   Okay, I have mine sent in as well. With that we are half way to having all pretenders submitted (Edit there are now only 2 left to be submitted). As for getting stuck in by players remember, the peace is a suggestion. We would frown at untoward violence against others but if they obviously trapped you in on purpose it would be justified. Also if they do that and leave their borders undefended they clearly where inviting you to take a jaunt through their land to find more neutral provinces. I would look at the first year less as a peace and more of a cold war just waiting to go hot.

NotAEditForNinjaResponding: Because there are a number of new players who probably don't even really know how to properly pull off a bless strategy we are considering not attacking other players directly. Now if you do take a bless strategy then you could consider using it to surround the enemy or possibly make a giant land grab and just end up with so many provinces you can finish the game early. Its no fun being new and being knocked out early but if everyone is taken out in short order at least we can start another game.

Don't worry, don't worry, I won't be using my first-turn-kill strategy. ;p

Anywho, My pretender is in. This... will be interesting. I'm sorta stealing a build I used to use for LA Agartha and trying to make it work for EA Agartha. One last thing to check: what are the gentlemanly rules as to mercs? Are we ignoring them, ignoring them for a year, using them with no restrictions, using them without being a douche I.E. giving them bad items before contracts run out?

[Bluerobin]

Oh I hadn't even thought about restrictions on mercs. I'd say free reign, adding more rules might get more complicated than it's worth.

[gman8181]

Using them without restrictions sounds fine with me.  If a person is willing to waste gems filling up a merc's inventory with junk items, then that's their prerogative.

[Karlito]

Doing something like slapping a slave collar on a merc mage to make them useless seems borderline exploity to me, but I can't really see any great advantage in doing it.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Mercs are free to use and abuse as well you can. Unlike instagibbing a new player because they don't really know how to deal with you is one thing, using Mercs to romp around the map is another. Also all but one pretender has been submitted. We might actually be able to start the game todayish.

EditForNinjas: If you really want to slave collar a merc to make them useless its your resources to do so. Its a strategy for sure and would make people waste some of their gold until everyone that would want the merc knows about it. So basically you put people down about as much money as paid but not the gems you spent. The biggest hit would be if someone need a merc for magical diversity and if you are depending on mercs your doing it wrong I fear.

I won't be able to submit my pretender until this evening (at work right now), but it'll be in.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Thats fine, I wasn't actually expecting to get most of them submitted so fast. Plus what would the point of you submitting it now, its not like we could start the game, your at work and couldn't do your first turn anyway.

[Bluerobin]

I'm going to be tied up with New Year celebrations and work until about this time tomorrow, I just already had my pretender ready to go.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Yeah I figured as much for most of us. I plan to just start it up and then extend it a day or so instantly.

[Karlito]

I'm playing a test game on the map, and I've found a few missing province connections. There should be one between 19 and 23 and one between 20 and 25. I think it's probably worth it to restart the game at this point to play on a fixed map, agree?

EDIT: Found another between 1 and 114

[gman8181]

If it's not too much work for our host, than yes I agree.  I'm flexible though.

[Karlito]

Here is a corrected .map file with those three connections added, if we decide to use it.
