[BTS] "Almost" deity shadow game

[Tobiyogi]

Hi there,

at the moment, I feel rather comfortable at IMM level, but still I would like to learn a bit more. Is someone interested to play a shadow game with me, with the following settings?

- Immortal "Plus" (it's Deity, but I in the WB file, I erase all the AI's second settler without seeing who the owner was...)
- Random Leader, normal speed, standard map etc...
- Continents or fractal map (ideally something between Iso and Pangea, for the best learning effect)
- Preferably without tech brokering, because my blood pressure raises when development goes too quick

Besides that, I prefer the Bat mod, but I know that not everybody uses it, so would I exclude too many potential players by loading it?
If someone wants to play along, drop me a line and I will be happy to launch a game soon!

Namasté!

I'd be up for it if tech trading is allowed haven't played without before and it would change the play style completely.

The checkbox "no tech brokering" I usually play with allows tech trading in a restricted manner. Everybody can only give away techs he has fully researched on his own. So you can always have your Asth -> Alpha trade in the early game, you can cash in for Philosophy later, etc... I would say, if your playstyle is based on strong research, the "no tech brokering" makes it easier for you because you can much longer keep the upperhand on certain techs, if your research or your leader is only mediocre than you would benefit more from full trading because otherwise, you would run the risk of losing track. I personally don't like when techs make the whole round too quickly, but we can also do it that way. Bat mod is okay?

I'm using Buffy and Bug, or Bug and Bull, not sure what BAT is?

BAT is a standalone mod by the BUG team. It includes BUG/BULL and some graphical mod. It's the mod I use most for casual games.
