MP: 'Stillborn Noobs' Running

[bbz]

Well a suggestion for a map would be sixlands. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=36830
I just checked two other 6 player games and they seemed to use that map but there are no water provinces. I could dig a bit further to find a prettier map.(there is one I saw called the blessed Island but its with only 75(12.5) for 6 players and only 11 water provinces so basically) what is usually player is 15 provinces per person so we need to find a map with 90+ provinces.

Edit: for four players we could use this one

or this one is really pretty but its small 12.5 provinces a player

and another 4 players map

for a team game 2v2 this one looks nice

Here is the thread where I found blessed Island one and it seems perfect for 5 people

Btw I would like to play as Kailasa.

Could I ask you a question why there is no love for the other nations?(the ones that we are not allowed to play with)

[bbz]

Hmm actually I had a slight change of heart. I really want to develop one strategy but it is with MA Bandar Log. So count me out of the game.I hope I did help with the map choice.

[desvolack]

so, I am still totally down for vanheim. how many committed players do we have so far?

[bbz]

well its only you I'm sorry to say. So just look for another game.

[marcelteaching]

Desvolack, if you are still in, you have dibbs for Vanheim. Can you just repost to confirm you are still in? Same goes for BBZ,now that Bandar Log is available.

OK, I am interested in this. I like the idea of teams.

I've played 3 MP games, going to the end in 2 of them (found a sub in the other). So I guess I am a semi-experienced noob.

Map: I suggest Streamlands. Hopefully someone has submitted a fixed version, there were a few missing connections.

I'm about to be moving to a new house so there may be days I just can not get a turn in. But usually I should be able to turn around pretty quick.

Have not thought about nation at all. Should we wait to see how the teams shake out and then figure out complementary builds? Or pre-select nations and then just deal with the luck of the draw? Perhaps the latter is best since otherwise it could take weeks of wrangling

I will look at the MA and figure out a nation this evening.

[marcelteaching]

Aaminoff, sounds interesting - complementary builds sounds the most interesting to me. Also, a team buddy might be able to sub for you when there is an issue (this goes for all), which is another good thing about teams.

Let's go with streamlands for now then, pending an investigation as to whether the links are fixed.. We will start up when we are all happy, we could even add more players if we had a consensus to do so when we have 4, and add a third 'team' or even a fourth. Let's see how these things pan out and what the others think when they join.

Well, guess I'll sign up for this one again. I'm more in the experienced newb category as well, but I still kinda suck, so it should work out fine. The only suggestion I have is to make the turn timer at least 36 hours. 24 is cutting it pretty fine and will probably result in staling early on, which can set someone at a huge disadvantage in the early game.
