[PBEM] Jungle Jumble, 2nd thread

[sabrewolf]

islands sounds cool indeed! or otherwise "medium and small" (then it's nearly guaranteed to have max 1 person per island). we could call it "WATERWORLD" or so...

i'm just looking through the pitboss menu and i propose the following settings:
large "islands" / "medium and small"
normal everything
low sea levels (means slightly bigger tiny islands)
normal game speed
continents size "islands"
islands size: "islands"
overlap: "islands mixed in"
simultaneous ON
turn timer 24 hours


on the game options:
possibly raging barbarians?
choose religions
no tech brokering
lock modified assets


and for the players:
you two stick to what you were before (noble?) and bump me up by two (monarch). that way happiness and health will be killing me initially and negatively thinking AIs. but i'd like the dutch/netherlands again (you can both take them too if you wish). maybe you can put krazy down a level (warlord)?

fill up the other 6 slots with AI...

and to make it very "islandy", let's surely use all seafaring nations: vikings, portuguese, netherlands, english, spain
and fill up with some which also had plenty of shipping to do: carthage, rome, arabia, japan, america?

[sabrewolf]

something like this...

[sabrewolf]

of course replace "america" with whatever you choose.

PS: i wouldn't mind "advanced start" either... ancient age, but 1500 points to be distributed

[KrazyE]

Sounds good to me, Warlord is a level I'm really good at.
I want to be vikings, I'm sad that they don't have longboats....

[sabrewolf]

aebbeka, any news on this one?

[aebbeka]

Yea, I wasn't getting notified again.

Settings look good to me. I'll start it in the next couple days.

[sabrewolf]

super

[aebbeka]

Ok, the game is up, same address/port. I used all of Sabre's settings except I made it Normal Speed. Also, I chose advanced start with the default number of points for the Ancient Era. I don't think I used my points very wisely... oh well.

[sabrewolf]

sounds good!
will gladly try this tonight

[sabrewolf]

darn, i also messed up. not badly, but nonetheless...

when krazy has placed his stuff, we could always go for it again (with slightly more knowledge and thus more effective positioning).

[aebbeka]

I suppose we could restart. Does Krazy want to?

[KrazyE]

sure, my starting spot is really bad.

[sabrewolf]

i messed up again, but this time a bit less than last time

hint: don't waste too much on visibility! a scout/warrior/workboat can uncover a lot more!

hint 2: unused points are converted into money (didn't know that before!)

[aebbeka]

I bought Polytheism, and it gave me Christianity. Didn't give me a choice like it should have. Weird.

[sabrewolf]

maybe because of the advanced start?
but doesn't really matter in the end. you're gonna lose whether you're christian or buddhist
