LK, what do I need in terms of files and biqs to run this game? I haven't played on your map for years and what I have won't be up to date.

Back to going once...

 

[Greebley]

If someone is interested but can't start now then speak up. I would like to play this game even if we delay the start.

 

[Elephantium]

I'm interested but cautious about the time commitment.

 

[LKendter]

Were you in on of the Rat CCM games? The commitment isn't close to that.

Plus late game, I understand when people do less then 10 turns.

 

[Egir]

Long time lurker here, especially world map games, recently coming back to Conquest after disappointments with other parts of the series.
Playing world maps almost exclusively, mostly Rhye's and Kal-El's.
In the same boat as Elephantinum, worried about the time commitment, recently toned down to 160x160 and 140x140 worlds.

 

[Elephantium]

@LK: In that case, sign me up

 

[LKendter]

I will get this started shortly.

I want to make the change to 2 speed, ignore terain workers before starting. Won't affect much earlier on, but should cut the worker need late game when they get a pain.

 

[LKendter]

Ignore this

LK152 - another world map game. Is there any interest in this?
Last I was the new version of CCM isn't close.
The other option would be another round of CCM with the current version.

 

[Greebley]

Not sure if I want to start another game or take a bit of a break.

I was trying to think of a fun variant to try for the world map. It might be nice to vary it again. Make it non-deity. AW is an even bigger time commitment so probably not that one. Not enough players.

 

[Northern Pike]

This wouldn't be a variant as such, but in trials on LK's map I've noticed that the three South American civs seem very challenging to play at deity. The terrain is difficult; the city sites are correspondingly bad; the AI civs grab the limited land quickly; and the sparse early contacts can leave the player hopelessly behind in tech. Is this a challenge that would interest people? At least it would be a change from the very familiar Eurasia-Africa-some-of-North-America pattern of conquest.

 

[Elephantium]

I'd be interested in that.

 

[LKendter]

I was trying to think of a fun variant to try for the world map.

That was exactly what the last game did for me. We didn't know exactly where the other civs where, and a bit less of autopilot for contacts early game.


I think 4 in the minimum to run anything. Right now I see 3 (including myself) to play in South America.
If Greebley isn't interested in something, I don't think we have enough to start the next game.
