New classic games forming soon?

I'd rather another no wizard kingdom game than limiting wizard advancement to P4.

I understand.   I wonder how the other no wizard game went?  

It seemed like 525 benefited the next tier of magic kingdoms  EL,DA, DE.

If we limited all wizards to 4 we might see a very viable HA, SA and LI kingdom emerge.

[Atuan]

I believe 524 is having similar outcome.

[VballMichael]

It is. Leaders are DA, GN and RA.

I was hoping for a few (not 5) caster kingdoms so I might try my luck as one or invade their regions fast as I can.  I think caster kingdoms really benefit from ESO and kingdoms waiting to achieve theirs before going aggressive against them.  No NAPs in this game will make caster kingdoms an earlier target in my option.  Hope to get region 2 (1 in 12 shot) to try the Barbarians or CI.

I don't want to hijack the thread but I was thinking about variants we could play in this game or some time in the future.

Would anyone ever consider a game where we all agree not to advance wizards past level 4?   Addtionally I would like the game to include the SA and the TY instead of the dragons.

Recently we ran the silent no wizard version of the game and and the top 2 kingdoms were the EL and DE both casting dome and teleporting armies.  It would be interesting to limit things to more conventional warfare some time.

Thanks

Interesting twist. I would play in this. Though perhaps P5 cap so those that do have magic gain a bit more of their advantage.

I think the EL/DE/DA/RA would all be strong with P4's also.   Plus if you get to P5 and add a ring would P6 be allowed?

It could be played either way.  The less magic the stronger I think the HA, CI, DW, SA, LI, PI will be.

What is the big concern with casters?  Is it Dome, unlimited movement, summon death, and or almost no troop upkeep?  I am not saying this as a  joke, but I have not played  a caster in 3rd cycle yet so I was wondering if this is it or are there other issues?

It just would play like an entirely different game.   I think 3rd Cycle is great.  You should definetly try the SO,WA, NE also.

i have now played the RA, CI and NE and was just imagining what the game would be like without as much magic.  Troops, emmies and agents will all become more powerful.   
 
I would also like no dragons so we can see what the TY and SA would be like in this environment.

OK, we filled the Alliance game so the next game up will be a Steel (12 player) Anonymous game.  I would ask VBall Michael to start a thread with the house rules, but it must be recognized, the staff cannot enforce house rules, ie, stuff that is not in the code.  VBall no doubt will solicit input and options, and it does seem a random selected order might be more fair.

We may also soon start a Silent queue, where you choose your kingdom when posting (one per zone), with bonuses to those who pick late.  That will probably begin a thread in a couple days.
