MP Game - Try Something New
 
I've started a new game at www.mosehansen.dk to be played on the World map with indep=6, hof=15, sites=50, otherwise default.

The 2 house rules, which rely wholly on player honesty as cheating would be impossible to detect, are as follows:

1. This must be your first multiplayer game playing the nation you choose, but there's no problem with practising single-player.

2. You may only play the Vampire Queen if you are a newbie (i.e. this is your first multiplayer game ever) or you're playing Black Forest Ulm.

Also, I'll kick all anonymous players before starting. If you don't already have it, the World map is available from http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html (I use the Torvak Version, but the standard one should work fine).

Finally, the turnaround is initially 24 hours with quickhost, but that will probably increase once we get into the game.

Mmm. Crunchy. Well, Cohen has challenged me to do well with Abysia, after I repeatedly mocked him for failure, and I've honestly never made them work before in MP....and I do so love the World map....so count me in.

I would be interested in trying to survive as Machaka (trying being the key word I guess).

Oops... I picked my nation *before* making a proper Pretender. Is there a way for me to withdraw from the game, and then to make a Pretender whose powers are not limited to "being mocked by her kin and mortals alike"? Thanks!

Norfleet please save your turns, and send me at game finished ^^

So I can learn how to play better Abysya.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The only way I know of is going annonymous and being kicked by the host (and then rejoining with the new pretender).
I can tell you from expirience that the new pretender won't replace the old and very sucky one >_<

Splendiferous. In as C'tis, unless someone objects. Kudos on deciding to start with 24 hour quickhost, then slow things down. It seemed like a great suggestion when it was first brought up, I was wondering why no one seemed inclined to use it.

Update: Edit retracted. Definitely in as C'tis.
