If alts are still wanted I'd like to throw my hat in. I've played tons of SP but only a couple MP.

Captains, pick either method 1 or method 2 first. Once that is decided you can post your swap requests. Let's keep this orderly.

Drp, method 1 or method 2? I know it doesn't make much difference in terms of your assignments but there is a difference in the unassigned pool.

Chris says method 2, do you agree?

Algae method 1 or 2?

Agema method 1 or 2?

Seems the Deva's will be a giant powerhouse. I frankly don't know why other team captains didn't grab Hinnom using their first choice priviledge. I guess Hinnom and Niefel aren't so hot.

Ok, you guys know what you need to do, lets get going.

Welcome aboard, I'm assigning you to Noobheim, unless you've a preference otherwise. The Mysterios team is full.

2 alternate slots still available!

Happy to have him...

SS - I took DrP's comment as method 2 was fine, and then he'd like to switch to Pangeaa.

Great. I just signed up for the Noobs & Vets Team HQ board as well whenever i get mod approval. Out of curiosity what kind of ai mods are being used?

Hoplosternum · #**206** October 3rd, 2009, 05:41 AM

Gandalf is going to design the AI pretenders and I think going to give them some starting stuff via map commands (not sure of this though). We are also using the Better Independents - gold mod. This makes some of the less useful (but loved by the AI) independent troops very expensive. This stops the AI (and humans!) building lots of militia etc. So they build their own better national troops instead and this makes them tougher opponents.

I'd prefer the more equitable distribution of the 2nd method, as CP's team is very badly favoured compared to others by the 1st method.

DrPraetorious · #**208** October 3rd, 2009, 08:59 AM

2nd method.

chrispedersen · #**209** October 3rd, 2009, 09:38 AM

SS - Can we have the starting locations determined? I had previously preferred blue, but we need to know starting placements to optimize pretender designs.

Also, if someone could approve Animate, we'd like to start including him in our discussions.

Animate is approved. Just got the e-mail that he'd registered when I woke up(yeah, I sleep in, Saturdays). (lucky! that could technically be considered work(since it's productive), and normally I don't do work on saturdays.)

and the reason that hinnon wasn't higher on everyone's list was that basically everyone predicted they would be picked before they got a chance, so didn't bother.(I'm following the team forums)
