Damn, I seem to have chosen the weakest nation, I thought they'd be interesting to play with, I've never taken them before, but I tested them a little home, and MAN DO THEY SUCK,
I'll take back Ermor if it's not too late...
PLEASE!!!

Cicadian, sorry I didn't mention it.. but I wanna be pythium myself.. I wanted to be them in the megagame but i was to late.. so I decided to create this to play pythium.

You are welcome to play another nation though.

I'm thinking 24h first turns later 48.. the switch between 24-48 will depend on how we are doing.. I'd rather not see it happen to fast.

I won't do a 30 hour quickhost but I'm always willing to do some extensions if needed.

Aezeal: Is this game full? If it isn't, I can play. I don't which of the remaining nations I would like to have but I'll take a look at them.

Also, this game definitely needs VP victory condition because noone will have the endurance to fight till the very end in game of this size.

I'd like to join this game if there's still a slot free. I'll take any nation that's left.

I won't be joining after all - so I guess that frees up a spot.

VP meaning provinces that provide points? I'm playing a game with one province that everybody fights over, and I'm pretty tired of it... but presumably there are various ways to do it, other than that.

I would totally play to the end in a straight battle without VP. I mean if I survived that long.

Yes, by VP I meant Victory Points of which you need to control a certain amount in order to win the game.
I have played in games which had multiple VPs on the map and I can say from my experience that VP games are more interesting than normal ones because there's a tangible objective for the game.

If Aezeal decides to go with VPs, I recommend the following setup regarding the amount of VPs:
1) 2x the number of players. Randomly assigned on the map and need to control ~40% of the VPs in order to win.

or

2) One VP in each capital and none in the regular provinces. 40% of the VPs required for the win.

Bananadine: I can certainly see several reasons for a player getting frustrated in game that has only one VP on the map but those reasons are indeed due to game settings rather than VPs in general as a victory condition.

Id rather not play VPs, if its alright. We can, but it skews gameplay a bit.
