Is Atlantis a land nation in LA? WEIRDOriginally Posted by dfs
Midgard
Okay, geez, who's even left... uh, Ulm.
LA Atlantis is a fun nation. One of my favorite themes.
Like LA Joman they have a whole different type of recruit available in their underwater castles. Unlike LA Joman it's trivial for LA Atlantis to get underwater. Like LA Joman, LA Atlantis is perfectly viable as a land only nation, the underwater bit just opens up options.
Matt's playing? Oh, this WILL be fun.
Mictlan
I can give my spot if somebody else wants it to have same size teams
SHUT UP
Now we speak of violence inherent in the system!
nah, we'll just create a placeholder for mysterio. That'll be 12.
So, just Austen left to pick then. He can choose either Agartha, Arcoscephale, Caelum, Gath, Man, Marignon, Pangea, Patala or Pythium.
By the way Mysterio, you are welcome to join as well. If you want in, just throw a nation in the pot.
We will start the draft tomorrow.
Despite the fact that Scribble is not playing, I am sure he will still find a way to kill me.
Scribble isn't playing? Where's the fun of that? We'll find somebody else to kill you matt.
Happy to oblige.
Will we be using Sixlands and Fivelands maps?
No no no - don't you recall, you and I are slated for a bloody knife-fight starting at about turn 3....just like always.
Heh. Might we turn our knives outwards and fight back to back? We could conquer the whole world that way...
Of course, we'll just have to see how the game plays out :)
The in game lore claims R'Lyeh had become the masters of the seas and drove Atlantis to the shores, the very cold shores. I think they are one of the more thematically interesting nations, though with some obvious weaknesses and some nice benefits no one else has.
Sorry... I'll nominate Arcoscephale
Draft time? Exciting! If we get nation picks tomorrow, how much time will we have to design pretenders/come up with strategies? One weekend or two?
The Draft
The upcoming games will be called Hugin and Munin. Hugin is the five-player game which will be played on the Five Lands map. Munin will have six players, map still TBD.
Available nations to draft:
Abysia, Blood of Humans
Arcoscephale, Sibylline Guidance
Atlantis, Frozen Sea
Bogarus, Age of Heroes
C'tis, Desert Tombs
Jomon, Human Daimyos

Midgard, Age of Men
T'ien Ch'i, Barbarian Kings
Ulm, Black Forest
Utgard, Well of Urd
First to pick: Nikolaj
Next up: Austen
is it silent draft or public?
Draft will be public. I have determined the draft order, but will only announce the current picker and the next one.
Damnit Nate, you have one province, how long can your turn possibly take?! :)
Thank you for the invite, Scribble, but I have to pass. I still owe Dave and others a game of TI3 via PBF, but I've been slacking on getting it ready for primetime. Perhaps I'll be up for a game in a few months.
I was actually going to take T'ien Ch'i, but having read up on the nations a bit, I think I'll try Bogarus instead. I hope that's ok with you, Bruce.
Sorry, man. I completely missed that email. I usually flag them when they come in, but I missed this one for some reason. I'm going to stale today as I'm stuck at work-no big deal, though, except for the delay-my apologies.
If you listed all of them, it might expedite the process. If two picks are made while you're asleep, everyone has to wait a day for the next one. But I'll defer to your wisdom. I can be patient. I swear.

I debated it, but decided the added tension was worth the loss of efficiency. :)
As long as you agree to play them in a way consistent with the historical record.
