If only we had a scale to measure the players' disappointment in us, the lurker scum. Rego, your services may be required.

Rego double!
While we are being nostalgic and making old things new again, can we please have a single barb sub? Even if it is stranded in a tiny lake with no seafood to murder a work boat, it would make me happy to know the little guy is there. I'm a bastard.
Can those be loaded on the barb submarine, for sneaky and devastating effect?

Well, so far it's been very interesting to see how many of the players are recycling their PB22 assessments; it's an interesting preview for the end of that game for me. Oh, and how differently Gawdzak rates AGG verses the others - though I guess that's been discussed in detail in the PB22 Lurker thread already...

Erebus in the Balance - a FFH Modmod based around balancing and polishing FFH for streamlined competitive play.
But... the joke was the fun part!

Anyone want to help check this map?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1116...wordWBSave Not going for symmetry but if you think anyone is particularly screwed or overpowered, that's maybe worth fixing. Directives were: * Keep landforms+water from PB1 but completely redo terrain - hills, forests, resources, etc. * Add some islands so that everyone can at least contest one. * Starts: Everyone gets a plains hill start, 4+ hills, 4+ forests, and 2+ resources that give 5+ food when improved. * Also taking for granted that everyone should have at least a couple luxes and the important strategic resources. And yes, huts are on.
There is a spew of huts west of the Ethiopia start (middle of the map). Overall hut density seems pretty high. That leaves a lot to chance in terms of balance, but if they voted for huts they didn't say how many.
 Is the map supposed to be a cylinder or a toroid? Cylindrical for now, although that's an easy fix if needed. For balance a toroid would definitely be better, even if there's that narrow band of water between the "top" and "bottom" of the map along the Y wrap. Happiness may need a second look to make sure each civ has access to approximately the same number of different types of early happiness, but I didn't look really close there. The map looks interesting, overall. May need to reduce the number of huts though.
