If you already now know, that you will be away for a longer time, pls write it here. Then we can take this into consideration when planning the teams.

I have not planned any vacations yet.

An "island game" may help balance starting positions.

Are we using Keygen's mod?

[TheBirdMan]

If you all have the lite-mod then YES. Else I will use Stavros' old, where we can choose how many settlers we want to start with (and a lot more if we want, I have the expiriences).

[jpww]

3 settlers should be plenty.

[ricketyclik]

Modlite I have... world settings I don't mind.... bloodlust off is my preference there.

[MILAMBER]

bump. no vaction work all the time. blood on. doughnut
will stand by

[jpww]

I have Keygen's lite mod.

[FlameFlash]

I have Keygen's lite mod, but I like the sound of just three settlers to start out with too.

An island game does sound like the better route.

[FlameFlash]

Do we know the team assignments yet?

[TheBirdMan]

No - any suggestions? I am ready to team up with anyone of you.

Which nations will you play?

I think I wil take the russians and the vikings.

[jpww]

I'll take the Portuguese and the Spanish. It'd be nice to have balanced teams, but since I haven't had the pleasure of playing with all of you, I couldn't even make an educated guess. We'll probably have to randomly assign the teams somehow.

[ricketyclik]

Indonesian/Thai please.

I suggest FF and I team up each with either JPWW or Bird, as FF and I are the relatively inexperienced players.

[FlameFlash]

So we do each get two nations!!!

Native Americans and Irish please.

Teaming up with ricketyclik sounds fine to me... espeically since he and I seem to work well together in one of the other games (Bulletproof) though commiting to borders isn't much...

Maybe asking Keygen's opinion, if he's available. It'd be good to get the teams balanced and he's probably seen us all in action one place or another.
