EA Hellscapes(Play!)

Hosting interval: Initially 24 hours, 48 at Turn 20, 72 at 50
Age: Early
Graphs: On
Settings: Default except for renaming on, Magic Site at 55% (+10%, which tends to mean that people generally get the gem types they need)
Mods: None (non-negotiable)
Map: 10 land provinces per person. Basically, it is a little larger than Medium Random(learned my lesson from DarkParadise). I'll generate a few and choose home provinces that don't suck.
Players: 8+ (I'll close once 8+ is reached)
Rules: Anything goes. Unless you are hacking files or spamming email/mail, any tactic allowed by the game is considered fair game.

Exception: If you make a Pact with someone, record it in the game thread with the Turn (and record when you end it). If you don't want to record it for any reason (eg. secret pact), then there shouldn't be any complaining about pact-breakers in the game thread.

[archaeolept]

i'll try the new guys... hinnom... though i am extremely rusty and barely know what a spell is

[K]

That's fine. Baalz's strategy guide on them is pretty comprehensive (and he did just school me with Hinnon in the last game).

[Executor]

Hinnom chosen so soon...
Niefelheim for me.

[archaeolept]

heh, they have some ok troops ;p

i like the look of those chariots

[Deadnature]

sign me up for Pangea if you don't mind

[Executor]

I like them more because of all the magic paths they have, and the horrors they easily send, and dawn guards and many many other thing, but like the Neifels also!

[Lingchih]

Wow, Lanka, Hinnom, Nief. Nothing but heavy hitters. I guess you guys don't like a challenge, eh?

[archaeolept]

hey, still some hvy hitters left... mictlan, helheim... sauromatia is no slouch

hopefully there are 8 of them

mind you, I haven't actually played an MP game in EA (other than a blitz today), but it looks like it has no lack of power nations

[PsiSoldier]

Never done MP before but I'll join with Mictlan, though Ive never played them before my current Single player game right now.. but my favs have already been picked =/

Unless we can have underwater nations in which case I suppose I'd choose R'lyeh since it may be good to have some extra breathing room for my first MP game.
