MP Game - RewriteHistory - 18civ EARTH map historical start position

[zenspiderz]

Well you should also have sources of Incense since that is traditionally where it is found.

True.

BTW .. Worldbuilder is a PIG!! I just tested the map and found that despite the option for village huts being disabled they are still on the map . I guess because it is premade map. so now I try and manually delete them with worldbuilder but the erase function is ********. It deletes EVERYTHING on the tile. Ok so what, just paint the deleted forests and resources back in BUT it also deletes RIVERS??!!!!. Trying to paint rivers back in with worldbuilder is even more ******** than the delete tool. You have NO control at all of where the river will be placed so I end up with spagetti like mess of river. Which means I have to delete even more areas of the map and start again. Whoever wrote the WB program deserves shooting.

I found a better utiltiy called Mapview. But the updated version doesn't WORK!!!!!!!

Just leave the huts in is the easier option.

I don't mind huts being in either unless the majority is against it as long as they are spread out and don't give anyone a specific advantage. I quite enjoy the huts little gifts...

I do have quite a big handicap actually, I start on the rather dry deserty arabian pennisula, expansion west is blocked by egypt, expansion east by persia, north by ottomans, and south (east coast of africa) by water and the zulu. I will very likely be boxed in quite early. Also the one special resource I have in abundance (oil) is not available until very late in the game. In my situation knowledge of the map won't help me because the big advantage of knowing the map is knowing where the settlable islands are but my location is too far from any of them to help me. Also there are no goodie huts. Another thing it is a big map so after some time of playing I will have probably have forgotten where all the unrevealed resources are.

If you think that is not sufficient a handicap then how about I be the only civ that can't declare war for the first 40 turns (but anyone can declare war on me)?

No worries, I am not here to get you, I was just pointing out those curious wanting to know the map ahead, and I would like to keep all a surprise. Thanks for setting up the game by the way, and yes, Arabia is a major challenge to play.

Also, if someone is in doubt, there are plenty of worldmaps out there, so go ahead

 

[Provolution]

Please keep in the huts then, but please let the outcome be randomized. Some change in the game could be fun too, like in real life.

@zenspiderz: no need to don't declare war for 40 turns. This can be turned in an advantage for your neighbours. It's ok without map also.

Let huts there. They have no much benefits.

 

[zenspiderz]

RE: I am glad to say that I have found out how I can delete the huts without messing up the underlying terrain.

Just 3 civs unclaimed.

China - Qin
Mali
Ottoman - Mehmed

 

[Provolution]

Should we start the game or not, before we lose momentum? I am not a big supporter of the "fill-up-all-slots" perfectionists.

 

[slaze]

I'd prefer the game to start without AI. City placement decisions are one of the perks of multiplayer, and especially on a world map.

 

[Levgre]

have you been advertising on other forums? Would make it much easier to fill the last 3 slots, i think...

Um no. Any suggestions?

 

[Provolution]

You need to aggressively recruit people for the last 3, before people lose faith and leave, this happens in all ambitions games where many players are wanted.

Can I have suleiman of the ottomans? Game still have not started so should be possible to change leader or?

um no sorry. I have finished the map now. Believe it or not in order to change the ottoman leader I would have to reedit the map from scratch.
