Idea: 4 players each with 2 or 3 ai's allied.

Options: Open for discussion.

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 04:36

yeah i will play

notyoueither · April 6, 2006, 04:38

OK. Let me know the rules.

CerberusIV · April 6, 2006, 04:43

I'll bite.

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 04:51

looks like we got us a game

I like pangea large maps

but open to change

what about continents?

James · April 6, 2006, 04:53

4 players

Continents is alright.

I would like to pick my civ but have the ai random. Ceasar of Rome for me please.

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 05:04

I like the pick your own civ bit

Elizabeth of the English for me then

notyoueither · April 6, 2006, 05:07

I'll pick after you guys all do, unless you insist I go next.

Ancient start?

CerberusIV · April 6, 2006, 05:15

Mansa Musa for me (he keeps winning my SP games at the moment - as an AI!).

Continents or pangaea maps would be OK.

Tech trading - should it be turned off? I'm not thrilled at the possibility of my AI ally trading Civil Service for an irrelevant tech with another AI (can they do that?).

I'm going to be away from tomorrow until 15th April and won't be able to play until then so take your time setting this up right.

James · April 6, 2006, 05:22

I think the AI follow th humans lead on tech trading in a team.

Ancients is good with me.

notyoueither · April 6, 2006, 05:32

I guess I have some time to choose a civ, since cerb just took what I'd have preferred. Grrrr.

No worries. Let me ponder on it for a bit and I'll have an answer in good time.

James · April 6, 2006, 05:37

A 9 day break, where do I apply?

notyoueither · April 6, 2006, 05:40

I would really like to keep this game alive for when Cerb returns. He is reliable and a worthy foe.

Look elsewhere for instant gratification.

James · April 6, 2006, 05:41

A 2nd game then? Three player?

notyoueither · April 6, 2006, 05:42

And besides, he's a Gooner, and we're gonna win the Champions league!@!!!!

Yayayyayayayayayayayayayayy!

Could be three, or we could find a very brave lad to step in as a fourth. Let's see what the thread attracts.

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 05:44

we setting up a 4 player game... AND a 3 player game?

James · April 6, 2006, 05:47

Paddy, glad you have a grasp of the situation.

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 05:49

James · April 6, 2006, 05:56

I am happy to have Grandpa Troll join.

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 06:35

James · April 6, 2006, 06:45

I suppose you want a game setup and a save sent now?

Paddy · April 6, 2006, 06:47

James · April 6, 2006, 06:57
