	Put an end to popups!

so has anyone heard from BFM about maps yet?

	27-04-2004 12:31									#122
	Got spare money?

Yes! I can have the map done this weekend!

edit: I assume the following:

• I make one map for five players. All four games will thus start on an instance of the same map. The players are responsible for keeping map information to themselves (I won't reveal anything, either).
  
• The resources, huts, starting locations, etc. are the same across every game. However, two instances of the same nation need not necessarily be on the same starting locations.
  
• [edit]I had hoped that seafaring civs would be closer to the sea, but that does not seem to be the way the civs are distributed by the game[/edit]
  
• Every starting location will be 'roughly balanced'.
  
• I'll make the map suitable for C3C patch 1.15. However, I didn't follow all the discussion on the pros and cons of this patch. Which factors should I take into account regarding this issue?? Someone please fill me in! I'd like not to have to mod any tech trees, since I haven't done so before.
  
• The map will be 'natural', so no railroads and stuff in the beginning :-)
  
• I'll go with standard civ colours, city names, etc.
  
• As per Kloreep's suggestion, I'll add another turn to set up the passwords. Everyone please PM me your desired password.
  
• Too bad I can't add any wormholes between the instances of the maps
  
• I'll go with:
  Game Type: Epic
  Difficulty Level: Emperor
  Map Size: Standard; human-made
  Barbarian Activity: Restless
  
• ... (anything else?)
  

If you need to contact me: feel free to email me (apolyton @ rutgermooy.net) or MSN me (msn @ rutgermooy.net) !
I won't be in chat very much due to connectivity troubles

edit2: Do we need another Forum for this game?

I think the Save Game Threads should be kept in the PBEM forum so as to not clutter up this forum, But I see no reason why little updates and stories (or threats ) could not be posted here. Could be fun to share with everyone.

Version 1.15b sounds good, BFM. There are still some bugs even with 1.22 (some a little annoying too), and some people have had difficulty with 1.22 so far.

1.15 is pretty stable as far as I know, and there will not need to be any tech modding - the removal of Radio came after this version.

Will send my PM in a moment

In the player setup screen (the one that shows up when the game starts) -- which options should be turned 'on'?

I propose:

all victory conditions
allow cultural conversions

Turn off wonder victory.

Emperor difficulty sounds alright, but perhaps it would make the religious trait more valuable than it would otherwise be. That'd be my only concern about that. Otherwise, fine.

I would suggest monarch, to speed up the start, but I'm happy with emperor. Turning off wonder victory should happen as well, other wise fine

Im not crazy about Emporer either but the point of this game is to recreate the "in game" conditions as much as possible.

With that being said, if we go with Emporer, that will be fine by me.

Large size map. Use my name (godking) as my password - and I suggest everybody else do the same so that if someone is gone we can find a sub easy. Have a password however, instead of skipping it, because I am in one game that you can easily hit enter and see the next players game (the bum that just nuked me).

Standard map size. To stay as close to the C3CISDG parameters as possible.

	Put an end to popups!

Here is an idea for the map

Get ahold of the map maker for the IDG! FortyJ at CDG!

He generated about 40 maps and then he narrowed them down to 7 and he and Elucidus picked the best one.

FortyJ posted the Biq from one of the maps so we could play at "what if". One of the six NOT chosen.

If someone got ahold of him and told him what we were trying to do he may give us one of the other maps not chosen for this game.

Just a thought.

And no Im NOT going to do it, I got to much other stuff going on right now.

If I use their user names, it isn't really a secret, is it?

Q: How do I set the difficulty? When I set up a PBEM game and select 'scenario', the difficulty box reverts to 'custom' and I'm unable to select 'Emperor'. Or do I set it in the scenario file somewhere?
