That's even easier, everyone but Lanka, ME ermor, Mictlan,
Niefelhiem, and LE Agartha. And the Niefelhiem/Mictlan ones are very minor.

Shinuyama's little goblins are nerfed, what?

I didn't include them on the list because they were part of an across the board minor nerf to bows. And note that all the other the other little goblin troops were boosted.

their already very poor morale has been lowered as well (to 7) - as well as for the bandit archers. giving a minor boost to completely useless troops while nerfing the pretty well only worthwhile cheap buys does not balance out. Just saying, your list is incomplete, and I'd have to wonder how many other nations are missing from it.

Sauromatia, please.

Yeah, you are probably right, those were just the nations that jumped to mind, probably because the ones I mentioned were the only ones nerfed for inter-nation balance. Any other nerfs are very minor ones simply to promote a variety of troops being built for each nation, and in almost all such cases I think the nation as a whole remains stronger than in base game.

Sign up is now closed, and the game will have 11 players.I am determining a good map to use right now. Suggestions are welomce for an approximatly 165 province map, that is balanced for multiplayer.

We will use Twan's version of the Urraparrand map. It can be found here.

The Urraparrand maps seem fairly balanced, with terain types equally dispersed through out the map. Twan's edition should allow for more freedom of movement.

Lets try to get the pretenders in by Wednesday. Llamabeast can you start us up.

Sir_Dr_D:

Just make sure starting locations are hand picked. I made my first MP newbie game on unmodified Uraparrand and starting positions were extremely unfair. Especially with that 1 isolated island that should not exist at all.
