    Setting up UltraDip I.....

    Me and Dimbleby have been discussing creating a diplogame, and now that we are both out of EuroDip I, we have decided to make our own Diplogame on a gigamap. This diplogame is going to be longer than a normal game, so make sure you know that aspect. The tech tree will be added to, and more units will be created to make this long game fresher. We need to know your nation (You can be any country on the planet that you want, or in the history of the planet)

    There will only be two nations to a continent, already the Romans and Americans have been taken, so its pretty much up in the air, it doesn't matter if the color is taken becuase the Diplogame will be a scenario so I can make any country in this game.

    We plan on playing this wednesday (TWO DAYS) so please make your decisions quick!

      I'm up for Ultradip. Although I am by no means out of Eurodip.
      Thousands of monkeys are creating havoc in the corridors of power, barging into government offices, stealing food, threatening bureaucrats, and even ripping apart valuable documents.

      Hey! That dried vomit under the couch looks like a horny toad.

        I have never played a "diplo" game. Is the definition of a diplo game, a game in which there is no war? Or does it simply mean that the players must be diplomatic and honorable in the manner that they conduct themselves (much like they would have to in a "civilized" world)? If it is the latter, I'm interested....former, well I don't think a completely peaceful world is much fun. OR, is it neither? I really want to get a game started, so let me know. Your game would be started at EST times Capo? Will the remaining slots be filled by AI?

          I would like to be in on this. I'm available to start at 6pm wednesday. I would prefer to be green - Japanese, Zulu, or Babylonian.

            oops! I thought this was a continuation of the "weeknight warriors" thread. I've already committed to it - sorry!

              It is definantly the latter, no war would defeat the purpose of playing.

              As for the slots being filled by the AI, that is another thing Diplogames are known for: There are no AI! Everyone is human, and everyone must play with th eutmost respect for diplomatic relations, despite what the warhawks of Civ would have you think; Diplogames have little to know restrictions. Instead of outlawing things that are not desireable, we let the "international community" decide how to handle hte person in question, which either results in good diplomatic relations, or in whats going on in Israel right now.

              Either way its awesome.

                  So far its just me and Dimbleby, and maybe drake if he wants in, I would love to have him join BTW.

                  But that means we still need four more tribes to join up, I think Dimble is going to be the Americans, I am going to be the Romans, and I Dunno about Drake, with those exceptions its still up in the air.

                  I had planned on starting tonight at six, which is in ten minutes, but that is doubtful now. So maybe we should try for next week.

                      Alright, well so far then we have the Americans, Romans and Mongols. We need four more players still.

                      We are starting next Wednesday.

                            Alright, well if East gives the nod then we have four prospective players. Which is cool, and means we only need three, since the original idea for this game is a scenario, it doesn't matter what country you decide to pick. But, this also means that we are going to have to download the scenario file, so we all have it.

                            I NEED suggestions for this, I don't want all of the new changes to be purely "Capoesque" so any ideas are welcome ideas.

                              Alright, so far we have the following players:

                              Capo
                              Dimbleby
                              Drake
                              East (maybe)
                              JDI Falcon (Joe)

                              Which equals to five tribes, which means we only need TWO more to finish our game out. I am not adding much to this except for another warship, a couple new units and maybe a new tech or two.

                              To those four others who are in, choose your nation, keeping in mind that there are only two to a continent. My tribe will be the French. Also tell me your leader, and if it is a tribe that is not normally in the game (i.e. the Koreans) send me a city list.

                              The rules of the diplogame are very minor:

                              1) No war until 1000 bc, which probably won't happen anyway since the map is so big.

                              2) The tech paradigm will be at 1/3rd the normal rate, but I am going to add some units to make things more interesting.
