And a note on victory conditions:

I find that a game with no victory conditions is too tedious. People will drop out rather than complete the game, so some kind of victory condition is probably best.

I've played a couple of games with VP based victory conditions, and I kind of dislike it because once a nation gets started, it's hard for the rest of the players to team up to stop this kind of victory because allied armies can't team up together to defend a weak VP province and everyone is forced to castle VP provinces.

This is why I prefer a victory condition based on a percentage of provinces controlled because no one can possibly castle everything and still expand unless they're already well ahead of everyone else.

I think the % of provinces required should probably be more than 50%, to give other players more of a chance to turn the tables, and less than 2/3 like I said earlier.

Ok... you convinced me. Victory based on % of provinces controlled sounds better. I'm not too picky, but I think that either 2/3 or 60% would be better.

I revoke my selection of Tyrande as a map, Pasha said it was pretty and ... well ...I like pretty things OK!
I'll play it in single player for fun.
It's better to wait until everyones chosen anyway. Interestingly no ones chosen a water nation yet that could have an effect.
Choosing very difficult research might be an advantage for Jotun, so go for it boys.

I want to play too!!
I'd like Man, and my only preferencies are:
- a not too huge map (for Man only-capitol problems)
- and using the Zen's Pretender Mod v1.81
Thank you!

Oh - I'm not actually in, I was joking about the Mictlan bit, especially as I don't qualify as a newish player.

Is there room for a complete newbie as Arco?
