Hot 8

[hotrod0823]

I have been working on a Mod for England to improve the Man-O-War. Change the Naval movement (Similar to GOTM but not exactly ) and the function of a few wonders.

Is there any interest?

This would be a Standard Map with continents or Peligo with low water.

Difficulty Demi-God or Deity

I will post more specific details later today.

Not looking to start until late next week.

I would like to join.
My vote would be Demi-God.

If we be sailors, then I would vote for Continents, 80% water (but large map). But Standard size, Peligo, low water is cool too.

 

[N0body]

I'd love to play, but I'm new to emperor so Deity or Demi-god will definitely be too difficult.

Good idea though!


[Oops spelled deity wrong )

 

[hotrod0823]

Thanks for the interest RubberJello and Nobody!

RubberJello will add you to the roster and keep you posted as to the progress of the scenario.

As far as difficulty Nobody we really can't drop to Emperor as the crew that has been playing the HOT series has been less and less challenged of late.

 

[Coffee]

I'm interested. I've always had good luck with England.

 

[hotrod0823]

Okay coffee will keep you posted

 

[TedJackson]

I'm interested in knowing exactly what you've done to the Man'O'War

I'm also interested in joining this game. Demi-God or Deity is fine with me.

No promises but it should be interesting. I will get a bit of the details of the modifications up tonight and we can go from there.

I would like to go with a minimum of 5 but we can start with four.

The Game

 

[TedJackson]

Tough start but I've seen worse

The Persians are a bit too close for comfort. We'll need to do something about them before very long.
