Diplogame Civ Group: Part 2

[Ming]

They will probably need three or more threads to discuss it, design it, and then vote on it, and then create an alternative universe where world leaders can discuss the impact it will have on the game

1) never post a 1-sentence request. explaining yourself and providing links help

Sorry.

2) is there an estimate on the amount of people involved in diplogames?

According to Raz' last tally, 88 people have played in a diplogame. We have 2 running right now, with a third on the way. Each game involved 5-7 players.

3) you dont happen to have an icon ready, do you?

Working on it.

[Ming]

To make this work... there are specific specs the Icon needs to meet. I remember reading what they were, but can't remember what exactly they are. If anybody remembers them, please post them to make Ozzy's job eaiser.

Yep, all the icons I made were pretty simple and the same parameters. Are DiploGamers only Civ2? It would seem you could do this with Civ3 also.

[Skanky Burns]

Well according to Ozzy's "Civ 2 MP" icon, they need to be 15 pixels wide and 19 pixels high. Its a start, anyway.

You could definately do this with Civ3. Or MOO, or SMAC, or CTP, or anything else out there. Unfortunately though its been limited to Civ2 so far. There has been some talk about doing it in Civ3, but most of the Civ2-MPers were really disatisfied with Civ3-MP, so who knows. I'd still like to give it a shot (if and when I ever get Civ3-MP).

If you are interested in starting up a game, I'd strongly recommend it. It's lots of fun to try, and engrossing. Get some friends into it too.

Well this hasn't yet been voted on by the whole community, but... how does this look?

It looks a little (how should I put this?) personal. Maybe you should go with something a little less gothic....
How's about a Civ 2 dip figure? Could you shrink it that small and still tell what it was?

[DrSpike]

I like it. Stylish.

Yes, a diplo game by yourself may leave you unsatisfied.

I think some people wouldn't have a problem with it though

Most of them live in the OT, arguing with their DLs, at the technological pinnacle of schizophrenia.

Eh, doesn't look all that great.

And what do you mean by personal?
