As I said, I'll switch to Man. No problem. Otherwise I take what I get with R'lyeh, even if it's only a pool of muddy water in the capitol of Ermor. I don't care about winning.

If map with much water is chosen and you switch to Man that means that someone among land nations with access to water (Mictlan, Atlantis, Ermor) will grab nearly all water and have a huge advantage.
So map with a lot of water is not very good at all. Alexander is better than Asia Twist, however, in the aspect that its water is very distributed.

Yeah, why not make it a family game

I'll play as Caelum if you need/want more.

LDiCesare, I'm afraid you've missed out on TC by 32 minutes. Do you have another choice? Illuminated One, Licker; welcome!

17 players...

How many more for full LA representation?

Gregstrom · #6 February 26th, 2009, 04:25 PM

Four: Man, Patala, Abysia and Arcoscephale.

Map-wise, it's likely to be Orania, Alexander or Asia Twist due to the size of the game. Alternatively, I could make up a random map.

hmmm . . . I haven't had much online experience, but I don't agree with having newb servers. I would rather show flattery of the highest form: imitation. Learn from failure, because nothing meaningful comes from victory. Is this okay with everybody?

If that answer is yes, then I would probably choose patala. Haven't played as them yet . . . will probably do some AI games.

It'll be a learning experience . . .

Aargh, too bad. Man instead then.
I had been checking the remaining nations before I hit the Submit button, and then checking what to do with LA TC as I only know EA TC well.
Well archers and crossbows then.

19 players... That is a lot indeed.
For Alexander it is, probably, already a bit much. Also, I'd like to point out that with this many players predefined locations are nearly a "must-be" because chance of overcrowding and even capitals in neighboring provinces becomes very high.
So, I'd say we need a big balanced map. I heard about World of Geometry and similar maps. Maybe try something like that?

I get the feeling that late age is a lot about cannon fodder and a definite inflation of the value of a life (think of life as a dollar. I realize the wording is easily misread). Is that in the ball park . . .?
