"A History of the World XII" Planning/Sign-Up Thread...

LOL

So much double posting going on here

Ok, I'm an old b@rstard

We need to decide on the map before civ choices.

Earth map makes different choice to pre-made Terra map.

I agree on preferably having only one of each civ but if it's Earth we may need to gforce a few civs in Asia and Africa:

eg need the K'mer, China, Japan, India Mongols, Russia ALL to be taken.

And need the Native Indians as an addition in Africa I think or is Egypt and Zulu enough? Need to check the civ list... there may be others so I better stop crapping on off the top of my head...

[Toni]

even though Toni has done his fair share of organizing too

Well what I have learned these few games, that each one of us should pull some weight thus making the game successful

So thanks Lz, Deity, Capo & H for trying to oraganize a good game

[Toni]

Now my question to who should we with PM these lists?

Our Dutch friend CS will help us with that

[Asmodeous]

Doesn't the idea of naming someone Leader from here instantly toss the anonymity of that person out the window? :|

Me.

[Toni]

Better guys circle that 26th from now



Ok enough time invested here, i'm off

I was wondering why someone would be so interested in making calls across the pond.

I tought he was German, don't know why.
Did he agree yet?

Alright, the 26th is fine. Let me know what you decide to do, I already have an idea as to what Civ I want to be, I just need to see how to choose it.

As far as the map goes, I don't mind if we use a premade map, but I don't know if we should do Earth because, as deity pointed out, we normally play Earth with historic locations and that limits our options.

I don't think we should limit our options.

I've said I'll agree to play anonymously.

USA 12 am (EST), I agree to that.

Basically I am ready to go, and I have a good idea for my civ too. So let's fire it up.

I usually think of my time on poly as wasted.

Valid point though.


Ever since I choose the 26th my love life has improved substantialy.

Oh one final note then

YES Capo lets fire this baby

Agree with Capo - what do we do go?

I realy couldn’t take a game where Ethiopia starts in Japan seriously, but I do see your point. Perhaps there is some middle ground? I do think we have a bit of leeway with certain civs. I mean the Cets were nearly everywhere in Europe, you can place the Russians anywhere in the Eurasian steppes and you can even put Greeks anywhere around the Mediterranean since they had a lot of colonies there. With a bit of historical knowledge other settings become reasonable too, like the Germans could start in Scandinavia were the Germanic tribes originated, or you can put the Turks somewhere in central Asia.

PLANET

a survivalist guide

aka Chiron aka a Civ4 map of the SMAC planet

Think about it, an interesting, realistic looking premade map.

[deity]

Yeah, I'm slightly leaning in favour of pre-made unevenly-resourced Terra map because of the civ choice restrictions.

[deity]

Also, if we use pre-made Terra and Cyber/ozzy gets the 10 or so civ choices I think it would be nice to place them in accordance with their traits.

Eg Portugal on the sea; Japan on an island; Mongols on the steppes etc

Agree?

[deity]

And have no fear ozzy will ensure that all starts have a net good start with different advantages and disadvantages.
