Just wanted to update that I will be leaving tomorrow morning, Saturday, and won’t be back at my computer again until Monday. So, if nations get picked and we are waiting on me, it may not be until Monday.
Looking forward to the game. Should be fun!
Monday is fine. We are waiting on players to make their nation choice know.

I think I will try either one of these as the Pretender:
MA Phlegra, and concentrate on great scales
or
MA Mictlan, and have a bless ( but not obscene) strat

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.

8 Akaoni - Pending - Pretender
Okay, since we have 8 players, we should shore up the nations. Remember, @Kelan and @Akaoni has to make a team from the nations we select, so let us make their jobs difficult!
Right now, I have the following
@Fifth_Fret as Man
@belouski as T’ien Ch’i
@Otthegreat as Narzca
@legowarrior as Asphobel
@wahoo as Bandar Log
I just need MA nations for @tylertoo .
Going off the discussion, the game will be 4 v 4 v 8, with the two human teams allied until the AI has been defeated, let’s say completely. The game with have Thrones, and will be won when 2/3 of the throne points are held by any single team, which might occur before the AI players are defeated.
Right now, the map in question is the Conquest of the Pankor System, a large unique map with plenty of choke points. The teams will be clustered together, so you don’t have to worry about being far away from your team mates.
Nothing is 100% set in stone, so bring up any changes or issues you would like, including changing nations.
Hope that helps.
@tylertoo , if we can get your pick, we can get this show on the road. I think.

Anyone have time to look up the favored heat/cold scale of each nation so far? I used to know, but not so sure any more.
Pretty sure:
Man: Neutral
TC: Neutral
Narzca is Cold 1, and Bandar Log is Heat 2. They probably should be on the same team.
Apologies… will post it in a couple of hours when I’m home. As a newcomer, particularly to MA, I’m open to recommendations.
The links above might be helpful. Ulm? Not much magic, but powerful troops.
What do you like?

So, we got all the newbie teams.
Now, all that is necessary is to pick teams.
In keeping with the rules, we do this playground style.
@Kelan and @Akaoni , who ever posts first gets first pick.
Then we’ll follow the following schedule.
Leader 2 - 2 picks
Leader 1 - 2 picks
Leader 2 - final pick.
After the teams are picked, we will have a few days to discuss team plans before the leaders have to make their pretender selection.

So, me responding here, now, makes me the Leader 2, with the first picks? Or the Leader 1? I am easily confused.
Sorry, you are leader 1. So you pick first, then we follow the schedule.
L1 - 1 pick (first pick)
L2 - 2 picks - the rest of the schedule.
L1 - 2 picks
L2 - 1 pick
It’s diabolical, if I say so myself!

Alright Polyurethane Centurion of Evil Plans, I pick Asphobel as my first pick. I am interested to see you manage this as a disciple…
Me too. Is it Pangea lite? Is it more than that?
I have a few good summons and forts and bonus starting gems.

I think its Pan with lots of death instead of earth and blood. But with those summons, and the costly forts, I dunno.
I guess I should say what nation I am going to pick? Or do I wait?
Sure, but, half price labs and half price temples in forests. Don’t forget fort summoning spells.
I just need to take forests.

Excellent. So how do we do team communication? An email “reply all”, or some Discord thing?
