In Progress ProfessionalThroneSitters V, 4th edition never happened

[Dayyālu]

Greetings. Seeing how there is interest for a new game and CodexIII is coming to a close, methinks it's time to start a new thread to leisurely start a new game. CodexIV died a dog's death between my terrible choice to do a modded game and being swamped, so I'll keep this clear and simple.

We're doing vanilla, but I can include some mods if people vote for them decisively. Like...

Worthy Heroes

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3084600890

ImprovedCasting

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3153066321

Vote for your age, vote for favoured diplomacy (binding or not binding) and Cataclysm settings (Y/N).

We'll start in January and I'll close the Age vote in seven days. You'll be free to join later but I need to get an age and some planning going before 2025!
Map will be a randomgen map and I'll try to fix it to the best of my capabilities. I prefer the inbuilt random generator to other options.... despite it being clunky at best.

Join in, and remember not to trust Malakal Sqeecoo the French.

Io? Francese? Giammai! Io so’ Romano, me so' nutrito de pizza da quanno ero 'n fanciullo!

Spoiler

Me? french? Never! I’m from Rome and was fed a balanced and nutritious regimen of pizza since my tender childhood.

Voting for Worthy Heroes and Improved Casting of course.

Oh, and voting for Binding diplo (us Romans are a trustworthy people!) and yes to Cataclysm (since I’ve never seen it, should be interesting).

Seeing how beyond Christmas period corpo is gonna pump me for all I'm worth until end of February, and this already caused delays in CodexIII, I sadly need to pass. Hope to meet you again in Codex V, though!

Welcome aboard, this is Codex V!

Voting for Worthy Heroes, some nations in EA (e.g. my beloved Kailasa is ass without it)

No preference on diplomacy

 

[Popot]

We should loop back to EA after the LA game. I also vote for both mods mentioned, non binding diplo and Cataclysm.

 

[Hag]

I'm gonna take a Dominions break when after the LA game. I've been playing non-stop since February, often two games at a times, and I went really close to burning out for good and giving up altogether.

Current war somehow gave me back some motivation and interest but I'm kind of looking forward some time without having to manage a goddam empire.

 

[sqeecoo]

I'm in! I prefer MA but it's all good, and Worth Heroes are a must, whereas I don't know anything about improved casting, but I'm ok with playing with it.

 

[orcinator]

Gib blitzserver
And maybe disciples.

Also get the very important mod, "Black Servant" that you can find on the blitzserver mod page.

 

[Sinilevä]

A disciple game is not an option anymore?

 

[Dayyālu]

Early Age wins!

So we have:

Dayyālu
sqeecoo
InD_ImaginE
Popot
orcinator
Sinilevä

Heard Malakal was interested.

A disciple game is not an option anymore?

We could. The two options are a 4vs4 if we get players 7 and 8 or 2vs2vs2vs2 if we get player 7 and 8. I'm not opposed to it, as Disciples lessens the diplo hell and it's a novel system by itself.

I'd suggest that people take a nation and vote if they want Disciples, and what type. I know that Disciples isn't for everyone, so let's try to get the best number of players after various burnouts.

As for myself, I've seriously tried something different. I tried to build Ubar. I tried to build Helheim. I tried Tir. Nothing feels good. I tentatively pick Ea C'tis, because I never played with the lizard fuckers and I'm a boring person.

 

[Popot]

I'm grabbing Pyrene. Also I've got nothing against a disciple game, I would like a 4v4.

 

[sqeecoo]

I'll grab Agartha then, my old favorite. And I guess I vote against disciples, although I don't mind playing a disciple game if the majority prefers it.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Kailasa ofc

I guess I would try Disciple, would be interesting to learn from more experienced player
