MA looks just fine, nothing that stands out as OMGWTF ridiculously overpowered.

Granted, raws on the nations would be nice, just to be sure.

EDIT: NEVERMIND I AM THE BLIND

[AlStar]

Yeah, I'm not seeing anything that seems either too bad or crazy overpowered in MA - I'm willing to go with this bunch.

Ooh, those stealthy/flying/awe pigeon sacreds look hilarious. Don't seem to have stealthy priests to go along with them, though, but that can be fixed...

... I'm totally voting for the mulligan at this point, though. There are a lot of spy nations on the field, and I'd be verra' happy to roll the dice for a chance to lower that number >_>

[E. Albright]

Poll is up to make it formal, although we should have a fairly rough idea just from the voice vote.

[PrimusRibbus]

Did a brief skim and it seems pretty middle of the road. A little ho-hum, but nothing popped out as too wildly unbalanced.

I could go either way on a mulligan. Part of me would like see if we can get some weirder nations, but at the end of the day there's a very real chance that whatever we regenned would be much more unbalanced.

If it's any consolation in this regard, I'll point out that every team has spies, and so only one team has two spies.

[Frumple]

That's arguably even worse, since you can't even narrow down the cause when unrest starts spiking all over your nations

[Elfeater]

EDIT: Nevermind, I suppose there i enough variance.

[EuchreJack]

More detailed analysis:

Most nations have either death or astral magic, which gives significantly more diversity to pretender design.  In this regard, these nations are more balanced than Native.

[E. Albright]

Well, assuming we've had no drive-by voters, we're at a majority for "stick with it". This is in keeping with thread chatter. So I'm gonna go ahead and go ahead.

Do we want to have fixed starting positions (and if so, who's setting them up, and how?) or do we want to leave ourselves at the mercy of the clustering algorithm?

[Frumple]

... some sort of starting position would probably be better, but we're also rolling with a theme of randomness, so... we should throw ourselves further on the mercy of the RNG

---

... also, whenever someone gets around to downloading the mod, could they kindly upload it... somewhere else? Mega.nz hates every browser I use, for whatever reason :V _{browser needs to be updated my arse}

It's safer to just go with the pregenned one than muddling about doing it manually, heh.

[IWishIWereSarah]

By the way, we're keeping on Hexawyr ?

If so, we can nearly begin picking nations now, don't we ?
(even though I'd really need to review them thoroughly :-° )


PS: oh and I think having starting positions set would be good on Hexawyr, as the distances are short on this map.
Oh, and a little "detail" I didn't notice before opening the map editor : the rivers link the sea/lakes, in Hexawyr.

[E. Albright]

IWIWS: FWIW, there's no picking nations. haraSereWIhsiWI hashed to 0x11344182, which is 288637314 decimal, which was divided by 10 like all the other seeds to ensure it wasn't too large for NG, which gave you a seed of 28863731, which generated Shiium for MA NG 0.6.9.


Poll reset so we can use it to squabble over fixed/random starts, though I expect we'll actually settle it via discussion.
