I would love to play, but Emperor is a bit above my current playing ability . So good luck!

 

[Shillen]

Server is too busy. Please try again later. :rocket: :flamedevi

Now that that's out of my system I'd love to play in this one! That's my kind of map and I'm all for American Pride.

 

[bewareofgnomes]

well, we could go down to monarchy. i will set up a poll between monarchy and regent after while

 

[LordMongoose]

If you're gonna reduce the diff, I'd recommend monarch. Regent is too easy .

 

[Shillen]

I'd prefer emperor but I'd still play on monarch. Regent is out for me though. You just posted this today, give it a couple days for people to respond.

 

[bewareofgnomes]

wait, is it possible for me to insert a poll, or do i have to start a whole new thread?

 

[LordMongoose]

whole new thread.
just change the description to Monarch if you want. Regent is waaaaaaay too easy.

 

[bewareofgnomes]

yah, ive decided against regent. will make a new thread later on tonight

 

[Grimjack]

I would like to sign up for this.

Have decent record on Monarch, but no experience on emperor. Will play emperor if you will let me though.

[bewareofgnomes]

yah, i myself actually dont have a win on emporer, but i can tear **** up on monarch

 

[Bam-Bam]

Figured I'd post here as well--and I VOTED

I would love to join at either diff--have enough confidence at monarch, but think that a stretch to emperor would be a noble goal.

I have found that pushing the envelope is the only way to get better.

A couple of questions:

Are there any particular victory conditions we are seeking?

Are you familiar with the Realms Beyond site and its description of tactics (Realms Beyond Description of Tactics) ? (note to mod--I have no affiliation with that site--just trying to set up whether we plan to follow a certain ruleset). I agree with them on avoiding the listed exploits--but want to make sure all are on the same page.

Are there any other rule variants that you are looking at?

Thanks, and I hope I can participate. And we can take it to the AI !

 

[LordMongoose]

I say we play honorably: No exploits and no dastardly tactics. Other than that, just win.

 

[Bam-Bam]

That does change things a bit. I was not anticipating a completely honorable game (not talking about exploits ).

I haven't yet tried a completely honorable game yet--can't seem to resist the urge to take the to the AI. Either way--sounds like a good game.

I suggest that we may want to try completely honorable on monarch first, but your call.

 

[LordMongoose]

I've played to a totally honorable Domination win on Monarch as the Arabs. It's not that hard.

 

[Stormrider]

I just voted for Emperor. I am in if you have room

 

[bewareofgnomes]

yah, you can join. all victory conditions are set. what exactly would dishonoralbe be?

 

[bewareofgnomes]

o, i just saw the link and read the rules. we will loosely follow them, mainly not doing the exploits. if you have any questionss, just ask me.

 

[bewareofgnomes]

the way im going to work this is whoever replies first, plays first.i will make sure everyone plays once before somone can play twice.

the players are (Tell me if u want to leave or be skipped)

[LordMongoose]

Count me out. Emperor is too hard for me at this time.
