Another player had Sauro as his first choice while you were on Kailasa, Black. So Sauro is taken. We can't go create a game with all kinds of nation dependencies for players I am afraid.
It makes dividing the nations amongst players needlessly burdensome.
I hope you have fun with Kailasa, welcome aboard!

Game name on Llama is: Oceans_of_Land. It is ready to accept a pretender for your nation.
I have updated the first post with a direct link to the game page on llama.

Earcaraxe. no I have sent a PM test and introductory message to all players, but you and Doo are unable to receive PM's.

Please make sure you enable PM messaging by going to your 'User CP' in the horizontal navbar at the top of this page (the black line with the white texts). You can enable PM messaging in your User CP somewhere.

Doo, please do the same.

*shameless plug ON* Oh and why hasn't anyone thanked me yet for creating this? I am still at '4 times in 3 posts'? *shameless plug OFF*

I for one wouldn't mind starting on friday. It would give everyone time to work on their strategies, pretenders, etc... get the changes in CBM for those who never played it. Not to mention it could be frustating for Yskonyn having his start not done the way he wanted it.

Plus it would mean we can do the first few turns during the week-end and not wait 24 hours each time to recruit 15 guys and a mage.

Worthy Heroes (1.8?) is included in CBM 1.6 so you don't have to download or enable it, just enable CBM 1.6

By the way, will diplomacy be binding or not?

Swan indeed, like DK said, all you need to do is delete WR 1.8(if you have that installed atm) download CBM from the link in the first post of this thread, install that, enable it in game and you're set.
I am not sure what you mean by a 'limit' on pretender names? As long as they're nothing offensive I'd say you can name him 'Snake on a Stick' if you wanted that.

Diplomacy will be diplomacy. I am in favour of roleplaying diplomacy a bit to add to the game. If you want to be known as 'Player X the Deceiver' after this game, be my guest.
But it's rather awkward if you have an alliance with someone to suddenly kill off all his troops, so in that respect, yes diplo is binding.
If you wanted to attack your ally later on, I think it would be normal to at least make it known to him/her prior to attack that you will not be allies anymore.
Roleplaying (lightly) or adding flavour to your texts in this case is a nice way to create a setting IMO. I'll update the first post to be a bit more clear on this.
Good question!

Here's what has been ammended in the first post regarding diplomacy:

A bit more on diplomacy; I am in favour of roleplaying when engaging in diplomacy, but I am aware there are lots of players who don't like RP, so this is not required. But it does create a nice setting and adds to the atmosphere.
Because we are playing with new people I think we need to have a few diplomacy rules. In my last game diplomacy turned out to be highly unreliable which was quite confusing for me, so let us abide by some simple rules:
1 - Allies are not to be backstabbed. If you want to attack your ally, you first have to break your alliance with that player before attacking. So this means there is a one turn buffer limit between declaring the end of the alliance and the first attack. This is to prevent the new players from being confused about what happened. And it gives the players' mind some rest about who to trust for now (see rule 3).
2 - Same goes for a Non Agression Pact or other nice examples of an agreement of no hostilities between two nations, whatever you may call them.
3 - This does NOT rule out deceit. You can still catch your victim quite unprepared, so deceitful acts are allowed, but remember to abide by rule 1 and 2 at all times. If there's some sort of disagreement between two players please contact me or Grudge.

If there are questions about this or if you disagree or have a better idea, please feel free to express them!

Just as a suggestion to all the newbs here, diplo is much easier to keep track of if you use the forum message system, as then you have backups of all your communications.
