MP: Noobs, Vets, & AIs: An evolving concept for a new series.

[Septimius Severus]

It is good to hear from my former teammates on these matters.

Thanks rdonj, Ironhawk, and Grudgebringer for the progression suggestions. EA seems a good starting era, as is using custom gods incrementally.

Squirelloid is correct, I do need to discern interest before I set about the time consuming work of creating a map (which would take some time) but of course that is part of the purpose of this thread to "gauge interest and feasability".

I myself do love a good compstomp every now and then. We had many extremely talented and energetic noobs in NvV, I consider Squirreloid one of them, so AI players may not be much of a challenge to them. But for players such as myself, Grudge, brand new players, and those older players with the courage to admit it, whose skills aren't top rank, might benefit from and enjoy such a game. Who knows, I may even get my beat by the comp.

Since there are many other players who like myself jumped into MP without mastering SP, I may loosen the MP qualifications to 10 full games or less.

On my other game ideas, I am waiting for former noobs from all the games to get more experience under their belts before going for the alumni idea and the multiple mixed team idea which is also good will require plenty of available players and so I'd like to wait a bit.
