No, I meant standard as the game offers it! What does everybody taking part else say?
I figured you meant standard MP settings - which as Norfleet wrote, tends to be Indy-6, Sites-50, normal research, normal richness, common events, and usually (but not always) Hall of Fame 15.

I'd lean towards those settings - Indy strength 3 is ... single ply tissue paper. It's a very easy setting that is, I think, meant to ease newcomers into the game, as they don't get their initial armies slaughtered right away.

So - as one of the players, I vote for the standard MP settings. I'll play either way - Indys-3 simply means less time chasing down routed satyrs in the early game.

Standard MP is better by me than default but either is OK

I wanted to mess with my pretender which would mean uploading on Monday. If this is too slow - one day making a difference for some reason - I will do it tommorrow (well later today GMT)

@undead dolphin hacker:
Yes, there is still one final slot available, so you're welcome. Please respect the nations already taken (not everybody has ulpoaded his pretender yet), which are tracked in the second post of this thread.

@Pickles: No need to hurry I'd say - after all this Game is sort of assumed to be pausing on weekends anyway

@Kel and others, HEADCOUNT DONE
Everybody enlisted has either uploaded his(?) pretender or posted recently in this thread, except for one player which I've sent a private message to now, giving a deadline for any kind of response until monday noon. Assuming that he will respond an that undead dolphin hacker joins, we're eight which is nice for Karan.

Still here - just didn't have a reason to post.

Just fiddling with my Pretender design - will be uploaded this evening.

Cool, so we might get it going already on monday, but probably not before 12.00h UTC to avoid stale turns for everyone...
