As an impartial observer, high indy strength gives distinct atvantages to SC players and as the poster below said, certain nations who will expand at the same speed regardless of indy strength.

Starting with indy 5 can be tough enough for some races, to level the playing board lower indy strength is better.

In my experience, 5 or 6 are good, intermediate settings. Not too easy and not too hard. But every setting will favor a certain gameplay strategy. After hearing so much, King Lear should just make the call and we can adjust our strategy to it.

Wan, since you decided you wanted Abysia, we're slotting that to you.

So, Everyone needs to go ahead and create a pretender, and send me the file as an attachment. Go ahead and put your country name, and your name, in the title to help me sort them quickly from my mailbox.

One Last thing: Passwording your pretender might not be a bad idea incase one day, amidst hectic classes, I accidently send a file to someone to whom it does not belong. In a game of stratagy such intelligence could be devestating.

Four are in, we're waiting on some more!
