Brats und Bier Bitte! Round one. Fight!, Mod nations are welcome!

Yup, Shangri-la is a very nice mod nation. Welcome.

That makes us complete. I suggest everyone tries out the different nations to get a feel for what you're up against. Tomorrow night or monday I'll make the combined mod and create the game.

Oh, and has someone a good suggestion for a nice map with about 100-120 provinces.

I hate to be that guy, but I am concerned that Shangri-La is overpowered. See the mod thread.

Hmm, I thought they were okay in the game 'Testing grounds'. I can't check them cause I'm away from my comp till sunday evening. Maybe someone can take them for a spin in SP and chime in some thoughts.

From what I remember of Testing Grounds, Shangri-La got hemmed in very early on by the early, mid, and late game juggernaut and eventual winner, Haida Gwaii. Plus, it was under CBm 1.6 right? I'm not good enough at Dom3 to make a call on whether it is OP, but I don't think testing grounds is a good measure.

Edit: Just realized that I might be thinking of Al-Nadim; one of my neighbors was hemmed in, I just can't remember which one!

Well, that tester wouldn't be me then. If it is too OP, I'm also up for Chaos Undivided or Aurum.

On second thought, after messing around with them a lot in SP, I don't think RW really fits the way I like to play (plus the fuckery I was angling for doesn't work all that reliably :} ). May I switch to R'Lyeh instead ? I've been meaning to give the squids a whirl for some time.
If UW nations aren't kosher then I'll play Pythium, they seem neat.

Ok that's fine too. Do you have any map nice map suggestions for 7 land players 1 underwater nation?

Not much to go for in my map folder I'm afraid.

Realm Of Many Tomatoes could work (if be a PITA for me )
We could go with Broken Kingdom again (it needs a handful of fixes though, the sea<->land connections are borked in places).
Threelake might do as well.
Aran, old unbalanced Aran. Fuck Aran forever.
Land of Legends, but it's probably too big (18 provs per)
Small Divide, but it might be too small (10/player on land, 13 UW)

That's about it.
Or, y'know, Yalun-To. 58 land, 34 sea, perfect !

Broken Kingdom's water provinces are way too big. Needs fixing or I would not recommend it..

Put me up for Itza - Servants of the Old Ones, please!

I vote for Land of Legends! It's a little larger than what you aim for GFSnl, but it does have the right amounts of water provinces and looks all around nice.¨

Edit: Working on the Malazans now.. soon finished!

Ok, Cool. Itza it is.
If none objects I think Land of Legends is a good map.
Land of Legends

When Deathjester has finished his modifications to Malazan I can make the combined mod and create the game. I'm aiming for a first turn by Wednesday/Thursday.

OK, I'm done w/ Malazan for now. The "hero bodyguard" addition took a long time to test..

Btw - go ahead and play with Shangri-La - we will have to be wary when we encounter you. I think they are very powerful, but not broken powerful.

Turns out I did not test it properly after all. If you have already made the combo mod, remove the following line:

#summon1 2968 - Autosummons Tool every turn - poof!

Otherwise - use the soon updated Malazan file..

I apologize for this little mess.

It was national server breakdown day at work today. So I had a little less time to make the combined mod at work. But don't worry I'll have it finished in three hours or so.

On another note. Land of legends, is it possible to have all nations start at the outher ring? Like in that LP that never finished over at Something awful? R'Leyh does seem to have an advantage there with the middle island but that is if the others allow fish on land.

Yeah, if we want to, you could set all the inner island provinces to "no start". Probably a good idea. R'lyeh will be dangerous, yes.
