So, too late for me to join the new game as well?

sharaleo: You can still join. We’ll just have six players in one of the games, symmetry isn’t that important. :)

Cool, count me in!

Upcoming games

I need all 11 players to nominate a Late Age nation to the pool we will be drafting from. Whan all have submitted their choice, we will start the draft. Brooski, Nikolaj and Austen get the first three picks (in random order) then the eight remaining players draft the rest (again in random order). After the draft, I will separate the players into two groups randomly.

Ermor and R’lyeh are banned. This leaves the following nations to choose from:

Abysia, Blood of Humans
Agartha, Ktonian Dead
Arcoscephale, Sibylline Guidance
Atlantis, Frozen Sea
Bogarus, Age of Heroes
Caelum, Return of the Raptors
C’tis, Desert Tombs
Gath, Reign of the Anakim
Jomon, Human Daimyos
Man, Towers of Chelms
Marignon, Conquerors of the Sea
Mictlan, Blood and Rain
Midgard, Age of Men
Pangaea, New Era
Patala, Reign of the Nagas
Pythium, Serpent Cult
T’ien Ch’i, Barbarian Kings
Ulm, Black Forest
Utgard, Well of Urd

We will be playing CBM 1.92 (link).

Please note that this mod makes significant changes to balance, and some nations that were considered weak have gotten new toys. For players used to the vanilla game the most important change is that clams, fever fetishes, bloodstones, dwarven hammers and sanguine dousing rods have been made unique items.

I smell a metagame!

My nomination is Jomon.

Anyone that nominates Man shall be immediately eliminated from even competing.

Nikolaj · 2012-02-22T02:29:43.000Z

What, no Ermor? Alright, I’ll nominate T’ien Ch’i.

Damn!

Mysterio · 2012-02-22T07:08:01.000Z

You people need to stop forming new games, since each one tempts me to return to the fold.

And it’s just mean tossing Bruce into the mix to tempt me further. Mean, I say.

Dave_Perkins · 2012-02-22T07:09:12.000Z

You are always welcome, Mysterio! You and your green lions.

Brooski · 2012-02-22T07:13:25.000Z

“Bogarus?” WTF is that? I nominate it!

I am fine with having Nikolaj and Austen flip for the first pick, the loser getting the second pick, and then me choosing third. I haven’t played in years an years, but I did write the manual, so I should get some sort of penalty. Even if that manual is now probably horribly outdated.

You and your green lions.

Against you and your stealth assault squad sneaking through my provinces after having signed a NAP with me.

Ah, good memories…

Is Atlantis a land nation in LA? WEIRD

Okay, geez, who’s even left… uh, Ulm.
