Default EA game - Dreams of Ghatanothoa (Finished - Winner Tratorix with Sauromantia)

New game is about to begin. Everyone is welcome, but I hope that you have some experience in longish MP games and can commit for playing it to the end.

The setup is as follows:

Era: Early
Map: TBD (wrap)
Players: 8-10
Mods: Latest CBM
Winner condition: Last player or consensus
Server: Llamaserver
Banned nations: Oceania, Atlantis, R'lyeh (we can discuss about this) the plan is to play on a dry map with just a few water provinces.

Diplomacy: is encouraged and binding - all NAPs (max 3 turns NAP binding) should be posted to this game thread or not considered binding. Remember however, that the sole purpose is to win the game.. not to play for the second place

Hosting schedule: Fixed hosting time for first 20 turns is every 24hours (no hosting on weekends), the following 20 turns will be hosted every 48hours (again no hosting on weekends), after that TBD. No exceptions what so ever - this is to ensure that the game goes on.

Begins as soon as we get the player criteria fulfilled.

Already picked nations:

Lihaässä - Marverni
Tmoe - Kailasa
Sirjope - Yomi
Nosferatu - Abysia
Olpe - Niefelheim
Ossa - Vanheim
ghoul31 - Agartha
Jimbojones1971 - Ermor
Tratorix - Sauromantia
Gurthang - Ulm

----- NAP3's -----

Yomi - Vanheim
Ulm - Marverni
Niefelheim - Ulm
Ermor - Yomi
Ermor - Vanheim
Kailasa - Vanheim
Kailasa - Marverni
Marverni - Niefelheim
Niefelheim - Kailasa
Ermor - Kailasa
Marverni - Ermor
Vanheim - Ulm
Abysia - Agartha
Abysia - Yomi

Thanks for joining Jimbo, Ossa and Ghoul.

We'll wait couple of days before launch. Any ideas for the map? I prefer 10-15 prov. per player.

One map option is from Elmokki: Plane of Rusty nails (wrap).

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=45271

It has 143 land and 12 sea provinces, so it should fit perfectly for a game with 10 players if we get two more players.

What do you think?

I don't like the water aspect of that map...

If we use rusty nails, be sure to grab v4 of the map (Calahan has spent quite a bit of time tidying up the map).

With the water we can either:
* Have no water nations; or
* Make the underwater spaces into "dead seas" (no income, no sites).

Given that the newer CBMs mean you can get decent waterbreathing stuff from Construction 2 onwards, I'd favour the first option (leave the map as-is, but have no explicitly water breathing nations).

But really, I am happy either way.

Leaving the map as is would give Agartha a bit of an advantage, since they're amphibious. But on the other hand, they're EA Agartha, which probably balances that advantage out.
