I'm wondering if this should be moved to Play With Your Buddies.

Does it count as a Let's Play?

As stated before, I'm having quite a bit of difficulty patching, but I'll try again.

I want to play this, but I suck. And multiplaying is going to make me play this competitively, which means micromanagement :(

It's okay, I suck too.  I'm hoping it'll be a pretty casual game.

EDIT:  Oh wow, I was just playing a game as Mictlan and I got wiped out on like the third turn because a random event decreased my dominion and I hadn't gotten around to making any sacrifices yet.

I'd rather play with the latest patch, even though I'm not sure what exactly it fixes/adds apart from an occasional spell or race.

Balance, bugfixes, new units/spells/races, AI improvements...

I'd probably be willing to try joining a PBEM of this if we were doing v3.23b.

I got the patch working properly, there was some stuff messed up with the game folder from a previous installation.

I'm 3.23b now.

Also, I found some more really metal names:

Slave to Unreason, Hunter of Heroes, Maker of Ruins

They're all horrendously powerful god-killing monsters that can be summoned using a wish spell.  The problem is that sometimes they'll attack you for your insolence, and even if they fight for you they'll leave after a while.

Also also, I just won a game against Patala as late age Ermor.  They sent their manticore god to fight in the arena, and my Censor (With the arena trident and some gear dropped by Bogus the troll) killed it.  I don't use the word "fail" because it's a retarded meme, but seriously.  Fail.

Lets not talk about the AI. Let's talk about our game. What age? Where to send the files to? When do we start?
Il P. wants the early era, of course.

I never could really get into early era - middle or late always seemed so much more agreeable. Ah, well, each to their own.

I've seen you in action on the combo scoreboard, EAlbright.   If anything, you are an adaptable gamer.

I am gonna vote Early Age too.  We are looking at maybe 6 players?  Could go to 7?  Need to pick a map!

Urraparrand is a very nice wrap around map with 145 land provinces and 35 sea.  If we could get to 9 players that be awesome with two water nations.  But even with 7 we'd have a ton of provinces each but still could be a fun game.  I think Urraparrand is standard issue but if not I could attach it or find a link to it.

Cradle is a very pretty and very playable map but really shines for a larger 11 player game.

Urraparrand is indeed standard issue, it comes with the .23b patch.

I am in, although I am horrendous at this game (I think. I get the impression that I would have been steamrolled had the opponent had even subpar AI)

Everyone is horrendous at the game.  The pros are just people who are less horrendous than everyone else, and I don't think there are any pros here, so we're good.

Urraparand is ok. Although the prettiest map I've seen was probably the Warhammer-based one.
Anyway, let's not wait for too many people, the more the merrier they say, but it also means slower and more prone to dropping out.

I'm a masochist who likes the obscenely large maps for SP (Lattus, anyone? A semi-randomized Glory, perhaps?), but that's neither here nor there with small-scale MP. Urr or Cradle sound fine.

I'll resist temptation and go with the simple choice: Atlantis/Atlantis/Atlantis

(Late-era as Marigon is so tempting, but... I'll stay strong, stay strong...)
