MP: YARG3, non newb MA+ENP2 RAND game. Executor's Ulm winner on turn 76

[Finalgenesis]

Damn... If I didn't have another long MP endgame hanging on my back I'd jump on this one grrr

[WraithLord]

Finalgenesis, YARG games are usually not stressful. The pacing is moderate and considerate.

I think you can safely join this one

[WraithLord]

ok. Map choices:
- Glory of the gods (multilayer version). Used for YARG2 and YARG1.
- AsiaTwist
- Alexander
- Westeros

Please vote or argue your favorite or bring other choices if you like.

Also, we can do this land nations only game. How do you feel about it?

As for nations pool, Dimaz you can use this list:
Abysia, Blood and Fire
Agartha, Golem Cult
Arcoscephale, The Old Kingdom
Ashdod, Reign of the Anakim
Atlantis, Kings of the Deep
Bandar Log, Land of the Apes
Caelum, Reign of the Seraphim
C'tis, Miasma
Eriu, Last of the Tuatha
Ermor, Broken Empire
Jotunheim, Iron Woods
Machaka, Reign of Sorcerors
Man, Tower of Avalon
Marignon, Fiery Justice
Mictlan, Reign of the Lawgiver
Oceania, Coming of the Capricorns
Pangaea, Age of Bronze
Pythium, Emerald Empire
R'lyeh, Fallen Star
Shinuyama, Land of the Bakemono
T'ien Ch'i, Imperial Bureaucracy
Ulm, Forges of Ulm
Vanheim, Arrival of Man
Shangri-La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters originally by Nounours, extended and maintained by Globu
Al-Nadim, The Thousand and One Nights by elmokki
Svarogia, Dark Forests by Executor
Arga Dis, Blood of Warriors by Sombre
Pythium, The Second Empire by Burnsaber

So either 28 nations or 25 land nations.

[WraithLord]

Since we're basically good to go I see no point in waiting too much for further enrollment. So I'll be closing the player's list tomorrow. This will make possible a better choice of suitable map.

Westeros looks pretty cool. I will test it some, and it will probably get my vote. Orania and Riverlands are the right size and they wrap. I played YARG2 on Alexander - maybe that's what I did wrong.

It will be very difficult to balance a map with a random # of water nations, so I say no to them also.

I like wrapped maps as they are much fairer.
Otherwise people at the corners and edges have a large advantage.

Orania is nice.

Orania is nice.

True, I'm also in favor of a wrap around map, but if we use Orania than the special sites in certain provinces need to be removed. Having known discount sites in a anonymous game is a very bad idea.

I agree. Sorry I didn't test this before. Is there a version w/o special sites? I will try my hand at removing them, but if there is someone who actually knows how to do it, I will gladly defer to you.

i m not yet a vet but i did pretty well in my first games. (i even managed to win one ) thanks to a lot of sp practicing.

So if you think i have the required level i d be glad to join.
Concerning the votes,if i m in, i m fully for the random nations, i don t mind about water nations and i d vote for the Westeros map which looks pretty nice.

[mockingbird]

I would also be in favor of leaving out the water nations.
