The Next Empire

Your welcome, and now we're full.

Replacement players: let me know, in case someone decides to miss game start..

Players: please respond quickly to your Private Message, then we can start quickly.

STARFOX and BUDDAH please respond quickly: then it's possible for all of us to play the very important first turn in the weekend..
Buddah: it has been a while since I heard from you..
 
Just a last minute request for the game; in an advanced start game, player who plays first can invest his money heavily in purchasing religous techs. To make it fair for the players who play last, perhaps we can make the rule that only non religious tech purchases permitted in the start up phase ?
 
Deztro,

it is fair as it is:

what actually happens is that FIRST all players setup,
AFTER THAT is decided who is the founder of which religion

So if 6 people have buddism tech, all have 16,6% chance to be the founder.
So if you discover buddism, hinduism and monotheism you have at least 50% chance to be a founder of a religion.

(just test it with AI players and you'll see)

I am not inclined to change this setting as it is a huge disadvantage for the 'builder types' among us (and this also blocks monarchy for instance).

Thanks, didn't know that. Another PBEM i'm in they had this non-religion-rule during the setup phase, so if you wanted to bes sure of early religions you had to chose a civ that had mysticism from the start.

sorry - the probability geek in me is coming out ... technically, you have a 1 - 5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 chance or 42% chance of founding at least 1 religion.

Calanthe bows deeply to the Math-magician..

(and thinks: "for us mortals that would be something like 50%") ;)
 
The Game is on it's way !

Important notification for set up phase:

*) reloading is permitted this turn: complexity demands it
*) let’s try to have the all important first turn done by the end of weekend
*) I will be away from Friday afternoon until sunday evening,
but I guess that won’t be a problem
*) maybe some of you will be willing to post a short background story on your civ in the “Chronicles of The Next Empire” thread; I sure will ;)
