New Cretaceous diplo style game for USA Fri nights...

[deity]

I've been working on a new map of the Earth in the early Cretaceous timezone. This is a time when the Earth was very warm and arid so there are very few grassland squares. This will limit the big city builders.

I've reduced the relative ocean sizes and reduced the northern landmass to even it out a bit. I'm still working on the forests rivers etc...

Any interest?

USA Thurs, Fri or Sat nights in the next month or so?

EDIT.. inserting latest scn folder as a zip

Sounds very coool I would very much like to play. Im always up for any new (or old ) scenario.

Sounds like Africa was in the TWIF games, it had almost no grassland, so I have the experience to do well, however I am unlikely to commit to any more regular games except in the current TWIF time slot, so I would like that game to finish first. But I am certainly interested then

It would be neat if you could replace the barbs with T-rexes

[deity]

yeah, I was thinking that Jon

So we should play this after twifb in the USA Fri night slot? Jon?

So far:

I think I'll pass on the game. But I'll try the map out a bit.

[Makeo]

i'll play depending on when we finish our current game.

Good on you Makeo!

Thanks ozzy for testing the map with me and Trev. Good session... thoughts so far -
* too much landmass to oceans;
* Continents to be a little bit further apart;
* huts seemed to make it fun and will be better when we have dinosaur barbs

[Caesar Jon]

I could play if it the game was on Sundays. Friday nights are off because I work early Saturday.

Actually we also need to set the T Rex level at Raging.

Bummer. Your time won't work for most of the other players

First draft of Cretaceous scn

here...

* the only change in the enlosed modpak's rules.txt is the tech paradigm at 20 (twice as slow)

* different unit icons - more work needed here

* new terrain

unzip it, put the cretaceous folder in your scenario folder... needs testing.

EDIT... I'll update the first post in the thread with the latest scn. I'll delete the one here...
