Thuesday night eurotime diplo.

[VetLegion]

Shyt if there is a Serb on board you need a Croat too. I can be subbed when I kick his ass

cvetko, salim se

[Ljube]

VetLegion, does this mean you are playing too? And yes, all nationalities are welcome.
Forgive me for answering in English, but my Macedonian is embarrassing.

[germanos]

Yay, a six-way. And on Tuesday as well?

[VetLegion]

LjCvetko, I'm Croatian

Yes, I would be interested in playing too. I am in the GMT+1 timezone. 20:00 would be earliest I can play, I would be more comfortable with an hour or two later, but if it suits everybody else, I'll adjust.

And if this is a serious diplogame we need rules decided upfront. I suggest taking rules from an earlier diplogame.

Oprosti, napisao sam odgovor bez razmisljanja. Kad sam ponovo procitao tvoj post shvatio sam si ti taj Hrvat koji nam treba, kad vec imamo Srbina u grupi. Eto, zbunila me Makedonska zastava. Nema veze. Cini sa da na Apolytonu ima vise Hrvata nego Srba, zar ne?

"A premade map would be ok if we can find a good one."

My world map is always available. Its the best around for gameplay, accuracy, and all 'round fun. Specially designed for HOTW2, and the best world map ever made.

I always like real world maps for diplogames, that allows the players to assume real nationalities and its easier for us folks following along at home. Better to see the Germans march their legions into the mideast than to see the Egyptians drive their chariots from one side of the stringy clump of land to the other side of the stringy clump of land. Just really helps with the role playing, helps give people roles.

[VetLegion]

atawa, since you are the one who started the thread you are the organizer of this, right?

So if it is not too much trouble, can you tell us the up to date information on:

- What is the list of participants?
- What are the rules for the game?
- Which map will be used?
- How long are the playing sessions going to be?

And ofcourse, when is the definitive date and time of start.

Kao sto kazem, salim se malo, nije zato
Ima post od nekoliko dana prije gdje kazem da sam uvijek htio igrat diplogame. Eto do sad nisam znao hocu li imat vremena, ali sad se cini da hocu.

Eto, zbunila me Makedonska zastava. Nema veze. Cini sa da na Apolytonu ima vise Hrvata nego Srba, zar ne?

Ja sam vidio postove od nekoliko Hrvata, nekoliko Srba, po jednog Makedonca i Slovenca, a kladim se da ima i ostalih, ipak je ovo velik forum. Nisam radio tocan skor. A u zastave se ne mozes pouzdat

Makeo is going walkabout and deity cant play tuesdays

Proposed rules:

* no formal alliences
* no citybribe
* the usual tricks that are considdered cheats by rah rules.
* 2-3 woners each max?

Map:

I would like map of (part of) the world for reasons Ozzykp stated.

Time:
Tuesdays from 7-8 GMT+1 to about midnight.

I'll also put this in post one of this thread.

[Ljube]

Is there any particular reason why we wouldn't play city bribe?

What is going to be the map size, and more importantly, before anything else, is it going to be deity 1x1x or king 2x2x? Or something in between?

It would be nice to have at least one player more, though.

You guys surely have more experience, but what is the point of having only 3 wonders per player. To check the frontrunner? I don't think so, for the frontrunner will most likely build the Hanging Gardens, Mick and a third wonder of his choice and be largely unstoppable if left to expand.

[VetLegion]

I agree about the world map. Also, the rules seem ok but shouldn't there be more of them? I was pretty sure there were quite a few established rules for diplogames, but I might be wrong. I didn't visit this forum for ages.

I would go for deity 1x1x, double movement would distort the game. I am not sure about production. Input from expirienced diplogamers appreciated.

[VetLegion]

Hmm, about city bribes, I am not sure about the origin of that rule. Cities are too cheap?

[Ljube]

Yes, they are. But then, have more money in your treasury.

[VetLegion]

I think that on a map this big, cities would be terribly cheap. If you go on an invasion the defender can construct a diplo defense far too easily, since cities that were formerly his are even cheaper to buy back.

[Ljube]

If there's no city bribe, Great Wall is becoming extremely important, don't you think?

At any rate, if the majority is against the city bribe, so be it. It certainly seems like it from my point of view.
