Civilization IN SPACE!

[gpcii]

Thank you again. You have explained things very well.

 

[Tigranes]

so unless someone else speaks up we will go with the following:

I strongly recommend to start with Advanced start (same as in tfwbtbt) it will take as a year to develop few systems

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I'm not even sure if that works with this mod. Besides, many players here aren't very experienced with this mod yet, and they could use the extra time getting accustomed to it.

Btw, how about no tech brokering?

 

[Tigranes]

Its a standard thing in PBEM -- no brokering!

Knoedel, for the next 13 turns we will be playing with 1 unit. It will take 30 turns before one colonizes second star system

 

[kiwitt]

Can I suggest we select "quick" setting.

 

[Tigranes]

You both are right. There is no advance start option and I am guessing no espionage either. And yes quick option is a good idea, to make this game more dynamic and intense.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

There is Espionage, passive at least.

I think Normal is quick enough.

 

[Tigranes]

Did not see any building producing spy points. Palace does not give any points, no slider...
What is wrong with quick?

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Capitol does indeed not give Espionage Points, but there is the Security Agency building which provides one per turn and +100% Espionage. The Police State civic gives a faction wide boost of 20% to it and of course there is a slider too.

It´s too fast.

Sooo... Any ideas on where to get the eighth player from?

 

[Tigranes]

Fast is good, with 8 players it will be VERY slow, 1 turn per week, at best! So fast is good.

I Just emailed Alvarez (the new guy from brazil) -- let's see if he is willing and able!

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

For the last time, eight players is not a lot, and it is not going to take forever. >.< Eight players is slightly above average, yes, but that's still less than half the number of players of my very first PBEM. I'm pretty sure we can manage 2-3 turns per week easily.
Btw, would you guys mind naming your time zone?

Alvarez? You sure you're not mixing up the game and the forums?

 

[kiwitt]

<--- gmt+12

 

[gpcii]

Eastern Standard Time (EST) = GMT-5
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) = GMT-4

 

[Tigranes]

Eastern Standard Time (EST) = GMT-5

I know his last name coincides with the game's

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Did he reply yet?

Nighthawk would love to join, but unfortunately he is way too busy as it is.

 

[Nighthawk419]

Sign me up! Things have changed with me so... yeah sure I'll play. Check out the temp leave thread for details... and I'll read through this thread shortly.

 

[Nighthawk419]

And Herc took the halis from me, I wanted them. I'll take the Avowers.

For the record, I have never played the original mod, and most likely won't before we start. I'll work on getting the new mod installed. I fully expect to be horrible in this one, so I will vassalize quickly with the right offer

*takes note*

I will soon update the first post and prepare everything for launch, stay tuned.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Aright now that we have every slot filled it is time for a last-minute checkup before I finally launch this game in twelve hours. If you have any objections, speak up now or forever hold your peace:

Not sure about the turn order yet because something is fishy here: How can Eclipse and Tigranes both live in the same timezone when one is from Ohio and the other from Armenia?
