Arckons Next 24Civ Pitboss game; details and discussion here

[Arckon]

OK, you have set up the game and I will have to comply with those settings.

Honestly it's all because my second town is bad situated sourrounded of jungle and with Mystic as starting tech as Aztec I would have had good chances to get one of both starting religions.
So I might don't benefit from this but actually all the things you mentioned are true. Let's close this discussion here before all other 22 try to get some advantages through changing any settings.

Nevertheless I'm looking forward to play that game

You have a point. As the second city would have had some areas cleared, I'll clear three squares around it, but you'll have to use your worker to improve it.

I'll adjust some other player start positions to give them some balance as well.

I just figured out how to get it working. I was trying to start the game from the normal way, without starting it as a mod.

Arckon it seems that you are working hard to please everybody just remember you can't please everybody all the time.

My main concern is that some players will be advantaged by these minor changes you are making. If you have no stone or you are surrounded by jungle that is just tough as far as I am concerned. I mean why can't you surround my cities with gold etc.

My only issue is that my capital location is one space from the coast, yet includes what, 3 or 4 coast tiles in the fat cross? Sure there's a lots of other cool stuff in range, but its a little limiting.

A bit more food for my third city location please

I agree. Lets try to make sure there is no starting location that is obviously not competitive. But lets also try not to remove all limits that starting locations just happen to have to make this game interesting.

I've installed the mod in my mod section and I can lauch the game as the mod. I try to connect to the game using the ip given on page 1 as the address and I start to load the game but I then get a runtime error, any advice?

C'mon, I won the previous game with that start.

I've played that spot in standard SP & I tried both strats & got better results without moving to the coast in the end. It does look so tempting to move though

 

[Arckon]

We have 3 open civs.

Since no one can trade with them, would you guys like to let anyone that really doesnt like their civ to take either Korea, Carthage or the Zulus?

I'd say that that would be fair as long as they come here and post that they took the open civ instead and stated what their old randomed civ's name was so I can alter the list to that one being open.

What do you guys think about that?

 

[basmans_grob]

fine by me

 

[Arckon]

Game has been launched and its on Civstats.

Edit: Civstats has the names mismatched to the civs for some weird reason.



So I will relaunch the civstats and hopefully match everything up again. Dont be surprised to not see your civ listed as having made your turn. I think logging in and ENDING YOUR TURN, lol, might update your stats.

Arckon, Russia is Peter and I requested Catherine. It's also noted as Catherine on the 1st post???

Do we have a password for civstats.

 

[classical_hero]

I have played and finished my turn.

I am sorry John; I will restart the game.

Was it Peter when you checked it out yesterday?


I AM RESTARTING THE GAME.

Please be patient with me while we get this game off the ground.

No password was set for Civstats.

 

[Arckon]

checked CivStats and saw something interesting; its a brand new game and DanDRidge is STILL at the top of the civ list!

What have we got to do to drop that guy below the median score? Not even a new restart does it!

lol, seriously though, I have no idea why he has an extra 20 VPs.

 

[JMaltman]

I played my turn... now about those Civstats passwords? It IS requiring them.

 

[amh52]

Since you offered I switched and took the Zulus instead of Germany.

OK, I will set the player passwords as the name of the civ.
