No, thanks, I don't plan to play this one. With a few other PBEMs started recently and considering "hanging" GOTMs I need to fihish, and the ISDG hassle, there is just no possibility for me to start new games atm.

Instead I would rather enjoy reading your spoilers for this one.

Well, in this case it means that we're still 4 (Beam, Matrix, Justus II & myself). It's a good number or a game.

If we do not count Huns and Sassanidswhich seems rather logical to me, it means we can choose amongst those :

Celts OB
=> Workers : 6 ; Curragh : 3 ; Raiders : 8 ; 6 towns; 2 barracks, 2 granary ; Surroundings : Furs, Iron, horses, fish, cattle and wheat

Vandals OB
=> 3 workers ; 7 migrant ; 10 raiders ; O towns; Surroundings : Furs, Horses, Iron, Games, Cattle, Wheat, Fish

Visigoths OB
=> 3 workers ; 7 Migrants ; 10 raiders ; 0 towns; Surroundings : Iron, Gold, Silver, Horses, Games, Cattle (few)

Franks OB
=> 3 workers ; 7 migrants ; 9 Raiders ; 1 towns ; Surroundings : Furs, Iron, Wines, Fish, Cattle, Wheat, Games

Ostrogoths OB (not in original MP scenario)
=> 3 workers ; 7 migrants ; 10 raiders ; 0 towns; Surroundings : Furs, Horses, Wheat, Cattle, Fish, Iron (not near)

Anglo-saxon OB (not in original MP scenario)
=> Workers : 3 ;Migrant : 7 ; Raiders : 7 ; Curragh : 3 ; 1 town; with barracks, granary & temple ; Surroundings : Furs, Horses, Cattle, Fish, Games, Wheat

So if you don't want to modify this game, the choice for nations is now clear.

Celts are a bit far away from other nations, unless for Rome;

As usual, the map seems rather empty with so few people. At least there is some Burgondians and Allemani barbarians.

Too bad the Anglo-Saxons aren't in the MP, they would be a better comparison than the Celts, but either way is fine with me. I've played this as Vandals before, so I'd like to try something different, Celts or Franks would be fine.

Hey guys. If you are looking for another player, sign me up. No real preference as to the race, but I was able to win on Sid with the Celts by myself. (I would prefer not to be the Celts or the Sassanids). I would also reccomend a very high AI level.
