I'll get my pretender in tomorrow.

I too am going away this weekend (actually, Thursday - Sunday) but I may be able to borrow a laptop. If not, I'll try to find a sub.

Duh! What precisely is the effect of "enchantment bonus 50"? I have been too lazy to figure that out (and I am extremely lazy about that stuff... ugh!) Maybe one of these days, one of you guys will sit me down and answer my questions. I will bring the gin and vermouth.

Enchantment bonus 50 means enchantment rituals in that province will cost only 50% of the normal amount of gems.

Oversway told me that he can't join in. So, perhaps, YC can play?

Thanks, QM, for the education!

Hmm... It would seem that on Orania, in Winterland (#277) there is an Ice Devil instead of an Ice Druid. Is it just me, or can someone maybe verify whether this is the case universally? The only mods in operation are the ones in use with this game, and the .map seems to detail there being an "Ice Druid" in the province. Do the Zen mods touch upon the Ice Druid, or only on the Frost Father? If it's renamed or something, I could see it causing behavior like this.

Not an issue, of course, as a stronger than usual province defense would touch upon everyone equally, but weird things are always intriguing!

I don't care to read 10 pages of post to see the status of this game. I'd like to join as C'tis... Note that it is the hosts job to update the first post with info. Come on people, don't be lazy!

My map file says that there is an ice devil. I think it�s intentional since he is accompanied by 15 frost fiends.

The ice druid is in winter woods, province 5.

But I�d really like to use my modified mapfile since a known enchantment 50 site with weak defenders is pretty unbalancing. The other preplaced special sites are fine imho.

That is a lot of reading, even for the industrious person you appear to be. Perhaps the first few lines of the first post would be of interest to you.

The rules are simple:
1. All nations will be randomly assigned. No one except the host knows which player belongs to which nation. I am shooting for 17 players here.

Argitoth, perhaps you didn't notice the game is : "Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy"? In other words, nations are randomly assigned, no one knows who has what nation, and there's no diplomacy ingame or on the forums.

In other words, no you certainly can't join as C'tis.
Sheesh.

Oh, sorry Turin! There seems to be no end to my dizziness these days... I agree about the Oak of Ages, it's far too good to be preplaced. Hence, I'm all for using your mapfile.
