Actually, I'm going to drop out, everyone. I'm not good enough to play with Peacekeeper: the three multiplayers we've played together, it's been pretty clear he's way above me in terms of skill and strategy. I'll open another slot for a better player. I don't even really have a good enough grip on the game to play multiplayer yet, anyway.

Thanks for hosting, by the way, Ironhawk. I'll be following the game for sure, just to see what happens! Good luck to everyone!

use it for a learning experience, in a large MP game theres a pretty good chance you won't even start next to him

I feel the same way when I play QM, but i have gained alot of skill from it.

I'd also like to sign up, playing marignon, so far only one badly played mp game under my belt.

With 11 or 12 in the game already (depending on whether TheWatcher plays) I'd say we might want to move to a slightly bigger map - The Desert Eye, maybe. Or Inland. (Going just with the maps that came with the game).

Ya right now I have acess to a buttload of indy mages and am doing quite well. But I'll take Valhiem.

Edit: Why do they suffer mid to late game? If you take a fairly competent rainbow mage, and even access to one or two different indy mages, you can summon where you are missing..and once you do most paths have access to summoned mages. Once your pretender has summoned the first one, they can start summoning in additonal mages for that path. And as ulm you can pretty much forge everything in the game with the right pretender, so you can increase +2-+3 in every path for every mage both indy and summoned.

Ok when do we start? once everyone has picked a race?

I think you'll do well with Vanheim. Just be sure to decide whether or not you want to go vans... they are freeking expensive and you want a good bless (fire, nature, or water)

I think that this is a valid point. What do people with more experience on the game think?

i would lean towards the desert eye because iirc it comes with the demo so hopefully is more well known

Watcher, I would recommend you not drop out. There is always going to be division in skill level, even in a newbie game. To back out because of it is to deny yourself a great chance at experience. You think Peace is really that good? Ok, then join the game and do the diplomacy to form an alliance against him. It is a skill you will very much need in coming MP games - because even when you are an experienced player, thats does not always mean you are the strongest. You have to know how to function when in both favorable and unfavorable conditions.
