Full PM-box? Change here!

i'm interested, but i rather not join if we have 2 civs each because i've already got 2 such games going (but... they are fun )

edit: a fast game otherwise (one or more of: accellerated production, multiple starting settlers, good geography attributes) would be nice too

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

so 1 civ each, accel production

sabrewolf, what is good geography atributes? you mean starting the map in the editor and making sure we get nice start coniditions? and as for mutliple settlers, how many?

and isn't there anyone else out there who wants to play?

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

so we're 3 players now

i think 4 should be enough, unless we can get a reliable fifth?

what does everyone think about world settings?

I'd go for normal size map, random everything else
Random barbarians
No AI civs

as for multiple settler starts, 2 would be the top I'd go for

and for geographical attribs, perhaps random world won't work to well for that

any ideas?

2 settlers are fine

i'm not sure normal world size is good if we're playing with just 4 players and no AI. turns take ages because lands are so big.

everything else random sounds good

I'll play markbalt at ameritech dot net

As for settings, you must set the water percebtage, an 80% will give a possiblity of players not having any expansion room. Also I don't think you'd enjoy a 3 billion year old world unless you like lots of mountains and fewer cows and wheat.

I'll pick civ once the setting are finalized.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

so we'll be 5 players? then normal world size should work out fine

so then:

standard wolrd size

water coverage 70%

barbarian, land mass, climate, temperature and age = random

are these good world settings? and no AI's, and monarch difficulty?

gamecube can you your email address? and everyone else please post your civ preferences or suggestions to the settings

once again i've overdone myself with too many games and i fear the day when i've got to start a new job and won't have time for 2 hours of gameplay each night.

now you are enough (4 without me), i'll withdraw. sorry about it and good luck to everybody... especially swissy to get a better starting location this time...

Tired of ads?

okay sabrewolf, will see you in other games then

i've taken note of the agri civ choices, now just waiting on Rowick's choice

anyone have any preference to gaming time? I was thinking this kind of turn flow:

1- smellymummy (pacific)
2- rowick (australia)
3- gamecube (central)
4- swissy (central)

following that I think we should be able to keep up a turn a day

The turnflow looks good to me.

I was hoping to play mayans too. Anyone mind if I use mayans and just customise the Civ name to something else. ie. Australians, Navaho or whatever??

Seems to be doable, I setup a quick hotseat game last night to test this and it let me use the sam civ twice. If not put me down for random.
