Favorite MP Settings/Rules

Ming · June 24, 2003, 12:05

What rules/settings do you like most to play with in MP games.

rah · June 24, 2003, 12:20

Hmm, what a surprise, I matched you, except for the ones I didn't notice.

Makeo · June 24, 2003, 13:22

ahaha, vive la differance.

Ming · June 24, 2003, 13:53

That's what I'm hoping to see with the survey. I hope all the MPer's that view this forum vote, even if they don't post.

rah · June 24, 2003, 13:56

Give em time.

atawa · June 24, 2003, 16:19

2x2x emp, med island/arch map, 5 players, hutbarbs, no naval wonders and GL, no alliences or techtrading.

Unfortunately there are not much players that will play this setting

rah · June 24, 2003, 17:31

Who knows. By posting it here, some fresh meat may post that they like the exact same settings.

Makeo · June 24, 2003, 17:52

hey atawa with those settings why not make it a stipulation that you have to stand on one leg and close one eye while playing

Also you can only build wonders once they become obsolete.

Hydey · June 24, 2003, 18:33

Interesting results so far

War4ever · June 24, 2003, 21:14

most of mine mirror the rah group, aside from the larger map and x1

Forgot about that, thats only if you play green or yellow though.

Additional I like sim-starts. Simultan playing until first contact with the opponent spends lots of time.

rah · June 25, 2003, 08:11

And our change for Rules.txt is the extension of Oracle to Industrialization. Nice to see High % of Deity.

Yes, that don't know how to play using REAL MAN settings.

War4ever · June 25, 2003, 13:09

BUT REMEMBER , DOUBLE MOVEMENT REQUIRES MORE SKILL

atawa · June 25, 2003, 13:19

Yes, and 2x1x is the most balanced way to play

rah · June 25, 2003, 13:40

.............wait, .................. he's right.

War4ever · June 25, 2003, 17:48

the way to play is x1x1........ but i suppose if your going to play x2x2 it should be done on larger worlds...

small worlds suck for x2 move

atawa · June 25, 2003, 19:01

True, but either 2x2x or 1x1x for me usualy, 2x1x is too much trench warfare with way too many units.

War4ever · June 25, 2003, 19:06

true, but x2x1 just speeds up the techs....for one night games its perfect....

but i am a true x1x1 player.....again, better on a larger world where the terrain is less hostile

That's not a bad suggestion. In fact you could extend it by making it simult until war breaks out somewhere on the map.

Usual settings for the games I host - deity, 1x1x archipelago, slightly larger than small map, no city or unit bribe except against the ai though ai usually not included. Barbs at villages. No alliances but tech trading and other cooperation allowed. Simult preferred but by agreement.

deity · June 25, 2003, 21:08

Hey, I just voted and all my prefs are in the majority categories:
deity/1x1x/villages/med map/islands/no AI/no city bribe/no alliances...
I can now host with broadband so I'll propose to use these popular settings, eg the new Aussie Sat night game

We already played games up to the end simultaneously. With war however confidence and discipline are necessary. There´s a sequence which shows the units may be moved, (normal color sequence). If a player moved all his units, he gives the ok for the next. Discipline is necessary, because also wounded units may not move up to the ok.

rah · June 26, 2003, 08:46

On the small rocks we play on, playing simul till contact wouldn't be that many turns in simul

Alexander's Horse · June 26, 2003, 08:49

the colour order thing was suggested but we lack the German discipline.

rah · June 26, 2003, 09:16

Yeah, we did too. But then I'm only 1/4 German.

atawa · June 26, 2003, 13:10

For MP games it might be ok, but it seriously screwes up teamgames

War4ever · June 26, 2003, 14:39

lack of discipline...haha..... i remember all hell breaking loose playing with markus and simul moves....bloody free for all......

stiill it was amazing how quickly those games progressed......

I don't know about discipline, I think it was more that we couldn't be stuffed
