Civ4 Warlords - OT game?

[BCLG100]

Balanced- it means all of us will have a reasonable start and 18 players on a huge map will mean there will still be wars over resources

Balanced sounds fine by me, and random works for me also. Test turn worked out okay for me as well.

bumpety bump

 

[Dr. Yoshi]

Well since I'm out of the other game, I guess I'll join this one. I just need to buy the expansion from Fry's on my way home to work.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

What happens with difficulty level, btw?

 

[BCLG100]

it affects tech speed/city happiness/health/ barbs

i think thats what you wanted answered?

Was more what the difficulty was?

[Kan' Sharuminar]

IglooDude ... Can you PM me the IP adress and PW. Im buying the game after supper and I will be able to test the game tonight.

I'm going to be able to yse the smiley I designed

 

[Raisin Bran]

Tested it .... the game crached twice bevore I was able to enter the game.
all went well after that !

No prob in single player tough.

 

[Raisin Bran]

Is the testing run done?

When is the game starting?

Do we have a theme for factions legions and connexions?
Cuz I'm not creating a faction of my own, I seem to be a great target for anybody, Ill just join the biggest faction.

I can still make flags if people want to. (I like doing that)

 

[Truronian]

I think this time we should wait until we are in the game before making factions... the LAoD got lucky with our positioning .

Or we could play teams.

 

[Raisin Bran]

Teams seems fine with me. some way to balance it all out.

 

[BCLG100]

I like playing it without set teams and making alliances/whatever in the game...

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I'd rather play without teams until the game starts.

After testing this out, I've found that all balanced will actually give is a guarantee of iron and copper within 4 squares from the capital. You can still get terrible starts (I saw a peninsular start with some delicious clams, and nothing else in the start city radius).

Also, Balanced only produces Pangaeas, which are very boring maps (IMO).

So, I propose a Fractal Map with 6 random preset teams of 3 (if 18 players), with the resources on Balanced (although if teams, I wouldnt mind having Standard).

Nope they really dont im in other pitboss games for regular civ4 so unless they changed it twice i have been without copper anywhere near me.
