about going AI than usual.

In alphabetical order:
Atlantis, Agartha, Caelum, Jomon, Patala, Pangaea, T'ien Ch'i

In order of preference, I'll probably put Atlantis last. I don't like to play the same race in two simultaneous games. Still, it's one I'm familiar with, and with a different starting position, who knows... All the rest are more or less the same to me. Though I prefer having more national summons and a death focus.

I suppose I'll sort them for you anyways, with several other criteria, being undead, strat move, simplicity of concept, vague feeling. It doesn't make a big diff, but if you don't have a die to cast..

Patala, T'ien C'hi, Agartha, Jomon, Pangaea, Caelum, Atlantis

Actually, because of all these monkey debates, I really want Patala.

EDIT:
Patala > Agartha > T'ien C'hi > Pangaea > Jomon > Caelum > Atlantis

[Aezeal]

The rulers of Midgard wonder why the giants of Utgard insisted on invading the province we explicitly messaged them we would be moving to this turn. We have not recieved a message of their intentions and untill further notice this can only be interpreted as an act of war.

The giants lost the first battle of this war (obviously) since our skinshifters easily out fight the large brutes. They will suffer more losses to pay for this insolence.
