The Middle Way X - Faerun EA [Abandoned]

[Evilhomer]

Sounds sweet im in, will decide nation in a moment.

Edit: nation will be R'lyeh.

Im really for using wh and cb.

IF you intend to do vp you should have graphs on, else the game will end and some players will have no clue what happened so to speak....anticlimatic end I assume.

I'll take Argatha please.

I vote in favor of Worthy Heroes, it adds fun with no down side.

I vote against CB. It's supposed to be a balance mod, but i think it's premature to start trying to rebalance a game that when very few players have completed even 5 games.I looked at it before Concepts of Creation started but not since, so maybe it's different now, but it seemed to me to be a more or less random collection of changes, and i just don't see the point. I'd rather explore the basic game before I mess around with mods.

I really love the Faerun map, but it is truly huge, and think that needs to be kept in mind when considering victory conditions and magic sites frequency. Given the size, the end game positions will be epic no matter what. I kinda suspect that after about turn 60 or so only single, unemployed and freindless players will really be able to contemplate absolute victory at even 40%, and many players may opt for "alive and strong" as their personal goal.

Counting VPs at turn X (100?)might be a good alternative. It leaves us with goals but might make for a little less cut-throat game. I'm fine with whatever is decided, just wanted to throw that out there.

Im in as lanka. I really think graphs should be on and for victory i vote for either provinces or just default and let players decide who wins.

I would like to play Atlantis.

I would prefer magical site setting of 60 or higher.

I consider myself a intermediate player.

I doubt you will be able to blitz, but I am game if you can manage it! I find 24hr quickhost for first 20 - 30 turns and then 48hr quickhost best, personally.

No opinion on mods but will they affect any other MP's I am in?

I prefer graphs off.

Prefer provinces victory but I am easy.

Thanks for offering to host/run the game Terrel.

That's about what I'm thinking.

I haven't tested this, but I know it was not a problem under Dom2, I have to believe it is not a problem under Dom3. One thing you really used to need to be careful about, however, was turning the mods on and off. This was especially true when creating your pretender; many people used to create the pretender under the wrong mod, and lost lots of points that way.

Thanks for offering to host/run the game Terrel.

My pleasure.

Care to elucidate? And, if I can ask, have you played w/ CB in an MP game?

Not that I'm bent on playing w/ CB - I'm just interested in hearing more about it.
