Could you clarify this? Does this mean that NAP-3 agreements we make must be honored? Or does that mean that I have to declare war 3 turns in advance against anyone I meet, even if we have no other diplomatic agreements?

The first option. None treaties are considered unbreakable apart from NAP, breaking a NAP has to come with a 3 turn warning. All nations start at war at the start of the game. Hmm, maybe I could rephrase that in the original post.

Where can I find Riverlands? Rusty Nails is fine too if we've run out of interested players.

I found here a "fixed" version of riverlands (called crown5). Sounds like it'd be a better choice.

The plain of rusty nails is looking pretty likely (assuming no late upsets in the polling!) - that would let us take in one more player (land nation), and then kick off.

When do you plan to make the call either way, Lung Drago?

BTW, I like the formal need to break NAPs, it will add a different flavour to the game which is always nice.

You're right. I think I will set up the game on llamaserver now so we can send our pretenders in. In the meantime, we can accept one more player.

Wow thanks! I am happy that this is being accepted. I thought this little rule will help us react to attacks and minimize undefended 10+provinces-at-the-same-time invasions ))

If there's opening I would like to join with Asdod.

btw, could you link the correct map version?

nvm, found it from my study, lying around under the sofa.

What is the deadline for pretenders?

Will quickhost be enabled?

Friday 2nd September? I should be able to start the game any day (I turned auto-start off to make sure that all pretenders received are correct) so we can start as soon as all gods are in.

And yes, I will enable quickhost. The way I understood the llamaserver, it can be set in such a way that it quickhosts when all turns are received and also hosts after a set time (which will be 36h at first, I do get the impression that some of you must be from the other side of the globe given the time of replies).


Reminder: Make sure you are creating your pretender with CBM 1.84 turned on.

Esmeralda The Good Witch of Ermor is in.

Don't be deceived by all those tricky undead, or the whole Broken Empire thing - Ermor are really the good guys! :-)
