Here goes nothing...

Famous - with no hero offers until turn 30, this retort is most likely too weak now.
Inquisitor - powerful early game retort that is also terrible in the late game - if the design goal is to get rid of strong early game influences, one that specifically promotes early game at the expense of later potential should not exist.

Post your suggestions for improving or replacing these here.

First try at starting screenshots.  Let me know if these don't show up, I'm trying Fenn's new method for using Dropbox links.

Here's what the players would see:


Here's what their 9x9 would look like:

The only part I'm committing to being sea is the area to the east of the settler with the whales and island; the other coastlines should be taken merely as the blank canvas that still needs filling in.

Questions I need answered:
Can anyone see any locations that would turn out to be better than the starting hill to build a capital?

Did I catch all the strategics, or are some missing?

What do you think of the total area so far?  Is it interesting?  Are there places to put second and third cities (ideally non-obvious)?  Do you see anything you'd like changed?

My first thoughts on things to change:

Spoiler Alert: I die. RIP. 

Placeholder post.

I'm going to be without access to my gaming computer for work-related reasons from around May until August. That's far too long for the EitB PBEM 48 to be paused, so I'm looking for a sub, if anyone wants to be a part of a one-in-a-lifetime 8-player extravaganza featuring RB's top (and also currently only) FFH players.


You'll be playing as Averax of the Sheaim with an empire perhaps best described as a "fixer-upper", or more accurately as "the result of someone going through the motions for the last 70 turns". Still plenty of opportunity to have some fun, though.



Post here if you're interested in taking up the reigns. I'm happy to hand the game off at any time. The turnpace is relaxed in that there's too many players to get a turn in every day (or often even every other day), but you will still be expected to play reasonably promptly when you do have the save.

This thread contains spoilers.

Players who read on will know too much and have to go like Christopher Moltisanti's writer pal, Kim Jong Il's sushi chef, or ...

Other players and their dedlurkers aren't supposed to look at this!

Just in case someone accidentally clicked here, here are pictures indicating my intended city naming scheme.




No, I can't really use Wizardry as a namespace; there aren't enough placenames even if I combined all eight games.  (I have no familiarity whatsoever with the numerous Japan-only releases.)

This is a thread. Probably won't be much reporting, but I'll post occasionally.

Have the first pick. I think the "best" pick in this situation is Inca and then taking the best remaining Pro leader on the backside, but I think I'm going to not do that, too many games played as Inca. I think I want to get Org or Spi, neither of which I've had in a game here. In event of Org, can't have my beloved Pro due to that combination not existing. Imp/Org or Exp/Org maybe (Julius and Mehmed). Fin/Org would also be interesting. If you can manage the early game with no help you end up with a nice economic advantage come mid-late game.
