http://z9.invisionfree.com/1906/index.php Yeah, that's the one Will has been talking about. I haven't signed up yet because I'm still working out which country I'm going to play. 1600s or early 1700s sounds great to me. Excellent period; early modern warfare and the changing intellectual currents make things really dynamic. I'd be glad to play in that period. |

I'll get started on launching it this week. Though, I'd still like some opinions on whether or not this should be NS based. Any input would be appreciated :D |

Well, I'd prefer a rough province system like the ones we tried out with some of the games a few months ago, but naturally you should wait for others' input :lol: I'd rather not have the NS system because I don't want to import the relatively static power hierarchies from our forum into a different game. |

I've joined the 1906 game, and look forward to a Crusader game in the near future. |

Crusades? Rats. Looks like that may end up being the era I make then. Though I generally tend to prefer renaissance and afterwards, because before those times strong nation-states did not exist (which changes the dynamic of the RP dramatically). |

Well I just sked (skimmed+read=sked) the previous posts and picked up on the word Crusader. Any medieval era is fine by me, as long as I can be a heartless Venetian merchant. |

Well right now I was thinking of a start in the 1500s or 1600s... What sort of start date would you prefer, leb? |

Even though I would likely stick to the Mediterranean region, I would like to be more tied to the wider world, which is why I prefer a post-Rennaissance setting over the Crusades one. |

Would it be RL history, or could we have fictional nations? |

I wanted it to be like the games earlier in this thread, where we could make our own nations or use real ones. What do others prefer? |

I'm assuming fictional would be what most of us want. Though, I don't want to start this one without some sort of concrete rules and regulations established beforehand. That's the formula for failure. |

Build a forum, and we'll work out some rules and stuff before getting started. |

I'll have one launched in a couple of days. I'm a bit busy from 6:00 today until Wednesday afternoon. |

I'll probably be busy from Wednesday through late Thursday, but I should be able to help with rules and such after that. Perhaps if someone is willing to create a new forum earlier than Cerdone is able, we could continue this discussion over there? I would support using the same province map of Europe we used in Empire Europe. What do you guys think? |

:lol: The forum is still there, but I've sort of re-configured it to focus on alternate history, not that there's much there... But I want a game we can actually start playing soon ;) |

I lost the map we used in Empire Earth a while back, so that isn't an option. I'd prefer carving out land on a blank map anyway, using rivers and natural barriers. |

Well we still have a link to the map that you modified there on Rex Mundi, but a new map with natural borders sounds great too. |

I tried to look for some maps that fit your criteria that I would be willing to recommend. Here are a few to consider: Europe: http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/lib/exe/d...ope&cache=cache http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/lib/exe/d...e_2&cache=cache World: http://wiki.alternatehistory.com/lib/exe/d...y_3&cache=cache |

THe second one is my favorite personnaly. I'd also support staying in a localized region rather than the world, especially if we're going back in time. The world was too big at that time. |

I like the second one too. I agree that the world as a whole is probably too big, though some kind of colonization could be appropriate. But the second map is bigger than the usual European venue, allowing for a few more options, which is cool. |

I think we go with option #2, and make only that land playable from the start. If its necessary, and expansion could be made to it later on. |
