A Classical Diplo?

[Zylka]

Alright, if we're playing this map and Makeo is Egypt - I'm Carths. Any other choice just screams "bend over"

[deity]

I picked Carts. Zylka or atawa should pick Turks, being stronger players.

[deity]

We should get a good locked off modpak for this scn. No changes mid-way.

* Let's agree or not on ozzy's starting tech idea (I vote in favour)
*Wonders? (I vote extended Oracle)
* Starting settlers/cities as 2? (I say 2)
* King/Emp or deity level (I vote deity or Emp)
* Extra techs and units? (HOTW additions are good)
* No huts is proposed
* Cities already established at historical starting locations in 4000BC (I agree)
* Tech Rate slowed as per HOTW4 (1/5x harder)
* Some limitation on tech trading? In HOTW4 techs spread so quickly as to nullify the slower tech rate and nullify the efforts of those civs concentrating on Super Science Rates etc
* We need to list out special diplo rules - highlighted from CapTVK's thread (Any variations to be spelt out, like it's compulsory to respond to Foreign Advisor etc etc)

[deity]

I can play a lot over the hols, actual times to be advised

USA dates I may play: 21, 22, 26, 27(or HOTW4), 28, 30, 31 Dec and most days for a week after that

We need spreadsheet freak to plot this out

[OzzyKP]

I thought Turks had good land. Or at least a good opportunity to get land.

[Zylka]

Let's see the latest map if any changes have been made, por favour

[OzzyKP]

Oh, and I strongly suggest we do something about caravans. Make them much more expensive. Like by 20 sheilds or so. They are becoming unbalancing i think.

[deity]

deity the great's .scn of ozzy's .mp

here 'tis..

saved as a scn...

* all civs have 60% starting science
* Carts are currently called Indians and Spanish are Persian (FIXED!)
* two settlers each at emp level
* no techs granted to any civ at this stage
* Southern Africa and Eastern Asia is desertified..

* just fixed the civ names...

* just fixed the scn parameters - 15 tech rate (slower); wiped goodie boxes...

* map updated with Spanish Cap at 31/31 and port for Babs...

* revised again... just keeping all the d/l the same file

[deity]

AS I understand it:

* Berz wants Babs
* deity will take Romans or Spanish (Zylka wanted Carts)
* Makeo has Egypt
* atawa the French
* ozzy the Greeks
* Zylka the Carts
* Spanish ?

[OzzyKP]

hmm, i could do saturday mornings. USA EST

[deity]

BTW, some players may drop once the schedule is agreed, so Ljube, Dang, Raz and others stay tuned!

[Berzerker]

Turks? I didn't see them on the map. If Deity and Zylka both want Carts, I can flip a coin for ya.

[Berzerker]

Oh, Friday/Saturday nights are out for me, at least until our other dip game is over

[Berzerker]

Ozzy, can you turn 134,60 into a sea square so the Babs can have a decent port city? We have little to be greatful for in this wasteland where desert meets swamps, certainly not the type of land befitting the birthplace of civilisation... We have no science specials!!!

[Zylka]

Alright. Nice to see drastic changes on the map made without consulting the majorly affected civ(s). Deity seems happy to take the Carths even with such changes made, so I'll budge. I'll take Spanish. If the map is changed again without some form of outside consultation, I'll have you collectively castrated
