If we start after the new patch, I'll be Ashgod, the new MA nation (I have no idea what it'll be like!).

If not I'll take Ctis.

I think option number 2 is much better, there will be more wars this way for sure, have you decided on a map, or are we using a random map?
Personally I'd prefer a random map, but as long as you set up a reasonable number of provinces between capitols, and are we using any particular mod?

sum1lost: In what way do you feel VPs skew the game?

Maybe we should have a general vote regarding the victory condition or lack of it. I vote yes for VPs, if it wasn't clear already.

I also feel as though 40% VP's is a bit low... you can essentially have a couple big players who never even have to fight before one of them wins. Make it like 55% or something.

Zenzei and Miagi are in, but we should indeed play for VP, but in capitols, I'll go for exactly half of capitols the map. So you need either to be stronger than the rest without needing to take the last single prov if a bastard won't surrender. And if there end up 2 player having nearly half then a long battle will be avoided by just out maneuvering the opponent

ow and no more water nation though (as if anyone would want too) since i need to get a set number of provinces for the map.

I think that if you set capitols VP you can see them in the map... So perhaps it's not a very good idea...

Why not just one random VP for each player, and owning 55% means winning?

BTW I vote for Vps too

Capitals known on first turn means the possibility of a straight rush towards nearest neighbour. Not knowing them for sure can delay a rush by 2 or 3 turns, which makes a huge difference.
Having one VP/player with just more half + 1 needed to win would be fine for me.
