should we restart given we have respawn AI, barbs setting is wrong, and culture linked start is on. choices are: continue game, restart totally, extract seed, fix settings, and use same seed, or abstain. poll open 3 days.

discussion here
 
What are we, abunch of cowards? So what, it's going to be abit more challanging then we expected. Why does that matter? It's still going to be easy, with or without respawn AI.

It's not about the difficulty, it's about playing the game with the settings people want.
 
actually i voted the wrong way, strider convinced me, can someone change my vote from restart to stay the couse. Pah a little respawning AI is nothing. PAH
 
I'm still undecided. In DG5 I got a couple of settings wrong when creating the game, and we decided to redo it, but that was during the creation chat. There is a difference between this game and that one, because in this game some of the settings were forgotton entirely during the pregame discussion and one (the barb setting) was chosen incorrectly because critical information was missing in the information brought over from the previous forum. In the DG5 case the people's wishes were very well known but poorly executed.

Both Strider and MeteorPunch have good points. On the one had why should we be chicken and take what many would consider merely extra difficulty off the table, and on the other hand why go against the people's wishes? As usual, what I really want to do is gauge the strength of feelings on both "sides" and choose the one which takes the least damage.
 
Just to check whether it was possible to get the same start with the corrected settings, I downloaded seedbeast last night, extracted the seed and played with restarting.

I could remove Respawn AI, change Barbs from Raging to Roaming and remove Culturally Linked starts without changing the start.

Seedbeast results of the original start.
Seedbeast results of the revised start.
Screenie of the revised start - the only difference is the Sn00py graphics I use.
4000BC save game of the same start with Respawn removed, Culturally linked starts off and Barbs dropped to Roaming.

I thought that once the game is created, that we should stick with it. I dont want to see the citizens abandon a game, which is much worse than abandoning a set goal from the beguinning of the game.
