Yes. Lets ban it as it does seem like an abuse. I don't think we goods had struck on this strategy. But it may have come to us later.

Will this also be an issue with other globals? If so perhaps a limit on the extra gems you can put in to the Gift of Health, Mother Oaks etc. should be put in? Good is likely to be able to always outbid evil here as it will always be 5 v 1.

If we said you can't put in more than double the minimum cost on a global? Or just 50% more? That would give Evil a chance to dispel anything good puts up. While good still has the advantage that they will be able to cooperate to cast such spells and should always be able to put up a decent dispel.

Other globals are not so powerful. And only one good nation will benefit from GoH. There are only 4 good nations, not 9, because they can cooperate. And they must cooperate, for example with trying to grab many globals, dividing research, item forging etc. That's why they are taking Ulm

Well then if only really experienced player may play neutral, it obviously rules me out.
I've only played 3 MP games, and only 2 beyond turn 40...:-/

Have fun guys

I logged into the server, and all I see are Early Age nations. How do I upload my Machaka pretender?

Three different games will have to be set up to choose pretenders from all 3 ages, with 3 different ports if I remember correctly from the first megagame.

Okay, due to popular demand, the Arcane Nexus is now banned!

Foodstamp -- how do I merge the 3 games once everyone is uploaded? I am confused..

Talk to Velusion, he is the only person I know who has ran a multi-era game. Considering the limited amount of players in this game, I could probably create a mod that allows players to do it. I can move all the desired nations to one era of your choice and as long as everyone has the mod installed, we should be able to play the game like that.

It would probably be a lot easier than doing it the way the Megagame did it and would literally take me about 10 minutes to do the mod. But I have class and work until 9cst so I will be away from the house for about 12-13 hours, but I could do it first thing when I get home.

Ok, first problem. I tried to upload my pretender...and it didnt work.
First I got to the page, and it showed all the options for All nations mod, but then when i tried to scroll down it kept jumping me to the top of the list, so I couldnt get to MA abysia.
Same problem. This must be a known issue?

Will someone PLEASE tell Cerlin, Randvek or me what the hell to do, AS I CANT UPLOAD MY GOD!!!

None of us can upload our gods, we are trying to figure it out. Patience! We will get it working.

Kheldron, while I think the neutrals have the toughest job (basically you have to conquer the map - alone) you should get a fairly peaceful start and a beginning boost. Not bad for a newer player.

No one really knows how this game will play out so I am not sure why you can't be neutral. You may get swarmed by good (or evil) at some point but I am not sure if its many against one that even experience will help that much.

But personally I hope you are not banned for being fairly new to mp. And I can't see any real reason for it.
