Yes, I've always wondered about this as well, it's IMHO butt-ugly, and we have always written it as 'mod'. It even goes so far that a CtP2 news item I sent to DanQ yesterday was posted but, as Dan put it, "with some minor revisions", one of which was that he had replaced my 'mod' with 'MOD'

I post here every now and then, but most of the time I just lurk (since I don't actually play CtP1 myself, SP or MP). This place is often more entertaining than OT

Alright, what do you want? Should we include a small inlet of sea for all players or make it purly land?

A small inlet? I think with as many people as you seem to be attracting (myself included), you might want to just make up a few different games... and I think one with each city being stuck on an island with a little bay, maybe mountains, and a forest it'd really make for a production heavy game with just navy units.

Just having to decide where to put your city would be nice... but what about being given enough PW and tech so that you could just redefine how you wanted the landscape around your city? That way there's still the fairness factor (I can see cities surrounded by mountains now ) but then, of course, they would have to strategize not to use ANY fast moving units for the most part either (except for some of the later ones of course.

I'd be more interested in the game that offered normal tech development, just because I think it'd be more fun IMO to watch phalanxs, legions, archers, and knights duking it out instead of seeing things suddenly crash to the Earth from outer space.

Hey Locutus! Did you ever get in contact with the programmer of the Mac transmogrifier? Just curious.

I think I'd like to go for just land for starters - perhaps try a sea game later.

As for the terrain, I think I'd be boring and just go for half mountains/half grasssland

Possibly - I think I'd rather go for removing the tech requirements on terraforming than giving you the necessary tech. Don't forget that you can't terraform the city square or ocean squares so you have at least some decisions to make.

I'll agree to both of those, one step at a time, right?

*nods* that would be better, otherwise we'd start doling out too many techs anyway. I think just a random map, with the ability to reshape the lay of the land around your one city would probably be the best idea... from my PoV, that way each of us can decide how we want our cities laid out.

So, how much initial PW? And how much initial gold, too, while we're thinking about such things.

The worst case scenario is changing 20 squares glacier into mountain which is 180000 PW - so we might have to give 100000 odd.

Or... Instead of giving thousands of PW at the start, we could simply make terraforming really cheap. That way you'd still have to work for the PW to do farms etc.

The new thread idea sounds like a good one. Just be sure to let us know where you put it, since after I start subscribing to a thread it takes me a little while to go back outside the threads I'm involved in and look around.

I think just making terraforming really cheap would be the best thing to do, you're right, that way farms, etc. would still have to be saved for.

What if the city pollutes to much?

Your really screwed then? No? And money....but true you can edit science. But still. It just seems to challenging.The Support military costs would be enormous. The best you could do is maybe a 10 city challenge. Thats fun. Just ask gavrushka

To emphasize or distinguish? Or they found it writen like this somewhere.
I think there was an old term MOD for some old text-based multiplayer games but can't remember for sure.

My fascist jackboots


Thats my Mplayer strategy. Hold them off till Fascism. But I must 3 things going for me.



1)Good production
2)Science lead
3)infrasturutre


Usaully the Fascism road works. Against almost all opponents. I just roll there musketeers while they dont have explosives....but when I play against Gav or BI. It cant be done. Im adjusting my Gav strategy ; so it like a copy of his own. So when we play. It will be like playing against himself

Needs work tho.
