[SPOILERS] PBEM16 Lurker thread

Lewwyn = Aggressive/Charismatic

[Rowain]

It is strange but I think there has not been a game where Krill didn't bitch about something . Be it land or civ/leader-combo.

Getting a bit overboard in this case. Map isn't very balanced because it wasn't ordered to be. It should still be playable and really not worth the energy used for the amount of crying. Dazed got a bit too good start, but others aren't too far from Krill and diplomacy should give options to equalize things. However Krill doesn't seem to want work e.g. with Scooter.

Krills list of things is also far from accurate. He only lists silks as happiness and doesn't list even gems! He also has sugar that is on his side of the jungle or ivory that is between him and Serdoa and closer to him (He probably doesn't see it though). Furthermore he gives without a fight wet rice and incense to dazed, even if they're closer to him.

Finally I didn't position players based on their perceived skill level. Positions were randomly assigned.

plako, you shouldn't for one second have to defend that last claim, you've made plenty of maps around here and they've all been good, IMO. I 100% agree if players are looking for full balance then they should ask for that. I don't think, for example, that the PBEM14 map is at all balanced, but I think its a good and interesting map that leaves a lot of decisions for the players that impact their game. Anyone who would think you would screw Krill's start position because he's a better player here is ignorant and should be ashamed of themselves.

Just shut up and play the game.

P.S. Lewwyn is not Agg/Chm. He's Agg/Imp.

Aggressive/Impetuous?

[Lewwyn]

While I agree its not balanced and I don't envy his start, I also agree that he should just play it... If someone has better land then you, go take it.

P.S. Lewwyn is not Agg/Chm. He's Agg/Imp.

I thought I was charming!:kisskiss:

Though I guess I do use settlers as weapons.

Man 20 Axes are a lot but against AGG Praets...not sure its going to work. At least we'll probably get another Krill rant .
