New saturday game :b:

[atawa]

The saturdaygame has finished, time for a new one

We now have the following confirmed players:

atawa
deity
Makeo
trev
Winzity
Woke

Rules:

Not allowed: citybribe, alliences, GW, GL, caravan rehoming, we can play Rah or Aussi rules, if I remember they are both quite similar

Techtrading and stealing allowed.
3 wonders max?

Settings:

1x1x deity
med map/normal land/arch/wet/warm/3bil/huts?


I suggest we start at the same time as in the last game, 9am GMT+1

Please confirm if you can make it saturday.

[trev]

I disagree with the suggestion of a city cap and think the wonder cap can be increased to three. I have doubts about allowing tech stealing but not tech trading, this will lead to either militaristic approaches or else defacto wars involving tech stealing which are used as a substitute for tech trading

[deity]

I'll be in this; plus I think Woke and Makeo want to as well.
I'll post some settings suggestions later on when I collect my thoughts.

[woke]

i can play in this one, but i prefer without GW

[deity]

Wonders 2 or 3, I'm easy - or maybe restrict to 3 but no more than 1 in each age;
No GL or GW fine;
don't like city cap;
maybe play by Aussie Rules? which means tech trading is OK but no alliances. I agree with Trev on this.

[atawa]

As long as either tech trading or stealing is allowed, you've seen what can happen if this is banned, doesnt make for a good game imo.

[deity]

Totaly agree - tech trading and stealing should be allowed but no alliance keeps things above board I reckon.

[deity]

I mean I know everyone will play bona fide but cosy alliances can be just as bad as no tech trading limits sometimes...

[Makeo]

I'm in. Any settings.

[winzity]

I am in

Please ban GW and city bribing.

Woke have to think about that caravan rehoming is banned.

I suggest wet cool 3 billion years because it gives the most fertile land, and it's more fun to play on such land...

If wonder cap please let it be the players choose if he built all wonders in the same age. City cap is not good if not keep to a very low number (max 12).

[deity]

I'm easy on map settings: atawa's are fine and so are winzity's but perhaps moree fertile land would be nice for a change (I'm sick of rocks!)
No city cap though - it limits strategies.
I don't really mind about Wonders - I'm even happy with One Wonder games but 3 is fin in any age.

[deity]

Also suggest set up a scn without huts - they distort games as much as anything else but I'm easy.

[deity]

I assume game slot is Saturdays/5pm Aussie EST?
I can play for 3.5 hours, finishing at 8:30pm.
I could start earlier but not sure if Trev can?

I'm against this. You can tailor your strat to go after the huts or not. Its a choice. Leave em.

[deity]

Yeah, OK, no worries. Just a thought...
