Common random events, please.

Random locations or not, all the same really. At least nobody will start out on the islands in a random location game, because they are all #nostart provinces. I don't know if Mose's server applies the #specstart provisions of the map file automatically, if it does, we will have fixed, if not, ah well...

And if it is indeed a random start game, one water nation and a couple of land nations missing won't be that bad. I'm looking forward to getting stomped as Vanheim...

Edi

As Edi, I think common events would be best.

I believe mosehansen defaults to using fixed starting positions (at least that's what happened with Boron's newbiegame3).

We are now just missing 3: Atlantis, Pangaea and C'tis. I'm ambivalent on filling those with AIs, but if we do have AIs, then they should be set to impossible. Hard AIs are still quite easy to defeat, and the victor gains the gold and gem income from the capital, which is quite a benefit.

I'd also be in favor of common random events

I'd prefer the fixed positions and common randoms as well.

Since we are so close to full I'd say let's wait a bit, but if others are chomping at the bit I don't mind starting.

It would be great to fill the C'tis position - I think that fills the biggest blank spot, but I also don't mind starting.

I have no opinion on any of this being to new to even vaguely know the map. If the starting positions are fix, if anyone has advice onm mine i'll take it, but if not trial by fire is cool too. BURN THE WITCH!

If it's still open when I get home, I'll take c'tis. I don't care for them much, but I just got my butt kicked and I need a new game. Which Faerun map is it... faerun large or faerun small?

It's the large Faerun map.

We will start once Lingchih uploads a pretender with impossible AIs for whatever nations are left unfilled.

If y'all have a plan to move towards 48QH at a reasonable turn, I'll come in as Pangaea.

Well if you don´t mind to take a newbie, playing his first multiplayer game, I´d take atlantis.
I beat the demo vs 5 difficult ais in 40 turns though, so I at least know how to move armies .

Well I uploaded my pretender. Hope it will be a fun game.
