PM Kristoffer O about that game, it could be fun if we could get him here And I probably vote on LA, as it has the most vibrant and polarized nations, best for storytelling.

Sounds fun. I'm in.

I would prefer EA (not because of hinnom)

[Lokean]

On the matter of which era people prefer, one thing I'm considering is allowing the custom mod nations. They're usually reasonably balanced, and they have the advantage that if somebosy wants to play them it's almost certainly out of a love for that nation's style, which increases the chance that they'll be able to keep up the writing.

[hunt11]

How about the single age mod as well? It would allow everybody to use their nation of choice.

[Lokean]

But then I'd have three times as many anthropophagous giants to contend with!

Also, I'm not too sure that the Single Age mod would be compatible with the mod nations. If a nation modder could verify/deny that it's possible I'd appreciate it.

I would like to take part, though am not sure about the shedule. Also, I would personally prefer Early Age for such a game - more different races and more magic. On the other hand, I wouldn't make research Easy - it may get out of hand too fast!
Considering maps I also like Dawn of Dominions. Other possibilities I'd like to mention are Hyborean Age (maybe too small for # of nations - but you mentioned crouded map!), Pangaean Earth, Tyrande... And one other map you probably should consider is World of Geometry/Symmetry!

[Tifone]

Pangean is a very nice map but with no chokepoints I think it would be a very dispersive game...

Any era works for me really As we started talking about nations, I (surely too innocently and naively ) hope ppl will choose their nations more because they feel the mood of them (thus providing better entertainment for everybody with inspired reports and stories) than to just pwn the game - not that it would be bad, stories of bloody triumphs are always epic, but still...

Tifone:

Hmm... that puts me closer to Niefelheim as a choice

Rip their flesh
Burn their hearts
Stab them in the eyes
Rape their women as they cry
Kill their servants
Burn their homes
Till there's no blood left to spill
Hail and Kill
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill

Re mods: yep, you can use mod nations along with the single age mod. Just make sure to use mod nations from the middle age. If you want to use late age nations you'll just have to modify them to make them middle age (which is trivial to do, I can help if there are any difficulties).

I recommend using mod nations by the way, they are generally thematically excellent. The ones listed on the LlamaServer are all recommended by me. Someone play Tomb Kings!
