New game - The Art of War, Fight!

[Alpine Joe]

Also could I suggest CBM?

I would like to try, but what is meant by no diplomacy? Obviously no board PMs and in game messages but no trading also? What about the ever-common "XXX kicked my ***, he's too powerful now, gang 'im!" board posts?

Is the point of the game no one knows who plays who?

I'd like to join in.

CBM nerfs Ashdod pretty hard from what I've seen. If you use it, you shouldn't need to ban Ashdod.

Hrrrm I may join this, Ive got a fair bit on my plate at the moment, You dont have a set number of players your looking for so maybe just include me for now but if some other games heat up I may have to drop this before it starts.

Yeah that's exactly the point of the game, you don't know who plays the nation you're attacking.
That also means there will be no trading of items since it would reveal your identity so I advice you to design your pretenders carefully.
There will also be no," Hey let's all kill Ulm, he's got the forge" posts.
When somebody gets killed, than his identity may be reviled, but not the attackers.

When designing pretenders use random names.

By no means can anyone suggest that he is in war with eg. Ermor, because it could potentially lead to ganging up on that player, use spies to follow up on that stuff.

Also very important, if you need a temp/perm sub, don't post yourself but PM either WingedDog, or me. Still haven't worked out the admin duty but I will soon.

We will also be using CBM 1.5 now.

So far it looks like we've got 10 players.

And one last thing, I would like to hear your opinions on having score graphs either on or off in this game.
