peace is acceptable only is our ally signed peace first. (thus breaking our contract)

participators in previous SW games have precedence, so come on home, mates

 

[RowAndLive]

I will play. If possible, I'd like to request 5-turn sets after the IA. Normally I'd bid for first, but not with the different nation set. Toward the middle would be good.

 

[ÆnigmÆffect]

I would like to join.

Idiot contingent reporting in. Put me last. I've played mass regicide. the kings spread out to various cities. Does the king stay in the capital in regicide? You could change this to mass regicide and we would have all those early scouts.

lurker's comment: My plate is a bit full right now. I had my turn come up in all 3 of my SG games this weekend. It's hard to keep the goals of each game straight in your head when you got that many going on. I'd like to play this one but don't have the time for it. If you need someone to fill in let me know, but I'll be lurking.

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Ninjas are cool, I'll join.

But do you mean Regicide or Mass Regicide? I'm guessing MR, but just making sure.

 

[soul_warrior]

welcome aboard mates.
special greets to the Admiral you will be last
EnigmaEffect, Row&live and IroquisPlisken, all welcome.

i will roll some starts and post tommorow.
still waiting for another recruit (no i havent forgotten you Tubby. i will keep you in the roster as a possible stand-in)

regarding the REGICIDE question. i have a dilema. both options would be ok by me, so ill put it to the vote. would you like MASS regi, or single?
i am leaning toward MASS.

@ Row&live - IA will have 5 turn sets. no worries. if it gets too heavy earlier than that we can discuss and go 5 turn set earlier.

roster, as of now. i will update the first post BEFORE we start for final order.

soul warrior - starting
EnigmaEffect - up next
IroquisPlisken
Row&Live
open spot --------- open
Admiral kotzov

tubby rower (lurking as a stand-in)

so, as you lurkers can see, we still need 2 more slots filled.
and let me use this as a shameless promotional spot - SW1 needs more troops, so check us out.

I'll go ahead and join up. I already have a ton of emails in my inbox every morning so what's another pound? I've not played Regicide or Mass Regicide before, but if I had to choose, mass would be better due to being able to use some as scouts early on.

 

[RowAndLive]

I like MR for the scouts, but don't find it that tough. I'll take the dissenting side and vote for single Regicide.

 

[soul_warrior]

these are the starts i rolled.
and believe me - those are the first 5.

this is teh first

 

[soul_warrior]

and the second has some whales.
and we are a fish lovin nation, no?

 

[soul_warrior]

while the third has some food in it aswell

 

[soul_warrior]

forthly, we get those beutiful deer. yummy.

 

[soul_warrior]

and fifthly, we get a river, a sea and sugar

 

[Tubby Rower]

It looks like we're playing just regular Regicide since there are only 3 units in the initial stack....

Here's my votes
3 - A-K won't like the floodplains
4 - 2 bg, deer in forrest and a couple other forests to chop
2 - whales could be good, but low production everywhere else
5 - nothing too special
1 - no river for commerce or growing beyond 6

 

[soul_warrior]

now for a recap of all the settings that matter.
we are Japan
AI are - china, korea, mongols, russia and india
world is pangea 70%, barbs are roaming.
SGL is off, SEED is on, Cultural link is off.
ALL victory conditions are on.
REGICIDE is UP (single regicide only - we are , not mass murderers)

what are your favorite starts?
i will upload the top saves soon for us to fool around with.

and just as an afterthought - typical SG rules.... you know the deal....

 

[soul_warrior]

incidentaly - my vote is for start 4.
after that 3 (floods could be fun) or 5 (coastal does that to me)
starts one and two... nice but not first grade

 

[Admiral Kutzov]

SW - post 1 says mass regicide is on, post 16 says regicide

AI are - china, korea, mongols, russia and india

Only five AI or are 2 hidden?

If a single AI attacks us, when do we have to make peace?

Like #4. Opening move is worker west to what I think will be BG on a coast. Depending on what we see, we'll need to figure out where to move the king. IMHO, the king should be renamed on turn one (Elvis, Buddy, Scorpion, Kong, Ralph are my suggestions). Will make the opening logs more interesting.

@ TR

3 - A-K won't like the floodplains

good call.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I like Buddy. It might be my red-neck relatives rubbing off on me though.

 

[RowAndLive]

#4 is too much of a gift start, and #2 leans that way also. I'll play FP, but don't prefer them, and a desert start is just a pain. As such, I vote for #5.
