Oh BTW we have so many players now, it would be *really* nice if we could get a full house. We should wait a day or two for that if possible.

Well I know of only 2 ways:

1) they have freaky troops in the scouting report. That usually means something is up.
2) You can simply look at the map file. That will also tell you exactly what is defending the province.

Oh and I just tried Diabolic Faith Marignon. Not Bad. With a very heavy bless (F9S9) they are not too horrible. Of course this means that you have no SC. And that's really, really bad.

i just looked at the map file, and almost everyone's got at least one special province near their capital, EXCEPT for Caelum!! what an outrage!!! the nearest specials are like right smack inbetween Ermor and Pangeae or between Pangeae and Vanheim! Talk about asking for trouble!!

(and I'm guessing that "special" provinces basically have alot more magic sites then normal provinces)

Boron,

In order for Lex to be able to upload Caelum two things need to happen:

1) Huzurdaddi needs to set his current Caelum position to anonymous
2) You must kick off all anonymous players.

i've claimed the annonymous Caelum slot, and uploaded my God. so no need to kick off anonynous players anymore

It sure does. That 100 gold is disposable. Don't get me wrong I generally make thurges + communicants instead of arch thurges, but you have to make sure that your wars are concluded in a few short battles or you are going to lose a lot of gold.

Each communicant is only the equivalent of 3 principes in cost, and you'll lose more than that in a large battle.

Really? I don't know what metric you are going by. In terms of awesome human troops I would think that the Emerald Guard would be the best human troops in the game.

Machakan hoplites are far more affordable for nearly the same combat potential.

If you think that elves are human than probably vans are the best.

Human troops refers to units that don't have superhuman stats and aren't referred to as being non-humans or augmented humans. No humanbred, wardens, or van.

Yes this is, IMO their strength.

That plus having fire, earth, nature, and death magic, along with fairly cheap mages for most of those paths. They really don't have to worry much about undead SCs for example, with all the witchdoctors they'll have.

yeah saw it
if you want to be 100% sure though you can go anonymous , i kick it now and you reupload

[Boron]

still unassigned :

-Marignon
-Ulm
-Atlantis
-Ctis

so if we could get at least 2 more players would be great imo
if nobody wants to play atlantis i understand this .

but would be really great if we get a full house or at least 15 players

[deccan]

Is Atlantis somehow penalized on this map?

not afaik they have even a rather good position because they and ryleh have each a sea for themselves

my statement was just because atlantis seems to be the least liked nation of all for mp .

[Tannath]

I have 2 questions:
1 - What do you think if the unassigned nations are played by the AI? That way we would have a full map.
2 - When are we going to start? I need a few hours to work in my pretender...

Thank you
