I agree with black_adder. The player with the fastest reaction time has the advantage. This means that the host will always have the advantage. This is an exploit. Exploits need to be discouraged.

I disagree about the timer. Changing the timer speed will not affect anyone very much during the Ancient Age. My style of play has few variables. ie) build granary, grab land.

Accelerated production, however, speeds the technology race and builds the economy sooner. I see this as having the greatest effect on the game's pace.

Revised game plan:

Acient Age.........turn based, accelerated production.
...................mode or modes for Medieval Age open for discussion.

Player availibility:

Neomega........still to decide
black_adder2....Mon., & Tues, this week only, Mon-Thurs afterwards.
Quillan.........Mon-Wed.
Harsh...........Mon-Thurs

If we are to play the schedule looks like, Mon & Tues this week, then Mon-Wed afterwards.
Again 2 - 3 hours per night, given Quillan's 9:30 start time.

Anyway, I'd love to have 4 players. I'm thinking 4 players and 4 AI makes for some intersting play.

I'm fine with accelerated, it does speed things up, but i really am not interested in a turn based game, with 4 players once we get into the 'meat' of the game, even still in the ancient ages, we'll be waiting 15+ min every turn... in a 2-3 hour game, this is prohibitive.

Oh, btw, your style has only a few variables? watch out, some games don't play out that way! i've been in a few that lasted literally an hour.

Hey Quillan,

I don't know how to respond. Are you saying that turn based and a fast timer is acceptable or are you saying that turn based is unacceptable?

I really don't feel that the early going will take as long as you think. However, in order to catch all the possibilities, I left the door open for the next age.

Regarding your 2nd post.....if you want to know all my strategy you'll have to play.

I'm really not interested in turn based... i'll be in the room soon and we can discuss... and no worries, i'm sure i'll get to know your strategies well over the coming weeks

bumping this thread; FYI: Coffee and I are in a good game now, into our 3rd hour of playtime... but I would be happy to start another one if we can get a 3rd or even 4th human - as long as everyone uses msn or aim (preferably msn) then we can coordinate.

I'm in...terested. stagnate@bigsky.net
civStagnate on aim
civstagnate@hotmail.com on msn.

Using trillian so they are identical, don't stay online all the time, so email me about potential times, other than that I've added everyone indicated here and will just see what happens.
