Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Setup Thread]

[St Jon]

I agree 10hrs is too quick once the game gets moving. The very fast turns at the start are good but later with close neighbours and valuable real estate to claim a turn a day is fairest.

[WarningU2]

Count me in please whenever the game starts.

Off topic but if anyone is looking to scratch a pitboss itch right now and show civplayers what a great civ player you are ... we need a sub for a game to play as England since Bantams left unexpectedly. No need to join the civplayers league.

If you are interested please post in the thread above and or contact canucksoldier (he is host).

England has a reasonable start and land with islands to populate nearby too - we're turn 119 and its currently 2 turns a day - so its a good "practice" play for you. No barbs.

Hey 2metraninja, you're most welcome!

I'm going to relaunch the preparations for this game in the coming week!
I'll come with an improved suggested rule list, which incorporates all your ideas (if possible).

[Black Knight 427]

So how much longer till we start this up?

[WarningU2]

Bueller ... Bueller ... Bueller ?

[Pinchak]

I'm still game and very much looking forward to this game as long as we don't stick with a 10 hour timer. Maybe the first 100 turns or something but to expect people with active lives to log in twice a day is a bit much.

[Robert]

I have a very active life, but playing twice a day is no problem. I play when I wake up and when I go to sleep. Every day I wake up and every day I go to sleep, so that's not that hard

Yes, this is going to start, I'm sorry for not living up to my promise for last week, I'll make a new one: this week I'll continue the setup.

[Toni]

Good news.

[St Jon]

Happy tidings indeed.

[Robert]

According to many, sunday is the last day of the week.

[St Jon]

Having grown up under the tutelage of the catholic church who am I to argue.

You realise that we've been playing one turn a day for weeks now?

An mzproxless game would be good...

We get Civ 5 on Sept 25 in Australia (pre-ordered and paid!)

But are we still doing a Civ 4 BTS diplo for Destiny?

[Robert]

Sure, why not. The game won't ship with pitboss (which will be released later as a patch or something).
I'd suggest we play on normal speed. Then we all have a chance to get familiar with Civ5 before we start a game!
