The worry is that those nations are too strong, rather than too weak, in a newbie game. They are relatively hard to counter.

I don't have strong feelings on it myself though, it is up to fabio.

Hello llamabeast! it's good to hear you posting here ^_^

Of course both you and ich are right, however is my hope that players taking r'lyeh and ermor are not extremely skilled with them to have such a clear advantage , and if they're there is also the diplomacy effect that will have them (hopefully) cornered with all the other nations banding to eliminate the biggest threat =)

So for this game atleast i'll leave those nations playable.

As for the timer i really hope this will be a quick game, of course if it will start taking too long to make turns the timer may be increased .. when ? not sure i hope we'll be able to play all games on a 24h schedule

It occurred to me most likely the game will be still running in cristmas time.. i guess we'll have a suspension of several days for it it can be setted llamabeast right ?

Lack of skilled players helps LA Ermor, rather than hurting them, as all they need to do in a newbie game is keep pushing their dominion and gathering their freespawn into huge blocks.
Countering undead can be quite hard, particularly if you are new.

I would say R'lyeh is more powerful, but its also more magic-oriented and not quite as easy to play with.
