Team Pitboss - BTS

[Calis]

If we take the game as a learning experince, I'd like to create a spoiler thread where team members can comment on my actions.

 

[remake20]

That's what SANCTA did in the last game with team PTBS and it worked fine.

AAAarrgh! I can't decide what to pick!? Unrestricted leaders gives me terrible indecision. (I make it sound like a bowl-problem )

Darius and Hannibal in their original Civs are great!

Maybe combine Ragnar with Carthage or Rome or Willem with those civs, I just can't f*cking decide!

But I did come up with a few fun combinations:
Hannibal and Mongolia and paint a huge bullseye on myself. xD

Or Boudica and Mongolia -> Build awesome army -> Conquer lots of cities -> Watch economy CRASH AND BURN! xD

i probably cant play by saturday. feel free to start without me altho this is my 1st pitboss game and im curious as to what will happen if i miss the 1st turn. would i still b able to play

 

[remake20]

Yes you can still play, or if enough people are busy I can start sooner or later.

 

[Gingi]

I'm playing!

If this was a multiplayer game with people my own difficulty level I would have chosen Genghis Khan. But seeing as I'm going to get my butt whupped that'd be pointless. I'd like to be Julius Caesar of Rome (the classic!)

And, (sorry to sound like a noob) but what's unrestricted leaders? Is that when you have a certain leader of a different civ, so you get your leader's traits with the different civ's starting technologies and unique units / buildings?

If that's the case I'd still like to be Julius Caesar of Rome, cause Praetorians kick ass!

Yes. Unrestricted Leaders means you can choose a leader with the traits you want to go with the civ with the UU/UB and startting techs you want.

Let me at 'em! And I'll roll the dice for leader and civ.

I'm on EST, but I'm fine with keeping odd hours if an overwhelming majority is across the pond.

 

[nabaxo]

The hell, let's go with something as unoriginal as Hannibal of Carthage... -.-

Unless someone can come up with a good reason of picking one of my other ideas.

 

[harvman]

I'll play as well... I think I'll take Ragnar of the Holy Roman Empire.

 

[Calis]

I think I will change leader/civ. Have to check which one I would like, but we won't start before Saturday, right?

 

[remake20]

@Calis: Yes

@All of you: I need an idea for map script, and settings! Otherwise I may put stuff in what you guys don't want. As far as mao I was thinking islands with the one continent or Snaky continent.

 

[nabaxo]

Archipelago with snaky continents or Big and Small with snaky continents...You can tell I like snaky continents? ;D

 

[remake20]

Will there be anybody else? And I still need map and game preferences!

I'm on EST. I think about half of us are in EST, half of us are Europeans (which really from one end of Europe to the other is only two different timezones, so not much variation on that end either.).

I'll play as well... I think I'll take Ragnar of the Holy Roman Empire.

Lol, I just had to laugh at that. The vikings hated the Holy Roman Empire.

But no worries. Because for our purposes, Ragnar hated them so much he took over the entire thing and now he's the leader of the Holy Roman Empire. Unless you have a better explanation?

Well, to be fair the Holy Roman Empire weren't exactly fans of the Vikings either, seeing as how they terrorized just about every coastal and river city around. There could be more ironic combinations as well... How about Genghis Khan of the Chinese, or Churchill of the Germans?

That's just about the exact story I'd come up with as well... actually when I play unrestricted leaders I have trouble remembering who's who, and make up lots of little stories in my head to help me keep track. Yeah I'm kinda I know

Oh and as for preferences, I also like Snaky continents. Since this is just for fun I don't mind goody huts / events, but if others want them off that's fine as well.

 

[remake20]

After finding out what it takes to host a PTBS I found out I probably need to use Hamachi like the other one. So go to the OP and follow instructions, but read the bold and follow.

 

[Calis]

My new leader should be Darius I of the Holy Roman Empire.

 

[SilentConfusion]

diplicate civs and leaders are ok in this one?

 

[remake20]

Yes..
