Is that character a variant? (I just love getting asked that in channel.) - Charis |

Anyone want to try a MP game with the craziest possible variant?

You could always do the FFH thing and send in an ordered list to a third party. I'd volunteer but I couldn't be mapchecker or anything, don't have the game/not worth seven bucks.
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out. oledavy Wrote:- I would prefer picking civs. However, I would also suggest banning France. Works for me - that's the one I thought would be first pick too and possibly too strong. In that case I think simply going backwards in turn order is fairest. Btw I think I remember you having a mac - will you be able to run the PBEM automation program? It's not essential but I think (hope) it would make things a lot more convenient and it looks like everyone has to be able to use it for us to use it. yuris125 Wrote:About non-default settings, do we want city states? They could be abusable. Or are they off in MP by default? City states are mainly abusable because the AI is dumb. It pays you large amounts of gold for your luxuries and you use that gold to get city state alliances that give you luxuries back, plus bonuses. And since you're constantly fleecing the AIs of their gold they don't outbid you for the city states. I definitely want to leave them on. If they're imbalanced with real opponents, let's find out.

This is a sign up from me. Unless you decide to stick with 4 in which case I can get some popcorn and lurk.
map size: the default map size for our number of players * Speed? quick * Map type? I think we should go random * Other non-default settings? Um Can we turn on promotion and policy saving? Everything else we can leave at normal whatever that is. * Civs? Um I have mogolia DLC somehow. Other then that I don't think we should restrict any civ's because nobody realy knows balance for civ 5. I am willing to be proved wrong on that last point * Diplo? I don't care one bit. * Something I forgot? I can't think of anything else edit: GMR the PBEM automation program seems to work for me.
The Mongolia DLC was free so everyone should have access to it, unless Firaxis pulled it down for some reason. But I haven't logged in to Civ 5 since around November 2010 so I don't know what they've done really.
But this game will be fun to watch, I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope it will be interesting because of the extreme variant you'll be playing and not because you'll experience horrendous technical challenges in getting MP to work correctly and reliably. Proposed variant to the variant: 5 bonus points to whoever can kill the first carpet of doom. Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon |
