R1-Fast and Dirty

[Rodent]

Heres the Idea-

We will have 4 Players on a map of Tiny Size. the game will be 2v2 .

There will be No Corruption.

Units will be made cheaper, by how much is yet to be decided.

Unit Supports will be raised to Obscene Levels(So that Large Militaries can be supported)

Anyone Interested in this Idea?

Rodent-Persians
Hasdrubal Barca-Celts
Chamnix-Zulu
Calis-Rome

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Count me in

 

[Rodent]

You are in. I guess you will be on my team then ?

Civ Preferences if any?

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Carthage or Sumeria pls.

 

[Rodent]

No Interest yet....

Still waiting for players

 

[Calis]

I want to sign up along with Chamnix...as team two...

 

[Calis]

Could you give some more details on the map, now that we are complete?

Intersting would be, whether it is hand made or random...

 

[Rodent]

It shall be Hand Made. Care should be taken to ensure that each team has 1 of a resource.

Obviously, I can't make the map, Do you know of anyone who can do it for us?

As a Side-note- With Chamnix, we are toast

Civ Preferences if any?

 

[Calis]

Civ Preferences if any?

Please give us a day...

 

[Rodent]

Also, The Tech pace will be slow, Hope you can cope with that

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

Well, if every faction will get a resource and will be hand-made, i prefer to go with the Celts pls

 

[Calis]

Add Chamnix and myself please.

Chamnix is going to be the wild Zulu...

And I am going to be mighty Rome...

Too bad I missed this one, I probably could have talked Cyc into partnering up. If you decide to switch to a 3-team free for all, let me know.

 

[Rodent]

a 6-player PBEM would probably become too unwieldy and long, and probably would'nt fit on a small map.

You Could Do us a Favour and make us a map? I will PM you the Details If you are willing

Also, It would be good If Chamnix actually posted in the thread

 

[Hasdrubal Barca]

MAke it a pangea map with some nice features to it

 

[Chamnix]

Also, It would be good If Chamnix actually posted in the thread

[Rodent]

Nice to see you here. I know about you and I have seen your entries in HoF, But you will have a hard time as I am very Wily

Now that Teams are set, Choose a Colourful Name for your Teams.

I'd be happy to make your map.

What I've garnered so far:
Small Map
1 of each resource for each player near capital
Reduced Unit Support (1st 30 free and then 4 per town, 6 per city & 8 per metro?)
No Corruption (not sure how to do this, but I'll look at the options available)
I'll check tonight on what the options are for reducing prices.

Now a couple more questions/ideas:
What's the order of play? Do you want to have both players for a team play back (AABB)to back to alternating team play (ABAB)?
Do you want chokepoints or a wide-open map?
Any changes to the wonders (SoZ, KT, GLib etc)?
How about adding Berserks to all nations to allow for pre-Marine amphib assaults?
I like to allow AC & Crusaders to be built by everyone, any thoughts?
How many starting units and what kinds?
Should all nations start with embassies (ie instant contact)?
Do you want the fog of war removed?
What's Barbarian Level?
Do you want any goody huts? (how plentiful?)

I can spend some time on this tonight and tomorrow and probably complete it early next week.

 

[Chamnix]

Nice to see you here. I know about you and I have seen your entries in HoF, But you will have a hard time as I am very Wily

Don't let my single player success fool you - I make a living using exploits against AI weaknesses that would never come up in multiplayer. I have played very few PBEMs.

I'd be happy to make your map.

Do you want any goody huts? (how plentiful?)

The Zulu humbly request a goody hut on every tile .

 

[Calis]

No (or very few goody huts). I really start hating them!
