oh yeah, forgot this was MA

so ugh, I guess Pythium, Ermor, Jotunheim and ugh... MA is more balanced than EA as far as nations go... so not all that sure which nations should probably not be in the hands of decent people.

No specific start date. The map has 378 land provinces. So 20 land players would be about 18 provs each which is a large game. Id hate to start it with less, and dont want to have more than half the nations be AI.

Im abit spoiled by other forums where games fill in about an hour

I'd like to take C'tis, and yes, I realize this could get interesting depending who I get stacked anywhere near.

But they're the MA nation I'm by far most experienced with, and quite fun if you don't mind miasma upsetting people.

yeah, under these settings Miasma isn't as big of an issue, as you can only really upset 2 neighbors at once, so worst case scenario you'll be fighting 1v2, nowhere near as harsh as a 3-4 nation gang bang that sometimes happens to MA C'tis on larger games due to the Miasma effect.

They're still a bit iffy in the early game, before they can get their death gems (and those sexy, sexy couatls) rolling, and before they have the defensive depth to roll with the punches and let their dominion wear you down. But yes, I'd be leery of my first more-than-two-player Dom3 game EVER being the swamp lizards if it weren't a tower. If I start next to one of the giants, some rapid reevaluation may be in order.

That or a summary execution. Given that I'm spoiled for death mages, maybe not in that order.

My dear Tonno... we are noob, right... but not that noob that we can't defeat independents who are just waiting to be slaughtered.

By the way, I am running a test game, I have the feeling that with such settings we also get more events like vampire counts and barbarian hordes popping up, am I right?

I would like to join. This will be my first MP game. Please select a nation at random for me. Thanks.

Noobs can kill them. Carefully.
But it is also a no-ganging, no rushing game.
