davegg - Unfortunately I forgot to list the game as full when it got full. But I will put you as a reserve, which actually means you have a fair chance of being in the game I think, particularly as I've listed Aethyr without him actually saying he'll play!

Okay guys, you can now start uploading your pretenders. Here's how:

- Go to Game Tools -> Create a pretender god in Dominions
- Go to the savedgames/newlords folder in the dominions directory, and find your pretender file (e.g. mid_pythium_0.2h)
- E-mail the file to: pretenders[ at ]llamaserver[ dot ]net
- Crucially, you must have the game name, 'Chupacabra', in the subject line of your e-mail. Watch the spelling!

Deadline late Monday night (US time)(not that I'm from the US, it's just a convenient way of saying the time I mean).

Thanks for your inital response, and for kindly saving me a spot--much appreciated. I'm in, and I'll be playing T'ien Ch'i.

Okay leave me off the starting lineup then ; )

Thanks, sorry about that GE. It's a compliment though.

Okay guys, I have been working all morning on a modified version of Parganos. A common complaint with Parganos was that the terrain types were too clustered - one player might have exclusively farmland, another only wastelands. I've changed the terrain types a lot to be much fairer (wasteland and farmland aren't marked anyway so that's easy, and most of the mountains have been changed to border mountains).

Now, there's definitely space for a water player on Parganos. Also I've already spent some time for Mara on choosing start positions for 7 land + 1 water player. Does anyone fancy switching to a water nation? No worries if not.

Oh, and good stuff Aethyr, glad to have you.

So really noone wants to change to a water nation? Think of the power!

Otherwise I will make the seas less valuable by setting them all to "deep sea" and "small province". Agartha will still have a bit of an edge, but probably not a huge one.

One day I'll create a practical pretender. A simple awakened Risen Oracle or something like that. Until that day comes, however, I'll be trying out various experimental pretenders on you guys. Here's hoping it works, sort of.
