Initiative: EA game. "Grow that Nub!"
 

Here is the game link.

This is an early age game with a more relaxed pace- we'll start at 36h/turn then quickly move to 48h or more once year two arrives. Players are expected to be a mix of newbs, intermediate and more experienced players. There aren't a lot of Vets playing on these boards but we'd ask you to kindly excuse yourself from playing in this game if you consider yourself a veteran.


This game is meant to launch the one Parone referred to in this post. In the interest of getting Parone’s game started, I took it upon myself to co-administer with him and to get the settings published. I assume this is fine with Parone but if its not, then we can arrange something.

House rules:
Usual stuff, common sense applies here. No bogus orders, no lab-flooding or invisi-sieges, etc. If newer players have any questions about this section, they should mention their concerns. Note that with this mod the free ettins should not be a concern (thank you Shard for your insightful and much appreciated comment)


IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEWER PLAYERS: please DO NOT set yourself to AI without prior approval. if for whatever reason you're unable or unwilling to continue playing, either find a sub or just make a post in this thread saying you have to bow out - it takes the same amount of time, and prevents the rest of the community from hating you forever.

Just to let you know: I would like to play Machaka, but I dont have time.

Re: Initiative: EA game for newbs, intermediates, experienced but not hard-core vets
 

Its an EA game...

(first time i ever faced you you were playing Machaka. I tried to sue for peace and you didn't go for it. We were both really newbs then though.)

Might need to edit that to reflect EA.

Claiming Vanheim.

Edit: Actually, are water nations allowed? If so I'll take Rl'yeh instead.

Re: Initiative: EA game for newbs, intermediates, experienced but not hard-core vets
 

C'tis please.

Re: Initiative: EA game for newbs, intermediates, experienced but not hard-core vets
 

Sue for peace? You were attacking relentlessly over that isthmus with your hydras. I think you meant to say you were trying to enforce peace where I would not exist at all :D

However, unlike you, I am noob still. But, it says MA in the OP.

Well have good game!

Re: Initiative: EA game for newbs, intermediates, experienced but not hard-core vets
 

I like the settings!

Umm, I'll join, probably as Mictlan.

@HoleyDooley and Anaconda regarding age of the era:
...Doh! sorry.

@Anaconda regarding peace and experience:
I don't consider you a newb anymore... its impossible. You've played more than 8+ games i am sure.

@Tratorix:
I got you down as R'leyh...

Re: Initiative: EA game for newbs, intermediates, experienced but not hard-core vets
 

Thanks. Also, a "watch out" for Mictlan and none for Lanka? Someones getting an early start on diplomacy here. ;)
