Eager to return

"BTW what was my / our great solution for the spaceship in HOTW3? I forgot. X_X"

In HOTW3 as planned we would have an alien invasion at some point in time towards the end of the game that would threaten humanity's existance on earth. We drafted Markus to be the alien horde when needed and gave them some supped up units.

To be strong enough to defeat the aliens, earth must either unite through cooperation or conquest. This gave a very unique ending in place of the traditional spaceship or world conquest ending. Tis a pity we never got that far.

[Frank Johnson]

Oh yeah. I remember I was stealing all sorts of stuff from the xcom scenario and my robotech scenario to make that ending. ^_^

Yeah that would have been a good one, but we really never worked out the exact size of the alien force, which would be important for determinning the winner if any of the game.

I can do ANY USA Weds, THurs, Fri or Sat night (NOT this Fri though).

USA mornings are not good.

ozzy, I'll have a think about my locale.

Who's hosting?

Hi Dang

[OzzyKP]

Ok, here is a list of everyone's availability so far. If anyone can add more times to this list (or players) it'd be excellent. All times USA Eastern.

Frank - Any weeknight except Thursday, and Sunday all day
Deity - Weds, Thurs, Fri or Sat night
Prom - Thurs night
Raz - Flexible
Ozzy - Any weeknight but after 9 on Friday, Sat night, not Sunday night.
Llejo - Weekends

I can host, but I'm on dial-up so I better not.

Not until we find more players and pick a deffinate time.

Deity, what civ do you want to be and what coordinates would you like to start?

Same question for Raz, Prom and Llejo.

Llejo said that Thursday nights won't work for him. What does everyone think about Saturday mornings? Like 9am-1pm Eastern?

So which map am I looking at to set the starting locale?

The HOTW2 one? Have we a new map yet for d/l?

[deity]

So, if we keep Australia and America clear the 7th civ should be in India I guess? And move Mongols further West?

I think spys should be REALLY expensive too = 400 shields. Stops cheap spy raiding and gives them real significance.

Add the Dreadnought with Refining too

[deity]

Suggest:

To lower importance of LH reduce tri mvt to 2 but make them unsinkable. Increase Caravel to 4. And increase all other sea movement by 1 or 2.

[deity]

But LH increases all sea movement by 1.

[Frank Johnson]

LOL.....

Should I dig up the old realism patch? Unfortuently I think it got fried long ago. Remember that one little bout we had with makeo and Hydey? When my capital got burned down on my mini-map but they gave up after you stole india and I countered with all my storm troopers? Those were the days.

I think I remember all those changes, dreadnoughts with refining 8/8/4 80 3/2 ? Infantry with machine tools, 6/5/1 50 +50% vs mounted, uh....Facism replaced fundy, and storm troopers were 7/5/1 50 no support facs only,

There were some other minor changes but....that was the jist of it.

[deity]

Yeah that sounds right!

I got that scn you did btw

Want it?

[deity]

So let's kich off this USA Sat night? Convince Prom and Empress that it's in their intersts, besides, it's my b'day And I'm p!ssed

[Frank Johnson]

Ah yeah....sure just for record keepings sake. I don't want to hijack the game, but I'd like to see the map too.

[deity]

Dang, that was a brilliant game with Frank/deity/Berz against Makeo/Hydey/Nappy. It was a small Earth map - worth considering for a diplo.

[deity]

smallEarthDip made by Dangime (Frank)

This is the latest one I think...

[Frank Johnson]

Thanks for the package Deity. I found an updated version of just the map on a CD I kept. I made a few changes after the fact to improve the playablity of the map.

Basicly I just cut off Spain from Africa so the African player doesn't get right in the face of a european player immediately. I also made the canal zones solid and unpassable unless a city is built there.

This is just one option we have. This map had 2 advantages. There was very little and to no lag, and turns were quite short right to up the climatic final battles. I also limited the size of cities in the mod, but we don't necessarily have to do all the same mods again. Hopefully this just will stir up some ideas amongst the players. This map would be good if we wanted to get into the action quickly.
