Another Newbie Slugfest - Restarted

[The Panther]

With my other games wrapping up now, I seem to have a bit more time on my hands. I am down to one HUGE game on a MASSIVE map which will last another year or so, a second game in which I am quickly losing in a 4 against 1 (I will soon be going AI after all my armies and mages die), and a third small game (Song of the Blade) which just started.

If the newest Slugfest game is going to take place on a smallish map (like Inland?) with a decent victory condition setting (meaning NOT TA), then I would like to join as T'ien Ch'i. I have really been wanting to check out the race which is supposedly the worst MP nation in the game.

I always did like a challenge...
