Sounds fair.

Hey, if there is room for yet another newbie, I would like to take a shot in this game. I do not care about myrace in the slightest so I will take whatever is left over. Not water, though, as there is not much water on this map.

I note that Norfleet went and took Ermor already without posting in here. Is Broken Empire more balanced than either of the other two destructive themes ? Those other two seem heavily unbalanced to me. But then again, I am a newbie, currently playing on turn 6 in my first attempt at MP.

[archaeolept]

ermor is pretty strong, but broken empire is basically just a fairly normal nation. I'm not sure what's up w/ Norfleet - he uploaded a pretender before I had finished figuring out the game or starting the thread. I wouldn't say the two undead themes for ermor are terribly unblanced, but i'm a bit tired of them.

anyways, you're welcome to join. just pick a nation.

As far as my newb knowledge goes, AE and SG are pretty powerful, BUT certain anti-undead strategies cut through undead like a hot knife through butter, certain spells can destroy an entire undead army in one cast (provided you cast them before Protection of The Sepulcher kicks in, and even then...).
I'd say AE and SG are most unbalanced and overpowered against the AI...
But thats just me...

I'm in. I'll take Pythium.

[archaeolept]

Ozy: just so we get this a bit clear, since others are joining, I'll leave mict open (for tauren or whomever), play vanheim (i'd go w/ Man, but i'm playing them in my other game) and you get Man (which sounds like you're fine with).

so, currently:

Me: vanheim
Cainehill: Jotunheim
Agrajag: pangaia
Ozymandias: Man
Truper: Pythium
djtool: t'ien chi

Norfleet: ermor, but this could change as he claimed the slot before the rules were listed

Tauren: wanted mictlan, but w/drew, so mictlan is currently open.

What I've seen of BE Ermor their Principes are just as stout as Pythium's. Plus they have Body Ethereal pre-researched and only modestly priced Thaumaturgs, so early expansion ought to be pretty cheap. Aside from their excelent nether dart ability though, they are lacking in later magical potence. I may be underestimating the might of death and astral though.

[djtool]

i'll give tien chi a shot.

I'm going to take a spot, let me peek at what's left and I'll post it here (tonight).

Indie 9's, eh? wow
