Alright, signed you up. Now, I'm familiar with everyone else's skill level, but how well would you describe how you play?
Did (I think) reasonably in the first one, completely shit in the second (until I lost internet for the better part of a month, and then better than I expected in drawing out a lost cause for longer), good start in the third but went to shit immediately upon going to war. Overall, bad to mediocre.

It might help to know folks' level of familiarity with LA, since the eras are wildly different, with different nations.

Alright, I have gotten the teams finalized at least. The day where hatman routes us all with only his with and dominions might is sadly not gonna be this game.

Team A:
Cag
Nurir Torir

Team B:
Jilladilla
Gigalith

Team C:
Hatman
Mini

Team D:
Sean Mirrsen
Cheeetar

I'll have drafting begin soon I think.

Well, everyone should have someone along who is at least somewhat familiar with late age I think. That being said, for players here, do let me know if you are unfamiliar with late age and I can see about revising teams if it makes you nervous, and I can revise the list once over.

I'm not good with LA Pangaea because the nation loses most of what it was in that era. I might go for something weird like Bogarus, I've had some decent experience using a Bogarus disciple because awesome H3 summons and halfdecent army, but f*ck if I can actually use their spells properly. Failing that, Man. LA is generally the least favorite era for me, I have the least experience in its nations.

I think in that case our two teams would have no one with any real experience with Late Age, though I've been doing research. If those two are the ones you want a guarenteed pick on, I can have your team go get first pick of nations or second pick, but cheeetar would end up picking last or second last. I think Jilladilla and Hatman would be the only people familiar with Late Age proper, so we're gonna be mostly on equal footing, and hopefully the more magic sites would help out with figuring out how to magic.

Nah, we're fine where we are I think. Us going last makes us more likely to get a synergy going without somebody else snagging the other half of what we want. Whichever that ends up being.

If this isn't a joke I'm flattered? I've won exactly one game so far, with teammates. But i'm fine with the teams.

I was being silly on account of shadowlord wondering if I was about to have you play by yourself.

Speaking of, I should get the draft going soon. I was hoping to hear from Nurir before beginning, so I'll move my team to second to last in terms of pick order for now.

So pick order will be team B C A D D A C B

A question I forgot to ask - clustered or unclustered start? Since it's a disciples game that's sort of important.

Clustered. Last thing I'd want is for a new player to end up isolated from their team and surrounded by more hostile nations. The more their first game feels fair the more fun they'll have.

I wish to note that some of Xibalba's warriors wield obsidian clubs.

That's right. We have batmen. WITH BATS.
