I miss Melkor (3rd Gnome IR) :)

An advantage of using some form of PLs is that it might make it easier to allocate resources and deploying forces.

Kalanyr, I will try to be in the IR chatroom for a while tonight. (I am six hours behind GMT.)

My point exactly. It seems we agree on something for once . Have you given any thought to which faction you want to play?

 

[William Ronald]

I am debating between the Celts of the British Isles or the ancient Judaeans (or the part of the Roman Empire that would contain them.) There are so many factions to chose from in such a game. I think PLs and an initial assignment of them might help with balance issues at the start of a game. (Some factions will grow, others shrink. This is to be expected.)

I also think that some non-humans might work. The Celtic sidhe and the Norse alfar as well as the Norse dwarves. And giants. However, that might be a little too much.

I am also working on a list of historical resources, similar to the first post in my Maps and Other Campaign Resources thread. (I am working on an update on that -- I hoped more people would contribute to it. Oh, well.) I have not worked on Han China yet but Sollir will be pleased to know that I found several interesting links on the Kushan Empire.

Hey, just got back a few hours ago-glad to see this thing is still churning. I approve of the rules, although I'm sort of inbetween on the PL thing. I think it should just be a representation of how many forces you have to split up between various activities-not necessarily power, though. Also consider splitting up the 3 categories-for instance, it might be cool to have a power with their Military with a Naval Power score 1 higher but a Land Power score 1 lower than normal.

Can't wait to see the info, William, thanks!

I know you are a deeply religious person, with strong ties to Judaea. In a friendly game such as this it's important to be able to keep ones emotional distance to what happens and not get personally offended when things go wrong. That can be hard enough to do under normal cirqumstances, when the game is only a game, but when the game comes to represent a matter of great personal importance it will be all but impossible. The "Holy Land" might just be a bit too holy...
You have probably considered this already, and you are the only one who knows your own limitations. Whatever faction you choose I'm sure you will perform admirably.

Hmm, I'm also interested in the Celts (for quite some time already, I believe it was one of my first reactions on 1 BC game). Just so you know =]

So people. How are things proceeding?

 

[Kalanyr]

I am pondering PL and the fact that it is yet another number yet most people want to implement it, and how to resolve this without compromising my need to maintain my sanity.

That's up to you, do what you want, I'll play either way. (You won't get rid of me that easily )

How many players do we have, as of now? Who has decided to play and which country have they chosen?
