It is difficult to make a pretender without knowing whether random events are common or rare.

As WSzaboPeter pointed out correctly from the first post - all things not explicitly mentioned are default.

So yes - random events are common.

Thanks! Could you please turn off the red in my quote, it's painful to look at.

And I'll get going on making my pretender.

I think that those settings that are not mentioned are standard. So, strength of independents will be 5, multipliers 100, random: common and so on.
This makes sense, doesn't it?

BTW: I have uploaded my pretender for LA Arcoscephale, Sibylline Guidance. I'm a bit sad that I lost LA Ermor, but that's my bad luck.

Sorry about winning that roll . At least you got your second pick though... poor DrPraetorious lost three in a row and FrankTrollman gave me a list of 10 and didn't' get any of his...

Actually the only reason my first choice was LA Ermor was because I was randomly assigned em once in another big game. Now that I sort of figured out what I was screwing up I want to try again. I almost didn't pick them because of the micromanagement though...

I don't even remember you playing anything else than Ermor, since you were somehow always assigned to them from a draft (yes, even when he didn't do the draft... ).

So, seeing the nations and players, anybody care to take a guess at who the front runners are going to be?

Here's my top three to watch:

LA Marignon - Catquiet
LA Ermor - Velusion
EA Caelum - Terawaerto (%5)

[Gandalf Parker]

EA Tir na O'og ..... Meglobob
LA Patala ..... Morkilus
EA Niefelheim ..... Honeybadger
LA Atlantis ..... FrankTrollman

and Pretender using EA Pangaea if he hadnt pulled out
He was going to use one of my strategy plans for large-map/long-games altho having the game filled up might have altered that abit.
a Difficult Pangaea strategy

Baalz,
Could you elaborate on why you mentioned me? I am genuinely surprised and a bit confused.

I vote for Baalz dominating the game with LA Mictlan.

I had compiled a fairly large list of contenders. But I began to realize that there is one player that stands heads and shoulders above the rest. He is the epitome of excellence and the deliverer of swift justice.

So I deleted my long list because I felt it was pointless because no player can hold a candle to:

EA Agartha - Foodstamp (%10)

[Baalz]

Oh, I just looked for people I've seen play good games who got nations I consider strong in a game like this. EA Caelum was one of my alternate picks, and you seem to handle yourself fairly well. A 5% head start won't hurt either.
