Tales from the European Front I Setup

[OzzyKP]

Good, i'm glad you can make it Capo, despite our arguements sometimes i like having you in dip games, you make some great maps, write some great posts and know how to handle the game.

As for the map, i think it is good, but don't go *****ing out people who had problems with it, that won't do any good besides flaring up resentment among people. I really hope this game goes well, it starts this sunday at 1pm est. Lets get a full roster.

Confirmed players for this sunday 1pm est:

Ozzy - Hungarians
Capo - Italians
Joe - French
Dimbleby - English


as of last time berzerker was the germans, and kent jo was the russians, i believe both of them are still interested. I'm not sure about nappy though, but he is spanish.

I will be German. But if it is ANY changes with the scn i want to be notified so i know.

I'm availeble from 09.00 - 23.00 GMT+1

[OzzyKP]

Well you can't really just switch civs like that. If Berzerker doesn't want to be the Germans then you two can switch, but until he says something we are assuming he is still playing the Germans. Though of course if he doesn't confirm it before game time then they are all yours.

Alright look, you guys can switch up, there were a few mistakes in the creation of the scn, actually only that there was a tech advantage/disadvantage, so I will fix that, if anyone wants to change civs, whether it be Turkey, Sweden, Netherlands, Israel, or freakin Malta, just tell me and I can change it VERY easily.

Alright a few pretty cool developments, one I have edited the SCN so everyone is on the same level, the next one is there has been a pretty interesting discovery as far as an eighth civ goes.

I didn't believe it until I saw this, pull up your cities.jpg file and check out the little flags at the bottom, do you notice the ninth brown flag? Yeah, that must mean that it is either possible to have eight civs, or they were considering putting in an eighth civ, either way you wouldn't have to change any grpahic files to accomodate an eighth civ except for possibly leader pictures, but in TOT when you play there are no leader pics for the Sci Fi and Fantasy games, so you may be able to play without leader pics, and even then, I am sure it won't be hard to muster three leader pics!

Anyway, I am ready to kick some ass on Sunday, I have tested and tested the scn and the great part is there rae no really crappy or really dominant civs each time I play, everyone is even so its probably gonna work out pretty good, and the Russians have a very big land advantage by the way.

ohh. i thought berzerker could'nt join this game, because he was on a mac.
so i still will be russia.

The Capo: Can you change back to my orginal starting location...

[OzzyKP]

On the subject of the 8th civ, there are enough colors to accomidate it, however my question is that the screen where you pick your civ only accomidates 7. Could you make it so you could pick from 8 civs? I noticed that in the scenario with 8 different civs only 7 could be picked and played by humans.

I suppose if we want to have an 8th player it could be a computer and always be so. But if you somehow figure out how to get a 8th human player we would all be indebted to you.

Ok, Kent has confirmed himself to be the russians. I talked to Berzerker and he confirmed himself to be the Germans, though he hasn't posted here yet, i'll try to get him to.

[OzzyKP]

Well Capo and i looked into the possibility of having 8 civs, but with no success yet. So this will be a standard 7 player game.

So far everyone is confirmed to start on Sunday 1pm EST. The players are as follows:

Ozzy - Hungarians
Berzerker - Germans
Mr. Dimbleby - English
Kent-Jo - Russians
JDI_Falcon - French
The Capo - Italians
Easthaven - Spanish

Easthaven is a new addition, he is playing in diplo V and should be good in our game. Nappy said he would be interested in subbing in the future, but doesn't want to play permanently.

I look forward to playing and getting off to a smooth start.

Pardon me, Mr Wizard, but it would be "stupid" to suggest these civilizations all started where their modern day capitols are located. I made a simple suggestion to even out the start, EXCUSE MEEEEeeeee!


Berzerker is confirmed as Germany...

[OzzyKP]

Save it for the game, folks.

Lets not get too personally involved or we will be split apart like Diplo V.

Tommarrow: Game Day. I'm skipping class to make it, it had better be good.

The Magyar people will populate the continent and lead the world with their enlightened civilization.
