Wow...Reverend Zombie still playing...there's an old timer!

Also, Will this map be without sites? I see some of the Alexandria maps roll that way.

Pythium doesn't have a LA version, do they?

They do. It's called the Serpent Cult. You're thinking of Machaka.

I stand corrected.

Marignon, please.

This sounds ambitious and entertaining. I was thinking about another joining another game, and this sounds like a good one. I'm in with T'ien Ch'i.

What are the other settings, like magic site frequency and indie strength?

Pretty much. However, most people take play it game-to-game. I personally don't try to keep track of who has been untrustworthy in other games.

Just so we are all on the same page then, trade agreements are binding but any diplomatic agreement is only valid as long as it is mutually beneficial to both players.

Or to put it another way:-

If you have a NAP-3 agreement with an adjacent nation, it is worthless to you apart from your own assesment of how likely it is that the agreement will be honoured and you really should never expect to receive any warning that the NAP is about to end or even start for that matter.

I don't have any problem with that as long as everyone understands. Whatever goes on in this game should stay in this game. It might be worth making that clear in the opening post.

danbo, yes there is still room.

shunwick, trade agreements are another form of diplomacy. As for what happens in-game stays in-game is close to my own personal philosophy on the subject. Still, the point is that I'm not going to enforce any agreements made. For me, doing so turns a game from a game to actual work.

As far as I'm concern all the other settings are normal. So there should be magic sites for the lucky and vigilant. Indy strength 5 and all that other jazz.

Alright. We have 18 players, which is my cut off point. Upload your pretenders and we will get a move on this game.
