Baalz: Excellent choice
TwoBits: Yes, you may bid lower than baalz.

Belac: Good point. I will change the auction process somewhat, so that the points bid will be the points that must remain, and I will lift the original idea of a dormant or imprisoned pretender. First post is updated with the current rules.

Pyg: I do view hinnom, and ashdod especially as stronger than any other nations. I also view the handicaps for sauromatia, and hinnom as under representative of their true strength.

However, this is a game, and I believe that *more* choices are a good thing. Starting bids are just that - starting. In this case all players are free to bid down on hinnom, figure out how to deal with hinnom in game, or gank him with diplomacy.

Grudgebringer: Thank you! I accept!

Hmmm, I thought the point was to handicap them relative to their true strength. Also I should be listed as having bid 45 on Hinnom.

I agree with LoloMo that there should be a bid increment. 10-20 sounds about right to me.

Thank you chrispederson. Very welcoming of you.

I would feel funny taking extra points. Let me take my chances with all the rest. I might get outbid anyway.

I assume I keep checking back here about the bidding, and then you send server info once we're ready to start.

The map is no longer attached to the OP. Is it still a work in progress?

Crap Baalz, Yomi was looking good to me at 400. It's always surprised me how much folks hate on Yomi, while I've liked them since even before CBM made the cheaper. I suspect your looking to make a worthy guide for these guys? I'd be all for that.

Well, since Yomi is off the table, I'll pretend I have a chance, and go for Marverni at the suggested 390.

(or, could I bid 399 for Yomi, and steal them from Baalz? is that how this is working?)

Should probably set some minimum step bid, for example, a lower bid should be at least 20 lower than the lowest bid, to be able to settle the auction in a reasonable time.

I would be new to multi-player, but I feel I qualify as fairly experienced in SP (3 yrs) and have read all the strategy guides on the forums for advice, etc.

If you'll have me, I am anxious to try Tir na n'og for 400 pts. I think I can put up a fight.

I understand if you don't want someone you don't know in your experienced players game, but let me know one way or the other please.
