DD12 - Build Them All

[Rodent]

Give me Mayans

 

[soul_warrior]

swamps, eh?

could be worse....
ill use those as a wall.

 

[remake20]

Looks like game 2 is also a go.

Cyc (???)
Remake20 (Ottomans)
Rodent (???)
DenyD (not sure, but tribe will be AGR)

I'll need tribe choices and where you live (so that I can set-up play order)



Sorry you won't get a fish or whale at your start (you're not coastal), but how about some nice swamp land with a game or two.

GMT -5, I think it's kind of unfair because you know what the map looks like. So how about you post a download of the map and every body downloads it, and looks at it. So that way you wont have a great strategy that no one can beat. Or you gave all the resources to yourself.

 

[soul_warrior]

remake, welcome to the fold.
have a little faith.
it is a game after all.
denyd will not abuse your tribe (too much)
id also think SERIOUSLY about an AGR civ. in the hands of a human they will demolish anyone anywhere....

 

[denyd]

To compensate for my map knowledge, here's what I'm doing:

1. I don't build any curraghs or extra scouts to speed up my tribe contact (ie tech trading)
2. There are no goody huts within 10 tiles of my starting point while everyone else has at least 2 (EXP tribes get 4))
3. All tribes start on a grassland tile next to at least 2 food bonus & 1 luxury (also on a river)
4. There are at least 2 sources of each strategic resource within 20 tiles of your starting point.
5. I'm last on the turn rotation

I've got plans for an upcoming game in July with the following conditions:
1. No fog of war
2. Space race win only
3. No invasions of human tribes (bombarding & nukes are allowed )

Update: I've completed the map and if you want a custom password send it to me via e-mail otherwise I'll assign you one and send out the map tonight

For game 2:
Cyc (???)
Remake20 (Ottomans)
Rodent (Maya)
DenyD (Iroquois or Sumer)

I'll contact Cyc for his tribe choice. Also if game 2 players have a preferred password, please send it to me. I'm also trying to order the players based on location, so let me know your GMT or the country/state where you live.

 

[Cyc]

Ok, I'll take the Celts.

 

[denyd]

Last chance for those without submitted passwords to pick one before I do (5 hour notice)

Still need:
Knutis
Remake20
Rodent

 

[Rodent]

Pick a Password for me- i am GMT +5.30

 

[denyd]

Ok, Game A has started - please check if everything looks fine to you. If anything is wrong let's fix on turn 1 rather than turn 50

Game B will start tomorrow night (it's a bit late now)

 

[remake20]

Could I reserve a spot for that game in July as Persia.

edit: when in July does it start.

 

[denyd]

when in July does it start.

Probably in the first week, though I'll be on vacation from the 11th to 17th

You're all signed up as Persia

Funny, I'm on vacation till the 15th (all of July and the end of June)

What do you mean we're all signed up as Persia?

edit: I can play on vacation starting the 7th. But not till then. It will probably slow this PBEM down to. I will not be able June 28th till July 6th or 7th. Sorry I wrote kind of redundant.

 

[soul_warrior]

Poor choice of words on my part, what I meant to say is that you have a spot in the July game as Persia

 

[Calis]

Played the turn...

Knutis, please send me your Email via PM. Thanks

 

[Calis]

GPS to Knutis...

Thanks!!!!

 

[Knutis]

got the save, but you'll have to send me my password denyd

Edit: GPS deny

 

[denyd]

Ok, did I mention that I'm kind of a newbee on map making for PBEM games.

Looks like I'll have to send around the new start as there is a limitation of only 8 total players in a PBEM game and since I had 12 tribes (4 human & 8 AI) only the first 8 got placed on the map, leaving Calis without any neighbors and Knutis & I with only 1. That would create a pretty big tech hole for Calis. So I'm going to edit the orignal map and remove one neighbor from each of us (leaving the nasty one of course). This does mean that there will be big chunk of really nice land on each area that is unclaimed and that there are now a lot of extra resources on the map.

I should have both saves out in a couple of hours. Once again sorry for the restart.

 

[denyd]

Ok, both saves are now on the way

I had to adjust the AI to keep a SCI in each pair

Take a look around and let me know if anything looks strange
