How are new players cycled through KDs?

[Persain]

Is the max 20 provinces rule applicable at the start of a new age? ie: If I take a KD of 20 players into the new age, can I expect up to 5 new additions or will I just keep the same KD mates that I had before?

you can only go over 20 players via invite, if everyone excepts their reservation for next age u get the same 20 people u had this age.

Okay so KD merges and things like that won't push us over 20?

It shouldn't.

i started this age with 6 provs besides myself. we havent had a single new recruit all age. trying to build a ghetto from that low is pretty much impossible without buying a bunch of invites or trying to arrange a merger at eoa then battle out which kd gets the monarchy. i think that if small kds dont get any new players they should get a few more invites or something to balance it out. that way only decent ghettos with good activity and organization that just had bad luck at beginning of age have a chance to build up into a decent kd. when your in that position invites are very scarce indeed. on a good note i will end this age with 17 very active provs so i hope to get a couple more next age then use my invites to get to around 25. it is a lot of work trying to build a good kd but i have enjoyed the challenge so far
