FfH SG: Game for Prince level Fall from Heaven noobs

[fromage67]

Greetings Civ4 community!

This is my first post on this site. I am starting a game for 5 players on Prince level playing the dwarves (Khazad).

I have only played one game of FfH as the Bannor, but I am clearly hooked. In Civ4, I am a Prince level player. I am not looking for a specific type of game, I just want to discover and learn FfH in a fun environment where there will be peer-pressure to not screw up.

I am open to suggestions as to the map. I favor tectonics and realistic terrain, but I am concerned about placement of nodes and FfH special sites. Any input welcome.

Hopefully the tone can strike a good balance between serious play, good storytelling, and humor. Posting your turn with a decent report within 24/48 hours is also good form.

Welcome to the forums, Fromage! First of all, some formal info:
You should register your SG in the sticky thread in this subforum if you have not already done so.

Next, some good hints:
"Dwarves" refer both to Luichirp and Khazad. You should perhaps specify this earlier in the thread.
Select a patch to play with, the most recent ("t") should suffice. If you choose one and tell all the players to keep a copy of the patch installer (which is a very small .exe file, easily shared over mail if needed), you should be fine.
Perhaps post in the FfH subforum; Creation and Customization>Mod Development>Fall From Heaven II.

... That said, I am rather busy with SGs already, but if you look like lacking players, I could be talked into joining. I consider myself Monarch+ though, so leave that for a last possibility.

Good luck in getting this running!

Thanks for the pointers, Diamondeye.

I like Tectonics Lakes for FFH.

Also, try advertising the game here in the FFH forum.

Sign me up. Im fairly new to FFH as well but i just won an emp game and im an emp level player on standard BTS. Iv never played the khazad before but im sure i can pick it up .

As for maps i think tectonics might be better, in my experience erebus either makes really easy or really tough maps (maybe thats my stunted impression feel free to correct me).

EDIT: as for patches im fairly sure im on "t" anyone know where its displayed? if im not then ill update before i play.

Wow, thanks for signing up OJimiJam, I had completely forgotten about this. I was disappointed to find so little interest.

I'm not too keen on continuing, though. FFH has a lot of very interesting concepts, but the AI is brutal in this mod. I have no idea at which level it would need to be played, but in BtS I am a Prince/Monarch player, and I kill the AI on Monarch level in FfH. So much so, that I don't bother playing it any more.
