Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
I think I will go with "Glory of the Gods (Multiplayer)". Sorry, should have decided on that ages ago.
The two missing players haven't even received the PMs I sent, so I think I'll just go ahead and start the game now...
thepodger and Molotov98 - apologies. Send me a PM and I'll make sure to save you a space in the next game.

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Okay, the game is started! Hopefully you'll all have got your first turns. See my FAQ if you're not quite sure what to do.
The first turn has a 48 hour timer in case of problems, and then we'll be on a 24 hour timer.
Enjoy the game!

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
I just noticed that I have currently one province. Was that a mistake or... ?
"There'll be roughly 15 provinces per player -" from your first post.
(Not that I mind, since one province per player might make it more interesting. )

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Oh! Sorry, it hadn't occurred to me that it could be read like that. I meant that the total number of provinces in the game would be about 15 * the number of players (it's slightly higher in the end). So that if everyone expanded equally you would end up with 15 provinces.

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Heh, I figured it was something like that.
Now ... off to map/plan out borders/glorify in my eventual conquest of the 'known world'.  |

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Ah, it's a pity I'm not a newbie.
Realize, all of you, the high standards to which the name of this game requires you to adhere:
Quote:
When I come up from round the Horn
I find a gal what makes me beam
She'd hold me in her supple flippers
Darlin' lady of my dreams!
Oh Manatee, sweet manatee
Your moustache bristles tickle me
In places no one ever sees
My soft and lovin' manatee!
I found her bobbin' in the surf
Her briny smile enchanted me
We hauled her up and gave her lovin'
A buoyant lass you would agree!
Oh Manatee, sweet manatee
My buxom bovine from the sea
Won't you come and marry me
My warm and flaccid manatee!

Re: Manatee - EA game for new players (open)
Alright, I'll admit it. I don't like manatees. They're the retarded cows of the sea.
