Pretty please, no railroads, no ironclads and no industrial age whatsoever. Not even Cavalries.

GhengisFarb™ · October 24, 2003, 21:28

I have no problem leaving railroads out as they present the possibility of allowing the first one to attain them a rapid unlimited movement rush over everyone else if they have enough workers.

If you guys are looking to play a Medieval game, there is an amazing mod called MEM (Medieval European Mod) that I play with. I would recommend you use it as a base for your mod perhaps, as it is already in a complete form. You can find it here.

BTW, I would be interested in playing.

GhengisFarb™ · October 27, 2003, 14:27

I think MEM is just a terrain set, isn't it?

Micaelis Rex · October 27, 2003, 17:48

No, it is a complete mod. Complete with custom units, tech tree, improvements, wonders, etc..

Harovan · October 27, 2003, 18:53

It's actually a very good mod, albeit a scary big one.

Brundlefly · November 4, 2003, 10:40

I would like to join this game

A big scary one, eh?

Me thinks you haven't tried DyP.

I tried Dyp once but decided it was too much effort.

Harovan · November 4, 2003, 20:21

Same here.

Brundlefly · November 12, 2003, 12:05

Okay, so are we ready to start this game?

GhengisFarb™ · November 12, 2003, 14:02

I am installing Conquests now. I've heard there are issues with the new way the Palace and Forbidden Palace handle corruption though.

CerberusIV · November 12, 2003, 16:18

I won't have Conquests for a couple of days yet.

Issues about corruption seems to be putting it mildly! I will reserve judgement until I have had a chance to play a SP game though.

Well, chances are very good that you won't be building a 100-city empire in the Middle Ages scenario so whatever issues you've heard about corruption should be somewhat muted in our case, I imagine.

Looks like there are three U.S. players in the player list. Is it possible to choose the order in which the players take their turns? If we begin the game tomorrow, we (U.S. players) could have our first turn movements out of the way just in time for European c3c release date.....

SirOsis · November 12, 2003, 17:38

Are we going to use the MP version of the Middle Ages scenario or something different?

Either way I'm in.

Harovan · November 12, 2003, 19:14

I could have conquests in 1-2 days... but the corruption bug is a HUGE fun killer, so I probably won't buy it.

Brundlefly · November 12, 2003, 19:49

What exactly is the problem with corruption in c3c? Can't editor adjustment be made to deal with it?

CerberusIV · November 13, 2003, 10:55

Take your time setting this one up. I just got notification that the release date for my pre-ordered copy is now 21 November.

Go ahead and buy it, the new features and options add a lot of new game elements. The Age of Discovery Scenario was fun and corruption was very similiar to the Naval PBEM so it is adjustable.

CerberusIV · November 20, 2003, 16:30

My pre-ordered copy just arrived so I am ready to play if there is still enough interest in this one.

marcuspeddle · November 20, 2003, 18:38

I'm ready, too.

GhengisFarb™ · November 20, 2003, 21:54

Anyone up for just playing the Middle Ages Scenario?

marcuspeddle · November 20, 2003, 23:23

That sounds okay. It'll make a nice change from the usual epic game.

Inverse Icarus · November 21, 2003, 00:57

GF, are you going to run two middle ages scenarios, or are we going to mix the games (we dont seem to have a full set @ MZO)

CerberusIV · November 21, 2003, 05:43

I'd be happy to just play the Middle Ages scenario, not such a long commitment as a full game.

SirOsis · November 21, 2003, 11:01

I'd play the ME scenario. What civs are playable?

GhengisFarb™ · November 21, 2003, 13:54

Abbasids (Jerusalem)
Germans
Rus (Russia)
Byzantines
Franks
English
Danes
Corovans

Are we talking about Middle Ages scenario? How is that Jerusalem can be played and what is your goal as Jerusalem?

Don't forget Norway and Swedes. Isn't Castile part of this, too? And Poland?

GhengisFarb™ · November 21, 2003, 14:09

Those are the eight civs in the MP Middle Ages Scenario. You can only have eight civilizations in MP and those were the eight they left in the MP Scenario that comes with Conquests.
