Wotm 9?

[ButSam]

Any word on what WOTM 9 will be like yet? Judging on the typical progression, I assume a Prince-level game is next... which is the next highest difficulty level I have not won on, so I am more likely to participate Would like to get some practice in with more detail if possible, even if it is incomplete detail.

I wonder what the delay is?

 

[Infantry#14]

how about a guessing game eh?

I guess this WOTM9 will feature:
Difficulty: Emperor
Map: Ice Age, standard
Civilization: Russia (Stalin)
Speed: Marathon

I basically forgot about the date until ainwood reminded me about it on the 10th

I will have a pregame discussion out in a few hours prolly

Maybe this month the catch is there is no pre-game.

 

[Lehm]

Okay, I say we´ll have:

difficulty: emperor
Map: Pangea, low sea level
civ: England (Churchill)
Speed: Epic

Talking about possible game settings, how about setting random personalities on one game. That should make for some interesting different tactics as people have to try and figure out what the different AI opponents are going to do as they are playing.

We've had all of the expansion pack leaders now, and two of the originals. One of them - Cyrus - was quite recently, so I think it'll be back to an expansion leader, but one we've had in an early WOTM.

Surely it's time for a harder level (although this will be tough learning time again for me! )

So I guess:

Hannibal
Emperor
Pangea, arid, normal sea-level, standard size.
Epic speed.

And for a bonus . . .
The pre-game thread will be posted at 11:55 BST.

How many is "few"? Is this Few as in "Far and few"? I fell like a right Jumbly: all at sea waiting for a post.

 

[Thrallia]

I'm betting on Fractal, Monarch, Stalin.

 

[Goodenuf]

My guess is... Ragnar, Archipelago, Immortal, Standard Size map with ... 8 rivals instead of the standard 6.

Bugger! I was going to guess a terra map, and was kinda erring towards Egypt too, but I fell asleep then had to go out so didn't post it. Now I've got back and seen the pre-game discussion and it actually is a terra map with Ramesses. I suppose it's a bit late to post my guess now....?

Don't think I'd have guessed any of the other settings though, and I have to admit I was leaning more towards a Hatty-Egypt rather than a Ramesses-Egypt.
