Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
I agree about handdrawn maps.
I don't think we should do slow research - it leaves research-dependent nations too vulnerable.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
I'll take any LA nation still left (preference towards Atlantis if it's still open).

What would be the benefit of slow research?

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
Slow research would make endgame more interesting, but would make magic boring in the early game.

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
Folket - shard is already T'ien Ch'i.
I'll pencil you in as Caelum, though of course you are free to change.
SqueekyDragon, I'll put you down as Atlantis.
Remaining nations: Agartha, Pangaea

Re: Sloth - LA game with KO and JK - recruiting
Since research output grows steadily as the game goes on, hard research doesn't do much to constrain the wildness of the late game. It just delays it a bit.
In the early game, though, slow research is a major drawback, especially for a nation with strong mages fighting a bless rusher like I'm doing in Evermore  .
