Aristander - you might be slightly cramped, but if we get as many players as I'd like the land nations will only have 15 provinces each anyway, and sea provinces are generally more valuable. I think it will probably be okay.

Shuma - Cool, I'll add you to the list. It's good you're happy with any nation, but go ahead and try to form an opinion if you can. I suppose I could pick for you, but chances are my tastes and your tastes differ a bit.

J Henry (is that what your friends call you?) - I'm a bit inclined to agree.

I reckon we should wait a little longer for more players. Probably more will turn up at the weekend if not before.

If Agartha is free, I'd love to take a slot. I'm more familiar with their simpler race than with the complexities of Shinuyama. I've already formulated a loose gameplan- nothing detailed, but better than Shinuyama, for whom I had ZERO late game ideas, and my starting strategy involved goblins dieing by the hundreds just to expand a few provinces.

Never played MP before, but have to start sometime. So count me in! Can I be Machaka?

I agree with J Henry re the Parganos map

Lazy Perfectionist, your heartwarming story about Shinuyama has convinced me to try them out! Hopefully goblins will be dying by the less-than-hundreds. Hopefully.

Would two or three of you like to volunteer to switch to the Chinchilla game, in which a few of the people who signed up appear to have gone AWOL? As an incentive it will probably be starting a little sooner than this game. Just post here, then there and upload a pretender ASAP. Note that you might have to/be able to switch nations - please check which ones have already been taken.

I'm hoping this game will fill up nicely at the weekend, recruitment generally seems to move a bit faster then.

Good to hear, Shuma. Always glad to hear my failures motivate someone else to success.

While I missed the occasion, Llamabeast just took down three Abyssian armies and their Pretender with Shinuyama after he took over for the stalled player in Jaguar. I have no idea how he did it, but I do know I'm jealous.

There is a Shinuyama strategy guide I can point you to if you're interested, but the original author of it hasn't been heard from this year.

I'd like to play as Jotunheim if I'm not too late.
