intersite BtS PitBoss

[Whip[lash]

I am offering to be the host/server for an inter-site Beyond the Sword PitBoss game. This invitation is going out to CivFanatics, Strategamer, Apolyton, and PAL. The idea is to play a team game with players from each site forming a team.

My thoughts for the setup are as follows but are negotiable based on input from the teams:

The map will be a Large/Small map with the snaky continents feature and the islands feature. If teams can muster four players each the map size will he huge; if we can only manage to get three players per team we play on a large map.

The game will be simultaneous turns, no double moves allowed, 20-22 hour timer (tuned to make turnovers happen around 24 hours if not everybody plays).

No City Razing - ON
No City Flipping from Culture - Off
City Flipping after Conquest - Off
No Barbarians - Off
Raging Barbarians - Off
Aggressive AI - Off
Random Personalities - Off
No Technology Trading - Off
Permanent Alliances - ON
Always War - Off
Always Peace - Off
One-City Challenge - Off
Permanent War or Peace - Off
New Random Seed on Reload - Off
Lock Modified Assets - Off
Require Complete Kills - ON
No Vassal States - Off
No Tribal Villages - Off

All Victory conditions Enabled.

I also would disallow the Portugese and Native American civs as I believe they are excessively powerful.

I offer this as a starting point. All of this is negotiable between the teams.

If your site is interested, recruit players, elect a captain, and contact me at whiplash@wi.rr.com

Is the intent to have four civs, with players representing those civs, or 16 civs, in four teams of four?

[Whip[lash]

The latter.

[GeoModder]

You omitted the option whether or not tech brokering is enabled (a player can only trade techs he/she researched). What's the choice there?

[Whip[lash]

I was undecided on that option when I posted. All of the settings are up for negotiation between the teams.

Do you have four players now to form the Poly team?

Once the teams are formed I will start a thread for discussion of details.

PS: Besides the posts here, I have received an e-mail from Southern Cross.

Umm - I'm really confused (happens easily - I know), but are you after ONE team of four people from each site, or FOUR teams of four people from each site?

[Whip[lash]

Four players from Apolyton for team #1
Four players from CivFanatics for team #2
Four players from PAL for team #3
Four players from Strategamer for team #4

All (16 players in one game)

Teams play against one another.

[Nugog]

Why only four players in a team?

Why not just one team from Apolyton - no matter how many members?

He means 4 independent civs from each site, teamed up through in-game mechanics.

Sweet then!

Sounds good.

ok, details forthcoming.

[Whip[lash]

OK, time to roll.

I would like teams to organize by choosing one player as captain, or spokesman for his team. I have set up a thread at CivFanatics to have the captains discuss the game details. I would prefer to have only the captains post here rather than have the confusion from 16 posters.

I suggest that we allow duplicate civ’s rather than any kind of selection process. This isquicker and more fare. Captains need to decide which leaders their team will take.

When the game starts I would each player to use his name with a team tag so that all can understand who is on which team, example: PlayerJoe [CDZ]

Right now captains should be discussing game details with their teammembers.
