Hmm, mods. Does that mean that I have to remake my pretender? I kind of liked Destroyer and Persecutor of Youth!

[Amhazair]

That is, indeed, a fun name

You'll want confirmation from the guys in the know, since I'm computerilliterate, but I seem to remember having been told that those specific mods have no influence on pretender creation, so you can keep your decrepit old god.

Amhazair is right, you don't need the mods when making pretenders.

Pretty much the only mod which does affect pretender design is the Conceptual Balance mod.

Okay, I've decided I can form no real preference between Jotunheim and Atlantis. So, we have Man, Jotunheim, Atlantis and Oceania between me, Fal, zakna and Jazzepi. I will take whichever of Jotunheim and Atlantis someone doesn't choose first.

[Jazzepi]

Okay. I'll go ahead and play man Let me make up a pretender and mail it in.

Just so people know how fast to design their pretenders and so on, I would really like to get this game started by Thursday (or before of course, if everyone ends up being quick).

[Sandman]

Having reconsidered my time constraints, I'm going to have to drop out of this game. Sorry! T'ien Ch'i is now up for grabs.

[llamabeast]

Okay, no worries Sandman. We now have one free slot then.

Last night I tried out this map with my pretender and all 22 players. I was crowded in a corner and only managed to grab 5 provinces before being boxed in. I suspect that some players will have it as bad as I did, while others will get lucky with significantly better expansion opportunites.

Since Tien Chi bowed out, we might want to consider limiting the game to at most 21 players to slightly limit the crowding.

[llamabeast]

I'm easy either way. You're probably right actually, but there is something exciting about getting all 22 nations in. Anyway, if other people think I should close the game at 21 players, I'm happy to do that.
