Democracy Challenge

[donsig]

Do you want the honor of organizing that, or is it fair game for anyone who wants to get it started?

I think it's fair game and can even be a community effort. I'd like to play in it anyway! My PBEM is experience limited. (Actually non-existant for .) Is there anyone who makes maps like Rik Meleet does for Civ III? Do we need a map made or can we trust the game to make a fair start? We'd need the same save for multiple games. We need a thread or two dedicated to setting it all up. One for people to sign up, another to discuss game settings, etc. I think if we gave all these threads a common label (like DG PBEM Tournament: @@@@@@@@@) we would not need another sub-forum.

What do you think?

Can we trust the game to make a fair start?
No, especially a lack of strategic resources can ruin a game. The only mapmaker I know of is Sirian, but I think Lord Parkin/Emperor has made maps too. We could PM him, I think he'd be willing to make one.

We would not need a sub-forum, we can just use this forum IMO.

balanced starts settings will be fair.... if i am not mistaken all of the resources are within 8 -15 tiles of your start.

 

[DaveShack]

I was really asking about who was going to start threads -- which I see has happened so we're good there.

 

[dutchfire]

Please send the final save file and the replay file to evldrunen@msn.com when you're finished. That way I'll be able to see who did best and I'll be able to post the final results. You've got plenty of time to do so though.

Did you use a complete custom map or does it resemble Earth?

 

[dutchfire]

Custom map, basically I randomly regenerate a few times until a found a map that resembled the "real" map, and then I edited it a bit.

dutch I am not done I hope to finish it today or tomorrow.

I will post a big spoiler with everything in it I think. I prefer toplay thatn post snippets since my time is short supply. I can post form work but i cant play from work.

Whens the deadline otherwise? I am taking my kids to the zoo on Sunday and trying to finish building my fence so my plans may go haywire.

No hard deadline that soon, if you can do it within a week or two, then that's fine with me.

 

[robboo]

defintely in a week

Well, I won't be able to play this. Every time I have a chance to play I tend to play HoF submissions. Guess I might as well go read the spoilers.
