I'm game. I'll take T'ien Ch'i since they're about the only EA nation I'm really familiar with at this point. The Sharivar map seems fine, as well as all the game settings you propose. I am still in the process of playing through my first MP game so I can't speak from experience but based on what I've read in the forums, the victory condition should either be "Hold X capitals for Y turns" or "Hold X victory point provinces for Y turns". Doing that causes the game to be decided before too many people are eliminated or go AI, which is certainly desirable.

The other game I'm playing has 8 players and victory is from holding 4 capitals for 3 turns. That seems to be working out there so I'm suggesting that here as well.

[Jiggymike]

Hey Morla, I dropped out of that other game (it hadn't started) but I'd rather play in yours. I'd like EA Acroscephale. I'm cool with either type of victory condition.

[Morla]

nice¡¡¡, i´ll go with NIEFELHEIM. Ok holding 4 capitals for 3 turns seems good.

[Six]

Sign me up as Mictlan then.

I'd also vote for the x caps for 3 turns.

The map looks cool, but isn't it slightly on the big side at 180 provinces? I guess it depends on how many people join. Either way though, I'd give it a shot.

Also, what about hosting schedule?

[Morla]

hmmm, maybe ulm

[Excist]

I'll play as Agartha

[Morla]

nice, we are 5 players, few to go.

hosting schedule?quickhost? i'd like to play the first turns in a quick way in dom3minions, and then change to 24 hours, if we can manage to be together for a few hours. if not, 24 hours quick host.

"How often will it host? Quickturn (as soon as all player files are turned in)? 24 hours whether the turns are in or not? Both? (all files or 24 hours whichever happens first)? Host set for specific days and times? automatic pause day (hosting time paused on Sunday)? The default on my server is for Quick, or 24-hours timed-out. But that can be changed."

Six- i accept map suggestions, good balanced maps for 8 players?

[Mightypeon]

Can I still join in? I would like to play Sauromatia.

[Morla]

Mightypeon, of course. Welcome
