Utility: List of games currently seeking players (Making a new game? Need Subs? Post Here!)

[Immaculate]

I definitely don't feel ready to host a game yet.

Crusaders, an EA game using several mods, needs a sub for Lanka. The nation is doing well currently, so pm me if you're interested.

Noobs & Vets just needs someone above intermediate experience who can captain for my team, The Blessed Ones. Reply soon, the admin's giving us all dirty looks!

The game Noobs & Vets has additional alternate slots available for interested players.

Being an alternate is really a goodness and a blessing. Why you ask?

• Doesn't require as large a time commitment as being in the starting lineup.

• You are potentially able to play up to 4 nations, instead of being limited to just one.

• You have access to the team forum and are privy to all team discussions.

• A guaranteed position in the starting lineup of the next game in the series with first or second choice nation privileges and/or other bonuses.

When it comes right down to it, being an alternate is a great thing. I wish more game creators incorporated the idea and took the time to think ahead. So don't miss out, be an alternate today!

Mists of Time is looking for a permanent sub for Hinnom.
It's turn 50. Hinnom's at war with Vanheim and has staled a few times, but it's still in decent shape. And it's still Hinnom.

More details available in the game thread and from the current player Amonchakad.

I'll be going on vacation next week until mid October and I'm looking to get some cover for my positions in the meantime;

1) Mists of Time, EA TC, turn 50. Strong position though its graphs off - so who knows? Turns will take a fair amount of time though, as you'll land right in the middle of a war with bloodhappy Lanka

2) Acronymless, nation X, turn 39 middle era, RAND 'ish'. Fast game as diplomacy is only allowed through in-game messages. Unfortunately our admin for this one seems to have disappeared.

3) Vicious Circle 3, Sauromatia, turn 30+. Decent, still relatively early in the game and no ongoing wars so quick turns.

4) The Early Days, Mictlan, turn 20+. Very tough, though its your chance to pit your wits against Baalz's Hinnom. Survive and be a hero!

SummerMadness is looking for a permanent sub for Fomoria.

It's turn 55. Fomoria has staled 3 out of the 4 past turns, and it just got invaded by Yomi (1 turn in), but it's mostly intact. The nation spent most of the game amassing troops, teching up, and fighting EA R'lyeh to a stalemate. The nation has good tech, poor gem income (or presumably is clamming or something), and had a rather defensible position.

This will definitely be a challenging scenario given that Arcoscephale leads in overall charts, Pangaea employs a crushing dompush supported by Carrion Woods, Yomi dominates with magic research and decked out Dai Oni SCs, and Atlantis is entrenched in water with strong magic income and plenty of provinces. I *think* Fomoria has good relations with his few other neighbors though (Arcoscephale, Atlantis) so something might work out alright. But winning is going to be really difficult.

Fortunately the aim of the game is strategic exploration, so people have some pretty quirky combos set up, and I'd imagine it would be interesting to play in a world with some alternative strategies employed.

PM Elegy (current admin) to get more info.
