Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - started

[llamabeast]

Okay, I guess I should go ahead and take arbitrary decisions on the map and research.

So, I think we'll use Cradle of Dominion, because it's nice. I'm having difficulties on the normal/difficult research issue though. I think I will bow to Dr P's experience - I suppose it's true on a small map bless nations will be brutal, and difficult research would leave nations which depend on magic to defend themselves helpless. So we'll go with normal research. I hope Kristoffer doesn't mind too much.

About pretender deadline - I will not have a chance to start the game until Saturday morning (sorry), so I suggest a deadline of Friday night UK time for the pretenders.

[Kristoffer O]

OK

[Amhazair]

Magic sites the 35 that's standard in LA, or do we want it higher?
Independents 5? Or higher?

I don't have strong opinions either way, but that's just the settings that are most often changed in MP, so I thought I'd ask.

[Kristoffer O]

Not higher site frequency. Indy 5 seems ok.

[llamabeast]

Indeed - all settings will be default.

[Folket]

I want renaming. It is such a pain not to be able to find mages with a specific random.

[llamabeast]

Yep, sorry, I always put renaming on automatically now, since everyone seems to like it.
