I want to try something new. And to start discussion of the idea with those interested.
The Idea:
A highly diplomacy based free for all multiplayer game. At a slow playing speed, probably epic. The main idea behind the game, is to create stories and tales about your civilization and the other civilizations, barbarians, city states, whatever that you and your civ runs into during the game. Every unit could be its own story even, your first warrior the great William Wallace, or whatever fictional idea you would like to invoke.
Now I believe their should be rules in place for this game to flourish. Every player would play to keep the game somewhat balanced. No wars of annihilation, but rather wars for certain cities, locations, resources, proxy wars, etc. If you try and run away with the game by killing off another player, the other civs would respond by attacking you back.
Now, thoughts on if this would be best played as a PBEM or a Multi Session MP experience? If its MP we are limited to 6 players. With 8 and CS and Barbs on lag will be redic.
If its PBEM I would say we limit at 8. But to start the game we would play out the first 100 turns online.
There would be a separate thread for the stories of this game and all players would be required to write fun interesting stories. It would be located in the storys and tales forum.
So to start I guess: Rule suggestions for the balance of the game?
And sign ups for those interested:
