I could be able to host a game at work, but that would only last one and a half month before it has to be moved to a new server. But I would need an other code for dominions. And the game will have to be TCP/IP.

Anything that makes national troops more prevalent, more useful, and more bettererer is a good thing, IMHO!

No magic research at all. Just national and 0 level spell.

Is it even possible to limit spell levels? That could be very interesting.

Well.. you could leave score graphs on and watch for changes on the research graph to detect the savage cheaters... another house rule. I'm not sure eliminating magic would make for an interesting game, though. And wouldn't undead be ridiculously unbalanced?

either outlaw them or just laugh at the fact that they will have very few people to command them (and all the fancy magic they can stuff on their pretender goes to waste)

AE Ermor with good scales? *shudder* eh, it probably sucks. Are there even any pretenders that start with enough Death to summon their big mage? If there is, then they have no problem summoning commanders. House rules usually feel icky to me in most other games. Usually they seem to unbalance things to the point where even more house rules are necessary. Witness Emporer in Online M:TG... ugh.

I'm still new enough at this game to where even the default settings are exciting; I can understand why expert players are looking for new challenges, though. What does everyone think of Chandrea4? It's small enough to where the game should move along, and with low magic the independent trinkets should be fun to find. I am WAY too inexperienced to suggest a head-to-head team game unless there are many to each side.

Well, I'm likely to go with whatever Ironhawk chooses if he still wishes to host.

I'm in a game on Chandrea now. It's a neat map but very small and not particularly forgiving if you get a poor starting spot. Lots of indies are downright nasty with multiple spellcasters (Lizard Shaman and Cursing comes to mind!) with items and bodyguards.

I'll play anything. I really don't care. I just want to play.
