NES: Do you like Moderation?

[SKILORD]

This has NOTHING to do with the vote in SNESA but i want to see if you guys prefer moderated or unmoderated NES's.

Discuss why below.

[civman2000]

I support it, but I don't see how it would "add new levels to the game"

[Tarquinius]

I support it too, because it is just silly that you lose a great part of your country just because some other guy said he won a great battle. I am happy to relinquish some freedom for that

[Messer Niccolò]

I don't know what this is about....

[SKILORD]

that's ok Messer.

New levels means for instance: Secret Service

[civman2000]

nah...i dont consider that any different than the combat being more fair. SOme of the details proposed in SNESA are not general moderation but a few details in that specific NES.

[trickey]

i think that a nes is about a unique story. if you want alot of moderation, play the actual game.

[SKILORD]

good point

[Metaliturtle]

That's about the most meaningful reply you've ever given Trickey

[trickey]

thanks.... i guess

[Thrusters]

URG..


LOL

Nice steal trickey that was my original comment in skilord nes that just died.





PS. make up your own quotes/comments.

[Thrusters]

Hey!! wheres the i don't care vote.....lol...............

[trickey]

you just type a bunch of jibberish that no one can understand so sorry if i stole it cause i couldnt read it.

[Samuel Johnson]

I don' think the NES format really works and will be made obsolete by multi-player capabilities. Then the ghost in the machine becomes the moderator.

[SKILORD]

i have an example of why MP won't make it obsolete:
My Star wars NES at CFC

wait till you see my next NES here No Moderation and IMPOSSIBLE for the real game to imitate!

[trickey]

excellent! start it soon please and reserve a spot for me

[civman2000]

I'm working on an nes too! It should be quite balanced, i hope. It's meant to mirror how a map with correct starting positions would go if:
1. there was no war
2. ICS was curbed a bit.

I go through each civ and have them expand a bit. Then i repeat and so on until all territory is taken. I still have a lot of work left (takes forever ) but might have it over the weekend....although I do have exams coming. Interesting things so far:
1. Iroqs have kept the Americans almost completely east of the appalachains.
2. Europe is very crowded. Although Germany got a big part of Europe, it's surrounded now. They tried goin to Scandinavia, but Engalnd and Rusia just finished taking it. Greece just got cut off by Russia from expanding into Asia, and France and Rome have already starting going into Africa.
3. Babylon and Persia quickly esablished a border. Babylon is now trying to squeezw through the caucasus and get into asia before russia cuts them off.
4. Japan has gotten Korea and much of the Manchuria area. They will split Northeast and east asia probably.

The best off so far (not in any order, just a list of those that have lots of room):
1. Aztecs
2. Iroqs
3. Russia
3. Zulus
4. Egypt
5. Persia
6. India
7. CHina

Expansion across the sea takes longer, though once there is a bit of territory on an island/continent expnasion gets up to almost full speed.

[civman2000]

Oh, and please I don't want to say much more until I start it. No claiming civs until it starts, please. I will have a few rules and it will be unmoderated unless people disobey them.

PS: MP will make it obselete, yes, but that's 4 or 5 months from now...

[SKILORD]

mine will start this evening look for SNESA2: Ad Infinitum
Nations Include:
FLS: Free Lunar States
USA
Canada
Democratic Union of Russia
New Incan Empire
African Confederation

And More! just wait! (no-one can be reserved, wait for it to start)

[civman2000]

Lunar States? Sounds interesting!

[SKILORD]

the big problem has been finding maps of mars and the moon that i can paint on yeah.

The Lunar States are only part of the real fun

i'm getting ready to start it now.
