The Eden game rocks!

Five of us started on five roughly equal continents in terms of land and resources. The minimum separation between a continent was 3 ocean tiles. We gave ourselves 3 traits (so as to get rid of the overpowered Ag trait), chose our UU and went for it.

Here is the thread.

We could do something like this but with 4 bigger continents? We would need someone independent to set it up (could get them to set up another Shogun game at the same time).

Conqueror set up the Eden game for us, but he doesn't come to poly much so it might be better to get someone else to do it.

Are we keen for this? I am.

If so does anyone know someone who could set the game up?

there are several good game creators

Rommel
Big Furry Monster
Togas

I have sent Rommel an email, to see if he would be interested

as to the Shogun game, well it has been setup and is running... well has run to Andy's joint, awaiting his arrival home I dare say...

actually as it is Friday night in the UK, will you two lads been in this evening, or out and about

Been out...drank london dry and now recovering on the sofa watching Super 12 rugby

soon to be followed by test cricket

I see my sharks got thumped by the worst team in the competion, I'm hoping that doesn't make us the worst team, suppose it does i dare say!

I was out last night, went to see a friend sing at a south London club. She was very good! Just her singing while playing guitar.

Rommel must be busy with Iron Civer, perhaps BFM could help?

Looking forward to this one!

We need to start thinking about what traits we want, and what UU's. Also need a name for our tribe. Do we want to consider any other rule changes? Perhaps to help balance the game?

Rommel is happy to do it

Okay well that's great, thanks Rommel! If tournaments etc are getting on top of you, just let us know.

In the meantime here is a pint of my finest amber lager, courtesy of old man skanky himself.

Guys i was thinking about the detail in the set up, and came up with this:

The Land Down Under

Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
Took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Classic Pennywise song
