I'll settle for knowing whether it will be Mysterio or Mysteria for now. If the former, I may change the name of the game to Mysterio's Revenge to be a bit more acurate.

Starting locations are not public knowledge at this point, and probably will never be. However, if your interested in your team's starting locations (once everyone has picked and I've placed individual nations) for planning purposes, I can PM them to you or one of the vets.

We are awaiting offical nation selections on this thread for Illuminated One, Jachra, and of course myself. Then we shall begin. If QM, has released another version of CBM we'll use that, I don't see any 1.44 yet though.

After some consultation with my noob colleagues, I think it best to impose a 10 turn NAP, which should be agreeable to the vets as well.

Put the lash to these guys! Its time to get the game rolling.

I have no objection to a 10-turn nap, I dont think it will significantly effect the game.

I've created the game on Llamaserver for those of you who wish to upload your pretenders (created via CBM 1.41C, file can be found attached to the main post). I'll change the map when we have all locations in.

Mysterio's revenge it shall be.

whats a good size for making these battle 3vs6 or 4vs8 or something else. and around how many regions per nation
because I was thinking of reinstalling Age of Wonders for some map making. or if I'm feeling adventurous CC2 and make a couple maps

Most mp games tend to be around 15 provinces per nation, from what I gather. Usually people don't like playing with more provinces than that. So I would say probably between 12-15 provinces player.

The new pretender is Mysterio. He is, of course, the pretender sent back through time to establish the reign of Mysteria. I know it sounds confusing. Just read Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. Then it will all make sense.

Yes, though I like Atul's suggestion of him scrying into the future, this version is more dramatic (if not oddly familiar):

Mysterio, the only man who can withstand the gaze of a gorgon, happening upon the mortally wounded Mysteria who lay dying on the battlefield after the defeat of her veteran pretender god allies, vows to avenge her defeat and restore her to life. Using arcane magicks, Mysterio travels back into time to detroy the ancestors of the noob pretender gods and their armies to ensure that they will never be born and thereby prevent the death of his beloved consort Mysteria.
