Thanks! It was based on the feedback from the 'planning games in advance', and I think the predator discussions increased the interest. I will also try to get the COnquest / Predator class details out sooner too.grs said:@ainwood: Just a personal opinion, but I think this month you did set us up perfect for a pre-game discussion. This regards not only to the ammount of information given, but also to the timing of giving it

SirPleb said:I'm going to play Open class this time and take the "Ancient Age conquest" challenge
The ancient-age conquest conditions that SirPleb is pursuing are probably much more of an obstacle than the predator conditions I've imposedsolenoozerec said:O my... (Ainwood - look what you did!).
I was just about to post a question addressed to SirPleb asking him if he is still planing to go for conquest with such predator conditions.
I hade no idea that SirPleb will break the rule.
Welcome to Open class - SirPleb
I want to note that my going Open isn't related to the current discussion about Predator class. I just want to try this conquest with ancient units challenge while there's a chance at it (a Regent game) and I'm not brave enough to try it with this month's Predator obstaclessolenoozerec said:I was just about to post a question addressed to SirPleb asking him if he is still planing to go for conquest with such predator conditions.

Don't read too much in to what I posted. I was simply meaning that by constraining himself to the ancient age, this is a bigger obstacle than I could have provided under predator.Lord British said:It sounds a little like Iron and Horses could be in very short supply
Or perhaps we are on an island surrounded by ocean, and the rest of the civs are on the Pangea!
Sirpleb - still going with ancient age conquest or has ainwood put you off?
sheesh, posted too slow.

"Tradition" means it gets posted about 7:00 PM NZ time on the 1st = (about) midnight on the 30th / 31st Central US time. That's the time zone for the server. Also means I don't have to up 'til midnight to post, and that I can post it when I get home from work, which is always useful.jordanandsteph said:Isn't it October 1st yet somewhere
Xarin said:I was under the impression that expansionist civs couldn't get barbs from a hut period. I've certainly never seen it happen.
I've been playing around with this a bit today, and think that emperor-level free unit support might be a bit unbalancing. I will reduce it to Monarch free support.ainwood said:Edit - Ignore previous silly comment.
Conquest class: Start with a second scout (normal, not chasqui). They also get an extra 50 gold.
Predator class: AI Unit support increased to emperor level, All AI Start with 4 defensive units and 2 offensive ones.

ainwood said:The key thing will be to prevent the AI getting too far into the middle-ages, and any civs that have a 3-defense UU (carthage, rome, greece etc) could slow things down as well.
