I'm up for a game as well.
let us, at least a few of us, try for this upcoming Saturday, probably around 8 am eastern time (meaning, i think, 1 pm GMT).
we could start later if it is preferred of course, but as it takes a while to get a game set up (sometimes), it is good to arrive earlier than necessary to start the game, so that by the time the game starts it can be taken to near completion.
Therefore, if you can't make it as early as 8 am, still try to arrive and see if anyone is online
If a game hasn't launched yet, then there will likely be at least one soul in #erebus (ready to direct people to the game, ideally).

Any time Saturday is fine for me. I'll probably show up earlier anyways 
I could try to be around at 11:00 am GMT if that is easier
depending on the number of players, we may try to recruit up to the 1 pm GMT deadline (8 am US Eastern), but with, say, at least 4 players, we may well launch early.
Still, that is not to say late-comers can't join as Hyborem, Basium, or other AI ....

Yeah good game sorry I had to go but it was fun.
As the Lanun I went OO to start out, then as my fledgling nation was just starting to enter the 'meat' of the mid-game I switched into Ashen Veil and stayed there until the early Late-game. Then, after building my 4 Beasts of Agares and 4 Eidolons, I switched back into OO for some fun Stygian Guard madness
I invaded a tad early due to not wishing to lose Folket to the mists of sleep, therefore I did not have as many Stygian guards, or as many Frigates, as I had wanted to. Also, without Royal Guards, my poor Hemah died to Alazkan the Assassin before he was fully leveled
still, my Agares Beasts swiftly ate Alazkan shortly thereafter
--------------
My army was, I think, perhaps 50% ritualists ... running Sac the Weak + Conquest while Lanun? You can get a pretty beefy military ^_^
I ended up building TONS of ritualists, and quite a few diseased corpses before I switched back into OO. Still, I tend to prefer Stygians to the Corpses, EVEN if you count curing their disease (I could be wrong, its just a simul turn game preference
)
------------
long before my massive land army reached the Svartalfar homeland, I had frigates pillaging the high seas (of the Svart). One such frigate managed to kill 2 Tririme's and a fireball within 1-2 turns, before managing retreat to safe-harbor within Bannor lands to heal and repair.
The skirmishes on the high seas were in some ways the most fun parts of the game (or at least of the war).
Although I must say building up a Lanun economy was quite fun as well.
