Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"

[Immaculate]

Here is the game link.

This is an early age game with a more relaxed pace- we'll start at 36h/turn then quickly move to 48h or more once year two arrives. Players are expected to be a mix of newbs, intermediate and more experienced players. There aren't a lot of Vets playing on these boards but we'd ask you to kindly excuse yourself from playing in this game if you consider yourself a veteran.


This game is meant to launch the one Parone referred to in this post. In the interest of getting Parone’s game started, I took it upon myself to co-administer with him and to get the settings published. I assume this is fine with Parone but if its not, then we can arrange something.

Nothing else is. You play by your word. Please do not allow personal grudges from other games to influence your decisions and do not allow the events of this game to influence you in other games.

House rules:
Usual stuff, common sense applies here. No bogus orders, no lab-flooding or invisi-sieges, etc. If newer players have any questions about this section, they should mention their concerns. Note that with this mod the free ettins should not be a concern (thank you Shard for your insightful and much appreciated comment)


IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEWER PLAYERS: please DO NOT set yourself to AI without prior approval. if for whatever reason you're unable or unwilling to continue playing, either find a sub or just make a post in this thread saying you have to bow out - it takes the same amount of time, and prevents the rest of the community from hating you forever.
