Maybe I understand this wrong, but the mercenaries should be more expensive than using your own forces, but more easily deployed.

The 36 hour delay has been implemented, current nav.cfg reads 100 hours.
My above thanks goes to rdonj for participating. I of course extend it to everyone who has played, including Maerlande, Ghoul, Ling, Hoplo, Frozen, etc.
Illuminated, yeah I think the mercenary nation is a nice idea. It is not completely necessary, but would be a nice spin. Those were only suggestions of course. Whoever plays it is free to charge whatever they want for their services. The only service that I will likely require they provide is the toll passage, I suggest it be expensive to approximate what one would need to spend on assembling an army large enough to beat the magic site guardians which WILL be there if there is no Atlantian freelancer present.
Aside from 3 or 4 rules simple rules, I intend to keep it as simple as possible. They will certainly not be an overlord type nation, will not be made overly powerful, and cannot win or lose the game. Think of them as a tool a team can use. A more versatile and powerful version of an in-game merc.
You'll know "for whom the bell tolls", when you see that Atlantian banner approaching your provinces on land, or when you see a gurgling and bubbling in that underground lake in your backyard. It tolls for thee.

Heh, yes, my sub thread has gone completely insane. By the way, fine job you're doing stagger lee. You have brought about an unexpected surge in effectiveness of the blessed ones and are a real credit to your team.

Ok, putting 12 more hours on the clock. If worse comes to worst, maybe Squirrel or another team member can submit the turns.

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
Okay, the turn just hosted "early", causing me to stale.
Now, in the past, we've done a rollback when this happened under the promise not to look at turns?
I haven't looked at my turn - so, I want to do a rollback so I don't stale. Staleing on this turn could (and I haven't looked, so I don't know) possibly end the game, I think, so this is something of a big deal....

Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
Actually, scratch that. Since Sauromatia and I *both staled*, this is unlikely to have prematurely ended the game  .
Nonetheless - what do people want to do?
