Default Manatee - EA newbie game (started)

I just realised I haven't started a newbie game for _ages_, so here's one now. I'm calling it Manatee, following my theme of naming my games after South American mammals.

The game will be early era. There'll be roughly 15 provinces per player and as many players as sign up. All settings default, and no mods.

The game'll be run on my automated PBEM server (www.llamaserver.net , and see the FAQ linked in my signature). It's very easy to use.

The game'll be on a 24 hour timer, and later move to a 48 hour timer when players request it.

The player list is:

Marverni - hEad
Tir Na n'Og - thepodger
Pangaea - Omnirizon
C'tis - Elswamio
Oceania - Loren
Agartha - Cerlin
Ermor - eidahl
Lanka - Randvek
Kailasa - yandav
Arcoscephale - carlosib
Abysia - Aapeli
T'ien Ch'i - Thrawn
R'lyeh - Zoshan
Niefelheim - Falkor
? - Molotov98
Sauromatia - Slobby
Ulm - ThatGuyBob

To submit your pretenders:

- Make sure you have the same mods enabled as the game you're playing in (Preferences->Mod Preferences) although only mods affecting pretender design, such as Conceptual Balance, actually matter
- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions. Don't set a password, since for PBEM games they're not helpful and occasionally annoying (e.g. if you need a sub)
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name 'Manatee' in the subject line of your e-mail

I don't know if I qualify as a newbie anymore; I've only been in one game where I've lasted past midgame, but I am/have been in 6 other games total. I have never played a blood nation MP though, and I would like to give Mictlan a try.

I'll let llamabeast and/or the other players decide, with no hard feelings if I'm not considered newbie enough. ; )

If we get 10 land + 2 water nations, we could use my Cradle starting positions (without the No Independents part, of cousre)...

Hey Indy - yep, you can play, but I think chooser a weaker race than Mictlan might be an idea - they always seem pretty strong.

hEad - yep we'll have renaming on. I forgot that that wasn't default.

I was going to include Worthy Heroes, but then I thought I might as well keep it simple.

I'd be glad to join. I'm definitely not new to Dominions, but I've never done any MP.

Sign me up for Tir Na N'og. I just started playing them in SP and they're a ton of fun.

Seconding Worthy Heroes if it's not too late...

I want a slot. I'll give a nation in the morning.

Maybe this time I won't be the first or second taken out.
