    Can we lose the balanced setting??

    Life (and Civ) is about making the best out of the hand you're dealt, not being dealt an even hand......

    Personally I have no gripe if Player X is in a slightly better position then Player Y.

    Provided I am Player X of course!!!

      I'm fine with that, especially since there's that whole Vassalage thing now for those poor player Ys that end up in that bad spot.

      Civ and WoW are my crack... just one... more... turn...

          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.

            Indeede. Makes things a bit less predictable as you don't know if for instance Meditation, Polytheism or even Monotheism is reasearched if a "X religion is founded" message scrolls over your screen.

            AFAIK that's not one of the options that ship ingame or did I miss something in the setup screen? Either way, I'm all for a BtS-civ Pitboss game, and can only pray one of the 3 "unbalanced" ones goes my way.

            Okay, seems like the most important options have been decided upon.

            Perm Alliances? Raging Barbs, Cultural Flip? Other options? How about those?

                  Is one game of vengeance not sufficient for you?

                            Random BtS civs would be a ms.snoopy provided option (She'd pick names out of a hat or somesuch.)

                            How about Big and Small as the map type? It is a nice largeish map that provides an interesting balance between continents and pangaea ... we played it last night and it was pretty fun.

                            Do I have the current roster correct at:

                            snoopy369

                            Nugog
                            FlameFlash
                            Geomodder
                            RobWorham

                            ?

                              Okay, i've set up a "test" game. It is with all of the agreed on settings (and big+small so you can see the map), but random civs. Please attempt to connect to this game so we can see how well it works...

                              Connect to snoopy369.dyndns.org:2060, password 'flamer' without the quotes.

                              If this works i'll start the game early next week once we've agreed on settings
