We could discuss the settings of the game. I'd suggest the following:
An extended hall of fame (the most experienced and murderous units that enter the HoF get a heroic ability, like increased strength or being stupid)
Slightly increased frequency of magic sites, since magic is fun
Renaming allowed, since names are an important part of the fun and immersion
Five throne sites, with a ratio of 3/5 points claimed for victory (we could allow for level 2 thrones, or 3 if we're mad)
sounds good to me...together with the other throne suggestions.

Questions of some import are if we want a score graph or any mods in the game. If any of you are looking at playing Vanarus, for example, I don't think it has any heroes in the vanilla version of the game, but Burnsaber's Worthy Heroes adds a bunch of Finnish mythological heroes to its roster. Naturally any other setting in the game is also up for your input!
I like the score graph and isn't it that the server express it anyway?

if you ask me I would prefer the vanilla version. I'm good with some light mods but I feel more comfortable with vanilla.

Llamaserver only shows the graphs if the game creater chooses to enable it.

Worthy Heroes is pretty light as far as mods go. It adds and modifies some heroes and that's it. It doesn't change anything major like CBMs of old or the underwater "fix" mod that's floating around somewhere.

Even if we've now reached a 4/2 vote (perhaps non-players voted), we've got some time before the game's expected to start. Should we lock on early era and let you fine folks start strategising and tacticising and buildifying your gods, or what do you think?

(also thanks to Delta Foxtrot for answering so many things, what would I do without you)

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

I know I voted for early :p

I'm all for locking the era, so we can choose a nation and get a embryon of strategy running !

It's done, then! Early it is. Get to ovulating, and let me/us know when you've got a nation decided! MindMaker's already taken Yomi, and USEC_OFFICER's seemingly picking Ur.

I claim Ur, if it isn't obvious.

Did they fix this then? That's good to know. I was really annoyed that we opted for that, but did not get it, in Round 4.01, as I was really looking forward to the whole fog-of-war-with-scrys-and-spies thing.

Yeah, llama fixed it. It was fixed by the time we started 402. Too bad we didn't know it at the time and opted to go with visible graphs (though I'm sure I'm the one most miffed about it currently :P) since "why bother, it's broken already".

I'm off of tentative status and on player status. :D

I call Marveni, land of the fleshy humans and lack of upper body clothing.

(is there anything else I should get besides the map?)

I may try Abysia

[EDIT] or not.
I really don't like the "fire & blood" centered magic... And the fact that their flying commander can't command their flying troops ._.

[EDIT 2] Yeap, going for Kailasa, after all. Monkeys will show you what evolution means ! :D

[EDIT] changing again ! :D

I think I will go with BERYTOS.

The Coast of Biddyn will be populated by people of the Phoenix Empire.

So what are the experience levels of the people I'm playing with?

Edit: Mainly asking because I'm already planning out my general armies, spells, items and asking for advice. I wouldn't want to ruin the game for people that joined just for fun without prior knowledge. That said I have little practical experience myself.
