Sorry, Juffo, but since you were the last of the undecided, and you're applying to another newbie game as well, I'm going to take Fakeymcfake over you.

Okay, I've been looking at the game map I suggested, and it can't really support two water nations with just six land nations. As such, I'm going to suggest going up to ten players and using the Glory of the Gods Multiplayer map. That gives a more even balance of land to water, with each land nation having about 28 regions and each water nation having about 23.

As such, Juffos, you're back in the lineup

Zapmeister · #3 November 12th, 2008, 05:16 AM

I'll try Vanheim.

natit · #4 November 12th, 2008, 06:05 AM

I'd like to have a try with Agartha if you'll have me

.

Denisius · #5 November 11th, 2008, 11:47 AM

I'll take up Pangea.

Juffos · #6 November 12th, 2008, 09:02 AM

No problem. I probably have far too many games already going.
Have fun, all of you!

Lokean · #7 November 12th, 2008, 11:00 AM

Right, recruitment complete. I'm afraid Loren lost out to Natit.

Final roster is as follows:

Aristander - Ermor
Carpetbagger - Atlantis
Denisius - Pangea
Fakeymcfake - Shinuyama
Heinrich - Ulm
Lokean - R'lyeh
Natit - Agartha
Shikome - Marignon
SteelyDan - Arcosephales
Zapmeister - Vanaheim

As I say, I'm not too concerned about the Conceptual Balance Mod, as I've not been playing with it in SP, but if the majority prefer it I'll set the game up to use it.

Aristander · #8 November 12th, 2008, 11:26 AM

I vote no the the CBM. I have nothing against CBM but would just like to keep things simple.

Thanks
Aristander

I'd prefer the CBM as the few multiplayer games I've played with it have been much more enjoyable due to everything being a bit more balanced out. However, I'm willing to go either way on this one.

Lokean · #10 November 12th, 2008, 05:18 PM

Looking through the CBM I notice a couple of things that might actually be the decider on whether we choose to use it or not. Most of the national summons are made cheaper, especially for Shinuyama, and the Carrion Woods are available to Pangea from the start.

On the other hand, the traditional scales used to pay for a massive bless are made more detrimental to have as negatives.

I'm still undecided, but leaning more towards using it, simply because it seems to be popular with MP games organised from here, so getting used to it is probably sensible.
