Randomocalypse - 5 players, randomly generated nations - Squirrelloid wins!

[Valerius]

With the disappearance of the pantokrator a great war was fought. Pretenders led their followers in a cataclysmic struggle against their rivals. However in the end, none proved strong enough and this struggle shattered the nations of old. Now a new group of pretenders has risen to power, each gathering disparate remnants of the old powers and forging them into new nations. And each determined that they will ascend to the throne of the pantokrator.


Summary

This game will use Elmokki's Randomocalypse mod to generate a random nation for each player. I will be the admin and will generate five nations for each player to choose from. The goal here is to not have players generating nations non-stop until they get an optimal one but also to provide some choice so people aren't forced to play a nation they really dislike.

After nations have been chosen I will put them together in one mod and the nation rosters will be posted (which you can of course also check just by firing up a test game with the combined mod). So, you will know your opposition when designing your pretender.

Other than using Randomocalypse I've gone with standard settings. But if there's a consensus to use a different map, have no a indies game (something I think could be interesting in combination with this mod), etc., I'm flexible.
