Version 3.08 Newbie game (finished)

[Lily]

I'm currently playing in my second MP game so I'm not a complete newbie. I'd be keen to play in this game, but feel free to say no if you'd prefer people who've played less.

[lch]

Nah, that's fine by me. Just say which age you want to play and a national preference for both of the ages.

[Lily]

Cool, thanks. I'd like to play EA Mictlan or MA Machaka, I don't mind which.

[jutetrea]

Same here, in my first 2 MP right now. So up to you.

EA Nief or Tir
MA Pan or Arco

Pref EA

[Lily]

I've heard that EA Niefelheim can be quite overpowered. Trying to fight against an early rush with blessed Niefel Giants sounds like it might not be much fun for new players. Personally I'd vote not to have them in the game. If jutetrea is happy to play Tir n'a Nog I think that might be better. It'd be good to see one of the new nations in action anyway.

[jutetrea]

Kind of agree, but I've never played a bless strategy and wanted to try one. Also, one of the game I'm in I think I'll be facing them soon *shudder*

S'all good though I'd love to try out the new nation in MP. Only played them a few times in SP so far.

[lch]

Okay, I've booked you with Tir now. I'd like to see how the new races are going to fare, too, after all.

Since I never heard anything back from davegg I'm still waiting for one or more players. Could we already fix the age in which the game is going to be, EA or MA? Then you could already start designing your pretenders and playtest a little.

Vote EA

[Lily]

I've been playing SP Machaka today so now I'm keen on playing the game in MA. That said, if I'd been playing Mictlan I'd be all keen for EA so I guess it doesn't make too much difference to me which era we play.

So that's a vote for MA but not a particularly strong one.

[Bluebird]

I vote for MA, as EA is more tricky for newbies with weak troops and magic as a very important factor. So, my vote is for MA, too.

BTW: I would prefer Eriu - and if that is not available - then Man.
