If it's still open I would like to play carrion/black centaurs aka pan.

I´m in as LA Atlantis

Also, maybe we'll change the map to Cradle of Dominion, for example?

Lavaere: Ah, knew I forgot something.

Cicadian: can you choose another nation? Marignon was picked the post right before yours.

Festin: Cradle of Dominions is fun, but I'd like the game to be a bit more...dynamic. Cradle is a great map, but it's more defense oriented: chokepoints everywhere, lots of terrain blocks to slow down expansion and movement, and it has edges, which means people starting closer to the sides have less territory they need to worry about and defend. The Desert Eye doesn't have as many terrain roadblocks, and the wraparound helps eliminate the advantages of having an edge on the map.

I mean I can change if it the overwhelming majority are in favor, but I'd like to try out a different map.

Also: If it's at all possible, I'd like to see Ermor and R'lyeh in the game. Both Ermor and R'lyeh because it thematically fits the "Cataclysm" theme, and R'lyeh so that Atlantis doesn't have a monopoly on the sea. It's just a suggestion though: I don't want to force anyone to take a nation they hate or don't want.

Ermor is somewhat shunned as far as multiplayer games go, either because they're played really well and can quickly become a powerhouse or they're quickly attacked because people know how much of a threat they can become.

R'lyeh for more or less the same reason is also rare however it is by no means as scary long term.

Anyhow, just saying you're not likely to see these nations played often.

Doesn't mean I can't suggest it.

Fantomen · #17 April 14th, 2009, 06:12 PM

Those are not very good nations for a noob game IMO.

Cicadian · #18 April 14th, 2009, 06:35 PM

Heh not entirely sure how I didn't see that post! In that case I'll take Tien Chi please

Well, we've got ten, so I think we can start deciding on the settings.

Anyone want any changes to them currently? Change of map? Difficult Research? Increased Magic Sites?

Frozen Lama · #20 April 14th, 2009, 09:12 PM

well I'm always a fan of increased magic sites, makes the game more interesting. oh and I rather don't like difficult research.
