Any Interest in another Big Game this summer(May).

Hadrian: Why did you ban LA Pan from taking turmoil, they don't get maendads.

Because I only play the MA, and made a mistake

[Salamander8]

I'm definitely in.

If its May/June'ish I should hopefully have time to play at least 1 game and I may as well play a megagame if it gets going!

The last one was awesome, even if I did not last 30 turns!

I believe many new/intermediate players lasted a long time in the game, either by allying with a large power or just got ignored. So if you have not got much MP experience do not be put off.

The most important thing to get right is the victory conditions, 60 players with 15 provinces per player is 900 provinces. So in the end game the few remaining empires will have 100 - 200 province empires, its not fun to run a empire that size for more than a dozen turns or so. Just takes too much real life time. Need a way too bring the game to a satisfactory conclusion.

I was one of these players that made it to the time we called it. The combo of being a water nation in the corner along with a fair amount of diplomacy is most likely why I survived and I was actually quite happy with my position when we called it.

And I concur with Meglobob's stance on being a new player for these megagames. Join up and have a blast with us in such a monster game!

There were definitely some smaller empires of new players that lasted a long time because they were ignored as veteran players went after each other(theory of eliminating the bigger threat 1st).

I would be interested, in case it will be PBEM

Unless something comes up by then I'm in.

I'm sure you could find out who the "hardcore" and "casual" gamers are by checking the Victorious Nations/Hall of Honor thread? But I digress!

I would love to join in on this game, no matter when it starts.

The HOF will be the reference guide. I did have that in mind.
And some players, like Hadrian, who have played in many games, but have not got a lucky break and won one, will not get the
"hardcore player" penalty.

And the penalty is not that severe-it just means if you tie on a selection with a newer or casual player, you will not get to roll him for the race. The hardcore player may have lost the roll in any event.

In the last Mega Age game there were some good races that no one picked, like Vanheim prenerf.

I'm in.
