C3C Epic 'Vermont' for Newbees

I wouldn't mind seeing this game go. I'll PM everybody who replied and see if they're still interested. Might start a new thread since bathsheba withdrew. Not sure what that means since he wasn't playing in the 1st place, maybe he's withdrawing his support.
 
I simply withdrew the comment I had made at the time. :crazyeye:

One of my other games has bit the dust, and some others appear to be slowing, so I'll make up the numbers here if you are short.

If you have four though, then I will not.
 
I sent PM's to: Drednor, Daddy-O, & JeremiahCivFan with the assumption that azzaman333 is in since he's the one who sparked this thread back. Drednor has already replied that he's too busy, so unless both Daddy-O & JeremiahCivFan post that they want to play at nearly the same time, I think we should go with the 3 positives we have (bathsheba666, azzaman333, & myself) and the 1st person to post that want's to play.
 
No problems, monarch is ok too...

Who will start the game? It would be better, if somebody, who isn't in the game, will make map in editor, because on random map somebody may get good start, with cow, iron and luxes, but other will start on desert or jungles... :)
 
OK, Looks like there are enough to play without me :)

I have not made a map before, but am happy to try.
But it may take me some time to do this.

Also, not entirely sure how you tie together the map and pbem start, so a little research is required.

I may go ahead with this anyway, just for fun and future reference.
In the mean time, if you know someone who can do this quickly, I suggest you go with them. :)
 
To make map, just open an editor, and generate random map. Then correct starting locations, if it's needed: put at least one lux and iron to each start. Maybe add one cow to each...
If somebody starts near fresh water, but others don't, add it. All that you need is to equalize srarting locations...

But I think, that it would be better, if somebody who isn't in the game will create map, because during creation you can see resourse locations, where are other players, and other information from future...

Btw, what map settings we will use? I'd choise standart 60% pangaea, wet, temp, 4 billions :rolleyes:
 
Oz, I don't see how we have enough just yet if you're not going to be in. So far the only positives we have are azzaman333, Smart, and myself. I truly enjoy your posts in PTW 'Beta' and hope that you'll join this one. But if you'd have more fun making the map & watching I understand. We'll just have to wait for another player. It'll give you more time to come up with an interesting one.
 
OK, I can't count :(

Having just looked at map editing, playing might be easier :)

So who do we get a map from? I personally like the idea of random maps, but then I've never had a completely rubbish starting position, but I can see the argument.

So, if we get to the weekend, and others want to join, and we have no map, then I'll make a map and drop out. If we start before then, count me in.

I assume we're having 4ai?

Do you want to start this McLMan?

How about you all send me a PM with your top 4 choice of tribes, and I'll sort this out then publish the results. Same process as PTW pbem Beta.

Are there any expectations here about conduct and rules?
 
Just PM'd my tribe prefernces.

I'm OK with random start if we can't find somebody to provide a map. I don't know any mapmakers, but I might PM 1 or 2 who frequent the C & C forum. Have you asked Rik Meleet azzaman333? Random is ok as long as we allow for someone to call "bad start" within the 1st 4 or 5 turns and then regenerate.

Pangea would be a bloodbath. Might be fun. But I think standard continents, warm, temperate, 4 billion, with 4 human + 4 AI would be my preference. I can't say I feel strongly about the map type, I'd be fine with anything you guys want.

Barbs? Again I'm open. Preference would be one notch below raging.

@bathsheba666 - I wouldn't mind starting if your plate's full, but you're a better ringmaster. (Pun intended re: Avatar)
 
I havet PM'ed Rik for a map yet since we havent really decided the settings. personally, I'd like to play on a Continents Map, 70-80% water, temperate, normal, 4 billion and sedentary barbs. roaming barbs are okay too.
 
Seems to be a majority for Continents, so I'll go with this.
I'd prefer restless baa-baas, although raging in Beta seem barely noticeable....

Smart, do you want to send your tribe preferences to me via PM, and I can settle it?
 
OK,

Smart only sent one preference, rather than 4..

However, unless I drop out and someone else comes in with your same choice, that won't matter.

Azzaman, do you want to email Rik, with your request?

I'd prefer 60%, so shall we say 70%? And restless.

Or if Rik hasn't got it exact, I think we could just take the nearest....

I'm happy to start it...
 
Ok, I'll make a map. Just get some agreement on the settings and who plays what nation and everything you want sorted out before.

Some things to consider:
Statue of Zeus is unbalancing. It better be tweaked (for instance, not needing Ivory) or removed. What do you want ?
SGL's are unbalancing. Veteran PBEM players prefer no SGL's. What do you want ?
Do you want AI in or not ?
etc.

Here is a good website for "How to make a map request". If you check there you are making sure I can give you what you want.

PM me the required information when you are ready. :)
