Can you be tempted to play?

Very tempting, yes, but unfortunately I'm all booked out already. Burned my fingers once when I got too greedy with playing too many games, now I make sure to finish them first before I sign up for a new one. But I could sub for some time if the need arises.

I suppose that to fix the broken things introduced in 3.10, like TC's Ginseng spell and LA Pythium, the 3.11 patch will be released before this game starts?

[llamabeast]

Aaargh, I am suffering from indecision. I think I won't play Caelum, but one of Agartha or Pythium. Now to choose which...

I think there's a mod that fixes all the issues with 3.10 lch, so we'll just use that.

Edit: I'll play Pythium.

Remaining nations: Agartha, Atlantis, Caelum, Pangaea

There will be other things added in the 3.11 apart from ginseng and hydrafixes. These are not ready yet.

I'm in favor of more content in patches, so a 3.11 with just a few fixes doesn't sit well with me. The hydrafix mod should probably be used in the Sloth game. Is there a ginseng fix mod?

[llamabeast]

I believe Edi's version of Endo's fix mod fixes pretty much everything.

[llamabeast]

Mapwise, I am quite inclined to use a handdrawn map, since they are lovelier.

Options include:

Glory of the Gods (MP) (274 provinces)
Cradle of Dominion (221)
Orania (279)
Zylithan's The Eight Gates (230) (quite interesting with portals scattered over the map but maybe a bit crazy)

Thoughts? Other suggestions?

[DrPraetorious]

I agree about handdrawn maps.

I don't think we should do slow research - it leaves research-dependent nations too vulnerable.

[SqueekyDragon]

I'll take any LA nation still left (preference towards Atlantis if it's still open).

What would be the benefit of slow research?

I'd just like to say that I'm very proud right now.

Remember to stomp Abysia, who pretends to be Krisfotter. Or was it the other way round? Stomp, any way.

Whats wrong with the ginseng? I drink ginseng tea here after dinner, most agreeable.


I have decided that the ceremonial master really IS just for ceremony. The celestial master on the other hand. Fear him! Fear him well! Once I learn how to cast communions without killing all my slaves that is...
