Manatee - EA newbie game (started)

[carlosib]

Are we starting the game today as planned?

[llamabeast]

I hope so. We're still missing Tir na n'Og and whatever Molotov98 was going to be - hopefully they'll turn up in the next few hours. If they don't I may well start it tonight anyway, depending on whether I have time. Hopefully I will.

which map will serve us this time?

[llamabeast]

I think I will go with "Glory of the Gods (Multiplayer)". Sorry, should have decided on that ages ago.

The two missing players haven't even received the PMs I sent, so I think I'll just go ahead and start the game now...

thepodger and Molotov98 - apologies. Send me a PM and I'll make sure to save you a space in the next game.

Okay, the game is started! Hopefully you'll all have got your first turns. See my FAQ if you're not quite sure what to do.

The first turn has a 48 hour timer in case of problems, and then we'll be on a 24 hour timer.

Enjoy the game!

I just noticed that I have currently one province. Was that a mistake or... ?

"There'll be roughly 15 provinces per player -" from your first post.

(Not that I mind, since one province per player might make it more interesting. )

[llamabeast]

Oh! Sorry, it hadn't occurred to me that it could be read like that. I meant that the total number of provinces in the game would be about 15 * the number of players (it's slightly higher in the end). So that if everyone expanded equally you would end up with 15 provinces.
