Please sign me up for this game; I've never played multiplayer before, and would like to give it a shot. I suppose I'll take a try with Machaka.

So, there are now five players in the game; I think we have room for a few more players, two or three or so.

On another note, what patch should this game use? I have most patches from 2.08 onwards on my computer, so I can use any patch; using the same patch as the host is needed to ensure that the battle replays aren't incorrect.

Alneyan, are you waiting for 10 players?

There is room for a couple more players, but I wouldn't expect to reach 10 players; seven or so would be enough. On another note, if someone would like to play a water nation (or if there are only five players), Desert Eye could be a better map: it also comes with the map, is also wrap-around, and has some sea provinces (and fewer land provinces than Inland).

If you have already made up your Pretenders, feel free to start sending them to me. They can be found in the newlords directory: if your nation is Ermor, the Pretender fille will be ermor.2h . My address is alneyan[AT]fastmail[DOT]co.uk (replace [AT] and [DOT] by @ and . respectively).

Alneyan, I am willing to sign up as a "seasoned" advisor.

Also I have a general question about your games: why do you run them as PBEM games, and not regular? If you need a server to host your games, I can provide it.

I am using version 2.16, so that is my preference.
