We're 6. Let's start or wait for more?

Edit: Actually we're just 5. @Nemesis managed to occupy two slots.

No clue how that happened, but I removed the duplicate slots. It's now five, including myself.

The lobby interface isn't the most intuitive. @Decline @Emphyrio Do you know why I can't load in my custom-made pretender? When I hit "Load," I get no options.

some possibilities:

You have to create it in the tools-> create tendie menu. It doesnt save tendies you made for sp games.

You made tendies for EA vanheim instead of MA vanheim

make sure you password this time

By the way, Clockwork bot now supports Dom6 games: https://mrclockwork.net/host_dom6

The advantage over the Ilwinter lobby is you get proper notifications when a new turn is up. The downside is it requires Discord.

too many thrones (8), too high throne requirement (6), too high throne level (3 instead of 2). I'd do 4/6 level 2 thrones.

Though actually, using level 1 thrones might prevent throne rushing better as the problem the last 2 games has been that people weren't clearing/forting the thrones in their own cap circle.

use random cave instead of circle cave

That explained it. I didn't see any indication we progressed to MA.

I don't mind the thrones either way, though I agree about the cave layout - random is more mysterious.

I agree, with T3 if you end up with a throne in your cap circle you've got a problem.

How about 6 of 8 T1 thrones?
In my infinite wisdom I have decided 5T2 1T3 and 6 to win (I will regret this).

I like circle because it allows people to go around the world and pop up everywhere, putting an emphasis on controlling the underground. But ok, random it is.

Why did you say 'wait' then?

But fair enough, let's start.
