Interesting question. Something we should think about.

And Ok - I guess Paddy choosing 6th takes the English. (Again - I hope it is perfectly clear why it was important to wait. )

So - back to me for the seventh pick. Hmmmm...

Tough choice for seventh pick. I was thinking of taking a second agricultural civ - either the Iroquois or the Aztec. But I have decided on the Chinese.

The Dual Dynasty - Sumeria and China.

And oh - good name for the game. Dual Dynasty.

diety or sid level would be great

crank lots of things up real high

I so wish that Firaxis had spent some more time on these settings - so so many things that could be made harder

well I keep paying them so they don't need to care do they

sure right of course it is

the best thing of hanging out here is that sooner or later someone will either take pity on me, or get sick of my making another error and then explain to me just what is going on

being a drunk allows for a great deal of patience as you sometimes have to wait for the next pub / club to open

this helps me through these times

not quite sure how this helps you though

We need to decide on game parameters.

World size - standard or large?

Barbarians? Random?

Landmass - Pangaea

Water coverage ? Random?

Climate, Temp, Age??? Random?

And last but not least - difficulty level??

World size - large to huge it would be good to have a game that gets into the modern time zones

Barbarians - Raging

Landmass - Pangaea

Water coverage - 60%

Climate, Temp, Age - All Random

And last but not least - difficulty level - bad, real bad, the meanest ugliest that it can be made
that is Sid on all levels and up the anty on other sliding scales

I wouldn't mind a large map. Might be fun with this concept.

Raging barbs

Pangaea

Water and climate I don't care.

Difficulty level - deity or sid to slow down the potential tech pace.

Just so you know: there is a drawback to choosing Sid difficulty in that Expansionist civs are a lot weaker, since Goody Huts do not give the full plethora of "goodies" on that level. Also, if you pick random for Barbs and end up with "None", Expansionist civs will be playing with (less than) half a trait.

I hope you enjoy your game!

Umm...deity difficulty please.

Thanks Dom, I completely forgot about that since I don't play Sid much (at all).
