Nate:

Is Atlantis a land nation in LA? WEIRD

LA Atlantis is a fun nation. One of my favorite themes.

Like LA Joman they have a whole different type of recruit available in their underwater castles. Unlike LA Joman it’s trivial for LA Atlantis to get underwater. Like LA Joman, LA Atlantis is perfectly viable as a land only nation, the underwater bit just opens up options.

Matt’s playing? Oh, this WILL be fun.

nah, we’ll just create a placeholder for mysterio. That’ll be 12.

Scribble · 2012-02-22T12:02:53.000Z

So, just Austen left to pick then. He can choose either Agartha, Arcoscephale, Caelum, Gath, Man, Marignon, Pangea, Patala or Pythium.

By the way Mysterio, you are welcome to join as well. If you want in, just throw a nation in the pot.

We will start the draft tomorrow.

Despite the fact that Scribble is not playing, I am sure he will still find a way to kill me.

No no no - don’t you recall, you and I are slated for a bloody knife-fight starting at about turn 3…just like always.

Heh. Might we turn our knives outwards and fight back to back? We could conquer the whole world that way…

Of course, we’ll just have to see how the game plays out :)

The in game lore claims R’Lyeh had become the masters of the seas and drove Atlantis to the shores, the very cold shores. I think they are one of the more thematically interesting nations, though with some obvious weaknesses and some nice benefits no one else has.

Austen · 2012-02-22T17:54:44.000Z

Sorry… I’ll nominate Arcoscephale

Nate · 2012-02-22T19:52:59.000Z

Draft time? Exciting! If we get nation picks tomorrow, how much time will we have to design pretenders/come up with strategies? One weekend or two?

Scribble · 2012-02-22T23:02:35.000Z
