I dont think so. Atlantis is strong. But it would be good to be more than one water nation. If no one get other I can be water instead of Malverni.

The strongest area Atlantis has is "getting the crap beaten out of it by every other water nation", especially in EA. And it's not that good against land nations, either. Only thing it has going for it are the big sacred mages, since the actual sacred units are awful. Bad Admin (what, like 20?) combined with their insane resource requirements, and horrible MR...

As I said, if someone else chooses an underwater nation, I'm not going to be playing. There are better ways for me to waste my time than play a game where I know with 100% certainty that I'll lose.

At a mere 11 water provinces (and horrifyingly close starting positions), I don't think its any problem at all to make Atlantis the only underwater nation. Especially considering the horribly close starting positions i got in a test game for Oceania and Atlantis.

I'll avoid the question of Atlantis' strength like I'll avoid any further big (20+) player games. Until I win something (as ANY nation), or learn something, I'll keep my mouth shut. I figure with 8 players, I have decent odds of victory- not counting other player's skills.

Derailed for a moment there. Only one water nation, Atlantis, allowed in game, on account of their being only 11 water provinces.

With all this debate, I've forgotten who asked for Atlantis.
I'll come back to this thread today and update the player list to include Atlantis, Lanka- oh and almost missed it - Maverni which goes to MoM, if I'm not mistaken.

Okay, that's nice. Filled up fast. Nine people. I'm a bit overloaded with games, so I'll likely step out, leaving us at eight. If not, I'll ask llamabeast to increase the cap to 9.

Need to know whether everybody's ready with a pretender, or needs some amount of time before they are good to go?

If everybody submits a pretender, we'll start ASAP. I'll message Llamabeast now, and make sure he's got all the settings. Deadline for submission looking to be Saturday.

Anyways, everybody above, you're in. I'll update the first post a bit later with a complete player list for convenient PM.

Okay... Everybody got their choice, I'll step out of this game. I'll likely be opening up another HoV game at the end of the month if somebody missed a chance to get in. I needs remember to PM llamabeast, make sure everythings good to go. Deadline for pretenders Saturday, will start earlier if everyone gets their pretenders in.
