Experience: Any
Settings: Renaming on, HoF: 15, otherwise normal.

Other Rules: Ashdod is not allowed since its presence in the game is enough to warp the metagame, be it overpowered or not. Diplomacy is normal - breaking NAPs is frowned upon but not banned; trades are to be honoured.
Hosting: Flexible, since the existence of new spells might require some extra brainwork from the players. Small extensions (<12h) are granted on simple request.

This game will be using my CPCS mod, which adds new cross-path combat spells to diversify early and mid-game combat. It also adds some UW only combat spells (those of you who have fought UW wars probably understand why). CPCS has been in SP testing for 2 months now and I'm pretty sure that it is somewhat balanced. But this will be the first game to feature this mod in a MP game.
The spells will affect the game and change the balance. But the intention of this mod is to make that change as positive as possible. See the FAQ in the mod thread. Consider this game as a chance to play your favourite differently. Perhaps some new spells allows you to take a different route on your mid-game expansion, or give you new weapons to counter some of your foes stragedies.
The Urraparrand map has a lot of water but this is intentional to encourage some UW mayhem and thus usage for the new UW spells. However, there will be minimum of 2 water nations for balance reasons. Nations are given on the "first come, first served" basis. Because it could be argued that I have advantage because of the mod (I made it, so I'm quite aware how it works and stuff), I'll choose my nation last.
