Pitboss 9 Organizing Thread

Yeah dantski if its already installed, updating to 3.19 should work, you'll just have to go to the firaxis. site rather then doing it in-game.
You sure you want fractal?

What if we go with No Tech Trading at all? Then diplomacy will be not much in need of regulation at all.

[Qgqqqqq]

I think TT proposal has tech trading as a central part so as to enable more competition into the later eras of the game.
I don't think it requires diplomacy though.

[Cyneheard]

At the moment, my belief is that Tech trading will be set at No Tech Brokering

Diplomacy wise it seems like quite a few people want CTON, but as it will be pitboss, I'm wondering if we fancy just saying that you can do unlimited in game diplomacy upon contact but no more?

I imagine some communication would be necessary for tech trades etc

Does that mean "no chatting", i.e. "AI diplo only"?

No Tech Brokering is critical with limited diplo, as PB5 proved.

I'll take a solo position. I wouldn't mind if a team-mate signed on with me, but I can guarantee one turn/day in a consistent time window.

Do you want a random map?
Or something like mirrorland ?
Or crafted?

Looking at just rolling a random fractal map or something like that and playing with it. Its all about playing with whatever you get.

Just need someone to probably roll a few and pick the one that is best with (ideally) no crazy good/bad combos for one or two players

And no happy-resource-less Australia. For civ/leader selection I like the suggestion of rolling a few extra and then shaving off the best/worst pics and then randomly assign the rest.

Ill dedlurk you cornflakes.

I think thats a good idea.
Is anyone willing to be the roller?

Actually for a script, is anyone interested in doing the PB1/PB4 script again?

Basically I mean the full_of_resources lakes map, with the settings for water % around 30.

[Commodore]

Is that like the PBEM 18 script? That was a nice random lakes script with a bit of a resource buff, so no vast wastelands like West Inca in PB1

I would love that. We didn't get many sign-ups for a PB with that map script though. Any map is acceptable to me. Someone can roll a few maps and choose the best for us.

Diplomacy either completely allowed, or in-game only (referring to trading and so on, NOT chatting in-game).

I would roll but i'm playing. :P
