Exploratory Primeval

This will be as game #133, the initial Primeval game: 5 players, 5 kingdoms, the EL, DW, GI, GN, and BL.

This game is unrestricted as to personas but is recommended for experienced players.

What is Exploratory? No kingdom will begin with a High Priestess and none may be recruited prior to turn 4.

This game does not count toward your available game slots. It is instead $40 for the full game including setup. It will run three turns a week M-W-F.

Like the first Primeval, it is won by controlling 4 regions or the victory goes to the player with the highest total status points at the end of turn 24.

First come, first served for claiming your kingdom by posting here.

EL me, please. I have some making up to do.

I'm going to want the BL again.

Edit: Oh, good grief! Posting at the same time as Dusi and it looks like we are going to hate on each other again!

You're a monster.

Scratch me from this one... should have waited to see the full-sized game that was launched. Awesome.

What do we think about making this a no communication allowed game as well?

Primeval Exploratory No communication (but not anonymous).

Without the diplomacy it should make deciding on our every other day turns much faster.

Anonymous in this format will enable the GI to completely wreck a selected opponent's contest from the very beginning without the other players becoming aware of this action. What balances the strengths of the GI position is the precarious central placement, which is exacerbated by communication among the players surrounding the GI.

I am always one to play lots of new formats and am generally willing to try anything, whether balanced or not. Just throwing in my two cents. Smile

I would like to see a version of this as anonymous as well. Maybe the kingdoms of EL WA RA GN DW might be more of a balanced matchup for anon. Or maybe the DA could be mixed in. I am looking forward to trying this game after 134 gets rolling.

But my Giants will be nice Giants. Our ogres will only be used for agricultural purposes.
