Thuesday night eurotime diplo. - Page 3

VetLegion · September 1, 2003, 20:15

I am flexible about all rules except 1x1x, I don't think diplo can be played with anything else.

Uh and this probably means I have to install ICQ, is that what all of you are using?

winzity · September 2, 2003, 01:53

but OK you can equally well do it if you play something else than 1x1x deity random map. I have so many games to play so I have no need to compromise to less interesting settings...

I am still interested on both tuesdays and thursdays.
Please tell me how it will be!

I would be happy to start already today!

I prefer tuesdays. I don't want to play longer than midnight (GMT+1) so please start each session as early as possible.

Atawa proposed that we begin in a week, on 9 September. This should give us ample time to agree on the settings and the rules.
What about time limit per turn?
I think 1x1x deity would be the best, but let’s see what the others are saying. It’s a majority vote, after all.

And I could also begin today, if all the others agree.

atawa · September 2, 2003, 02:47

1x1x deity works for me.

City bribe is way too cheap, I hate conquering a city and seeing it bribed back for 27 gold......

Added Winz, sorry mate.

Ljube · September 2, 2003, 03:53

So, do we start tonight on in one week?
Time limit?

VetLegion · September 2, 2003, 05:45

I would like to start today too

I can be there 20:00 GMT+1 onwards.

ljcvetko, I believe this is played without time limits.

atawa · September 2, 2003, 11:07

I can play tonight but not sure about Winz and Germanos.

We play without time limits, just micromanage on someone else's turn.

germanos · September 2, 2003, 13:55

I could start today as well, but next week is fine with me.

Deity 1x1x is my preference (never played anything else

)

No city bribe, no GW is basically all I want, and Rah rules, although I don't know them by heart. (BTW, including the changed rules.txt to increase the duration of Oracle?. I would be fine with that, but can do without)

VetLegion · September 2, 2003, 14:03

I have installed ICQ and my number is 270766668. And I am online. I should not be the host in any case since I am on 56k, but contact me if we are going to try this tonight, I'm ready.

atawa · September 2, 2003, 15:44

Ok, we are starting next week.

What map do we want to play on?

I like the HOTW idea of putting civs on their historic spots. Makes it possible to play as Khmer starting in SE-Asia

VetLegion · September 2, 2003, 18:17

Ok, let's use HOTW map then. Where can I get that map? It is ok to get familiar with it before game, right?

VetLegion · September 2, 2003, 19:51

I have gone through RAH rules. Most seem reasonable right now, but I would like to voice my opinion against pre-worked settlers being allowed. It would just bog down the game more and we are already looking at some serious micromanagment.

atawa · September 3, 2003, 05:36

Pre-worked settlers are only used for instant forts usualy, no biggie.

Ljube · September 3, 2003, 08:48

What about food caravan trick?
I suggest we ban food caravans in their principal function (delivering food) and allow them only for wonder construction.

VetLegion · September 3, 2003, 14:00

If it is only used for instant forts, ok.

What about clearing settler orders each turn? As per RAH rules it is allowed despite increasing settler productivity by a factor of two. I propose we forbid this, if nobody does it, nobody is worse off and our turns will be shorter and more fun.

Ljube · September 3, 2003, 14:30

Yes, I suggest we ban all of that stupid micro-management that kills the game.

Canceling orders for settlers each turn ?!

What else will they think of?

By the way, I never build settlers. For irrigation that is.

I see no reason why I can't cancel my Settler orders during other peoples turns

VetLegion · September 5, 2003, 17:05

This discussion is going at a really slow pace..

What about Civ Manager by Xin Yu? I used it in Red Front scenario and it was very useful there. Do we allow it here?

Also, what is the reasoning behind 3 wonders per person? Though I don't have a problem with that, if it is decided.

Do we need more rules..? Attacking, defending? How many turns notice before attack? How many max cities taken per attack?

VetLegion · September 5, 2003, 17:07

What about alliances? Will we go 3 vs 3 or three alliances of 2?

Ljube · September 5, 2003, 18:52

Civ Manager is OK. Some people say it can save time. I don't have enough experience to tell.

If we have 6 players I suggest 4 wonders each, plus 3 wonders that anybody can build: Apollo, Manhattan and Eiffel.

Watch out if Spike plays... he might beat you to the Eiffel...

VetLegion · September 6, 2003, 11:35

We can redefine Eiffel to be something meaningful

ljcvetko send me an email asking about my real2.scn - I posted maps in another thread. He thought it would be good as a a diplo scn and I agree!

I haven't got a zipping program installed so I'll post the component files here (unzipped)

The files need to be put in folder called real2 in your scn folder.
