I'm game, but I like large and huge maps, playing builder style. Is there anyone who likes to play builder?

I like to play as the babs, and go for a culture win. But, if you think that would be unfair then we could disable culture victory and go for space race.

Just thought I'd let you know,

Actually Mel, I too like to "grow into" the game. If we can some more players, I would be willing to give it a whirl.

Ok. Player Listing updated. I've PMed Sons of Stone asking for his in put. Once we have his preferences we can go ahead and light this puppy...unless we want more than 5 players - Thoughts? Are the settings good with everyone?

Can you place me to send to Paddy the POM.

Safer that way due to hours of work and executions of Pommie types

I doesn't matter to me about having AIs in play. What does everyone else think? If we do have them, how many do we want? If we decide to play with AI's and we have 5 human players - then what ... 3 AI's to round it out to an 8 player game? I would say no more than 8 players though so the diplomatic screen can fit all the players on the same screen.

Looks like the war has begun even before the game has begun.

Wittlich, I take it placements are random then?

Ok Player order/listing updated. Have we reached a conclusion concerning having AIs in or not?

Yes, and having culturally-linked starting positions turned off. Oh and if an AI gets destroyed, they are DESTROYED. None of this having the AI crop up again somewhere else on the map.

So, does any one mind having 3 random AIs in the game?

Does this sound ok with everyone?

Ok. I'll wait for 30 minutes longer to give anyone a chance to voice their opinion on the game settings prior to me setting this up...

Oh no!

I don't have C3C yet!

I guess I could go out and buy it. What I don't understand is that Best Buy wanted $29 for it while I can buy it for $9 on Amazon.com.

Are there any retail stores where I can get it under $20?

Hope I don't miss out on the game,
Dan O.

You will need C3C Dan.

Best Buy, CompUSA, or even Curcuit City should have it...

Best Buy has it for $29.99

Comp USA has it for $29.99

EB (Electronics Boutique) has it for $29.99

Circuit City - did not find it.

What I can do is play your turn for you - as long as you can get C3C in the next fews days....

So, should I set the game up with just the 4 of us or do I set it up with all 5 and hope that Dan O gets the game soon?

I'm looking online right now for a good deal. I will buy it today though. It just frustrates the hell out of me that Best buy is carging 322% the cost of Amazon .com! Arrggg!!!!
