PBEM42 Planning/Organizing Thread

[Catwalk]

I would much prefer not needing special rules for starting units. I like getting a CG3 warrior. I assume this is instead of the normal warrior, and noone gets a scout? Also, I assume this is CTON? OP only says AW, guessing it'll be the same as 34. Are great artist bombs banned?

I think it's in addition to the normal unit, allowing us to explore and not worry about getting killed by a warrior.

I'm ok with banning artist bombs, if we want. At some point, i should try doing that, I guess.

I'd prefer just getting one warrior, gives players a choice as to how much to prioritize early scouting and harrassment.

My preferences:

* Artists bombs are allowed
* Spies banned (ie don't buy spy units, GSpies cannot infiltrate)
* AW but with banter/bragging thread

Okay, decision; one additional CG3 warrior to either your normal warrior or scout. Still have a choice about how much scouting you want to do, but with heavy barbs and a tight map, it's not fun to just sit tight inside your own culture infinitely. So, you'll get your normal settler and warrior or scout, plus the CG3 warrior.

kjn, you can certainly make an argument for GA bombs and if you guys want them, go for it, but a big issue is with quick-speed culture, a GA pops fifth ring...which is another way of saying "almost a quarter of the map".

Sounds good. thestick, you're still up in the fake snake pick

[kjn]

Oh well, will have to just settle any artist then

Yeah, the culture ratios are off for quick speed.
