MP: Silicon Wolves, GAME ON! (again) See OP for additional details

[Tryfan]

Trying to keep endgame micro on the sane side (in the unlikely event I actually survive to it), since I don't want to change from the default dom3minions hosting time of 24h. Besides, 35 isn't that low. Think of it as a late era game with early era units.

This will be my 3rd game, but seeing as newbies are allowed I'd like to join up as Niefelheim.

And looking at the Somethingawful LP; I pity the people starting on one of the peninsulas

CthulhuDreams hasn't got manual confirmation to his registeration yet, but he would like to join in as Hinnom. He asked me to sign him up on IRC. Thanks.

I'm up for it. Total, absolute and complete MP noob here. I'll be playing Fomoria.

Having played quite a few games on Aran (in SP), the northern peninsula is actually not that bad - the SA players only got thoroughly screwed because there were probably too many nations on a map not meant for that, and the three players scrunched up there were serendipitously well suited to destroy each other right quick. In the current setting, where land nations can expect about 15 provinces each, it's alright.

The smaller peninsula however is a deathtrap, period. Doubly so if your strat hangs around high resource, cap only units/commanders, since you're guaranteed to have your capital border 2+ water provinces which will be, if not entirely inaccessible, at least claimed and contested by Atlantis in our game. Those resources you were banking on are going bye-bye. So's that early expansion.

Yes, I'm sort of sweating this right now, why do you ask ?
