Quote:Standard diplo?
I think we've agreed on the diplomacy option of doing it all in one thread? I think that's what I want to go for. Open diplo I think is the buzzword.

Quote:One only of Fin/Exp/Inca/India.
Most certainly. It'll make it nice and fair. Of course, I'm going for Abe of Japan so it doesn't matter to me rolleye

Quote:Snake pick leaders/civ?
Yes, I assume this is the regular system of 1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1? Seems like the most fair by far.

Quote:Difficulty/wrap?
Now this is something that I'm truly not too sure about, since it is all humans I don't have a good idea of how different difficulties will play out between us. More experienced peeps, anyone wish to clear this up for me?

Also, for wrap, as long as we're going for a lakes setup of some sort, I would say that toridial seems to me like the most appropriate script, or at least the one I would have fun playing on.

Quote:Boat importance?
Unnecessary. Some way where it might be kinda helpful to have them would be okay, but not of large enough importance to make or break the game.

Quote:Mirroring (total mirror or capitals only)?
Hmmm. Good question. I would best prefer the capitals either being mirrored or extremely similar, and the other areas being somewhat similar but mixed up to add a bit of flavor without unbalancing it.

Or, just do a total mirror, I could dig that as well if the first one is too much work for the time you have Serdoa.

Quote:Natural vs. balanced?

Ha, I think I answered that already :P Balanced please.

Quote:No barbs?
No barbs, I would prefer not to have any because losing due to unfortunate barb cities isnt fun.

Quote:No huts?
No huts. Same as Barbs.

Quote:No Spies?
Spies, me no likey. No Spies.

Quote:No Nukes?
I don't like nukes, but if this game goes on that long to become a nuclear standoff it would be a very successful game by some means. Still, No Nukes.

Quote:No SoZ?
"Hey look, I'm going to make your whole population mad at you for trying to win the game!" No SoZ.

Quote:No WE?
*Insert funny reasoning here* No WE.

Quote:No events?
No events. (Goodness I'm sounding like a broken record here.)

Quote:No religious victory, but AP is fine?
I very much agree for no religious or diplomatic victory, as in MP those go from winning people's hearts and souls to your cause, to the "I have the most population or religion exclusive to me" award.


Serdoa Wrote:Well, if you want to wait till the weekend...
I forgot to answer this, I think that's actually great timing Serdoa, cause it gives us all time to lay down what we want for settings and to do our leader/civ picks, so that's ready by the weekend for you.

Boat importance? medium, not critically needed but should be worthwhile to throw out a few off

I think I'd rather play without a teammate as such, but if someone wants to be an advisor, specifically for micro-related things, I'd be happy to have them on board.

Quote:Standard diplo? I'd prefer standard diplo, but I'm not too fussed either way.
One only of Fin/Exp/Inca/India. Yep.
Snake pick leaders/civ? Yep.
Difficulty/wrap? Monarch/Emperor, not flat.
Boat importance? Some importance would be nice, so they can't be completely ignored.
Mirroring (total mirror or capitals only)? Capitals mirrored, surrounding land balanced.
Natural vs. balanced?

No barbs? Not fussed either way.
No huts? No huts.
No Spies? No spies.
No Nukes? No nukes.
No SoZ? I'd rather it on, but I suspect I'm going to be outvoted anyway.
No WE? As long as the Khmer can still build their BEs.
No events? Definitely no events.
No religious victory, but AP is fine? Sounds good, but I don't understand why people would want AP resolutions but not SoZ, considering that the resolutions are much more disruptively annoying than the SoZ WW in my experience.

Looks like it is:

Quote:Standard diplo? Open thread, PB7-style.
One only of Fin/Exp/Inca/India.
Snake pick leaders/civ.
Difficulty/wrap? Monarch /toroidal [SIZE="1"](cylindrical okay)[/SIZE]
Boat importance? Not vital, but navy build-able. [SIZE="1"](Lake-ish)[/SIZE]
Mirroring? Capitals close, local areas balanced but not identical.

[COLOR="Lime"]No barbs!
No huts!
No Spies!
No Nukes!
No SoZ!
No WE! [SIZE="1"](Khmer excepted?)[/SIZE]
No events!!!
No religious victory, and no resolutions, but AP is fine for the hammers.[/COLOR]

Looks like about as close to a bog standard game setup as we've had in a while. Anyone care to roll for snake pick order?

So, how exactly does the snake pick work?

It's for unrestricted leader/civ pairings. #1 picks his leader or his civ, then second, and so on. Fourth picks leader and civ, and then back up the ladder. So you get first and last pick.

I'm in favour of allowing BEs and disallowing all resolutions (AP still allowed for econ).
