Hi folks, I'm going to launch a new Warlords Pitboss game in some days. In difference to most of the other games I play in, this is a complete new challenge which will need some more communication between the players.

The team finding procedure will be the following:

-I wait until 16 players have joined the game
-Then I will shuffle the players and put them together to teams
-Now the teammembers have some time to choose their civs
-When all have done this the game is set up and launched

Current state: Game is full.. Teams choose their civ

TEAM ONE:
GFletch
CB Droege
IanDC
Plattfuss

TEAM TWO:
Oyzar
ahandac
Maydrock
MitiuIoan

TEAM THREE:
classical_hero
bjarkekr
g_storrow
NeoVertigo

TEAM FOUR:
Klammi
Johns
Prinz_Vlad
VincentThe88


I have hosted a seperate board for that game where all players have to register. By setting group-memberships it would be able for all teams to have seperate rooms to make their briefings and open discussion threads for general purpose.

Game settings:

Map: Inland Sea
Size: Large
Climate: Rocky
Sea Level: Low
Era: Ancient
Speed: Normal
World Frap: Flat
Resources: Standard

Multiplayer Options:
Simultaneous Turn
Turn Timer: 24h

Game Options:
No Barbarians
No Tech Trading
Always War
No Tribal Villages

All Victories are activated


Feel free to join, but be aware of that this is not only playing turns... it's a Teamer. You should schedule some time for discussion with your teammates.

All you have to do to join is to make a short post here and to register at the seperate board at:

http://klammi.homedns.org/teamer

Are 16 players going to fit on a standard map?

Are 16 players going to fit on a standard map?

Yes, they do. I set up the game and the capitols still have an accurate distance to each other. I also tried a large and huge map but in my mind the distance is too far. Helping each other would be harder and the game lasts much longer. So I have choosen standard.

Sounds interesting. Sign me up, plse.

Interested

I would like to join.

OK, like I have threaten I hosted a seperate board for this game to enable privacy group-management for the team briefings.

You have to register at http://klammi.homedns.org/teamer in the case you want to join the game.

Thanks so far for the players having joined yet. I hope we fill up the last 11 slots soon so that game can start.

I will join this and Soon I will join that site.

I'm interested. Registered at the site.

I want to join too but i have never played PB before. Is this a problem? How long does turns usually last? hours? days? minutes? Will there be space to build loads of other cities? Anyways i am signing up in the other board.

EDIT: i saw the turn timer mentioned int he orginal post. Ok i am in. Loads of time to micor:D. Realy looking forward to a game like this where you can opimalizise pretyt much everything.

Hi oyzar. It's no problem if this is your first Pitboss Game, you are welcome. As you read the turn timer is set to 24hours. When all players have finished their turn its flipping over earlier.
There will be enough space to build further cities. But since this is standard size you have to place them thoughtful. I suppose 3-6 cities each civ is possible, but we will see.

Yes, they do. I set up the game and the capitols still have an accurate distance to each other. I also tried a large and huge map but in my mind the distance is too far. Helping each other would be harder and the game lasts much longer. So I have choosen standard.

I once again made some tests with the map size. I came to the conlusion that it might is better to set it one step up, since the capitols are very close to each other this might leads to an aggressive start. To avoid this a bit I changed Map Size to Large.

OK I'll join your game ^^

greeds from StudiVz ;)

A warm welcome to Prinz_Vlad in the civfanatics community :goodjob:. I acquired him from a german students board.

Count me in too. :)

But ... only 2-3 days after Easter ... if possible ... ;)

Regards

can you put a list of the sign ups on the OP?

Since not all slots are filled up, the game will not start before Easter. I will be away, too. So earliest start will be in one week.

can you put a list of the sign ups on the OP?

Done, thanks for the hint.

Would love to play.

If you still have a spot left I am in too

Just registered now.

Question: When it comes time for civ choosing, what will determine the order?

what order do you mean?

Order that we pick our civ in.

I'd suggest duplicates allowed but not on the same team ?

I would like to join... If we need to communicate much with team members then it might be a good idea to write our timezones down somewhere and team up by that.

Im in gmt+1

Order that we pick our civ in.
As I wrote in the first post their will be some time for each team to choose their civs. This is done seperate in each team and PMed to me. Then I willl publish the results and start the game.

I'd suggest duplicates allowed but not on the same team ?
Thats also what I thought about. Since the civ choice isn't public duplicates in general are possbile. Duplicates in teams might would not be a good idea, but if any team wish that they should try.

The teams are put together by random. Their will be no timezone check.

What I thought about for balancing the teams is to ask everyone to give a short self-assessment about their skill.

For that I will only ask the following question:

A: Do you rather think you are a noob and hope that their will be someone skilled who coordinate the team

OR

B: You think you are the one to coordinate a team and give hints to the less skilled player.


I will open a new thread for that in our board.

Ah, that answers me. I was not aware that duplicates were possible.

From now on their is only ONE slot left. I will be away till Monday afternoon and might will not be able to quick answer your questions.

By the way I wish you all nice Easter!

Have a good Easter Klammi :) Looking forward to the last slot getting filled and getting this rolling

i would like to join this one

I'm interested...Is there a spot left?

Sorry, cemason, we are full. NeoVertigo got the last slot

Bis zum nächsten mal also

It might be good to have a waiting list of 1 or 2 players in case somebody cant make it.

If a player does not show until Thursday he will get dropped and the players I had to reject will take their seat. This are cemason and Koelle so far.

I'm here boys !! :)

where on thursday?

I kicked ahandac out of the game due to the following reasons:

1. He did not subscribed to this thread with a short post as I told you all to do to join
2. He registered to the seperate board but never has gone their to check the progress
3. I wrote a PM to him and gave him time till today noon to answer, I got no reply.

I will write a PM to cemason. He should take his seat.

Hey-replied to your PM. I'm in if you have the spot^_^

Hey, welcome, Cemason.
Another one together, he. :)

Your account is activated. Welcome to the game!

Hi Klammi,
Looks like i just missed out on this one.I've never played Pitboss before but wanted to give it a try and this looks like a good team game.Do you need any reserves or are you all set for the off? If anyone drops out, i'm available.

I currently play sp on Noble but just moved up to Prince and won my first two games.I'm in uk so on GMT[now BST].Visited your Website which i think is cool.

If i can't get in on the action this time,maybe put me on your list for your next game.THX

You are #2 on the waiting list.

Just to let everyon know, I am still here.

Klammi, sent you a PM.

Good luck with the game.

Just replied to Klammi's PM, hope i've made it in time to take last slot.Registered on private board and am waiting on my account being activated.Good luck everyone,especially team 1!

What has happened to the founder?

what do you mean? have anything happened? the game is running just fine no?

Edit: he got eliminated?

The great Russian empire was extinguished by an Incan tribe that was lucky to find horses right next to its capital. I offered (and am still offering via reload) to wait with the attack on Klammi's last city until one of his teammates can gift him a city but up to now didnt get any response.

Sorry plattfuss, thanks for your offer but I didn't want to take it. I'm dead, that's it. You did a great job surprising me. The game started really bad for me and now came to a fast end. I just connected to the chopper next to me, my spears should kick your ass but popped out three turns too late.

Since Vincent still is on holiday or somewhere else I will play the Koreans until he is back.

Well, thats good sportsmanship from your side. :)

How is this game going? I've never played a pitboss game yet and I'm really looking for a chance to do so.
If you have a minute could you describe how you play your turn, what a turn is like or is it a round?
Is there an available slot?

Klammi! You started a game w/o telling me! :p , tell me about future ones if you don't mind :D

You missed out on a great game.Although Klammi's Russian empire is no more , he did a great job setting this game up.:goodjob:

Just to let my team know i've lost my internet connection at the moment due to severe weather problems storms/floods.Don't know when i'll be able to log in again to take my turns.In the meantime can one of my team mates please take my turns for me.Thanks.I'll get back to the game when AOL restore my connection.

It's covered, thought you might have been hit by that.

Thanks for that Ian.I've just had my Broadband connection restored,hopefully i'll have no further problems.

I can't connect to the game or the team forums, which means that something is down.

thank you for the advice, will fix this immediately

Thanks, things are working again.

For I am here...just in time to get pounded. ;)
I will also join the other forum when I get a chance.

The registration is enabled. Please join our board so that i can disable it asap.

I have been approached to fill a void in team 3, pending approval by all of the members (and successfully passing the drug test and body cavity search, I suppose :lol: )

So that is what the pending registration is about on the .org site.

Are there any rules posted somewhere that I should be reading?

And what would be the process for "jumping in" if I am approved?

Oh, and what Civ version is this (my dual install may come in handy), and are you using any HOF mods?

dV

addendum: It appears that I am the long sought-after replacement for Neo that Classical Hero was refering to on the other forum.

Never done pitboss before, so if there is a primer on the mechanics, that would be helpful too.

We are looking for 3 player who like to sub our inactive players. Please post here or write me an email if you like to join our 4x4 Teamer.

@DV, I was having some troubles connecting to the game, and to the forums, but I just found out that my ISP was having some problems.
