Your expression of interest in the other thread already had you on the list. As to nation choice, that'll have to be a discussion with your teammates, especially if by a "death" nation you mean a freespawn undead nation...

freespawn doesn't work as a disciple nation I think. It can still work though, Lemuria's summons are great for example :)

In a disciple game, lemuria/ermor as a pretender will get their freespawn. And their disciples get the popkill, not a good god to worship.
As disciples they don't get the freespawn or their popkill. I guess there's a potentially effective gimmicky game to played by utilizing a mix of indies and their crazy D income/national summons. A very finicky strategy considering you can't recruit almost anything worth the gold it costs. It's probably ok if you can get the lemuria/ermor player survive to really leverage those summons. Which of course means that there's probably two to a dozen N9 dragons stomping right at their face from the start.

Heh. Iirc, lemuria can get their first consul on turn... three? And then another something like every 2-3 turns later, more or less forever.* I'm not sure how many it would take to murder an unkitted, mostly spell-less, dragon, but I doubt it would be many.

Ermor would be screwed, though. They've got arguably better casters (in terms of gem efficiency, iirc.), but what they don't have is a zero research, half cost, self-blessing might-as-well-be-a-wraith lord.

*To which one asks, naturally, "But research!" to which the lemurian responds, "A dozen wraith lords on your front door by turn 25. Good luck!" Alternately: Indie researchers.

Guys, I'm backing off. Can't afford the time commitment after all. Have fun.
I haven't voted in the poll, for the record.

Understood. Perhaps another time.

Lavenders, you're bumped up to playing, so you and Culise shall have to forgo the pleasure of a deference duel.

Ah, a shame.  I was somewhat hoping we'd hit 15 players so we could have an excuse for a 5x3 game. ^_^

Well, I wouldn't mind playing to get to a 15 players game, but then we would mostly have beginners :/

Well, I hadn't expected 4.05 for at least another week, but here it is. We have one player on the list who can't play until the 20th; are we okay with waiting two more weeks, but going ahead with planning and such in the mean time?

With 20th being the asbolute minimum, since we'll probably be driving back home at the 21st and then I'll have to return to Vienna, which might be the 22nd.

I'm personally okay with it, but I have ulterior motives: I expect to be bludgeoned to irrelevancy in one of the games I'm playing over course of the next two weeks, so at that point I'll "only" be playing two games. Ish.

Here's a question, though: will you have internet access such that you can plot, scheme, plan, and work out logistical details with your team prior to getting home, or will you be incommunicado and we'll have to do all that (which could be somewhat involved and time-consuming, under the circumstances) after the 20th/22nd?

Well my uncle supposedly has internet so I guess I could take a look every now and then, but I can't say how much time that will be altogether, between visiting all relatives and such.

Edit:
Well apparently the whole thing is going to take a day longer.
And I have too much work and too much on my head right now.
I'll have to drop out.

I won't be applying for any games until I have that all sorted out.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
