Pretenders should be given nations name!
This is to prevent unintentional disclosure of player ID.
i.e. If you play Agartha you call your pretender Agartha. That's it, no games please.

Re. nation assignment. PM your nation selections to Calahan, this isn't a RANDOM nation game so first picks apply, it might be preferable to send 2-3 first choices as your first pick might already be chosen.

Please start designing your pretender once you select your nation.

@ All - Please DO NOT PASSWORD PROTECT your pretenders, as it makes it very difficult to sub your nation out should you go AWOL for any reason.

Banned spells: Burden of Time, Arcane Nexus, Astral Corruption, Forge of the Ancients (Edit - Wrote acronyms in full to avoid any possible confusion)

Ill sign up for this, PM sent. Fairly standard settings are good for me, I'd Suggest CBM and EDM for mods just to keep things a bit more balanced.
Are you sure about no renaming? It can save a lot of hassle with mage micro.

I agree, I have no problem with renaming, but it's to protect players from themselves.
If everyone is willing not to be stupid and not name their pretender/commanders as to reveal their identity renaming will be ON.

Welcome aboard.

I agree about the banned spells myself but it isn't a deal breaker.

I've expanded early in plenty of games. But I didn't ask you for your opinion anyway.

[GrudgeBringer]

Well, I HATE micro management (it just goes with the game) and if you want to rename a scout to say 'Scout 1' and 'Scout 2', I would say GREAT.

However, some of us have pet names for certain things and we use them in most every game. All it would take would be to see 1 of these names in a battle or anything and the idenity would be up.

I know for certain some of the names people use for Commanders etc to make it easier and I also have mine.

Just my opinion

[Hylobius]

I'd like in please.
