Many Leaders Game - Discussion Thread

[pholkhero]

Here's the ruleset:

CE players:
* Can never *hire* specialists (only citizens), but free GPs, wonder-based ones are okay, as are using them for whatever ends. However, the SoL and Mercantilism, which *hires* a specialist for free are out. ("if you can't choose it, you can use it")
SE players:
* Can never cottage, and must raze captured ones as well.

Go on, then. Sign me up as Hannibal the CE Animal

 

[Ralph_Jackson]

Well if it's alright with our mighty Leader I will go cottage economy with a seaborne twist playing Hannibal.

Basically a pure cottage economy supplemented by going for Cothons + Great Light House and maybe even Temple of Artemis. Feels very consistent with a cottage economy & I will just pray for a coastal start.

Hehh hands off Hannibal - although admittedly Pholkhero seems to have forgotten my desire to have a CE slot.

Not too great when the organiser forget's his star player, eh?

Ah well, I don't play Vicky that much, so she'll do fine for this game.

 

[Tatran]

So a free specialist you can't choose (like from the salon, industrial park, ToA) is ok,
but everything else (SoL, mercantilism) is out.
And the CE player is free to do whatever with the great person.

 

[Ozbenno]

Is merging GPs OK? Seems a grey area. Otherwise seems fine. PM me if you need any help with the saves pholk.

 

[pholkhero]

oh i see, it's MY fault, even though i've posted several rosters on the last page

Roster:
TriviAl: SE Liz
r_rolo: SE QSH
Ad Hoc: SE Ramesses
Quotey: SE Suryavarman
Kanga Du: SE Peter
Morganknight: SE Fred

Ozbenno: CE Liz
swiss pauli: CE Vicky
The_LastOne: CE Darius
Kodii: CE Dutch
Tatran: CE Wang Kon
Robo Kai: CE De Gaulle
Ralph Jackson: CE Hannibal

and merging is okay.

so, if Imhotep's Immortal game is MLG8, i think we need some sort of Conquest variant for MLG9

Imhotep has sent me a vague proposal (its an Immy special and he didn't want to give away too many details) and it won't be Immortal. I'll leave it to him to leak the details as he sees fit.

MLG6 was conquest (OCC). At this stage, if TriviAl wants to run with his idea, he'll have MLG9, at some stage I'd like to do Always War and Fall From Heaven as well.

MLG8 will feature one of my legendary hand built maps along with a scoring system and quite a few other little tricks. It will have a variant. I won't give away any detail other than that before players have signed up, so as to not spoil the surprise. It's either trust me the game will be pure fun or staying out. Kinda Menu Surprise, if you like, but I will give (almost) full disclosure once the roster is finished of course.

so when is the Unrestricted Leaders MLG gonna be?

 

[pholkhero]

i was under the impression that Mlg5 was AW ~ that's why i suggested the other ~ MLG9 could be AW, i'd sponsor that

@ TLO ~ when YOU sponsor one

edit: or we could fuse that to MLG9 ~ AW, tech trading ON, raging barbs, pangaea map, unrestricted leaders ~ prince or monarch level

 

[Ozbenno]

Not sure about unrestricted leaders on AW. If we do it, it might be better on a "normal" game to see what difference it makes.

Might consider the AW game for MLG9, maybe at Prince.

To lazy to host one >.<

Agreed with oz on this one. And if you don't get first pick of boudica of rome then you'll be pretty disapointed.

 

[Ozbenno]

TriviAl has passed on MLG9 (his idea will be revisited at some stage). What generates more interest out of the MLGers, Always War or Fall from Heaven? Whichever gets more interest in the next week or so will be it (I'll host FfH and pholk will do the AW).

 

[Shadzy19]

Never played FFH and I am a big fan of AW games so AW gets my vote.

 

[Ad Hoc]

i've never played FFH but from oz's current SG it looks quite interesting and different.

it might be good to go with it to avoid MLG burn out as well

@ Oz congrats

 

[Ozbenno]

@ Oz congrats

Thanks!
