Apparently I did give my Crone an extra Magic scale, sorry. She only had 1 point leftover. I suppose the idea for my crone wasn't the whole old age thing, but moreover giving their guy a bunch of magic paths that made no sense. Note she only has one Death magic skill and no Nature Magic at all. This way, it is extraordinarily difficult to cast Carrion Woods that is so important to LA Pangea. Besides, even a Wight Mage is not THAT hard to kill. To help this along, I gave her a low level of Astral magic so she can be Mind Dueled. The scales I made so it would be difficult to raise a large non-undead army. Minotaurs are expensive and, while the production helps a bit, it is effectively countered by the Turmoil and Death scales. Not to mention the Death scale will make it quite difficult to field a large army because of supply, and with the relatively high dominion, the effects will easily spread to their conquered provinces. So basically, I had nothing special in mind, just sort of an all-around kind of sucky.

Sometime tomorrow. Gandalf was gonna generate a map for me.

I also need anyone who is going to play to PM me with their e-mail so I can tell llamaserver. Once both of those things are done we can start.

I PM'd you a link to a catalog. Let me know if you want some changes and want me to generate a new batch of maps for you to shop thru.

Several of those maps would be fine.

I'll pick one and send it to llamaserver sometime tonight - RL issues have come up with regards to my little brother and I'm kinda swamped today.

You'll need to download the attached map, which was generously provided by Gandalf using the mapgen generously provided by Paradoxbringer.

Sorry for the delay; finding housing for my little bro has been exhausting and my PI (boss) just got back from vacation, so I've been a bit swamped. The map is attached - you will need it to play. I'm not 100% pleased with the graphic changes I made on this one but at least it should be possible to tell the terrains apart easily.

I picked this map because it has a lot of choke points, which pleases me.

I'll upload pretenders and then switch over to e-mails for all the players as soon as llamabeast sets up the game. Thanks to llamabeast for providing the hosting and e-mail server.

We'll start with a 48hr quickhost in case people have problems, and then move to 24 hrs until a war starts, at which point I'll move back to 48, unless that seems unreasonable to anyone?

Good luck (or bad luck, if you get my pretender design)!

I'm a little drunk, hopefully I didn't forget anything.

Nice choices. Were the colors OK for recognition?

I particularly like what you did for subtle recognition of "farmland". I need to remember that one.
