[PBEM] GM ReMatch

sounds interesting

as for hordes of immortals and keshiks: the oposite is the fact imho. because ghengis and similar like to rush for their UUs and early warfare units, while we tend to dismiss defences. with classical start we surely have an archer built from the very beginning on

[GeoModder]

Shuffle gives a random map of 4-5 types. A Pangea, continents, fractal, archipalego and perhaps 1 other type can come out of it. And we won't know until we scouted the whole place.

Classic start is ok with me, but if you insist on a horde of Immortals or Kushiks be my guest to start on Ancient.

[sabrewolf]

i won't insist on classical start, but i do quite like it so if you insist, we can also start ancient.

interesting idea with the mix of warmonger and builder AI... i'll check which one is most useful for that, but i presume your choice (lizzie, with philosophical and financial) could be best. or fin+creative. organised and spiritual for the AI is not so strong as it already has advantages with the anarchy times...

what's the shuffle map like?

[GeoModder]

O yes, put culture flipping after conquest and permanent alliances on as well.

[GeoModder]

Mmm, let's take the Greek, and see what that gives. (no early risktaking this time )
Too bad you want another Classic start, but if it means I got some of my preferatations that will do.
Quick game all the way, maestro!

With raging barbs on, 1 mean bugger and 1 economic powerhouse sound fine to me. I would suggest Montie if you choose a jungle type map, and one of the Khan's for a rocky map. Tokugawa could do fine for other climate types.

please note: we don't have to play militaristic. if i have lands like you did, i would also focus on tech- and wonderwhoring

I'll thumb my nose on your imperial ambitions all the way from Alpha Centauri.

How about a "shuffle" map with choosen climate as for choosing the AI meanie?

[sabrewolf]

also, i'd quite like to have another classic start. those first turns are quite annoying. and don't worry, horseback riding is not anymore an ancient tech, so mongols would have to do the detour via the expensive HBR to rush.

i'd also like to have another quick game speed to make this game finished before 2008

[sabrewolf]

geo, do you have any request for your civ?

please note: we don't have to play militaristic. if i have lands like you did, i would also focus on tech- and wonderwhoring

also, any requests regarding the AI players?
i see following options:
a) random
b) the meanest buggers of the game (montezuma, ghengis, kublai, tokugawa)
c) players that will challenge us economically.

[sabrewolf]

Tiny map with 2 players, 2 strong AI's and raging barbs sounds fine to me. Do you have a preference on maptype? I like globe maps.
