Illusionist
W- Sat

I would suggest not taking the illusionist if they are not ready.  If they do not have updated spell lists or special abilities they will not hold up.   The Warlock is a fully prepared magic kingdom and much different than the original.

Thanks JF,  I was not looking for a magic kingdom.  I was looking for one of the new kingdoms that was not fully developed.  This is a test run.  I hope I can provide feed back that will be helpful.  With that being said if UM would prefer I choose a different kingdom I will certainly do so.

W/Sat it is, then.

Netstrider: Druid
VBM: Sacred Order
HH: Demon Princes
Canticar: Illusionist
Jhereg: Lizard Men
JF: Ancient Ones
Acererak: Tyrant

Remaining options for Ry Vor, LD, Frost Lord, and the two possible mystery players:

Zone 2: Cimmerians or Necromancer
Zone 3: Dwarves or Warlock
Zone 4: Sorcerer or Amazon
Zone 7: Gnomes or Halflings
Dispersed: Underworld or Pirate

[DuPont]

Can I get in? I want to be the Pirate.

[Ry Vor]

The Necromancer wasn't played in the first game so I will take that and much prefer the Wed-Saturday schedule. That gives both Mike and I a better chance to make adjustments between turns.

Its true the Illusionist is still lagging development-wise but yesterday I was able to do most of the documentation for about 15 new spells, some of which are maybe just for the Illusionist, or at least at earlier levels, like Mirror Image, Project Group Image, Conceal Emissary.  The new Eagle Familiar and Dire Wolf Familiar will go earlier to the Druid.  The Pirates, Atlantians, and perhaps a couple magic kingdoms will get Summon Kraken.  Gnomes get Summon Rock Golems early, Sacred Order for Destroy Undead.  Crack the Sky is a new high level spell, Liche is a very high level convert to P7 Wraith-like spell (credit Mike), Storm at Sea modified.

After fleshing out the descriptions, I need to assign and adjust spell levels for all kingdoms.  Thought I would get to that today but you know what they say about life and plans.

I'd like somebody to take the Nomads and the Amazons, if those choices for their zones have not yet been made.  We didn't get much feedback on those in the alpha and they have some of the most interesting special abilities and both have hidden capitals.  And of course we have the Halflings in the Runnimede area with the Halfling Trading Company, the Black Dragons now in Amberland so lots of possiibilites to go (like every region) with Flight having more advantages and now close to the one source for the Phoenix.  I could go on.

Main thing, this is preliminary to the "official" beta and as Mike said, is to primarily get feedback on the new interface as well as the feeling of kingdoms, but these will be developed during the course of this test and into the beta.

[Frost Lord]

I will take whatever kingdom is left over after everyone picks.

My vote is for Wed/Sat turns.

[Lord Diamond]

Twice per week for me as well.

I will take which ever of the new kingdoms is left. They are all outstanding. Would rather not take the Amazons or Pirates since I have played them before, but it isn't a big deal.

[Mauler]

I'd also be happy to sign-up and would take either the nomads or amazons per Rick's request. I have a special place in my heart for the Nomads as they were the first kingdom I ever played.

[IMPERIAL_TARK]

I'll take the Nomads or Amazons if you still need additional players.
