PBEM 8 organisation thread

[Chevalier Mal Fet]

Sorry, home from work.

My timeslots are US Central time, before work (0530 - 0700) and after (1600-2300 or so). Let's see, Central is GMT -6, so that makes my times 2330 - 0100, and 1000 - 1700 or so.

[Japper007]

Alhambram and me are CET

Japper is Netherlands?

Yup, so is Alhambram IIRC. 

We also use CET here, somewhat ironically thanks to a certain Austrian who I'll not name here

CET evening for me (say 1800-0300) occasionaly in the afternoon if I get back from uni early.

FFA please, with ingame Alliances available at will (as they are getting an interesting overhaul)

Fine with any picking method, just get me a civ!

[Quagma Blast]

Silly snakepick idea: you pick your civ in one pass, and get to select a city-state class to start next to in the other pass, possibly with the option to pick a particular one. First pick gets the most broken civ they can find, but probably has to deal with an Industrial city-state, while sixth-pick can decide if they want to turbocharge their early Science or their Culture.

[Cornflakes]

World builder does not have an option to select city states. The locations for the city states are set, but the type and specific one are always completely random

[TheArchduke]

Great idea, Quagma, if we could allocate city states.

I like the snake pick and I like that we have a map ready when everyone had their toes into the expansion.

I would suggest we start this baby as soon as Cornflakes has a map and get our civ picks done so we can startup a forum, threads and theorycrafting and give the popcorn gallery a Lurker thread.

I think snake pick sounds good, but I have no experience with how it works.

We have

TheArchduke
Chevalier Mal Fet
Alhambram
Japper
Rowain
Emperor K

for six players.

So either we go with 36 civs and do not ban Scythia.

Or we can make things easier and I will get

5 civs to choose from and everyone 6. I liked our PBEM # 6 pick.

Chevalier and Emperor K go first or all the european players.

Cornflakes would you roll us some civs? 5 for me, 6 for the rest.

Like Alhambram said:

A possible compensation for 3 players with just one expansion leader, 3 most recent DLC civilizations (Nubia, Khmer and Indonesia) shall be rolled for this group players.
Just a idea.

[Japper007]

If we keep ridiculous civs like Nubia and Zulu in I'm fine with keeping Skythia in as well.

[Japper007]

Also time for a subforum!

[TheArchduke]

Will ask for it.

Also Cornflakes if I could hassle for one more small thing, please randomize the turn order. But keep the two american time slots together. Thanks!

[Rowain]

Does snake-pick work in Civ 6? ie can you choose a leader seperate from civ ? (except Greece and soon India)

I very much prefer roll 5 or 6 civs per player and choose from that list.

FFA with in game alliances allowed.

City-trading ok if it is a border-city of the 2 trading partners but no settling/gifting city to an otherwise dying civ (to give the winner more WW )


Time-zone: Wien-Austria so CET (and from end of March on CEDT) = GMT +1 (+2). Playtime either morning (07 AM - 08:00 AM sometimes 08:30) or evening (06 PM till 10:30 PM) in my time.
In GMT : 06 AM - 07 AM (from end of march on: 05 AM - 06 AM) or 05 PM - 09:30 PM (04 PM - 08:30 PM).

I prefer the morning.

[Chevalier Mal Fet]

I'm fine with leaving Scythia in

(let's hope I don't spawn next to the Archduke, who proceeds to rush me with a massive horseman army and make me eat these words). If someone DOES take them, well, we can test how balanced the new anti-cav units are.
