[Ankka]

I'd join but I rarely use my family comp...

And PBEMs are too slow for me.

 

[Matrix]

Sounds like a neat idea.

To make it really worth spending your time, it is a good idea to play either a Conquests scenario or a custom balanced map checked for consistency.

I agree. Perhaps you could put a custom balanced map together for us?

 

[akots]

I'm not an experienced mapmaker but I can certainly try. Need to know:

1) How many players and what civilizatons
2) What map specifications (continents/Pangea/archipelago, size, age, water, etc.)
3) Other optional settings (barbarians, scientific leaders, difficulty, etc.)
4) Any other desired tweaks (luxuries/resource/starting conditions, locked alliances, etc.)
5) Passwords for all players pm'ed to me since the first turn has to be played by mapmaker.

Also, there are usually a few options. It can be a completely hand-mape map very symmetrical which gives an extremely balanced gameplay. Or it can be just random map slightly edited to ensure the balance.

Lets do a random map edited to be fair.

1.) We need to wait for a least another day to be sure but I'm thinking between 6 and 8 players.
2.) Random map specifications except standard size map and standard age.
3.) The same barbarian, scientific and difficulty settings as the current isdg
4.) No locked alliances as there is currently no locked alliances now.
5.) Yup okie doke....lets wait till friday at 1700 (EST) to close the invitational.

Thanks for stepping up to the plate.

 

[akots]

So, you discuss and then make a summary and I will try to work on it to be ready next week.

 

[Pegster]

sounds fun

I'll probably loose fast, but w/e ;p
never tried a pbem game before either, but it can't be that hard to figure out how to do it ;p

Provolution won't be here for a couple of days due to an uncontrollable urge to troll. You might want to consider PM-ing him.

I'm not really active in this forum but... I'd like to have a good PBEM match with CFC's representatives. So I'll join in as your 8th.

Now that we have all 8 players lets discuss the settings.

I would like to have the settings closely mirror what we may experience in the ISDG.

1.) Civs should be random but..be of the ancient or early feudel age to include the Maya, the Iriquois, and the Persians. Let Akots determine the rest of the civs and who plays what...

2.) Map size...standard...Map type...Random... Map age... average.

3) Other optional settings (barbarians, scientific leaders, difficulty, etc.) Should mirror the ISDG

4) No locked alliances, Random starting position exept edited for balance.

As stated this is a discussion. Feel free to say your 2 cents worth. When everyone says there ok with the settings and sends there private password to akots via pm, Akots can begin putting the map together.

 

[rcoutme]

IMHO, it would be nice to select our nationalities

 

[Emp.Napoleon]

I would love too, even though I am terrable at PBEMs
