Alexandria - battle for balanced glory [TC wins!]

[spacht]

Ok, if you still need players i would like to join this one as Marignon with Pythium as second choice.

[Zeldor]

You get Marignon then

[Randvek]

I just lost my last newbie game, so I'm looking to add another one, I suppose. How's Pythium sound?

Just been playing around with LA Atlantis in SP. Seems like a real challenge, but fun. Even though there is great potential to get hold in the water you can�t recruit mages or decent troops there, So I won�t be able to just settle for lurking in the deep. I will have to get hold on land as well.

And LA mictlan has good potential for water domination too, as good as me I�d say. We�ll see when we meet.

On the other hand Atlantis can be a useful ally due to it�s ability to strike behind enemy lines. It sure will be an interesting position.

Randvek:

It is different nation, but certainly not weak. Sacred hydras can do a lot of harm to anything

And I need Pashadawg [creator of the map] to choose starting locations.

Just in case Pashadawg doesn't get back with updated start locations, I've attached a modified version of the Alexandria_no_sites map. It's been run through David Fidge's excellent Starting Locations Modifier with min_neighbors=5, and min_sea=3.

In summary, all provinces with fewer than 5 neighbors have been marked "no-start".

[Zeldor]

I've been speaking with Pasha and he should do it Monday-Tuesday. I don't want to make starting locations by myself because I play here. And random, even among good starting positions, is not a really fair solution - I don't want to repeat mistakes from Urapara, where Abysia got extremely good starting position.

I'll take a slot if any are still open. Just let me know whatever nation would be a good fit for the map given the current picks (e.g. if you need an Ocean race, etc.) I'm mentally prepared to get thrashed a few times...

BTW Heidrich is not going to play.

sansanjuan:

Take what you want Free races:
Utgard [strong]
Midgard [strong]
Abysia [considered below average]
Caelum [well, less air, more death magic if I remember well]
Ulm [tin people teamed with vampires]
Man [not the one Man we know, they have nicer mages, can use communion and have crossbowmen too]

[sansanjuan]

Thanks. I'll Try Utgard.

Edit: Quick question. WIll CBM 1.21 mess up a Worthy Heros Game I just started?
