Default LA: Noobs and Strangeness (Running)

Game settings:

Age: LA
starting provinces:1
independent strength: 5
site frequency: 55
Money/resources/supply 100
random events: common
hall of fame: 15
standard research
Banned nations: Ermor, R'lyeh
Mods: CBM 1.6
max players 10

Map: Shahrivar. can be found here: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showp...4&postcount=33


Victory is concession or when one player owns the entire map.

Diplomacy is considered binding.

Hosting intervals will be 24 hours for the first 10 turns, 48 hours after that, 72 hours only if it becomes necessary.

Nations will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. (I pick Bogarus)

This game is generally just a game for noob to intermediate players, and you are encouraged to use a non-standard, strange, or just funny strategy rather than a practical one.
If you've thought up something weird or fun to do, but it wouldn't be competitive in a normal game, feel free to try it here. Markata thugs and such are welcome. If you are a noob-intermediate and just want some more experience in an LA game, feel free to come as you are.
vets may join as well, but a vet who joins MUST be using an oddball strategy, whereas noobs and intermediates can play how they like. I just don't want a vet or intermediate to come in here, play Ermor, and crush us all.(in fact, Ermor and R'lyeh are banned, just cause they aren't fun to fight. this game is about fun.)

Nations already claimed:
Bogarus - Melnorjr
C'tis - Viccio
Midgård - Quitti
Abysia - Juffos
Marignon - Alpine Joe
Patala - Maerlande
Agartha - Rtyffg
Pythium - Kietsensei
Ulm - Mardagg
Gath - Pelthin

viccio! glad to have you. C'tis is yours.

My apologies to your friend, but I mentioned in the opening post that I picked Bogarus already. I should have made it more clear rather than sticking that in the middle of a paragraph somewhere.

While I realize that I'm not a newbie, it'd be somewhat dubious to call me a "vet" since I don't seem to win any of my MP games (usually finish up to the top5), I'd like to join. Won't be doing a powerhouse build though, got some interesting ideas going on. So, if you are willing to take me into the game, I'd like to play Midgård.

Talking wacky builds, how many provinces per player are you planning? I've done some strange builds that need a bit of space to work. Tight maps are not good for them.

I'm thinking about 15 per player. I don't want to cramp everyone in too much because I realize that some oddball builds won't be able to compete too well in really early combat. If there is a clear preference though, I'm flexible here.

Quitti, Juffos, glad to have you. editing in your nation choices.

As long as you aren't using a classic build Juffos. I'm just a bit wary of your experience.

Heh, I want to see what Juffos cooks up... Also, could we go with a tad higher magic sites than 45? It'd be a bit easier for new players to get into magic business earlier that way, not to mention that there are all sorts of fun sites seeded around more that way. I don't mind either way, but it'd make the game a bit more fun (not to mention that those pesky air sites might even be found somewhere).

Hmm? didn't expect that, lol. I'm used to playing with sites as low as 20(another game I'm in and have been testing for), 45 feels like a lot to me, but that's just my conditioning to low sites.

55 agreeable?
I've no objections, and I suppose since we are using CBM 1.6, high sites might make up for no gem gens.

If somebody seconds your request, or if nobody objects by tomorrow, I'll change it.

55 is good, I could play even with the current 45 but setting them higher also encourages the newer players to spend the gems since they will be gaining some more of them, instead of stockpiling their meager incomes... I personally hate the extremely low sites (20-30) games, since magic is a very big part of dominions that I like to build stuff around.
