IOT Developmental Thread

Looks like my mini is going to be short, as the world is very crowded and wars are breaking out. Who wants to host the next one after mine is done?

I am not going to, however I think next time we should do something unusual, either:

1. Japan during the Shogun Wars,

2. Another Napolean Europe one (That one really would have been better as a mini)

3. Native America (That idea was really good until Bobtjoe was banned)

4. Medieval Europe (Plus the Middle East and North Africa. This may be too big but I don't really think so.)

I was also thinking of the prospect of a Japan IOT.

 

[Mathalamus]

a japan IOT?

hmm... its research potential is zero (japan still exists) but it sounds fun.

 

[GhostWriter16]

I was also thinking of the prospect of a Japan IOT.

IMO it would be a good idea.

If I don't get a replacement by tonight, I'll get rid of all his lands.

I am considering starting a game with the original IOT rules but with Diplomacy (Board game) style warfare. Would anyone be interested in joining.

 

[W|M]

is it really complex?

 

[ilduce349]

Diplamacy is simplistic compared to Imperial

 

[W|M]

I'll see what it's like, and might join if I'm interested.

Meh, I'd rather just play diplomacy.

 

[ilduce349]

But (once I finishing choosing the supply centers). This will be like diplomacy but with 2-600 supply centers instead of 34 and with IOT aspects in it as well as Stability (so the game doesn't turn into a try to expand quickly game were someone using tactics takes over the entire new world or something).

Hey guys, I'm thinking of hosting a major IOT iteration some time in the future.

It'll probably be similar to the IOT Beta that's out right now, with some other features added.

Just gauging the waters right now: would anyone be interested in this?

 

[Tee Kay]

I'll play.

 

[Mathalamus]

the more complicated the game is, the harder it is to maintain it.

 

[W|M]

, I prefer simpler IOTs.

 

[Arakhor]

the more complicated the game is, the harder it is to maintain it.

I agree!

 

[civplayah]

And, speaking of simpler IOTs...

I think the minis aren't quite a failure yet, but there's got to be some new rules to activity or something.

After mine's over, who wants to host the next one and in what region?

 

[civplayah]

I'm, once again, looking for reserves in my game.

 

[ilduce349]

The simpler IOT's have been more successful they have been in the past.

 

[Mathalamus]

yeah, IOTVI reached its conclusion and IOTII will also reach the conclusion when Tanicus gets any ideas how.

IOTV started, and ended barely a month later.
