MP: Asia Twist - Wraithlord Wins!

[PashaDawg]

Sorry for the delay. I have everyone's picks, but we need one more player. I thought there were 15 land starts, but there are 16. I hope to get out the nation assignments by Wednesday.

I have also done 5 test games to check out the capital resource averages of the various starting positions. I will tweak the map file to add some mines to balance things a bit better. Japan, Korea, and the other island starting positions will get the primary boosts. (If anyone is especially interested in helping me find the right balance, let me know.)

Sold to the fish! Welcome, mscfish!

Please PM me with your email and your top 5 nation choices (middle era).

[PashaDawg]

Nation assignments are posted in the first post of the thread.

[PashaDawg]

DonCorazon has decided to switch to Pangaea. (Nation assignments are just to avoid a first-come / first-serve taking of nations. Players are welcome to switch or trade nations.)

"I am happy to report that most players got their first or second choice."

But I didn't? You suck, Pasha.

Also, Meglobob gets Ashdod? That... that has to be bad news.

[WraithLord]

Hey, I also wanted Ashdod. Probably wasn't the only one as well.

Meglobob, better hope that luck holds in game, now that everyone considers Ashdod uber

[DonCorazon]

Bookies in Vegas have Ashdod at 20:1 to win. No pressure Meglobob, no pressure.

PS Ryleh was my first choice - I had hoped the sea would hide me from Ashdod. At least with Pangea, I will be stealthed so Ashdod can't find me on land

(slight tone of humorous exaggeration should be noted here)

[WraithLord]

Ask Atul how well taking R'lyeh to stay away from Ashdod worked for him. In RAND II that is.

[PashaDawg]

At least 3 players wanted Ashdod, and about 3 wanted R'lyeh. Only 1 wanted Oceania.
