Game 6110 The Choosing

[Clueless]

Hey, just want to say that this new game just started and it's on a completely different map and ruleset (3rd Cycle The Choosing).

Game 6110
Ruleset: 3rd Cycle The Choosing
Map: Resurgent
Cities: Random (so ignore the city symbols on the map)
Comm: Anonymous
Options: Extra Orders (4)
Fun Factor: Kick-Ass

When filling in your orders, keep in mind that the order entry website probably won't calculate gold totals correctly since the website is geared for the 4th Cycle Maelstrom ruleset. I found that out by playing a tutorial game which runs off the older 3rd Cycle The Choosing ruleset, but the order entry website was saying that the gold cost for orders were free (they're not when the turn actually runs).

So, all of us in this older-style game will need to take that into consideration because there are no longer any freebies in gold cost for emissary and agent orders.

Any else that we should be informed of for this game? Chime in please...

After looking at the online order Ready page, it shows the following kingdoms in this game. Since this is a 3rd Cycle The Choosing game, certain regions will have two or more kingdoms, while others may have only one or even none. I guess that's how the game queue assigned the kingdoms based on our draft choice selection.

Anyhoo, here are the kingdoms according to the online Ready page (based on region):

Oakendell               - {none}
Northern Mists       - Necromancer
Talking Mountains - Warlock
Torvale                    - Sorcerer
Amberland              - {none}
Eastern Steppes   - Demon Princes
Runnimede            - Halfling
Arcania                   - Illusionist
Synisvania             - Dark Elves & Lizard Men
Southern Sands    - Ancient Ones & Nomad
Dispersed #11      - Underworld
Dispersed #12      - Red Dragon

Where do the dispersed go? Is it always near the south? If so, it'll make it rougher down there.

Seems like due to the draft selection, the south is definitely in for some hostile action with multiple kingdoms fighting each other from the start, while the north is going to be boring as heck...
