MP: Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full]

[Firewalker]

Not many new games starting up lately, and I have a hankering to play an EA nation. General idea here is for players who have a couple/few games under their belt but are still learning (as I am). If some intermediate players want to jump in, that's fine too. We'll see how many game-less players are milling about.

Mists of Time
Host: Llamaserver
Era: Early
Map: TBD (20 provinces/player)
Mods: CBM 1.5. Streamers & Standards.
Players: 10-24
Special Sites: 50
Score graphs: off
Research: Difficult
HoF: 10, 15 if we have more than 20 players
Victory: Capitol VPs, 10 of 24 wins.
Rest: Default

Hosting: The game will be hosted on Llamaserver, an automated PBEM service. For those who are new to Llamaserver, the FAQ explains how it works.

Mods: We'll be playing with Conceptual Balance Mod v1.5 and Streamers and Standards. CBM is basically a bunch of tweaks to units, spells, and magic items to make it more attractive to players try to use more of the options that are in the game. It's been in development for quite some time and improves the game on many levels.

Streamers & Standards is a cosmetic mod that greatly improves on the banner icons used for the various nations.

The pace of the game will be (barring extensions granted):

Turn 1-20: 24hrs
Turn 21-40: 48hrs
Turn 41+: 72hrs

I'm not a fan of rush games, as life usually has other things to worry about as well. Nor do I deny extensions that players need. Its a game, not a job. On the other hand, 2 stales in a row with no communication is a forfeit.

If we lose a player due to forfeit or resignation, we'll take a few days to a week to find a new player before setting the position to AI.

Nation Selection: Post 3 choices. If more than one player requests the same nation in a given round of assignment, I will roll dice to make the selection. If you lose the roll, your next choice will be used for the next round of assignments, etc. If one or more players fail to get one of their three choices, they submit three again of what's left. Since I'm the guy with the dice, I will pick from what's left after three rounds.
