Nation selection, I really think in a mega longterm game like this a player should get a nation they really, really want to play. How about everyone gives a top 5 in order of preference?

I agree it would be nice to give people what they want - but even if people gave me a top 5 or top 10 its pretty likely that with 60 players a number of players still wouldn't get the nation on their list.

Patching causes alot of hassle, especially with new players, also it looks like its going to be a pretty big patch so everyone will be keen to use it. Having the 2 new nations will be fun too. So I say wait for the patch. It will probably take some getting going, a game like this anyway.

I wouldn't mind waiting for the next patch if it is going to come out in the next 2 weeks or so. I'm not going to wait a month+ however. Anyone have any rumors on when it is coming?

Finally, what if the game does not fill up ie... all 60 nations or not taken? Leave them out or have them in as AI?

Probably put them on hardest or second to hardest AI.

I'd suggest to use a wraparound map, but I know that it might be a problem to get such a large map for so many players...
