Default Empires For Free - Replacement Player(s) Sought

As I'm getting ready to move, I'm not having enough time to put into some ongoing MP games on mosehansen right now - just got a stale turn in one, which happily didn't result in any bad things.

So, the ones I have a decent enough empire that someone might want them, I'm offering up.

In one, "Battle for Heaven", I'm Ulm - a fairly strong Ulm, with lots of gems saved up, and a couple decent "special" recruiting sites. Main drawback? Norfleet's Caelum is regarded as the one to beat; has more castles than anyone else, of course.

The other, "Clash of Arms", you can take Marignon, again pretty well developed, with the highest research in the game, 2nd high gem income; middle of the pack on other things, and involved in a war with only one weak neighbor, Abysia. (The Phoenix pretender has enough Air magic to deal effectively with Abysians.)

Both games have difficult or very difficult research.

Neither is in a winning position, but neither is in bad shape; either might be fun for someone who wants a taste of a good sized empire in a game that's fairly well along.

Post or send a message if you think you might want one of them.

What are the maps in those games? If either of them is on small map I'd be interested.

Should have mentioned that. They're both on a moderately large map : Orania.

.

Come on. No newbies want this?

Here is your chance. You can get into a multiplayer game which is already up and running (that tends to be hard part right now, getting a new game rolling). And you get a ready-made excuse if you totally blow it (well actually it wasnt my pretender, I took over for someone else).

And one Pretender is in Mint condition - a nice Phoenix with its full high end fire and air magic and blessings, if you take Marignon.

Ulm's has some wear and tear on its Cyclops, but still has Earth 5 after several deaths.

They're going AI tomorrow around this time if no one has any interest in them, and again - both are in solid condition; Ulm as always with poor research, while Marignon has the top research and a pristine Pretender.

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

I'll take your Marignon. For reasons that should be obvious, you'll have to find someone else to unload Ulm on, though.

Oh ... this is the worst thing that could happen in this game ... damn damn damn (I'm the weak Abysya Cainehill told about below ... I hoped in someone not so skilled as Caine, and I find with a new neighbour far more dangerous.)

Yeh - you don't want to compete against a Norfleet clone who has been castling like mad, eh?

If it's still available, I'll take your Ulm.

Too late - the turn was going to run about 4 hours ago, and I set it to AI. Sorry, but thanks.
