Admin, map maker

[BCLG100]

I can admin if need be what with my fairly extensive experience MP'ing particularly pitboss. I've also done quite a few maps for MP so can probably help out there if need be. It makes it staggeringly easy to build a map if people actually know what civs etc they want and a whole lot less messing about.

 

[Lord Parkin]

I don't think I'd have a problem with that. If you're up for it, then sure...

 

[BCLG100]

Well if you can get a 'proper' map maker to make a map that'd be better but otherwise it might need say a mod to initially get the ball rolling so people pay attention. Sub-forums might be an idea now as well, get the bonding going

 

[Krill]

BCLG, if you want a hand making the map, I can help out with the balancing and/or overall design.

 

[classical_hero]

I have put my hand up for this already.

 

[BCLG100]

Go for it then I'll play with cdz and maybe krill can help you out?

 

[remake20]

Suddenly my desire to be an admin or map maker is gone. I'll join a team.

 

[DaveMcW]

I'm willing to make a custom map, and admin the game to see how it plays out.

 

[BCLG100]

Well then i think this topic can be concluded now, yes? (to the public at large not just you there dave! )

I assume that i've read the posts correctly and nor do i think anyone would have any problem if krill was made an admin (or at least given the chance to view all the forums) as he is helping out with the map. Whilst i also assume that CH would be helping out with the map/playtesting it but perhaps focusing more on the actual getting the game going whilst Dave focuses on the map initially?

 

[Lord Parkin]

I thought CH said he wanted to make the map...

Either way, I'm fine with Dave acting as admin/one of the mapmakers.

 

[BCLG100]

Oh, well they can work it out between themselves then but someone needs to start doing something to progress the game

 

[azzaman333]

I would be fine with them map making/admining.

 

[classical_hero]

It is pretty hard to make a map without any directions.

 

[Lord Parkin]

Yep, obviously the map making won't be happening until the teams have expressed what kind of map they'd like to see. Of course, most likely we'll end up with a "do whatever you want, within certain limits" as with the last time, but best to check first with everyone anyway.

 

[Krill]

FWIW I wouldn't mind if I had access to each teams forum

Dave, I'll send you a PM on the weekend, hopefully we can discuss stuff then.

It is pretty hard to make a map without any directions.

Dave'll do an outstanding job, especially if it gets sent to you and krill for discussion/revision. All he needs to know is how many teams there are and that looks to be five again.

 

[Lord Parkin]

Actually it could well be 6 as well. I, for one, would much prefer 6 teams to 5, to prevent the "first to a 3-way alliance wins" gameplay in the last demogame. Plus more teams makes the game more interesting.

 

[slaze]

Yeah, and it looks like there may be a sixth from realms beyond. Although that just leaked and needs time to develope.

While I won't have time to participate in the game, I can take a weekend off to hammer through the map as well, if you want another set of eyes on it.

Krill & Dave, after created, let someone (i'll do it if you want) start at random spot versus AI, I can game run it like a GOTM over 30 hours and you can see what assumptions got made then adjust if required. Sometimes watching the first 50-100 turns evolve in the game gives the best feedback. That however can be skewed if you have seen the whole map.

I'm hoping for a huge, if not oversized, map. :>))
