[MULT] Pitboss Worldbuilding Challenge

[sillsworth]

UPDATE:
Great idea Silver and Dev. I already interpret Civ wars like that, mostly as "campaigns" or "hostilities".
@Sheb a militia may, perhaps, only form in the military "Honor" tree is adopted, to show how the people have adjusted to that culture/ideology. If there is a militia before that, they should be weaker.
CPM I like the article. I have not seen it. I have now seen it.
GeoffreyY wrote one message and scrammed, so I'm assuming he won't be playing with us. Js with replace him then, as player nine on the Google Doc. This means we are two from completion.
I'm adding a bunch of resources to KrakFix7, trying to fix the map so we can use it. I'm also adding secrets. Secrets. Secrets.

Hang by your thumbs.

what kind of sercets? super smart barbs? lots of CSs? quill18?

Do we know if @TheKingOfBigOz is still planning on playing? If he is that means we only have to find...
ONE. MORE. TURN*.
*By "turn" I mean "player".
Looking forward to this getting underway!

 

[Js_9001]

I'll take Indonesia.

 

[sillsworth]

I'll take Indonesia.

The continents system of PW3 is kinda screwed up, they purposely ed it over so that they could get nice combinations of desert-textures and grasslands. Just so you know, you might get the 2 extra luxes for settling on other continents while you're on the same landmass. There's an example a few pages back.

@CPM King never spoke up afterwards, so I don't think he's coming. If you see him, ask him though.

@Sheb I cannot tell secrets.

 

[sillsworth]

I doubt anyone would know but:
If I place a "fort" on a map, who is it claimed by? Barbarians?

me too. i want this to start by friday. preferably on friday because i got to tutor this cute girl in history and then i got a writers meeting to go to that my uncle wants me to attend.

the tutoring i can handle. not so much as for the writers neeting even though i like writing.

^^
I don't think it's claimed by anybody

 

[cpm4001]

I don't believe the fort would be claimed by anyone.

NEXT LEVEL KRAKFIX7:

Added new resources, marble, a new city-state, and an unclaimed fort. Good luck.

"Secrets", and a fort? What could you be up to?

So, is it official that we are using the occupation rules?

 

[cpm4001]

The map looks pretty good! I dropped a visitor message for TheKingOfBigOz so we'll see if he's still going to play. If not, we may want to just run with 10 players and maybe a couple AIs.

 

[sh3baproject]

just wondering anyone want to spice this up and maybe add no beelines? it will make the game slower so i am not too keen on the idea but its up to you guys.

I'm up to adding a military benefit. KrakFix7 is fixed and ready to be played, it looks like.
Still confused on the issue of "if everyone leaves Pitboss, does Pitboss keep going?"

Are you sure you'll be up for this? It's gonna take dedication, and I hope this "cute girl" thing isn't an omen foreboding any issues occurring during game. We need everyone who's in to stay consistent and knowledgeable (hopefully growing more each day).
Always try to improve your writing, and keep writing whenever you get a chance. It's good to have opportunities to get to "writers neeting", I rarely get to.

If we want to slow this down, changing the game-mode to standard might be the easiest way. To have civs with different strengths in tech would be quite interesting, one civilization building mud-shrines and plantations while not yet grasping mining, while another has already constructed and maintained bazaars and caravan routes.
And, I mean, you'll have to get them all eventually. It's just a question of when.

I think I've seen pitboss games in the lobby before that had no one in them, but they were still going.

I think as long as one computer runs the dedicated server, it stays on the whole time, whether anyone's in it or not. I could be wrong, though.

 

[cpm4001]

Yes, as long as the server is running it remains on, even if no one is on it.

 

[cpm4001]

Okay, TheKingOfBigOz has informed me he isn't playing, so that leaves two slots open (if we still want to go with 12 players...might it be better if we play with just 10? That would make it just that much easier to keep everything rolling along while also giving us all more space to expand. Up to you, though.)

 

[redwings1340]

Honestly, keeping 10 players interested and active in the game over such a long period of time sounds hard enough. I would be ok with 10.

I feel as though there are going to be a lot of times where people can't do stuff, and the game is going to be delayed. For example, I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed next week, and further down the line during finals week or when I have a million projects due, I can't promise that I'll be overly active in this game during those periods of time.

I will try my best to not disappoint all of you, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who will have times where it will be hard to play so consistently. This game is going to be hard to keep going effectively, and the more people you add, the harder it gets.

That said, if someone else is reading this and wants to join before we start, feel free to join. I don't want to exclude anyone who wants to participate.
