Yes, hello, will be co-admining this game. Not quite sure which era I'd prefer, so I'll keep my vote as a tie breaker.

I'll try my luck a third time, I guess.

Map suggestion: Dawn of Bridges v3. It's basically Dawn of Dominion, but with blue/red province links over rivers and small mountains, except where there are some bridges over rivers. Link.

Era: I'd like to say no preference, but I'll probably do better in MA.
Research: Standard again please.
Can we turn story events on?
Thrones, no idea. I usually go for a handful of L3 ones, because it makes early grabs at them less likely.

My preferences are towards MA as well and if possible with graphs off just cause the last 3 or so had em on.

For reference, Dawn of Bridges v3

Yeah I'll play this. Need to get the internet-death-during-games ratio down. Don't mind which age.

I've been playing with the same group of people for a while now, so it'd be nice to see if I've actually improved. Count me in. What are the conventions on this board regarding diplomacy and the bindingness or otherwise of diplomatic agreements?

I'm a bit confused by the safe turns rule. Surely it should prevent entering opponents capital provinces at all as if your capital is sieges for any length of time in the first year it's pretty much game over for you regardless of whether they actually seal the deal by storming the castle.

Diplomatic agreements are breakable, but trade agreements are binding. About the safe turns rule, can't speak for thtblovesdf, but it does add a layer of risk to an early attack. Plus if you do manage to grab a capital within the first 12 turns that's a silly amount of income you could have before all other players would have access to something similar.

In for another!

I vote MA, and I'd be cool with Dawn of Bridges. I suggest normal settings otherwise.

Ah it exists for the other players, not the player being rushed. Makes sense.

Also two quick requests. I think it would be better to name the new Round Bay12GamesRound425, I was running off insomnia and stress when I was putting the last game together, so I left the Games part of the title by accident. If I recall it was Sean that pointed out that I messed up after the fact when the name in the OP did not match the game name.

Second, think we can get a province count on the Dawn of bridges map? It would be good to have a solid idea of what it is we're splitting exactly.

It's the same as Dawn of Dominion, 132+15. 10 land starts, 1 UW start, 1 cave start. Starts are locked so you're guaranteed fair-ish positioning.

Seems decent enough, so I'll go ahead and vote for it.

It also seems to have some lovly winter/summer warm/cold connections.

MA seems to be the popular vote, standart research, thrones mostly as usual with high level ones set so you have to take at least 1 or realistically 2.

I'll call my nation preference after at least 4 other players called there MA nation. It would be nice if we had 1 UW player, but if its 0 or 2, we can work with it.

And I feel like I can already hate on whoever plays Agartha.
