MP: Cursed be Iron, a game that ran over a year: winner OSSA, Pangaea, turn 125

As requested, we will make the initial turn interval 36H+QH.

I understood there might be a site where one can recruit Wild Ettins, we might want to forbid this as a house rule?

Then the map discussion:

Plain of Rusty Nails could work, any other votes? You can propose any map you think appropriate.

I would also like to consider suitability of maps called
-Land of milk and honey
-Land of Legends
-Galadia
-Cradle of Dominions


We might want to consider if we want wrap or non-wrap. Wrapped map offers more dilpomatic challenge and no1 would be dropped in the middle as a target practise for others nations.

and btw, now that nations are out feel free to prepare the characters. I am gonna open the game tomorrow latest.

You might want to consider getting another water nation. Giving Atlantis a free run until late game and pretty much guaranteed 20+ nearly uncontestable provinces might be an uneven setup.

I'm not sure what was the experience level sought after. I feel the 'intermediate' games at this forum be in my comfort zone (finished abt 9 games with 1 win). If this is ok, and you need another water nation, then sign me up as R'lyeh.

I'm sick of land of legends- the starting spots can really ruin you if you are dependent upon resources.

Cradle of dominions i've done already. Never tried Galadia...

Rusty Nails i've played about 10 turns on and i really liked it- And i am pretty sure it wraps which is a nice difference for me because my other games are both land of legends (limited military fronts). So yeah, thats my vote.

And yeah, no free Ettins.

Looking forward to the pomp, dazzle, frippery, splash, pedantry, splendor and fanfare of a proud and noble "Hydra Parade"! (have you bought your tickets? no refunds in case of 'allergy' to hydra elegance or misbehaving hydras eating children- i'm sorry- thats the Pythium senate's official policy)

[Morla]

My vote goes to Plain of Rusty nails.

No free ettins.

[Anaconda]

Distribution of provinces in PoRNv4 is what worries me. Any1 got excat numbers?

And sure, I am up to get another water nation if theres liebenraum. One ater nation wont be a problem, other only need to adjust for him. For example agartha can enter water and buy water PD, and so on...

143 land + 12 sea (source: http://www.llamaserver.net/mapModBrowser.cgi)


(edit: note that due to wrapping those corners are actually one big lake)

[Anaconda]

Thats not good to two water...

Any opposition for Crafle of Dom, it has plenty of room for 2 water nations?

[Bullock]

I think i will get the last slot.
I don't know yet which nation i will lead to victory
