Hey Grudge, someone spoke for arco already. I am happy to have you join us, but check the first post for an available nation!

i'd actually say that the game closed with coobe picking arco, as that put it at 15; but you're the host so i'll leave you to make that call.

[chrispedersen]

You're absolutely right Omni - and if anyone objects I will close the game at 15. However, I hate to leave players who wanted to play out of the game. So if no one objects, I'll let a grudge and a few last minute people on.

Umm... just fyi - your victory condition is so high as to make it moot.

9/15 is too high?

Looking for another water nation? I can play R'yleh...

Think so, yeah. Its a tricky thing to balance because VPs (especially cap-vps!) are SO hard to capture. If you put the number of VPs too high, you make them moot because in order to get that many the player in question is so powerful that everyone would likely just concede before then anyway. The key is to find the sweet spot where you have just high enough VPs too keep anyone from winning by surprise, but to still keep it low enough that a bold player can pull off a win with a determined attempt (which prevents the game from dragging on forever).

IME, I've found that 40% or so is a good cutoff for VPs. However, I'm not playing in this game so I dont have a say in how you set your game up. I just wanted to point it out.

I would also want to know what MoD mod does and where can I get it. Im not against it tough. And nice map by the way.
