Vicious Circle2 Upload pretenders

[GrudgeBringer]

lets take the weekend and figure out what we want to do...

I for one am ready to let Hinnom crack my head again as I had him Right where he wanted me.

I also hope everyone has patience and will play agian and I apologize for the error in game Victory conditions, as I took this over from Black Sun It falls square on my shoulders.

A wrap around map huh...we COULD use Oriana. Lets see if all the stalwarts will go again (I THINK we have to set up the game again and submit pretenders, but that should just take a small amount of time as we will all keep the same Nations).

Could we please have a head count of you that want to start another game right away....Please just use this forum and when you say yes or n, please state your Nation.

Thanks for your patience and if Frozen Lama would kindly help set it up and admin again I would appreciate it ALOT!!

Yes, Fomoria

I hope I get lucky with provinces and sites again

Had an income of both earth, astral (+shamans to use them) and nature gems and an "enter to summon mummy" site. And I was about to get Pangaea's home province (although I made the classic mistake of under-estimating my opponent this turn!)....

If any of you other guys could come with a small update of what went good and bad in this game for you, I think it would make a more "fun" ending!

I am for starting again (HInnom).
Now if we can upload pretender again that would be great. I would like to do some changes

Congratulations to the winner.

Count me in for another game, I'll play R'Lyeh again.
I hope this time I'll have a better start position, in a sea that is more than 4 povinces long
It was hard to expand initially because I had to go to land very early.

I'll use the same pretender.

Congratulations for the fastest mp winner ever

I would like to play again, but maybe need few days to sort out new pretender god. I see now how it is with rushes. Helheim and Abysia were pressing hard.. Maybe Ulm needs an awake SC pretender.

Thanks for a good fight!

Sure, I'm in for a restart.

Since this is a newbie game, I would love to do a bit of postmortem on the situation so far, though without revealing anything (eg pretender choices) that will be relevant in the next version.

I would suggest, once there are enough votes that GB & Lama feel this is a go, to start a new thread, leaving this one for postmortem.

FWIW, I strongly support a wraparound map. I think it really sucks to get squeezed against the edge of the world. Also in DH it looks to me like the density of starting locations was a lot higher in the north-east than in the south-west.

Thank you for putting up a good fight. I spent many enjoyable hours trying to figure out how to beat on you.

Honestly your map position, trapped against the edge, was the main problem. On a per-gold basis, your sacreds are better than mine, and your archers, in quantity, can be effective getting rid of my pesky glamor. OTOH, every time you spend 200G on a commander, that is useless in combat until battle magic gets researched; whereas my commanders are all sacred thugs out of the box. Which is why I realized I had to attack you very early if at all.

Anyway, GG. Next go-around, I hope we won't be adjacent, or if we are, that I find out who you are sooner so I can talk to you.

I'm game for another round. Maybe a map that has more provinces/player this time?
