Destruction of Foes (DoF) - Diplogame Light

[Calanthian]

I elaborated some more on this idea. I propose the following LUXURY resource spread:

Resource spread:

The effects of this spread will be the following:

* it will be hard to get luxury resources from far away

* everyone will have one luxury resource in abundance to trade (4)

* everyone will have two other excess resources (3 and 2)

* everyone will have access to 5 luxury resources (4,3,2,1,1)

* by trading one to one this can be increased to access to 11 luxury resources
(this will be hard to achieve as you will need to have met these civs)

* access to all 12 resources can only be achieved by other means

* furthermore it will be interesting to put some special resources on islands in the mediterranean.
(early battle ground)

and last but not least:
* it will make positions in the middle more interesting, as these have easier access to luxury resources in every direction..

Extended setup:

One other proposal I have is to let players start with:
2 settlers,
2 workers,
2 warriors,
2 scouts
and maybe even 1 boat.

This will make the game interesting a lot faster..

I'm in only for a simple diplogame light game with no mods, no extra stuff, just a simple game.
No balancing with tears, etc.

Feel free to go ahead without me. But that's all that I can handle right now.

[OzzyKP]

Please add your name and vote. You do realize that the "custom resources" are just different pictures for the same resources, right? No one is suggesting mods. A small number of custom civs (2-3) is up for a vote (vote no if you don't want them) but no other changes to rules or anything.

Different pictures is a mod, you have to load stuff to make it work.
This game is supposed to be a diplo game light. It's my fault that it's not started yet b/c I didn't really pay enough attention to this thread, so it's very acceptable that the light-game is hijacked by a mod game but it's not what I had in mind and like I said, I just can't handle another complex game.

There's no complexity, it's just some new pictures and names for old resources. I think I could make it 100% clientside even, as I know my custom artwork for other game aspects doesn't conflict with DoE.

Hi peeps, I've been playing Civ4 PBEM style games for a long time and want to try my first steps in Pitboss. People like Calanthian and 2metraninja pointed me at this thread. Can I join ?

in-game it's not complex, but to organize it it is.

[Calanthian]

I can vouch for Deztro. He is a experienced, prompt and dedicated player.
(diplomacy is well developed, his storytelling could improve )

Well, okay, I assume there's 0 issue with me making a 100% voluntary clientside mod that I can post here? Should be ready inside of a week. Otherwise, we can all just squint sort of and pretend bananas are olives or whatever

Thanks Calanthian for the effort.
