[johnarryn]

The map will be "Cradle of Dominions"

nations already taken are:
Marverni - Zenphos
Abysia - Johnarryn
Helheim - Wrana
Yomi - Herode
Tien Chi - Wokeye
Rlyeh - Salamander8
Suaromatia - Kadelake
Caelum - Ossa
Mictlan - Cicadian
Kailasa - FeydMantis
Agartha - Starshine_Monarch
Lanka - Gregstrom

[Wrana]

BTW, are neutrals still at 7? And map - Cradle?

[johnarryn]

I actually think reducing indeps. to 5 is fairer - I think 7 indeps. makes bless nations (or nations with awake pretender) even better in the early game, which they really don't need to be.

I'm also fine with cradle with 10, although it will be pretty big.

[Cicadian]

I'm in with Mictlan. This'll be my first go with a blood nation so I'll probably fail

Might I also suggest Worthy Heroes? Dunno what Mictlan's are like but it sure improves most nations who would otherwise get crap.

[johnarryn]

Welcome Cicadian. Worthy heroes was planned to be used already, so no worries.

[Cicadian]

Pretender sent for Mictlan.

[Wrana]

I would prefer indepts 7 - for 5 is quite readily beaten by most start armies & doesn't really require quality troops or strong bless. 7 require some thought, though, & can sometimes cause affliction in poorly used SC pretender.

[FeydMantis]

I would like to give Kailasa a go if a slot is still open

[Duncan_Frost]

Hey! I'm back from holiday! Is there still a slot open? I'd like to be Agartha if possible.

[chrispedersen]

I'll take Lanka..
