I’ve never played MP at all, but I’d be up for something like this.
If you need more to fill a team, I would be interested. Let the others fill the team first, though :).
Well, so far your in Kelan!
I’m thinking maybe a team of 4-5 players versus 2-3 AI teams of a similar size, so maybe all told 15-16 civilizations on the map.
I’d love to do a game set in the Middle Era, and see how Asphodel works as a disciple (no pop killing domain, no blood, but I still get my favorite light cavalry and archers!).
So, if we can get 1-2 more players, we can get this disciple game going.
Also, if this works, we’ll probably use the All Nations Map - Middle Age 1.0 found in the steam workshop. That will make it easy for everyone and should give us 20 provinces per person.
Or Conquest of the Pankor System. That one looks fun.
I’m gone this weekend, but could take part after that.
Sure, I figured it would take a few days to organize it all.
Announcing a Multiplayer Game - Compstomp through the worlds!
To sign up, please give me the nation you would like to play, and whether you would prefer to be the pretender or the disciple. Since this is a disciple game, I assume that selections will change as more and more players show up, so be flexible. This game is for all skill levels, but anyone that has never played an MP game, this is probably going to be a great jumping off point. If we can get a few players with experion that are willing to give a hand and advice, that would be great.
Also, if you want to try something crazy, that might be okay, but we do plan on winning this game (Difficult AI isn’t difficult, but it’s different from regular players).
Also, I’ll update the game settings as necessary.

My $.02: For a coop game, I would play it on Mighty AI, unless it’s literally the first game for the players.
Probably a good idea.
Hey @legowarrior, I can be one of the experienced guys. I will bow out if you get a lot of others who want to play, and will be a sub if needed.
I’m in. I’ve never played MP before, and while I mechanically know how to play the game, I’ve not really any grasp of how to play the game at all well. Obviously I’d prefer to be a Disciple.
Man, Eriu, Pangea and Pelagia all seem kinda cool to try.
MA Man is pretty cool, with it’s foreign recruitment Wisemen and Research Monks.
Sadly, the Longbowmen are never as good as I think they should be, but you do have unicorns.
I’m sold on the Unicorns. Man it is.
I believe if you don’t go for a Thrice Horned Boar, the Unicorns are you best expandors early on. Something like 3 or 4 can take a weak province.
Also, I find the daughters are the best initial recruits until you need a leader. Than grab the mother’s.
I am interested! Thanks for posting it, I kind of forgot.
I’ll have to look back through the nations again. It’s been a while.
Sure, take a look. It’s just against AI, so it’s low pressure.
Which is why I am trying Ash without the death domain.
I think I’d like to go with T’ien Ch’i.
Okay, unless more beginners want to play, we have a 6 player team, with 3 beginners, 2 experts and @belouski, who may or may not be somewhere in between.
I’ll wait a bit longer to see if anyone else comes over.
Looking at the initial 3 nations, I would argue that whoever is our pretender should probably go with scales. That will probably be the most helpful.
We will need to pick a pretender though.

Some helpful links for people.
If I am in, I would consider being pretender with Caelum or something, and could shift to neutral heat/cold to gain 2-3 free scales. It wouldn’t hurt a strat too much I don’t think. Could also go imprisoned.
I am fine with sitting out, but glad to help too. I am also away this weekend so starting up after the weekend is good for me too.
Can I play? I haven’t played disciple but played fair act of Dom 3, a smidge of Dom 4 and 0 of Dom 5. So I’m in the advanced beginner in that I only occasionally screw up communions.
If I can, I’d like to be Bandar Log.
