Well, the values Panther proposed were made to make those items too expensive I believe, hence the 5W. I have no objections to lowering it to 4W however, with perhaps another path thrown in for good measure.

I have no opinion on Soul Contracts, simply because I have never seen them hoarded, but they seem to be quite a bargain for their price (if left alone for a while). How more expensive would you make them?

- Should water nations be kept out of the game?
I don't care too much either way. Depends on the map, of course.

- For the victory condition, should it be "full control" of half the capitals, or would "being besieged" be enough?
I'd vote for full control.

I'd like to play, if there is room.

I think a small map is critical for a game like this.

Are themes being randomized as well, or is no one being forced into Iron Faith, etc

There is still some room, so welcome aboard Rabelais!

I like the idea of enforced themes, but it would be difficult to check. I could check the starting sites on turn 1, and give the location of all the capitals, or the first turn could be sent to a third party for a quick check. "Hey, lucky you, you got Caelum in the random picks... Too bad I rolled heads, and you end up with the Raptors theme."

I vote for control of the capital and no water nations.
Forced themes would be cool as well (Tien Chi Barbarians).

Welcome aboard Turms!

There is still one spot open for a player, and we will have a full house.

I would prefer not using randomized themes, for I intend to pick a theme I have never played after being assigned a race.

As for the clams, 4W1S is good. At least that means you might build a couple of them as the cost is not totally prohibitive.
