Number of Teams

[Ginger_Ale]

Unlike later official polls in which each team gets one vote, this poll is open to everyone. Please vote for the number of teams there should be for the Civ4 MTDG. Related discussion can be found here.

Once we decide on the # of teams, we can proceed with signups for the teams and private forums.

Logical reasoning says that sign-ups should happen first, then we can choose the number of teams.

That won't give an accurate representation of the number of interested people. Lots of people sign up once the game starts (they wait until discussion is over), or when an annoucement is made, or even during the game. Plus, the number of teams shouldn't only depend on the number of people signed up; other things like the time it will take also factors in as well as things like diplomacy.

Okay, then why aren't we deciding on all of those things first?

5 teams if it's a pangaea. 4 teams if we have two custom continents. My vote in the poll is 5 because I think that this would make the most interesting game.

 

[Black_Hole]

I think 4, if we have 5 it could turn into 3v2

Sorry to ask an apparently stupid question, but why is it that I see this message:

Voters: 7. You may not vote on this poll

If I were able to vote, I would vote for 5 or 7 teams. An odd number of teams will make for a more dynamic diplomatic environment.

 

[grahamiam]

I can't vote but put me down for 5 teams

 

[azzaman333]

I voted for 4 teams, since we wont want this game dragging on forever when there is an expansion out, and 4 teams should keep the turn times relatively down.

For anyone who has trouble voting, there is a group registration which gives the ability to vote in Civ4 Demogame and subforums. See this thread for details. Once you're signed up and the mods add you to the group, come back here and you'll be able to vote.

5 would give a greater need for diplomacy.

 

[Own]

6 is an even number, and I think there will be more signups than in the Civ3 MTDG. More teams is more diplomacy and more fun.

 

[RoboPig]

i vote 5, makes for interesting diplomacy and if we play continents then it would be interesting to see the more poplated continent get cramped

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

I voted 6, for similar reasons as Own, but 5 would work too, for similar reasons as just about everyone else.

The more the merrier, imo!

5 teams, and we should have a free for all, and if two teams want to ally for a war or something, so be it!

 

[DaveShack]

It looks pretty strong for 5 teams. It should be obvious though that if we fall short on player recruitment that we might still have to compress back to 4. I don't expect that to be necessary but it would be a mistake to consider this cast in titanium.

 

[BCLG100]

I thought there'd be more participation in this following the 40 or so people who wanted the game.

 

[Swissempire]

Just wait a little bit. A lot of people are more interested in the game part of it, or will join once there is something to join. Some people, like myself, enjoy PLANNING stuff and some don't. I gaurentee there will be a partication jump once we have the teams decided upon!

I would guess about 15-20 people on team KISS may play with us or against us. Anarchy and all.
