Chicken Run Challenge

Description

"HI there,
i am currently playing annother CivCTP PBEM game, so i am not such a newbie. But i´d like to playannother one and i´d like to play an eight player game with 24h rule on a normal map. Maybe a little speed up with 5 settlers (maybe 3 are enough) and some differences, like higher rate of production, and less rate of science. (And wonders must have higher costs of course to. In my mind (and the mind of others) this will create a more "war-like" game, because it is much more difficult to increase your science, than your production. Maybe i am wrong, but we´re searching for more players. (Don´t think such a game can be rated, can´t it?)

Kai"

Fuzzball, never played with even the sniff of a Barbarian, let alone Raging Hoards... So I will say Raging Hoards for the experience too.. Just someone post what I should expect - Will it be units other than Warriors that come calling? Does it affect how many Barbarians come from Ruins? Do Barbarians appear from the Outset?

1. ??? not important
2. Raging hordes
3. not! bigger than normal. (The reason is easy to get. It should be a fast and nice game with lots of diplomatics and not that much completly boring settlement. The bigger the map the more settling is important. (In fact i have called for this game, but there is annother game just seconds before starting. We are 7 players right now, if anyone would enter, we'll be 8. Would be nice. (Of course it is not rated)
4. Roman
5. Augustus
6. Male
7. Donut
8. Off
9. On

C:
GMT: good question.. +1 or -1 don't really know.
2. King
3. Germany

But i would only play in this game if it will be maximal a normal map (is it called normal? Don't think so, but i've got no CTP here). It will be my third match, so an 8th player is more recommended than joining annother game. ;-)

Don't be angry with me.

Chickenbrain, you are GMT +1.....I want Deutschmarks for this priceless information.....LOL

I think that a Normal Map leaves too much of a lottery, although I will be happy to play whatever the settings....

Hmm, nice challenge. It seems that this game is going to have great diplomacy and great... wars! My kind of games . I might join...

Well, it's your game Chicken. The question isn't whether you play or not but whether the others will. It's an interesting challenge I could say, in my opinion.

Jafo will join in too, so we are 8 players.

Well, a question. How are we going to make the wonders cost less? To do this we will have to create a mod. And much production and less science? Maybe with a mod too and adjusting the sliders in the game settings. Custom map with mod do not miz BTW.

What do you want me to do with this mod that you sent me Chickenbrain? Distribute it to the others? Test it? Use it to set up the game? All three?

Well I know the bit about Double Clicking on the CTP Icon to boot it up... After that a luck of confusion kinda settles on me..... Just tell me what to do, and I will do it as regards Mods, but will it affect any other games I am playing?

Man you need a Computer Science Degree to play this game.....Oh I have a Computer Science Degree....

The file should be unpacked in .../CivCTP/scenarios. But only the starter needs it. All others will have the right map etc. And it won´t affect the others. Only the starter, who is then capable to select a new scenario. Nothing more and nothing less. Thought you would be the starter.

I'm on someone else's isp right now. My aol unlimited account won't access apolyton anymore, bastards. I won't be able to post threads often , until/if/when the problem is sorted out. Sorry. I can still play turns though. My email is ok. But I am getting returned mail from your mail daemon as well PN. I'll try to post again soon. Thx.

Chickenbrain, I am having some problems with your mod.
The first player gets 3 settler and 1 trireme while the rest get 1 settler. Can you handle it or do you need any help.
You can also take a look at the CTP PBEM Mod Lite at http://www.geocities.com/costas_ctp which is a quite good and working mod for accelerated start.

Yepp, i need help. It isn´t my mod, and i am not very familar with setting up mods. If anyone is capable of finding the error i would be very happy. I´ve mailed to the original modifing person with no response yet. Maybe he´ll find the error, maybe you. Hopefully we´ll start soon!

OK, I'll take a look.

	Enter the AD-FREE zone

It still has some problems.
If your civ is near sea you might get one or two triremes. If you are not near sea you get no trireme. In the test I did I started a PBEM game with three civs. The first got 3 settlers (far away from sea), the second got 3 settlers and 1 trireme (near sea) and the third got 3 settlers and 2 triremes (very closed to sea). At list they all get 3 settlers .
If no solution is found I give it a try in the weekend.
We should also start thinking of giving some phalanxes as well as there gonna be some barbarians around...

I'm getting married (again) on 27 May so I'm looking for a new moderator until 13 June when I get back from honeymoon. If you know anybody who might be interested in moderating (this game, not the honeymoon ) get them to email me. Or you can wait for a start until 13 June...
