Warlords?

Don't know if Maelstorm is available in Warlord format, but definitely be interested!

RyVor or UM would have to create the game in the game creator for us to play

If one is willing I would play. I think change the draft to straight snake where player one gets picks 1 5 9 16 20 24. Because the old system would give them 1 5 12 which is actually a pretty big advantage

I would play if they are not able to get the mentor game going.  I would be at a disadvantage but I'm OK with that I just want to play Smile

Warlord games (along with Titans and any other custom game) would have to be manually created so everyone would send their choices to a particular person who gathers the information and sends the whole lot to support. Then Rick would create the game on the server using the Game Creation Utility (or I can do it for him if I'm around). Since there's a manual step involved, there may be an extra charge for creating the game though like back in the old days.

As an alternative, a Warlord-like game could be created as a normal Magic-Alliance game using the queue but you'll need dummy players to sign up on your team (queue checks that only a single kingdom could be played per player in a Magic-Alliance game I think). Then after turn 0 files were sent out, Rick could substitute the dummy players on your team to just yourself so a single player could play three kingdoms from that point on.

Warlords is not a game you want to take on as one of your first games.   The pace and tactics are very different than a single player game.   Not to be to harsh but as a new player not only would you get crushed you would likely unbalance the game as someone quickly gets extra territory.   

Though Morgan Kane is listed as an apprentice in the mentor game he was once one of the very best at this format in the 2nd cycle days.
