MP: I Need More Power! - yet another MA newbie game - Finished (Ulm won by agreement)

[Lung Drago]

Greetings. I lurked these forums for a little while anxiously awaiting a PBEM newbie game I could actually join to, yet my patience went dry. So, I jump the gun first!
Up to this point, I played only SP and I hardly can be considered a good or experienced player as I got my entrails spilled out of me by AI several times not so long ago. Does not matter to me, though. Also note that is still one of my fresh games with the CBM mod. Only my last 2 SP games were with CBM and I am still discovering the various changes.

Anyways, this IS A NEWBIE game. I am not going to set some "played game limit" as it looks silly to me, but please do think over if your level of skill will make the game enjoyable for you as well as for example, me ()
Mods:
CBM 1.84
hosted on llamaserver (completely no experience with this either, hopefully I wont commit a sin)

The game is over - Ulm won by diplomatic agreement Congratulations to Mightypeon!

Link to the map -> Plane of Rusty Nails v4 - v4 is at the bottom of the thread

Number of players: 11 - final number
Map: will be based on number of players gathered
Era: Middle Age
Strength of Indies: 7
HoF: 15
renaming on
Graphs on
Picked nations
Research: Normal
Gold multiplier: 125
Resources multiplier: 125
Supply multiplier: 125
Diplomacy: Encouraged! Machiavellian type, but with a 3 turn warning before breaking a NAP treaty. All nations are to be hostile to each other at the start of the game.
Turn frequency: I'll follow the general standard here, start fast (36h) and gradually grow slower as the micromanagement rises

Last, but not least: as this is a newbie game I optimistically do not expect to meet problems regarding using of exploits that I stumbled upon reading on these forums. But just for the record, I dislike such behavior. Stay fair, people. If you cannot swallow a defeat, then you will be a newbie forever. In spirit of my previous sentence, please do not go AI after a single major battle lost

Looking forward to an enjoyable game!

Added you in ^^ If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to speak your mind

[cool_hc]

I would like to join as Shinuyama. Thanks

[BewareTheBarnacleGoose]

Hi! Could I join as C'tis?

[jimbojones1971]

I think I've played about 8 MP games, so I'm not a complete n00b but I'm still pretty green (not to mention inept).

If you think its appropriate, I'd like to give MA Ermor a shot (or, failing that MA Jotunheim).

(I am, however, reasonably comfortable with how the llamaserver works, so if you need any tips I am very happy to help, whether I am playing or not.)

Well as I said earlier I do not believe that skill of a player can be measured simply by played games (real-life experience ). It's ok. Thanks for your offer of help, I will certainly keep that in mind!


5 players already! I think this is shaping up quite nicely

[momfreeek]

Hi. I'd like to join as Man. My first MP

[FAJ]

It has been a long time since I have played, and I was never terribly good Trying to get back into the game, essentially as a newbie.

I would like to join as Abysia.

Thanks everyone for signing in ^^

Since players began to pour in (which I am happy to see) I think it is ok for us to slowly begin deciding on which map do we want to play on I kinda like how the map "Urapparand" looks, what do you guys think? Also Shahrivar or Cradle of Dominion look good to me.
