Veterans Pitboss Setup Thread

IF Seven doesnt play lets not go with BTS please, i think rtr would be beter one of the older version maybe.

I think Krill is right about tech cost scaling. If we're playing base BTS I'd like to do something to increase later game tech costs. Unfortunately most options involve increasing early game costs too. But the mapmaker could give us a gold tile at the capital or pre-settle our capital and put a town underneath it to mitigate that.

I'd be happy to play with one of the mods too.

2.7.0.4 is best but I'd survive .6 or an earlier branch.

Out of curiousity, which change(s) in v3 make you prefer 2.7.0.x?

[scooter]

I'm not going to be able to play this in any capacity, but

Tickled to be mentioned in the same breath as the people in this thread, but I'm definitely interested in a game since it's been a while since my last. Plus I'll be done with school here in a month, if all goes according to plan, so yay for free time.

I'll follow this thread exclusively and give advice that varies wildly from terrible to brilliant.

Not going to thread-jack, but:

Commodore
Assuming people are willing 2.7.0.6 or earlier.
Dtay
similarly dislike most of the v3 changes
even the ones i thought i would like, like tech cost rescaling
i think are too significant
like you can just blast though early techs in v3
and it substantially changes the value of stuff
i think actually makes Pro even better,cause you can get pottery
super early
and Pro did not need to be better
Commodore
Yeah
Zero need for all this commerce.
It was an interesting choice.
Dtay
oh ya, quay is least favorite part
by far
(also just weird commerce boost for everyone, for the sake of an overly complicated fin fix)
Commodore
Randomly moved civics, too.
Yeah, I actually like the 2.7.0.4 Fin
It's plenty strong, and makes for an interestingly different improvement rubric.

Plus the +2cpt Creative (library version is fine power-wise, but loses distinction) and the civic weirdness.

Yeah I don't want to thread jack either just was curious, wasn't going to turn it into a discussion. thanks for replying! I likely will dedlurk you, but obviously not at the required skill level to play myself

[The Black Sword]

GJ and I are going to team up, since everyone else seems to be doing it.

[Gaspar]

I really hope this happens, and for that matter that it happens in base BTS so I understand it, since I've egged some of the obvious potential participants for another one of these for awhile.

(Not at the required skill level nor am I interested in playing but it would bring my games lurked count up to 2!)
