Default MP Game -no Quickhost closed(Ret.of the Rejects)

Since there are no slots open on Mosehansen,I would be very happy,if someone could host my following game idea,if there are enough people who show their interest in this type of game...and I know there are a lot of people who want to start a new game ,but dislike all those Faerun games

"Desert Warriors"

Desert Eye
10-14 Players(lot of action therefore)
Independent Strength:7
Magic Sites:55
Normal Research/Resources
24h,NO Quickhost
Underwater Nations disabled
Only specific themes allowed for most nations
No other house rules

I would like to encourage people to try out something new in this game,especially the weakest considered themes of most nations,therefore the following restrictions are applied:

Abysia----only Blood of Humans allowed
Arcos-----only Golden Era
Caelum----only Return of the Raptors
C`tis-----only Desert Tombs or Miasma
Ermor-----only "normal"theme(Broken Empire I think)
Jotunheim---only standard theme,no Utgard and no Niefelheim
Man-------Last of Tuatha only
Marignon---Diabolical Faith and CotS only
Pangaea---Carrion Woods or New Era only
Pythium---Serpent theme only
Ulm-----Black Forest not allowed
Vanheim----only Hellheim
Mictlan---no themes,no restriction
Tien Chi---Spring&Autumn or Barbarian Kings only
Machaka----no restriction


I would like to try out Vanheim/Hellheim by the way.
Tell me,what you think about this idea.

If you find an host I'd play with Abysya.

If none will join the Forgotten Wars game on Mose in some days, I'll free the slot.

When you get a host, I'd be interested - there's several nations / themes I wouldn't mind, and this seems appealing.

heehee. Proving the worth of "weak" things in the game is my favorite thing to do. Sounds like fun. But I will hold off until you feel like you have filled all of the slots you can.

I'll host the game if you get enough players.

I'd even be willing to play as Iron Woods Jotunheim, which I think is actually better than Utgard and about as good as Niefelheim depending on the game situation.

Is Black Forest Ulm considered the strongest of the Ulm themes? I thought basic Ulm was considered strongest (although I am sort of getting the hang of BF...)

Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed

I'd be interested in Caelum until/if the game becomes overcrowded.

If you're interested, regardless of whether I play or not, I can also host this for you.....but my price, is, as always, that I get to give your game a snarky name!

Might I suggest "Blitz the Diplomat" or "Cohen the Steadfast" as suitably snarky names that might actually draw more players?

Default Re: MP Game - no Quickhost closed

now that we have already several players and 2 possible hosts,I decided to change the topic name
Player list so far(in order of appearance):

Cohen(Abysia)
Boron(Marignon)
Cainehill(Man)
Gandalf Parker(nation undecided)
Sheap(Jotunheim)
Reverend Zombie(C´tis)
Norfleet(Caelum)
Mark the Merciful(Mictlan)
djtool(Pangaea)

Mardagg(Vanheim)

As soon as we reach the 10 player mark,there will be another 24 hours for the game to be open to eventually reach the maximum of 14 players.
Thank you very much in advance to Sheap and Norfleet for offering to host the game.
Now the question arises,who wants/should host the game.
I know that Norfleet has hosted a lot of games before,so may I ask you Sheapo you have also
hosted some games before and thus have experience in doing so?
