LA game for new players game is still down

[Renojustin]

Really don't think that LA Ermor is the raging powerhouse a lot of people think it is. With 10x domkill it kills itself off pretty brutally and efficiently now. No gold = no temples or forts, no defense. No temples and forts = less freespawn, and less powerful freespawn.

Just doesn't seem fair; not sure I want to play a game where I couldn't say I was the best player at the end if I won.

You make some points their its just that attacking Ermor is almost impossible without major magical support. I would be willing to allow people to play with Ermor if everybody is ok with it, but for obvious reasons nobody will be allowed to use R'lyeh

I would like to play as Ulm.

[Hellkor]

I'm fine with Ermor.

Since we are all new players, I would think using mods is a bad idea.

Why are the reasons for not playing with R'lyeah obvious? As a new player, they're certainly not obvious to me. The dominion thing? Is it that unbalanced?

If we are allowing Ermor, I wouldn't mind giving them a go instead of Tien Chi. I have played with them in EA and MA in single player games and like them thematically. Since I don't really know what I am doing, I suspect I won't be too difficult to defeat :-)

Any idea when we will be starting this game?

A good mod is that Worthy Heroes mod, it makes the random heroes you can get much, much better. As it is some nations get almost completely useless ones. And almost every MP game uses it so it wouldn't really be much adjustment for new players.
