This sounds extremely interesting - it's giving MP a new edge. I'd also like to join.

Ok.. A few answers.

A., I'm hoping to work on the map file tonight...
B. No mulligans, even though I like em
C. If a pretender is over 400 - send me a pm with the design and I'll mod it.
D. yes, the settings for resources and order are tweaked.
E. There will be 3 special sites available: Upto uncommon in rarity. Players may discuss nominate which ones they want in the game. After they are chosen, players will bid for these sites. So, yes, you can have cool special sites. No, I think all the conjuration 50 sites are Rare. And just remember, even though it may be in the game doesn't mean that *you* will win the bidding = ).

Make sure if you are bidding that your nation has multiple provinces, or does not use all 4 sites for its national setup.

F. Dragar, the settings for mictlan were just an example. We are relying on people having a sense of the strengths of the nations, and having to bid higher on stronger nations.

If mictlan is going for too few points, hopefully others will bid it up!

Well, I see one problem with designing the pretenders via mod, if two people have the same chassis, but different paths -> incompability.

And sorry, but I have no idea what uncommon sites are, could you or anyone maybe give a list?

If I bid on a nation do I have the chance to change my mind and bid on another?
If (and only if) so I'll start without much thinking: Formoria, 5 pts.

Hey illuminated:

Absolutely: Everyone keeps bidding until everyone is satisfied.
You only pay for bids you win. So for example you can bid Formoria for 5. If you see your neighbor is going to be Mictlan which you hate - you can either bid a different starting location, or bid for mictlan.

As for the uncommon sites - grab edi's db (from the strategy thread) it lists all the units, all the sites.
