    History of the Universe I Planning/Sign-up thread

    This is a thread about a Final Frontier diplo game. The first Civ4 mod diplo game ever!

    Final frontiers as you probably know is a very extensive mod that came with BtS. It changes Civ4 into a realy good space strategy game, while preserving the Civ feel. Unfortunatley the AI didn't quite understand the changes.

    Most games start their lives as time slots, HOTU I will be different, It will start its life as a idea. So don�t worry about time, just sign up if you want to play in a Final Frontier diplo game with a Ozzy-like score system.


    Once we enough players signed up, we will vote on a proper time slot, some won�t be able to make it, if it�s a narrow majority over another time slot, the others can start HOTU2 or even HOTU3 if it�s a three way split. The remainder can then vote on the specifics and try to recruit one or two extra players. When will it start? Do they want balanced random or premade? Do they play with the 3.13 patch version or the intermediate patch the mod creator published? Ect.

    More info soon to follow

    Useful links:
    A Final Frontier Walkthrough
    post-3.13 Final Frontier patch (before instaling this you have to patch Civ BtS to 3.13)


    Rules: (only three so far)
    1. We play with the Final Frontier mod
    2. A Ozzy-like Score system
    3. No tech brokering

    Players that have signed up:
    1. Heraclitus
    2. Pinchak

    That is 2/8 so far.

    *****

    There is now a pitboss version of this game. There is still room in it for a few extra players.

      I would be interested.

      It is really going to depend on what time you want to play.

        Its like I said the best time will be voted on, the second best time slot will be HOTU2.

            Not sure what GMT is.

            Best times for me would be anytime Sunday or Sunday evening. Monday and Friday mornings would also work. As would friday late night. I live in USA.

            I guess no one else is interested in this format? The mod is actually pretty cool and well thought out.

            The storys would be a nice break from the usual HOTW stuff.

              Wow, no interest it seems.

              If this was a Star Trek site we would have about 150 people responding.

              Come on people. How many times do you have to write about building Stonehenge before you want something different?

                You guys really should post this on a Star Trek site. This forum isn't as well trafficked as it could be, and I'm sure there are others out there who would really like this concept who just don't know about it yet. I'm sure there are plenty of Trekkies or other sci-fi fans out there who have Civ. Expand your reach and see if you can find some new blood.

                  GMT is basically UTC.
                  I'm using it since we are aiming for internation participation.
                  In which time zone are you anyway? My time is
                  CET.

                    You yourself would not be interested?


                    In any case are you registered on any SF site? I’m only registered on one actually. I’ll register on one or two and start threads about this with a link to this site. I may also start a thread on the GlaCiv site.


                    If anyone reading this is registered to any other SF sites, please take the opportunity to spam and start a thread briefly explaining the concept of a diplo game and this particular idea for it and posting a link to this thread. Thanks.

                      Exactly. I would only perhaps put into consideration adding the mod which adds events to it. I think that diplo games get a lot of flavor when they have random events.

                      This is realy weird since, I was sure some of the SMAC people would jump on the opportunity. I mean the factions of SMAC are very similar to the civilisations of FF. In fact you can play the SMAC factions if you want, just rename your civ and pick a civ with similar traits to your desired faction.

                      I know I can't help but think of the Avowers of knowledge as the University of Planet.

                        I have heard there is a patch comming out for the FF mod.

                        Have you heard anything about this? For all I know it is already out. If it isn't, we may want to wait until it is released.

                          Final Frontier is part of the BtS expansion as such it is patched together with the regular game. The last "patch" I remember was made mostly obsolete by fixes the 3.13 version of civ4, sice it included the FF patch. They may be a newer version of the patch but what it fixes will be fixed in the next and final patch of civ.



                          I've taken a look and there is a post-3.13 patch. We can use it, or its next version once the game is up.

                          Organising this game will probably take a month or so in any case, perhaps by then the civ patch will be out? If not we will just use the latest intermediate patch that Jon Shafer provides.

                          In any case I covered this in the OT.

                          BTW What do you think about the map configuration? I think we should use the
                          spiral galaxy map script. Do you favour a premade based on the standard or galaxy script of FF. Or just take what the script generates?

                            It definitely sounds interesting, I like to see diplogames branching out more. I wish we played more mods. But I've got way too much on my plate right now.

                              Yes, I definately think we should use the spiral script. I would also perfer totally random, as in, no pre-made.

                              Once we get the roster of players perhaps we can vote on various settings.
