The real question is, where are you going to scrounge up 60+ players to play this type of game? BTW, I want to play! 59 to go.

I really doens't think any global will cause any problem. With very hard research you won't see utterdark or AN anytime soon. When it does arrive however we can work together to dispel or kill that nation. And if we don't do anything about it, then we deserve to lose.

DrPraetorious,

Not sure, but those seem quite high. I'm not sure I see the need for any bonuses, but if they are deemed necessary something more like Evilhomer would be IMO better.

Utterdark will cause huge amounts of desertions, prevent most recruitment, and all battles are fought under Darkness. That doesn't mean I think it should be banned from the game though.

I obviously disagree

I've only been hit with it once, and didn't remember didn't check if it hit gems because it got dispelled the next turn.

Its not a matter of how nasty a spell is, its whether or not there are realistic ways of countering it. Even if gem income were reduced to 90% it could still be dispelled.

You can counter AN as well, but as mentioned before it has the chance of enabling a 999 cast, repeatedly.

very simple, get the 60 and vote it.

The flag mod Zepath did is different from age to age. It even has a cheat sheet jpg preview file telling you what age the nation is

Ahhh, well with a cheat sheet it works great then.

Difficult of very difficult research
Ban Nexus
I kind of like the idea of 3 random picks, choose 1 on a first come/first served basis...or maybe even 5 random picks.
Wait for patch only if within 2-3 weeks (maybe a test run till then?)
No vote on starting age, especially with site % fixed

Questions:
With 9(?) water nations, how many water tiles on the map?

Random start locations or fixed?

At 16.xx provinces per nations this is going to get crowded pretty quickly. Any thoughts on increasing map size?

Any randomness going on? Random units, commanders, provinces, buildings, etc?
