Realms Beyond Pitboss Planning Thread

14. No talking before contact, I think.

15. Talking about the map - definitely allowed
Giving screenshots - I guess so.

15, I think we should always allow map trading, for one simple reason: you can not negotiate borders with someone unless you can trade maps of the border area.

Well it's good to know that at least one team isn't planning to do all their negotiating with a sword...

1. No talking before in game contact.

2. No screenies until paper.

3. Persia

And the Snake Pick is concluded! Some very interesting choices.

Wow, that's everyone! I'll get to work on the map tonight and it should be ready for tomorrow. We're also going to try and create a subforum here for the Pitboss game, to avoid cluttering up the Tournament forum further. Thanks for sorting everything out so quickly, everyone! (Re: Apolyton Demogame - this is how to organize things. )

Looks like Creative is the clear winner with 7/11 leaders (Gilgamesh & Pericles feel left out).

Imperialistic & Expansive next with 3-each.

Also, only two civs chosen with "later" UU's - both Horse-based.

A few questions:
1. Do the contents of my custom assets folder matter at all when playing the game?
2. And as a result, is playing with bug mod possible, and if so, is it allowed?
3. Also, on post 2 where we have listed the results of polls, for the double moves and last minute changes sections, are all letter points the rules or just the one with asterix? For example, can I declare war and move all my units into someone's land at the same time?
EDIT:
Also 4. What do you mean by power game the espionage system? I don't understand what's exploitive about changing your builds/research near the deadline since they don't get evaluated until the turn timer runs out anyway.

One request: Sullla, after you have made the map, are you willing to send everyone screenshots of their start so we can think about it before the game goes live?

Oh I have definite thoughts, but they're going in the "No Players" thread. IMO, each person should post their own private thoughts in their game thread, to avoid spoilers and excessive metagaming.

Yes, definitely upon request. I already have you and Memphus down in that category, and will pass it on to you by email or PM.
