[PLAYERS STAY OUT!] Lurker Thread - PB5 Starts A Day Late & Dollar Short

[oledavy]

Maybe we'll actually get some reporting out of this game with the RB Mod.

I'll watch with interest. I'm very curious to see how well RB Mod will work in this environment, and how players will adjust to all the subtle (and not so subtle) differences in the game.

Here's betting there'll be at least one major "whoops, I forgot that had changed" moment in the coming months. Probably many.

He said in the main thread there would be no picture of the map.

Amusing watching Krill make mind-games with himself.

(Myself, I'd move the warrior 1E onto the hill, and then the settler 1S-1NW. Unless I noted something grand during the moves.)

He's right though. A couple people have double food sources in excess of 4f yield. With farmed FPs and plains cow he's going to be at a severe disadvantage in terms of whip ability. He'll likely have to mine a lot more and just work the mines to slow build instead of whipping.

Yeah, the tweaks they wanted regarding 4f tiles had almost no effect. I'll spoil it now for the lurkers, plako gets a grass cow instead of a plains cow.

However everyone can have a pretty decent capital. (Krill e.g. if he moves SE gets two more food resources, though they will not be visible so who knows what he'll end up doing.) Were this not the case I would probably have upped the tweak level. Of course some people will still get better starts than others anyway, but that's life.

Hmm i was hoping some would choose an aggressive Sumerian leader. I feel like that could be a real power combo with this mod.

It was all random.

So far no one like the names I assigned them, what a surprise.

Can we have the original list?
