	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I have played on a six-player large map - as the Carthaginians. Great builder experince - but awfully boring.

Playing as the agricultural Celts - you should kick butt on a large map. That is what I was referring to.

Make it a small map - it will increase the interaction - and therefore the interest level - and mitigate the positive effect of the agricultural trait. Otherwise - unless the others pick the Sumerians, Dutch, and the Iroquois, you have probably won the game before it started. Now - if you all choose agricultural civs on a large map - that would be interesting.

And the only thing, IMHO, that would merit a 4-civ, large map game. Bit of an experiment. See what comes of it.

As to giving you the Koreans - just pulling your leg in that the Koreans are one of the identified weaker civs in the game.

indeed old chap

was pulling ya leg with my question

ahh it is all good

but a huge map can make for a great end game

and 4 players and 4 ai's should still be fun

Yeah small map is my preference, I could be pushed to std but it would take some pushing.

Now i was thinking of the QuickCiv scenario for this game. What ya reckon? It's very good for pbem's as your cities grow so fast & units/improvements/wonders get built v fast too. Whole game is 135 turns. If we do you's might wanna repick your civs. Korea rocks in QC.

Bogor - many thanks. Paddy is right. I am a colonial from the other end of the Empire. (ie Canada). I am more than willing to play if you need me, but there would appear to be a plethora (fabulous word) of capable and willing players from down under.

Have great fun with the game.

Where do I find out how quickciv works? And why are we playing this version, with a limit of only 135 turns?

Hmmm, we're playing quickciv because I suggested it in the original post & nobody objected or suggested any other type of game.

If you load up quickciv it will give you a description of how it works on the scenario information blurb. Also once the game is launched you can check the civolopedia for details.

Quickciv is basically AP civ on steroids. All units & buildings & wonders are like half price, workers work super fast, there is no despotic food penalty, techs are cheaper & there are only 135 turns because thats all it takes to get through to future techs, & settlers cost 3 pop points.

It works very well in pbem as your civ develops very quickly, what you have to watch out for is quick redundancy of units, upgrading is very important & also it's easy to earn money, as improvements are done so fast & your cities grow so fast.

I suggest you all try a couple of games SP, but note that the AI isn't really geared up for quickciv & is thus very easy to beat. Note that Agr becomes an average civ trait due to the removal of the despotic food penalty. So if you all would like to restart & pick different civs thats cool, or you could just use it as a learning experience.
Quickciv really is an excellent well balanced, fun scenario well worth learning. & Korea rocks in Quick civ!
