so then the description should say something like...

"accelerated magic development, for earlier use of advanced tactics"

the tactics are coming online earlier... not being prolonged... that is an honorable and fine goal.. it's just not what the sentence he used said... or at least if thats what it meant i didn't understand myself

I'll see if I can be a bit more precise in my description. Generally when I think of tactics, I think short term, battlefield movements, positioning,etc, strategy or strategic, generally implies longer term, campaign planning, sort of stuff. And this will be longer term compared to our previous game.

If there's room I'll sign in.

Vet side, if they take me.

We get to pick nations already? Sauromatia?

And qm has a point about 20 provs per player being a LOT, but it's up to admin of course.

I kind of agree on the provs/player being high. For me a "high" provs per player is 15. 20 is on the extreme side. With that and double speed research and first dibs on nations, it seems the vets hold all the cards this time. Of course, that might be the point, I dunno. Oh and if I get to call a nation, I'd like Caelum, pending a team discussion of course.

It is high and worth discussing. However keep in mind that this game will effectively be a duel. So its not impossible that some indy provs will just get overlooked. Happened even in the last game with a smaller map and way less provs/player just because the fighting was so intense.

so rumor has it the noob team has a top secret forum for discussing top secret plans?

if this is true i'd like to get into it, asap...

i figure if QM or maybe ironhawk or whomever will authorize me joining the noob team that would serve? or he can invite me to play on his team instead, or he can suggest i don't play the game at all... i'd understand any of the options ... but whichever one it is i'd like to join the top secret wiki/forum for that particular team ... an open wiki might be best because it can allow for good organization of information AND theres also sections for discussions included? ...maybe i'm rambling, eh?

All the discussion from the last game was "archived", and there's a hidden forum on there that only people in a user group can see, currently there's nothing in it though. It will be used again to organize the game unless people decide to do things differently.

I haven't actually joined so I guess I don't really have a vote, but I'm ok with namad on the noob team.
