I'm not going to hold the game up because of graphics - it looks like we're ready to get started.

Myth if you have time after your work is done would you like to make the image then? I don't think I know anyone else who can / is willing to help...

Also I have been asked why I insisted on playing the Mongols and I thought it deserved a public explanation.

Apart from the fact that it will be fun, the major reason is that for a game like this to succeed the person playing the Mongols must be committed and always around. In the last WotK game the Mongol player had to be replaced halfway through, which worked out ok but was unfortunate.

So I thought it would be best for me to take them given I'm always here and will not leave the game.

Anyway I'm closing this thread now and I'll start the game in a new thread shortly.
