Tech Thread - EitB XXVI

It just feels that way to me. I don't know how significant adding in extra units would be, but if someone was new to BtS and was playing in a game with other new players, my inclination would be to give them as vanilla a game as possible because I'd see it as much as a learning process as an actual game. Adding in more variables could be confusing or detracting. I could be wrong, I'm talking from the gut here.

Whosit has an excellent point here.

Players new to FFH have enough to relearn as it is, without introducing extra variables.

Boosted starts and bonus starting units make for a fun variant. But they do take experience to get the most out of.

For a newcomers game, keep it simple. The start might be a bit slow. But that's not a bad thing when the players are still figuring out the game.

I would love to join as a noob if theres a spot

[Sian]

no problem for me ...

and yeah ... i argee with whosit ... variants probably would only make it harder to understand for those of us thats not 'in' on the crooks of the mod

[Tasunke]

bump. So do we have a mapmaker yet?

Probably some thing very basic, like cool but 'nilla. Probably a Pangaea with intra-contentintal mountain ranges. (and a fair amount of fertility, as is normal for RB)

I can role and improve, but not balance.

[BRickAstley]

What's the final player list?

[Qgqqqqq]

I've been playing around with the script, and (much to my suprise) it appears mirrorland works with EitB.
So you can play on one of those if you want (and I can edit in barbs/features if you want).

[Sian]

Player list so far:
Sian
Primepolar
Molach
Whosit
Ryan


Tasunke might be added as well but i'm questioning if he aren't to strong in a green game

[Ryan]

Why am I not in it and Tas will kill us all

[Sian]

because i missed you Ryan ...
