Newbie PBEM game starting

[Graeme Dice]

Ok, I have 10 people signed up now, which makes Aran way too crowded. I'd suggest that Inland be used instead, as nobody has picked a water nation. I've received

There's a conflict for Arco, which can hopefully be resolved peacefully. I'll play something other than Pythium if that will help resolve it.

I'll be the 10th player, playing C'tis. If Graeme sticks with his plan of playing in Aran, I think we'll all be breathing down each other's necks ...

Another thing that might be worth considering is altering the victory conditions from standard. I've played in about half a dozen MP games of Dom1, and not a single one of them played out to conclusion.

How about something like control of 60% of the map's provinces?

[Sammual]

It sounds like this will be one big game, I can't wait.

[Saber Cherry]

60% sounds good (for province control, I mean). Although, with lots of players, 51% would probably be OK. Winning Dominions by total domination is very difficult and tedious.

Another victory setting, victory by % total population under your dominion, might be interesting... but it doesn't exist yet... It would be problematic with Ermor and Ctis, though.

You know what would be cool? If we could get some Johans and Kristoffers in the game=) Send them a couple PMs! Designers are notoriously bad at their own games, because they play the way it's SUPPOSED to work, rather than how it actually works=) Thus, they could probly be considered newbies

With Descartes as your avatar, you should be able to take it philosophically . As for me, I'll be astounded no matter what happens...
