AlStar, most of us are noobs in the game, having played only 1 or 2 multiplayer Dominions games (included the 4.03 round that just finished and was quite short), so don't worry about making mistakes : we'll all do some ! :D

Great - I'll take Fomoria, since 1) it looks like it's currently free, and 2) it's what I'm currently playing on my test game vs the AI, so I kind of have an idea what I'm getting into.

Since you're at the map limit for people, feel free to take me off of the...waiting on list? Sounds about right.

We could change the map. It'd also allow for more than one water nation, potentially -- but too many more nations and the game can get pretty bloaty. Perhaps another round should be put up? :P

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'm going to say no to another another round. Especially if it's not EA.

If we get a lot more people, we could put up another round for those left out -- unless we want to go for a huge game, is what I meant to say. Huge games can get pretty taxing, especially if you're still learning (aren't all of us :P) and more people is always more potential for stalers and all kinds of unfortunate stuff.

I don't mind games being smaller : I really liked being a neighbour to everyone in the last round :D

Peliwyr seems pretty nice to me, although I still don't understand why I can sometimes cross rivers/lakes and sometimes can't and the line is always blue whether I can or can't... except on maps where I always can, where it's orange...

There's three kinds of connections between provinces. The normal kind where you can cross any time, the blue kind where you can only cross if you can navigate the river (if it's cold scales on both sides, if you're amphibious/aquatic, or if you have flying). Then there's the mountain pass connection, where you can only cross if you have flying, cold resistance 5, or if both provinces have heat scales. I think that might have been brown, but I'm not sure.

Indeed, there would be enough provinces everyone, and I like its "every starting position has at least 4 neighbouring provinces" rule. And Ashsaber would be very welcome in this one.
On the other hand, it's not wraparound.

Oh, and I don't like its "port" concept that much.
I mean, it decrease the meaning of sailing nations... I think it would even be better with fixed sailing commanders recruitables instead (and that would limit transport of elephants across the seas).

That's a very cool idea. A bit like hiring a captain.

wow...12 players...perhaps I should take a more aggressive pretender (RPG-based) :)
That will be a nice competition ;)

@tompliss
can you change my choice from Ermor to Pangaea in the OP? Not that someone trains for it and hasn't read every posting.

Why did I wrote that "out loud" ?

Anyway, if the captain modification is easily done, I may do it myself (after all, I have the week-end to do it ^^' ).


HopFlash : modified it ;)

I will take EA Ulm (I thought that was in my first post but I see a question mark next to my name...)
