Vicious Circle2 Upload pretenders

[JR77]

Yes, Fomoria

I hope I get lucky with provinces and sites again

Had an income of both earth, astral (+shamans to use them) and nature gems and an "enter to summon mummy" site. And I was about to get Pangaea's home province (although I made the classic mistake of under-estimating my opponent this turn!)....

If any of you other guys could come with a small update of what went good and bad in this game for you, I think it would make a more "fun" ending!

I am for starting again (HInnom).
Now if we can upload pretender again that would be great. I would like to do some changes

Congratulations to the winner.

Count me in for another game, I'll play R'Lyeh again.
I hope this time I'll have a better start position, in a sea that is more than 4 povinces long
It was hard to expand initially because I had to go to land very early.

I'll use the same pretender.

Congratulations for the fastest mp winner ever

I would like to play again, but maybe need few days to sort out new pretender god. I see now how it is with rushes. Helheim and Abysia were pressing hard.. Maybe Ulm needs an awake SC pretender.

Thanks for a good fight!

Sure, I'm in for a restart.

Since this is a newbie game, I would love to do a bit of postmortem on the situation so far, though without revealing anything (eg pretender choices) that will be relevant in the next version.

I would suggest, once there are enough votes that GB & Lama feel this is a go, to start a new thread, leaving this one for postmortem.

FWIW, I strongly support a wraparound map. I think it really sucks to get squeezed against the edge of the world. Also in DH it looks to me like the density of starting locations was a lot higher in the north-east than in the south-west.

Thank you for putting up a good fight. I spent many enjoyable hours trying to figure out how to beat on you.

Honestly your map position, trapped against the edge, was the main problem. On a per-gold basis, your sacreds are better than mine, and your archers, in quantity, can be effective getting rid of my pesky glamor. OTOH, every time you spend 200G on a commander, that is useless in combat until battle magic gets researched; whereas my commanders are all sacred thugs out of the box. Which is why I realized I had to attack you very early if at all.

Anyway, GG. Next go-around, I hope we won't be adjacent, or if we are, that I find out who you are sooner so I can talk to you.

- Alex, Helheim

I'm game for another round. Maybe a map that has more provinces/player this time?
