Aussie Group MP Game.

Although nothing is certain with my work, it appears like I will have the afternoon free tomorrow, so I am hoping a few people will turn up to play.

If you mean Saturday I should be around but maybe a bit later than normal...

Guys i won't be here on Saturday so play without me. But I will be 100% on Sunday 1pm. Lets all try to be on time so we can have a great session

Just reposting this in case we don't get a full house today and decide to continue...

Ok, a few guidelines to suggest:

Restarts?

Not needed. I think we can get a bit precious about this.

Maps?

If we play with around 7/8 players I really think the Huge Balanced Terra map should give no one any cause for restarts and keep the game interesting for the long term.

Earliest war?

2000BC - just to avoid stupid early kills. After that I guess anything goes.

If someone doesn't show?

We vote on playing. Need all present players to agree on continuing. If so the missing player/s go AI. If it's prior to 2000BC, you can't touch them. No negotiating with AI except to ensure peace. Human players NOT to attack the missing player/s AI before 500AD. After 500AD anything goes. If you don't show and all players agree to play on then human AI's can get done.

This is consistent with my reasoning before except that we didn't vote. Upon reflection we should have voted and agreed on what happened.

Is this fair and agreeable to all?

A good session today for most players, although several continued to suffer from apparently relentless barbarian attacks. In particular Alex who lost all his cities to barbarians and therefore is the first player to exit the game. A pity he never learnt iron working or learnt it early enough to benefit from it as iron was available in his capital which I now own following the capture of it from barbarians. Vile who was much closer failed to make its capture a priority early enough, despite knowing its location, which I was unaware of for 30 turns plus after its capture by barbarians.
Several players still have no religion and deity has began begging for missionaries which still have not arrived in his cities or mine, however I expect to learn philosophy soon if all goes to plan so maybe Taoism will come my way. Certainly a religion, any religion will help economy, culture, happiness in future sessions of the game.
