Islands in the Stream - Turn Thread 2

[Snotty]

Yes, there have been plenty of barbs. I don't know where they get all their gold from but they don't keep it for long

I've got conquests and would be very up for another game.

[SirOsis]

Just need to hear from the hot one.

I was thinking we could do another archipelago with seafaring civs or maybe a random game where we play 2 civs.

[marcuspeddle]

I would like bigger landmasses than we have now but lots of water sounds okay. I'm playing in a game now where each player controls two civs but I don't like it very much.

[Snotty]

70% islands would be fine by me, although I would prefer one civ each.

[Hot_Enamel]

Sorry.. havent been checking this thread.

Conquests PBEM is OK with me. Whatever settings.
I finally installed it, and have had about 10 minutes of play time with it....so I am still a beginner.

Glad to hear there are barbarians.
I dont remember seeing any.

My avatar change is from the Play the World Demo Game.

My team (GoW) is at war with GS.
GS call their knights the chicken warriors.
I thought a roasted chicken might be a nice change for a while.

[SirOsis]

So what do we want to play? I'm up for a random map where we choose our civs. 1 each is fine with me.

[SirOsis]

What are we playing now? What amt of water?

[Hot_Enamel]

Current PBEM has max water

[Snotty]

Random sounds good as well. I would play the Dutch.

[marcuspeddle]

Sumeria for me, please. Are you setting up the game, SirOsis?

[SirOsis]

Let's keep the same turn order therefore hot enamel should set it up.

I'll be the Byzantines.

[Hot_Enamel]

Anybody can set it up.
And we can still maintain the turn order.
Just different starting positions

But can we confirm the settings

World Size : Small
Barbarian Activity : Restless
Land Mass : Archipelago
Water Coverage : 70%
Climate : Random ???
Temperature : Random ???
Age : Random ???
Difficulty : Monarch ???

All victory conditions On
Culturally Linked Starts Off
Allow Cultural Flipping On

Hot_Enamel : Scandinavia
Masuro : Sumeria
Snotty : Dutch
SirOsis : Byzantines

[marcuspeddle]

I would like the same amount of water with larger kand masses. But if everyone wants archipelago then I'm okay.

[Snotty]

All looks good, how about random land mass then? Maybe you can roll a dice so we can have 70% water for sure.

[marcuspeddle]

How about going for the middle land mass? Continents (Is that right?).

[SirOsis]

I'd like random landmass with 70% water. Small or Standard map? I'd prefer standard but small is ok too.

[Snotty]

small please lads, standard and we will be rexing for ages.

Another option, if we can wait a couple of days...
I can get a map maker to generate a map.

Say...
Archipelago world, but he then he adds some more land around the starting positions.
We end up with 2 equal continents (with 2 players on each continent)
Some islands
And some 1 or 2 tile islands that we can use to hop to each continent ?


That will ensure no-one has a 6 month isolated start.
And 3 players are not crammed onto the one landmass no bigger than my backyard.

[Snotty]

Sounds like a good plan. Im all for someone tweaking it to improve it, as long as the randomness isn't too lost. I look forward to facing those berserks, mean mofos in the middle ages conquest.

Turn Sent

I will see if I can organise someone.

- just to make the land distribution what we want.
- No resource reallocation

[Snotty]

[Hot_Enamel]

OK - Is this the sort of game we are talking about ?

This is an Archipelago world with 70% water.

It took me about 2 minutes in the editor, to give the top central start and the central east start a little more land.

And also to shave off some land from the other two.

I did not touch the resource allocation. Just the land.



If this is what we want, I will get a map maker to set up a game.
If you want more defined continents & less islands, or more water & smaller islands, or an island each, or whatever, just speak up.

Regs

[marcuspeddle]

That looks okay to me. As long as three of us aren't crowded on one little island.

[Hot_Enamel]

Map Maker has been contacted...awaiting response.
Post any requests/changes in this thread.

Awww... That has made this game very interesting from the beginning. How about 4 of us on a small island. lol

Anyway the map looks good.

[Snotty]

Yep, thats the right idea.

[Panzer32]

The person setting up that they cover up the map in the bottom right hand corner so they don't see the land.

I just took a random 70% water setting and played around with the land a bit so you have some room. I had a look at your current game and this should have more room

(I would love to play a game like the current one you are playing though )

edit: if you want something different, don't feel you have to use this one. I just whipped it up in a couple minutes.

[SirOsis]

It's to you Hot Enamel to set up. We should probably start another thread.

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=103576

Good luck. Should be quite interesting!

Too bad 3 of us won't share an miniscule island. lol

[Hot_Enamel]

Thanks Panzer.

I will start the game up tonight. (in about 12 hours)

[Snotty]

Thanks for that Panzer.

I just started a practice game as the Dutch, and had a really terrible start. I've taken this as an omen so could you change my civ choice to Carthage. Thanks
