Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I'm not worried about the slots anymore- the pool of slot players seems to have evaporated. I'd just like a few players who won't be going anywhere over the next few weeks. One-a-day would be fine, but a few noonishCST/eveningGMT play sessions would be very nice.

I'd like to try out the mods from the Iron Civer scenario I'm considering:
(v1.0)
1> SGLs will be turned off. Copernicus’ Observatory is a Scientific Wonder.
2> Basic barbarians are archers. Advanced barbarians are Mounted Warriors.
3> Democracy has free unit support equal to that of the Republic (1/3/4). Corruption for Feudalism reduced to minimal. Secret Police HQ are available to Fascism insead of Communism.
4> Artillery, Radar Artillery, Tank, Mechanized Infantry, Modern Armor, and Panzer have wheeled property.
5> Ivory is a strategic resource, with appearance ratio of 160 (the same as Iron and Horses), disappearance ratio of 400 (same as alluminum). Tobacco is a luxury resource.
6> Colosseums can be a Tourist Attraction.
7> Espionage is an optional Ancient Era tech requiring only Writing, with a 30 base cost. 'Cursus Publicus' is a new small wonder identical in function to the Intelligence Agency, costing 200 shields, giving 1 culture, available with Espionage and made obsolete by Nationalism. Industrialisation is now the prerequisite for the IA.

I wouldn't worry about playing out the game once the new Tournament starts unless everyone really wants to...

Agreee 100% on this

No opinion RE: Demo, to the other changes;

5> Ivory is a strategic resource, with appearance ratio of 160 (the same as Iron and Horses), disappearance ratio of 400 (same as alluminum). Tobacco is a luxury resource.


And this does what, exactly? If it is supposed to change anything with regards to SoZ, I think it woould be better to make the SoZ 350 shields (or 400shields)


quote:
6> Colosseums can be a Tourist Attraction.


Meh, no opinion...

Hoow much would it cost to actually carry out espionagee, though. If it were cheap enough, No problem. Otherwise

Ivory is spread around just like Iron and Horses, instead of clumped like luxuries. Everybody should have a decent shot at building the SoZ. Tobacco replaces Ivory as a luxury to keep them at a total of 8.

'Steal Maps' has been increased tenfold in base cost to keep maps more valuable. [in fact, maybe Map Making should be made the prereq for Espionage...] Base costs for other missions have been left the same. I never used Espionage beyond stealing battle plans the first few times I played SP, so this is the one that sorely needs playtesting.

Better fix that 'o' key, Krill.

OK, so is would there be 3 players out there who could do some intensive turn sessions around evening time GMT (afternoon EST) over the next week or two? For the weekend, later at night/early morning GMT (evening/night EST) would work, too.

Shoot, anybody want to try to get in a few sessions with this scenario whenever?

[I say Krill, your o key seems to be a bit of a sticky wicket, wot?]

I'll play... I'm still considering stock or mod for the AU game in planning. I realized that this mod would make a lot more sense than the AU Mod anyway, so I'd like to check it out. I'm around for the rest of the evening if we can bang out a bunch of turns.

I can play a turn per day. But I can play most one turn too - evenings GMT (I'm at +2 GMT).
If it is OK, I'll join

Ideally, I'd like to get one or more of these set up where all the players are around during the same period occasionally so we can get multi-turn sessions in a few times a week. If you have a certain period you are regularly available to play (at work, after work, weekend afternoons, etc.), please post the times in GMT.

right now, just going by rough timezones, we have:

The Americas:
Rommel2D [early evening GMT]
Theseus [midnight/early early morning GMT]
Dominae [midnight/early early morning GMT]
Snoopy369 [early early morning GMT]

Europe:
Moonbars [nights GMT]
ormuzd [evening GMT]
Ljube [evening GMT]

Asia/Oz:
Paddy [late morning GMT (all the time, really ;-)]
ricketyclik [late morning GMT]

Actually, it might not be a bad idea to try some 3-person games just to be able to get further into the scenario...

Attached is the IC scenario if anyone wants to try it out on their own- I'm in way too many games myself already...

Remember to set play level before loading the scenario (Monarch to duplicate what we will be using), and to turn off SGLs, AP, etc. before launching- these could not be set through the editor properly.

I think i'm going to be back up to speed in PBEMland now (starting tomorrow, given the time ) that my inventory is basically over, and it's nearly a month until the next beta for Guild Wars, so you can add my name to the list of people playing the beta IC. If a couple of you want to play along with me, especially if you play in the evenings EST/CST (USA) or on weekends (like this weekend!!) shoot me an e-mail (if you don't have mine by now you don't play enough PBEMs ) and we can get it started.

Rommel, is it going to be 4 player in the long run?

The format I've planned out would be 3 4-player games at a minimum in the first round. If we have more than 12 participants, it could go up to 5 5-player games for 25 contestants. The championship game would have 4-6 players, depending on the total number of first-round games.

IE- first round 4 or 5, and 4-6 second round.
