I've only played a few multiplayer games, and none with people on this forum, but I would like to join as Lanka, if you don't mind playing with a newb.

What about using End-Diversity mod?

Finalgenesis · #4 June 27th, 2010, 11:59 PM

Lanka if that's okay.

Happy with CBM, neutral with EDM, happy with unhinged diplomacy (unenforced).

No trading of gold / gem / item understood, but how about vague things like province swap, services ...etc? I wouldn't mind unhinged trading either (full diplo).

I'll play Mictlan. btw, why is Marverni in this, they aren't a blood power, they can just blood sacrifice...

Digress · #6 June 28th, 2010, 06:18 AM

Which is sometimes enough ...

and if the are lucky they might get a Bloodhenge Druid over the course of the game ... so if they take blood on their pretender they might have two blood mages at the SAME TIME.

13lackGu4rd · #7 June 28th, 2010, 06:21 AM

ummm, anybody can take blood on their pretender if they want...? still doesn't make them a blood nation... and everyone can charm/enslave/etc a blood henge druid if you find a province with them, same goes for the circle masters, etc...

Digress is referring to their CBM multihero probably.

Finalgenesis · #9 June 28th, 2010, 06:46 AM

Ah someone have taken Lanka already, apologies didn't see that.

As it happens I may not have time to handle 3 games with adequate forethought currently, so I will take this chance to bow out. Wish you all a good game!

Cosmonaut, Lanka is yours. I'm not terribly experienced myself. My intent here was to make a newbie friendly game but with all skill levels welcome. So, welcome aboard.

As for End Game Diversity mod, I like it myself. If there is more interest, I'd be happy to include it.

On Marverni, I was stretching the blood theme a bit to make 10 to work with the Primea map. As I agree is less thematic, I'll drop Marverni and change the map selection to Llama's deadseas version of Parganos with 8 starts.
