I think BTS would be the best any way.

Since difficulty level doesn't effect the AI in multiplayer probably noble.Originally posted by Indiansmoke
Sounds good...it will be messy but propably fun.
Some questions:
What difficulty level?
What map?
Civs random or chose?
Huts and random events?
Tiny Pangaea with low sea levels probably, open to other suggestions.
I don't know, probably random.
Sure why not?
BTS.

Why is that snoop? I am not having any issues with vista and warlords.Originally posted by snoopy369
Hmmm, I could join if it's BTS I suppose (can't play warlords right now, damn vista!).
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
So, random civs? Is that what we are going for?
I also like the rest of the set-up.
I would prefer no AI. Even 9 civs on a tiny map is going to be crowded.
I just find that depending on your starting location to one or more AI's, it can create an imbalance right from the get go.

Why is that snoop? I am not having any issues with vista and warlords.I'll try to get it to work at least long enough to get the PTBS's restarted this weekend. Maybe just a reinstall will do it.
It just shuts down about a second or two after I run it, no reason given (no splash screen).

As stated earlier, I am easy with any further refinements to the settings.

If no AI may I suggest raging barbs? They won't last long before the map is filled up but it will make for a trickier start.

This will be in BTS correct? I don't have warlords...
That is correct Indiansmoke.

I don't suggest Raging Barbs, only because there is so little room that it be a huge unbalancing factor - someone would get unlucky and get a ton of barbs, nobody else would. Not as fair as a game with some space (so everyone has to deal with them).
Also, raging barbs is less useful in MP because people build military anyway...

Sounds interesting. How do I play this? I've only tried mp once and it was pretty lame...

I prefer 18 civs, even if AIs have to be added. The crowdedness is why I'm interested in the game.
AI is affected by the difficulty level of the human player btw. I play on Emperor.

This will be a pitboss game. You may want to read up on that first. Basically it is like a pbem game, but instead, you log onto the host's site (the pitboss) and play your turn, every 24 or 36 hours or whatever the predetermined length of the turn is.Originally posted by Traianvs

You probably played a MP game in real time. It is not a mode of civ that I like either. Pitboss combines the true strength of civ's turn based foundation, but with an approach that makes true MP games move relatively fast (realtive to pbem games)
Jump in and give it a try!

My sense is that it is going to be plenty crowded without AI's. Especially as new players keep rolling in.I prefer 18 civs, even if AIs have to be added. The crowdedness is why I'm interested in the game.

12 civs on a tiny map!!
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
I just started a SP game with 12 civs on a tiny pangaea map with low water level. It IS crowded. I met 7 or 8 civs in the first 4 turns.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
Yes 12 is more than enough I think...so when do we start?
Sounds interesting, but it'll take a long time I'm sure. Better get it started as soon as possible.

No, the AI is on Noble at all times. YOU are on emperor (penalties), but any AI's you have are at noble.Originally posted by Maniac

Sorry I havn't posted, I won't be able to start it until around the start of December. If you want to go ahead without me I won't be offended.

Well, since you were the one who started this game idea - I feel that is is only fair that we wait for you to come back in early December.Originally posted by EPW
