As much as I love the new trend of 6-player games, I thought it might be nice to get a slightly larger one going. As such, I would like to welcome everyone to the rope bridge! MA, standard settings, with graphs off, this game is open to players of all skill levels - although if this is one of your first MP experiences, I'd highly encourage you to take the time to get extremely familiar with game mechanics and come in with the expectation that it might be a short trip*.
*and also with the intent to stick it out to the bitter end, even if you're getting crushed - it's a great way to learn.
Game Info

EDIT: Please make sure that your map image file is Riverlands_for_RopeBridge.tga, and NOT ropebridge.tga. I'd mistakenly included the wrong image in one of my zips. The above link is now correct.

Diplomacy: Machiavellian. Trades are binding. As for the rest, think of it like the board game Diplomacy - you can do whatever you want, but reneging on treaties is likely to have consequences on your ability to pursue further diplomatic options within this game. Please keep any hurt feelings over political machinations within the confines of this game, however.
House rules: Usual stuff, common sense applies here. No bogus orders, no free ettins, no lab-flooding or invisi-sieges, etc. If newer players have any questions about this section, please feel free to ask in the thread and I'll be more than happy to explain in greater detail.
Note that I will be simultaneously recruiting on several forums; I'll do my best to keep the nations list current, but it's first-come, first-serve across all boards.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEWER PLAYERS: please DO NOT set yourself to AI without prior approval. if for whatever reason you're unable or unwilling to continue playing, either find a sub or just make a post in this thread saying you have to bow out - it takes the same amount of time, and prevents the rest of the community from hating you forever.
