My thoughts exactly! Although this game was nearly filled up even before I had the chance to get out of bed, let alone check the forum :D (timezones..!)

It sure seems there's a lot of demand for newbie games. I hope people keep doing the good deed and suffering the frustration (?) of organizing such affairs. Have a good game everyone!

[Sephorin]

Thanks, Avari. I was thinking maybe Valerius could change us to a larger map to make room for more players like you, but that would probably be too complicated now that people have started making their pretenders. I'm sure Valerius would be willing to put you down for the next game that he starts, though. He's very kind.

This one did fill up quickly. Certainly part of it was that we started recruitment with three spots already taken, but still...

iRFNA and Avari, if you are interested I'll open up recruitment for a third game in the next day. You can already select your nations if you like.

[iRFNA]

Oh, cool, thanks!

If this is MA again, I'll do caelum. Nothing is scarier fragile, winged cannon fodder.

[Valerius]

Caelum's troops aren't very good (except at sieging) ... but you've got mammoths for squishing indies! And of course flight and cloud trapeze on your mages is very nice.

But yeah, we'll stick with MA. It's the most balanced era and I have the easiest time restraining my impulse to nerf everything I think overpowered.

[TaoCuathon]

there is no use nerfing things. game is complex enough to allow for super combos no matter what you do.

[Avari]

Thank you, I'm definitely interested in the upcoming game. I'll pick Ulm, even in the face of guaranteed mammothry ;) I know it's regarded as a weak nation by many, but I think I'll go for it anyway. Thanks again and see you in the new game's thread, I guess.

[Hylobius]

Wow that was a quick fill. I've been checking the forum a couple of times a day looking for a newbie game. Guess I need to check hourly

Please count me in if you start another.

Just wondering, when you say "all other settings default", does that mean no renaming commanders?
