Double (2-city) elimination
Tiny pangaea, 60% water
Monarch level
Climate/Temperature/Age Random
Roaming Barbarians
Y-Wrapping on
Cultural conversions on
Scientific Great Leaders off
No culturally linked start
Last player must set NoAIPatrol to 0 in their .ini file
The map will be previewed to make sure there are no island starts. All seafaring tribes will be assured of a coastal start

All Parts of Warrior Code included.
A player making any attack must indicate to the defender that it has taken place and provide a brief summary of units involved, along with damage taken.

Games will be played with a new Iron Civer Scenario:
(v1.2)
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 and becomes available with Industrialization.
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. [Note: This really isn't as important as the rest of the mods here- its more of an 'indigo' mod. A laurel wreath goes to any master of arcane trivia that can explain what that means...]
7> Espionage is an optional Ancient Era tech requiring only Writing will require Map Making, 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. Steal World Map missions have a base cost of 10 instead of 1.

A few reminders about this game:

The 'Iron Civer Scenario' is being used.
A player's turn may be skipped after 36 hours have passed.
Any player that looses their second city is eliminated from the game.
The first round ends at noon GMT Nov 1, 2005- winners will be determined by score among surviving players.

Please make a post reporting the save has been sent and what year as frequently as possible.

Once everyone has reported into this thread confirming readiness and that Masuro has the barbarian fix, the game will be generated and sent...

[Andydog]

Thanks very much Rommel!

Bring it on!

[Swissy]

I'm ready. My turns play address is swissyciv AT gmail DOT com. But I think Beta knows that already.

[marcuspeddle]

I've added the barbarian fix to my ini file. I'm assuming it's the right file I edited. Anyway, it's a text file and the only one I can edit.

[marcuspeddle]

MFCamillus, what's your email address?

[marcuspeddle]

Oh, there it is at the top.

Let's get going!

[Andydog]

My email address should be:
andydog .. gmail... com


And yeah! Let's get going!

[marcuspeddle]

I've sent email to the missing. Hopefully they will report in soon.

[MFCamillus]

Checking in.

Sorry. Missed the fact we had tracker threads in the setup thread.

[marcuspeddle]

It took me a while to learn about them as well.

[Beta]

Greetings ... Andy, my e-mail addy is brucehynes57 ....a$$$t.... rogers ....dot..... com.

Only problem is that I leave tomorrow for a business conference out west and won't be back on-line until Staurday morning (edt). Will play my turn then if the game is underway.

Looking forward to it gents. and

[marcuspeddle]

Everyone has checked in so let's get started.

[Rommel2D]

to MFC

Please note that ocean % was changed to 60 to accomodate the fifth player.

May the best player crush the rest...

[marcuspeddle]

What? I thought we were going for a diplomatic victory?!?!?!?

[Rommel2D]

Maybe you're thinking of the Ironing Board Civer Tournament over at CFC??

[MFCamillus]

3950BC to AndyDog

[Andydog]

Not.
Very.
Happy.

Would call a restart but I see that isn't allowed..
What is it with me and these Iron Civer starts????

Okay enough moaning.. save onwards to Beta!

[marcuspeddle]

Who is away for several days.

[Rommel2D]

Beta goes on freeze time as of 3AM GMT on the 17th...

47 hours used. 289 hrs left.

[marcuspeddle]

What is freeze time? The game stops?

[Rommel2D]

from the Tournament Laws:

13) All players are allowed a total of 2 weeks worth of time for the preliminary round to miss their turn without having it played for them. Advance warning must be given to the moderator.

Once all 2 weeks of time are used up, I will play the turn for the player after 36 hours...

[marcuspeddle]

Thanks. I missed that.

lol ... nice to see that Green Theater isn't the only game with tough starts

[ormuzd]

red theatre did not even start

[Andydog]

Chaps, I've had another look and I'm seriously calling a re-start.

I think a tournament like this most definitely needs even starts so that we all have an equal chance to prove our skills. Even Friaxis has acknowledged the poor RNG of starting positions.

Being stuck in mostly tundra is just not cricket. Rommel, further to my PM of Wednesday, please re-consider!

[marcuspeddle]

If we restart it isn't really an iron-civ game.

[Andydog]

Why do you say that? They were allowed in the first iron civer.

[marcuspeddle]

Were they? Still, to me a bad start is part of the challenge. But I don't oppose a restart if anyone feels strongly about it.

[Andydog]

well, I don't feel strongly enough about it to create a bad vibe. I'd rather Rommel, who I know to have good judgement, make his own mind up about this one.

Whatever he may decide, I'll play, enjoy, and give it my best shot.
