Dale's mod, if I remember correctly, has England, France, Portugal, Spain, Dutch, Chinese, Russians, and pirates. Possibly Sweden as well. So more than enough for us.

Could you post a link to his mod?
Also what do you think of players switching civs they control every X turns?Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

I'd like to try a col diplo game if we could set up one. (as for the original game mechanism I remember after wining my first game we played a special contest: who could win the fastest on the highest difficulty. I can't remeber how many turns it was exactly but ridicously few..like within 20-30 turns)Comment

, btw I was interested and looked up the old thread, here it is:
my best was 5x turn. (It's not about how good someone is, but about exploits. Though unfortunately it is impossible not to use these exploits once you know the game mechanics)
*edit: those mentioned exploits btw help to have the revolution faster and beat the king's army, they don't have anything to do with the other aspects of the game.. just telling before you think we had many cities with great economy on turn 30.. on the contrary actually 1 city with i pop, lots of cannon etc )

Are you refering to the original Col or Civ4 Col? They may have fixed some of the exploits...
also if you know the exploits and can use them perhaps you should play as Russia, Pirates or China. Keeping your ships fortified we could have you start in 1600 or something... that way even thou you knew the exploits the others would have a headstart and it would also make a diplogame first. A civ entering into the fray midgame.
Also I specifically said we should turn the revolution victory off and come up with our own criteria for victory.

Ok, I'm not certain if all these players will commit to playing in this game, but here is my list so far:
OzzyKP
Dubhghlas
CyberShy/Robert Plomp?
St Jon?
deity
LzPrst
Heraclitus

This game is now FULL. If these players, for whatever reason, drop out, then they can be replaced by new people. But I want a smaller game, so no more players. If we end up going with Lz's vizier system I will push for 7 civs with one of the above players sitting out initially as a vizier. If no one volunteers for that, I'd be happy to do it.
So, the above 8 people need to vote on various ideas for this game. For each question possible answers will be yes, no, abstain and NEVER! If you pick NEVER! you are indicating that you will not play in a game with that option. Obviously we want everyone to agree on the type of game and have everyone play in the game, so we'll try to pick options that everyone likes the best. But it is entirely possible that we won't all agree and will lose players because we've picked an option you can't stand. I'm ok with that. Just answer honestly.

Robert Plomp - please read your PM's.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.Comment
