Scourge of Nations

[Awund]

If it's still possible, I'd like to join this game. It would be my first multiplayer game, although I've played multiple games in SP and have been reading these forums for a while.

[Galou]

It's ok Awund.

You got Man.

[zegc-ben]

I would like to join too. The victory condition is a nice idea.

[Galou]

Ok,you are Bogarus

[Corinthian]

I would also like to try my hand in this. Not very experieced with late age, so the fact that the nations are random does not mater. As long as I get an hour to practice befor i submit a pretender, i will be fine.

[Galou]

Corinthian, you got Agartha.

12 players, that's fine. Recrutment is over. I will create the game on the Llamaserver at the beginning of the week. Until then, try your pretenders and help me choose a map.
Galadia, Urraparrand and IcyUrraparand appeal me (but the two last clearly advantage Caelum/flying units) or maybe Alexander. If everybody don't mind I think I will choose Galadia.

I have never played on it but isn't Galadia a bit too big with 14.75 land provinces by player plus 40 water provinces ?

And another small question : what would you think of using the latest CBM (1.7 instead of 1.6) ?

[Galou]

For CBM 1.7, I don't like the hammer made unique especially as we play in LA (less gems).
But I didn't try it yet, just looked at the changes.

I don't know what is the average provinces/player here but i used to play within 15-20 range and often wars begin before turn 20 (I played mostly with mad men, some of them are there: Danakh, Brazouck, Olive, Narushima but don't worry, we couldn't stand each other). 15 provinces are not too much IMHO.

[zegc-ben]

I haven't played much MP yet but it seems that here the average provinces/player is lower (10-15 maybe ?) so I guess 15 is just the right number .

I have no opinion about what version of cbm to take (in fact I even think my stategy will be better with 1.6), I just felt the question had to be asked.

[Brazouck]

15-20 gold is good, especially with indep at 8 IMHO
