What will your first game be and why?

[Nerfix]

I'll try out LE Atlantis if possible.

[Sindai]

Ashen Ermor because they've always been my favorite theme because of how unique their mechanics are from everyone else.

Then early R'lyeh because I think they're the Aboleth theme, which should be awesome. Mind control everywhere!

Then Abyssia middle era because they were the first race I ever played in the Dominions 2 demo, and blood summons are fun.

[Fate]

I'll play the late age japanese nation (Jomon?) because I like their theme, I would like to ease into playing with extended magic (I have only played the demos so far).

Then maybe the one-eyed people, also late age (mostly because they have an Olm!).

[Gandalf Parker]

I will quickly create my favorite gods for Pangaea and Oceania (water pangaea).

Then I will create a god for Mictlan in case someone talks me into a multiplayer game. Only because I totally love the idea of having a giant flying assassin god that can summon demons to help with the assassinations.

Then I will start it generating maps and more maps and more maps and then some strange maps

Or Agarta. I want to play around with the Olm. I'll name him (her?) either "The Coiling" or "Gebirgskönig".

You really should name it Mikko Alkio if you want to be hip.

As will I. How exciting!

RNG in the sense of rolling dice? Or in the sense that there's finally a "choose random AIs for game" option? (Preferably with checkmarks to disallow nations, so newbies can avoid Ermor and the like, and others can avoid nations that tend to use abusive cheats (ie : targetting the human player when they can't even see him)).

Now any AI or human player slot can be set to pick a random nation not already picked by another player slot.

EDIT: Did I mention cumulative VPs?

Thanks for the tip. Or maybe "PERKELEEN PUNIKKI SOSIALISTI".

Cumulative VPs a la the King of the Hill scenario? Awesome! Many thanks Illwinter!
