Is that possible for me to enter this game as niefel?

Kailasa please.

As for the name, How about Tamarin?

Think I'll give Ulm a go.

I think I will go with Dolphin, since it wins the originality prize. I assume there are dolphins around South America. All other suggestions duly noted though, thanks!

Just as a general question, what size of games do people like? Myself I find big games exciting, but then later a bit daunting. Getting to the end of a smaller game seems a bit more feasible. So I reckon both kinds of games have their pros and cons.

If people prefer I can make this something like an 8 player game and start another game as an overflow. What do you think?

I'd like to see a large game with enough room for players to survive early game rushes. Crowded maps always seem to give positions like Arco and Caelum an advantage. They just crank out elephants. I was wiped out in Capybara by Arco. At one point I saw he had a 110 unit army which was mostly elephants.

In Armadillo, Caelum nailed me with elephants.

Ok, so what're we doing about the full 4th of the nations that seem to have lost interest after the first freaking turn of the game?

Ironic that AWIY posted his "blacklist" thread after he'd started multi-staling this game.

We can set them AI or just restart at this point I suppose, I doubt anyone's going to want to sub in at such a disadvantage.

Thoughts?

My vote is for restarting, but I'll keep playing if most others want to. Shall we keep the same nations? I still want to try this build....

Hey llamabeast, thanks for the hosting and most excellent scripting. If you are looking for improvements to put in I was thinking it'd be nice if the server sent you a notice if it rejected your turn for some reason. I'm playing two games on your server and I accidentally sent the wrong 2h file (grabbed it from the other game's directory)...didn't notice anything until I got the notice that I was about to stale.
