Rumors are cool!

Just no mention of your personal forces. You shouldn't say "I am at war with Ermor." Although you can give a screenshot of the map where Ermor is seiging your capital.

Neutral factions are going like hotcakes!!

Maybe we should allow 3 Neutrals? It's just that I am actually worried about Evil. They should be an unstoppable hoard in the beginning. 8 v 7 is actually not that bad of odds, especially if 3 of the 7 are super-factions with bonuses in the beginning like Iron Mines.

Maybe adding more neutrals and making them rumor mills? Like it tends to be going? Maybe giving them a little less gold (like 1000?) Just an idea. If you had 3 of them instead of 2 that may make it more balanced for both sides? So even if people cannot communicate they can get hints and rumors from the neutral players, so they would have value of traders historically. Passing along some hint of how the world is going? And maybe all players could use vague AAR's in the thread to make it interesting? Just some ideas.

I will go with EA - Tir Na Nog, as they seem to be about as pure as it gets. No Blood or Death if I recall, but sneaky buggers, nevertheless. I am flexible though, so if any of The League of Justice think we need something else for the team, just PM me.

Looks fun, thanks for organizing CU!

Just want to make sure: Multi-path death spells are okay for the good guys so long as no death gems are used right? Vengeance of the Dead comes to mind. Doesn't seem like the nicest thing to do, but I think thematic arguments can be made both ways.

"punishing the evil for killing the innocent"
Even though im an evil player, this one sounds ok to me. Thematic and doesnt technically use death gems, though you might have to if you are going to empower...

Ok, first problem. I tried to upload my pretender...and it didnt work.
First I got to the page, and it showed all the options for All nations mod, but then when i tried to scroll down it kept jumping me to the top of the list, so I couldnt get to MA abysia. I then restarted my client and tried again, and now it only shows EA nations. Help?

I think I will try EA Lanka this time, never played this nation, but should be fun by the looks of it.

I think cradle map is a bit too small, maybe a wraparound map would be better.
