newbtopia- ea game for new players(started)

[moderation]

Alright, let's get this show on the road then. Mictlan, I choose you!

With the team game that I am subbing in, it looks like the start positions were arranged so that teammates started near each other. Speaking of which, I'd like to make it a team game if people are interested. Team games are rather fun because you get some of the fun of teamwork, as well as the usual craziness that Dom 3 seems to entail. Also, it effectively reduces the number of factions in half, which should make for a quicker match overall. Also, it's nice to have one less front -- which is the case as long as your teammate is alive.

Perhaps we could pair folks up so people with slightly more experience are paired with those with less experience. So far I have played a MP demo game, but mostly fought the AI for 30 rounds, and have been subbing in another newbie game for about three rounds now. So maybe a little more experience than some, maybe less than others. I'm wondering what is everyone else's level of MP experience so far?

aight i'll take lanka. i vote for a free for all rather than a team game but im cool if everyone wants to go team. I prefer toe former because it seems to encourage more diplomacy, or that's what I think anyway, since I don't really know. I've played a bunch of single player games, but those aren't really good for MP, and i've played 4 turns each in both of the MP games I'm currently in.

I have played 4 turns in 1 MP game. I would rather go with a free for all as well. I think it encourages diplomacy. Just try to make friends with someone early on. Especially if you start close to each other.
Not sure what race I want. Have played a lot of MA and LA verse the comp but not much EA.

I was thinking I would play Arcoscephale, unless anyone else desperately wants them.

I think I'll take Helheim

Hey, Is the money set to max or not then?

[Motomouse]

I would like to play Niefelheim then and I vote free for all.

Money, sites, research will all be set to default.
