  • Second Pitboss Diplomacy Game

    This is the organization thread for a second Pitboss Diplo game. The diplo FAQ applies same as it does on the normal pitboss game. This will be a smaller (fewer players not necessarily smaller map) and shorter game, both of these are due to the fact we will be using the official Final Frontier mod that came with the Beyond the Sword expansion. Final frontiers as you probably know is a very extensive mod that came with BtS. Unfortunatley the AI didn't quite understand the changes. It changes Civ4 into a really good space strategy game, while preserving the Civ feel.

    This game will be big on atmosphere, since a SF back-story will allow many opportunities for great stories. Anything from Star Trek references to reviving SMAC factions is possible (to be completely clear we will use the preexisting factions, but you will be allowed to name yours whatever you want).

    We will use the spiral galaxy map script to generate the map. We will need to vote on whether we will want a premade map based on this script or whether we will go with whatever it makes.

    We have room for 1 more players.

    Players that have signed up:

    1. Heraclitus
    2. OzzyKP
    3. Vampgelus
    4. deity
    5. dacole
    6. Pinchak
    7. Rasputin


    More info soon to follow

    Removed

    We will be playing with the latest patch (3.17)

    Rules:

    1. We play with the Final Frontier mod
    2. We employ Ozzy-like Score system
    3. No tech brokering
    4. 10 tech voucher rule
    5. full kill? (kills are not supposed to happen, but I think a saftey feature like this one might be good, otherwise we might loose a civ to pirates )

    Map settings:

    1. Galaxy script
    2. Large map
    3. Epic speed
    4. Huts present

    Updated after the release of the 3.17 patch

      I'm in too. What will be the game speed ? I never played that mod for more than an hour, so i'd like to get a feel for it before we start.

            Epic or Marathon. I haven't decided yet, we will call a vote on it. Usually when I play FF I'm done more quickly than the normal game. So I assume playing this game on marathon will be like playing the first pitboss on epic.

              After trying a few games, i have to suggest something : hut's off, you can get the "religions" with the huts, what really doesn't help the game balance, especially if you consider how powerfull theese are.

              Oh yeah and... epic should be long enough ^^

                  The religions are not all that unbalancing really. Especially since you do get points for spreading them. Epic should also be long enough. Playing with real people I expect the game to last longer.

                  Has it ever been decided if wanting someones territory if you build up to it story wise is an acceptable reason to go to war?

                    Yeah, but only if the story isn't an excuse to tell "i want all the land, and you get screwed!".

                      Count me in if there is still room.

                      Pittboss moves so slow I should have time for two.

                        Exactly.

                        PS: The more creative you are the more you will be able to get away with.

                        As to "religions" I think they are called "values" (survival, power, knowledge and... I don't remember the others).


                        @Pinchak: No prob there is still room.

                          I as well vote for epic speed (or normal).

                          You guys really have no idea how slooooow pittboss moves.

                            How are these different from Democracy Games?
                            I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                              Very different. No teams, no voting, lots of RPing.
