Variant PBEM: 3CC

[Commodore]

So Zero and AT are apparently battling mano-e-mano still, but I figure this is a spot to say it. I've spoken to Pindicator and Scooter about playing a shadow game on this map, where we all know what it looks like, etc, etc, but new picks and different rules:

No city limit, beyond the natural limit of a 20x20 toroid at a high difficulty level.
No Great Artist bombs. GAs can be settled, but GA bombs are verboten.
Still AW, all the rest similar setup.

Any fourth person interested? I'm thinking of this being a fast, light game treated basically like a duel in casualness. I think Pin, Scoot, and I are all proven fast players, and all within about 1 standard deviation of player skill, if you think you can honestly fit both criteria, come along! I can provide the WB file for the vets game, I'd only change it to slice in the different leaders/civs.

Just a post confirming I'm in for this. Can't promise a spectacularly updated thread as I'll probably just have time to hit the highlights, but I can promise I'll be doing something different than "Stonehenge first" .

So tempting! 34 was my favorite PBEM i played in until the sad end. But, as scooter can attest, my availability is pretty low atm.

Should be fun to watch. Zero desire to play.

Maybe we'll see Alex of Rome again, and not it up as much.

Commodore, I'd suggest opening up a thread elsewhere for this to get the 4th signup. I think the only people who have seen this are those of us subscribed to the thread already.

[Commodore]

Okay, I'll mention it to on the "Admin" page while asking for a new subforum. AT did mention he'd be up for being fourth man if nobody else is dying to be it. Given he's won the greens game (congrats!) on this map I think he's qualified.

[scooter]

Definitely. Once we have our subforum we can get final settings/rules nailed down and then launch straight into picking.

Quick question. Interested in using the same mod to lower the required # of buildings for some national wonders? I know we won't have a strict 3 city limit, but there won't be much more than 12 cities total on this map anyways.

Eh, with tightness I could see people managing four or even five cities! I'd prefer no mod but can certainly be outvoted.

The Commodore has asked me to ded-lurk/team with him so I shall do so, just to inform y'all of my stepping in of half of my foot into the ring.
