AUCTION CLOSES FRIDAY NIGHT

HOW THE GAME WORKS:
Each tile produces three types of resources:

FOOD - What people eat, can be sold directly on the market or can be sold through restaurants, etc.

SHIELDS - What you use to build things, can be sold on the market or used for construction.

COMMERCE - Trade goods or general merchandise. Can be sold on the market or through stores.

Special Resources such as Bonus, Strategic, and Luxuries make all production in that tile that corresponds to the resource bonuses to become a related product. These typically have a percentage bonus to their sell price.
For example Wheat give a +2 to food production, therefore all food produced from a Wheat tile is Wheat(food). Cattle gives a +2 to food and +1 to shield, therfore all food produced from that tile is Beef(food) and all shields are Leather(shields).

There is also a fourth resource:

LABOR - Each player gets one Labor to represent the vassals any Lord would have. Additional Labor can be hired from towns or can be bought in the form of additional vassals at auction. Vassals eat 1 food for every 2 vassals that you own. This number is NOT rounded up.

Each turn we produce product based on our tiles. During that trade session we sell or utilize these resources as we see fit.

The Treasury is the fininacial representative of the Government it loans money to the players for their initial land purchase. You may never borrow more money that your land holding's value except for your initial purchase.

For your initial purchase you may buy up to THREE TILES of land. You simply post that you wish to bid whatever dollar amount you wish to bid. The price listed by each tile is the MINIMUM bid required for that tile. Each listing also lists the current production for that tile.

Initital purchases have a GRACE PERIOD of 10 turns. If you pay all debts to the bank in full by the end of your tenth turn you will owe no interest. After the tenth turn the bank will charge you 20% interest on your outstanding debt balance at the beginning of each turn.

BUILDINGS: will cover this later, for now we are merely concerned with land and production. But there will be buildings that can convert your product into refined product to allow you to make more money.

NOBILITY AND TITLES: this is a new element that will be explained later. You will be able to achieve noble rank which will give you percentage bonuses on your transactions.

11 Vassals Available
3 Ottoman Vassals
4 Iroquois Vassals
1 English Vassal
1 Korean Vassal
1 Babylonian Vassal
1 German Vassal
NOT FOR AUTION AT THIS TIME

If you leave for a couple months it might go better if you lease your tile to someone while your gone.

I'm trying to decide if we only want to open up a section or do the whole thing at once.

Epistax · July 26, 2003, 18:44

Heh sure I'd do that. I work full time now, and usually have no internet connection at home.. however I have plenty of 10 mbps free time at work. In a month or so I'll have a different... or back at school... hell yeah I can do it, I'll just be sure to post if I gotta stop

GhengisFarb™ · July 27, 2003, 00:44

Unleash the hounds!

I bid $1100 for E4, $1600 for F7, and $500 for E6.

I changed your bid on G5 and G6 to $500 since that is the MINIMUM bid for those tiles.

K6, K9, K2. $1250 each.

BTW that dark green text looks <sarcasm>nice</sarcasm> on my blue background. I think it's the Moo3 scheme, not sure. Don't change it for me, however. I can just run my mouse over it.

oh, sorry... you should have made that clear... I just thought they were estimated values...

I up my bid for F7 to $2200.

mrmitchell · July 27, 2003, 13:52

Aw, what the hell.

D7, D8, and D9. Minimum bids on each.

(I'm a n00b at this, so what exactly would be a good strategy? Can anyone link me to an old thread where the actual buying and selling was done? I might want to change my bids if I know the game better.)

You can only purchase up to three tiles, did you want to change your bids to these three tiles or keep bidding on the three you already bidded on?

Epistax · July 28, 2003, 11:03

Ghengis, for the sanity of me reading this page, you could just list everything in the initial post, and then edit

I've been playing around with what I suggested. Took me about a half an hour to get php/mysql/apache set up. I'm making sample administration screens (sample means they work, but no effort to make them look good has taken place) such as add/remove/edit users and terrain squares. I won't mind if you decide anything is too complicated or just not worth it, I'm having fun doing it

UnOrthOdOx · July 28, 2003, 11:22

C1, 7, and 8 please.

How much money do you start off with? And I thought it was going to be a DG?

This was to for the current DemoGame, but is somewhat moot now that an overwhelming chunk of the populace voted to restart.......
