Makes no sense.

Half-Viking here.
And I shall choose Viking as well. Hope you got a good pair of numbers.

Alliance picking will be a strange dance...the stuff in the thread anyway. You can't tip your hand too much, but you don't want to be left alone either. A few will jell with these initial PM chains, but those that misfire are at some serious risk of being alone.
This is definately true. I think there will be some loners, many small and unstable alliances and then the big 4 man group that rest of us will have to figure out. This is where the town vs mafia aspect of the game comes in. The advantage here is that some players in fact are more likely to be a part of a big group than the rest of us. These are the players we need to be voting off.

Vikings are OP in a historical sense, not in AoE II or in this game.

Hi everyone. Almost forgot I signed up for this but lets get to it, this mafia variant looks awesome.
I think we should choose the Black Forest because it looks like the coolest map.
As far as allies go, I'm a guy who believes in free markets, minimal defense spending, and a reasonable safety net coupled with legitimate counter-cyclical fiscal/monetary policy.
If we have things in common, maybe we'd make good allies.

I think we should lynch Blazinghand for calling me lame.

I see all of you are pretty busy in PM land, mmmhhhm. So any gossip?

Mt choices are in, and I took [1][1] cant let any other greedy pigs get it!

I'm not busy in PM land; there simply isn't much to say at this point.

To be honest, I'm not really sure what we are going to be talking about in the coming days; have there been multi faction games in the past with no uninformed majority?

[20][19] seems a bit safer no? Or [20][20] ignoring WIFOM.
