I just want to say (having just now downloaded and installed the thing) that I really like the idea of the impassable rivers in this map. Sure, it may not make sense that amphibious or flying units can't cross, but I think the benefits to gameplay will be substantial. With impassable barriers between some provinces, obnoxious and frustrating "raiding" tactics will be discouraged and there will be more of an emphasis on front-line battles at the chokepoints.

Game underway.

Updated the initial thread post so that player names are now links. The links either go directly to making a private message to the person, or to their personal forum page if they haven't activated pm.

googly1, your fine. It was unexpected for a new player to hop in after the game had already started at one point. We had actually gotten to first turn and had to start over because of a mistake made by me. So the guest list seemed set in my mind. Still, nothing wrong with extra players, particularly on a map this large. Welcome and good luck.

Good luck all

Nice Job Area of Effect! Do people normally use the pm to communicate? Most of my games have been back a few years. We didn't communicate very well as I recall. With 18 players, I'd like to see a game of diplomacy form up!

I find that if you make communication more accessible, it will happen a lot more.

People communicate in a variety of ways. PMs, posting in the game thread(for all to see, like NAPs or general trading), sometimes people use the ingame messages if they want to add a role-playing aspect to it for enhanced feeling.

Hey Guys. I have a problem. I submitted my turn 1 from the original game. Saw it was going to restart. I never got a new turn 1 and saw we are on Turn 2 and Bogarus didn't stall (but I didn't play Turn 1 from the new game, just the old) so I thought it might be glitchy so I requested a turn resend and did not get anything. Did someone else swipe Bogarus?

You have got to be kidding me.

Nope. I think I got hijacked. When the game restarted and I saw most pretenders up (including mine) I assumed it was there because I submitted pretender from first time. But somehwere in there I got hijacked.

In the interest of keeping game moving I'll be happy to just take whatever surprise scales and pretender the hijacker created. If you want to do that let me know and I'll PM you my email to switch to.

Alright, I'm not in a good mood about this.

Option 1: I unstart the game, kick the current Borgarus player, wait for mattyburn to submit a pretender, confirm its him/her via forum post, and then start the game manually again from turn 1.

Option 2: I hand the current nation of Bogarus to mattyburn by setting the email address to his/hers. Not a very good option as someone would be forced to play a pretender build they had nothing to do with.

Option 3: We continue playing as if nothing happened and let mystery player have their way. Not very fair to matttyburn though.

Option 4: I shut the whole game down cause its clearly a sign from actual gods that I shouldn't try to play god.
