Anyone up for a "Pluel"?

[drake]

I was in for game #1, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on here, specially this week. So, I'm joining Capo's Diplogame. Sorry yall, I'm not very patient

hutts can be removed although I like to play with the hutts.
I agree that evreybody should have a look at the premade map so that the creator does not have an advantage. Also the creator should be the last to pick his civ.
If you see me online I can icq the maps.

[brocher]

I would like to play in the 1st game if there are openings . i vote for king if no wonders allowed

[Crustacian]

we might yet have 2 games going.
there are some who want huts, and some who don't.
some who want deity and some who don't.

I would like to try a no huts game whatever level king to deity. anyone else who wants a copy of the game just let me or drake know. Drake came up with a great map to try.

It is nov 1st, all those who want to be there post so we can get on ICQ lists ahead of time.

there are confirmed so far...
Deity

Crustacian

**Arii, would you remind me how to illiminate huts from the game? I would just like to try one without huts for once unless everyone hates the idea.

[Crustacian]

Spider,
I wouldn't mind the map being revealed, or at least reviewed by the players ahead of time, but only if it is the map that is revealed. Seems like Carnide tried this but ran into problems with opponants not only seeing your units, but also being able to change city orders in the other Civs.
Drake made a map and I can send it to you to check out if you like.

Hey, guys,


I played on one of Cavebear's maps one time where the whole map was revealed from the start. That might be something to consider as well.

It is in the cheat menu under senario parameters. You can remove the hutts and then save as scenario.

[Spider]

If you guys have enough to start a second one of these on Tuesday nights, I'm in. I've enough Wednesday evening matches in progress; don't want to cause unnecessary conflicts.

I'd prefer deity level on Tuesday nights, if a Tuesday night game is doable.

[Nap Bonaparte]

Just got back in town. Brocher/Frankdogg/Arii....would love to have you guys participate in this game. Just post again in this thread to confirm your status.

[brocher]

ok 'i'll be there at 6 pm pst . hope we can finnaly play

[KenThur]

I am so thoroughly disgusted with myself!!
I've beaten alot of bad habits in my many moons on this planet. But I cannot seem to beat this addiction!?

Actually i'm OK... it's that damn "Milo Mindbender" that pulled the "Civ II MP Gold" box out of all the other games & software as KenThur was donating it all to the Boys Home!
-------------------------------------------
This is too good to pass up... the concept & the contestants! The timing = most excellent now that i'm on my own on the other side of the continent(!).

Count me in if...
The map is NOT known to anyone in a particular game. Half the fun & intrigue of the game is the discovery. I'm not real big on everyone being so "equal"... different terrains = different +'s & -'s = part of the challenge & fun. FIRM from here.

Other prefer's if it matters...

At least villages for barb's.

Is there some reason we shouldn't just strike a balance between Diety & King = Emperor? I understand & agree with both sets of considerations of this point.

Not so sure i understand or agree with all the diplo restrictions/changes. More on that?
==========================================
PS: ridded my computers of ICQ & all of U months ago. Where's the best place to go get the latest & greatest verision?

I'm BACK, i'm BIG, & i'm BAD. ):

[markusf]

So we starting on wednesday crusty, I guess your due for another lesson

mdl?

[KenThur]

Hello' gentle(?)men(?).
Is this thing going to come off or it is another good idea that doesn't bear fruit?

I'm ready, willing, & semi-able to start & FINISH.
It's been so long since i'v played, i bearly care if i get my civ kicked.

Got ICQ re-installed & think may even have my old # back... 70838652.

I'm plugged in via a DSL now from my new office in Santa Rosa & anxious to see how it works. 1 Q for experienced DSL'ers... they've installed a "firewall" to prevent the bad guys from coming in here. Will that prevent or otherwise screw up MP?

Milo, maybe you could get a second game going with some of the other interested players that can not make it tomorro. Arii, Deity, Spider, Drake, and a couple others want to play, but will not be able to til later. That way you might be able to adapt the settings a bit more the way you like. I hope there will be more games like this played too, and hope to enjoy another one with you someday.

Here ye here ye:

Nov 1st at 6pm pacific time

Brocher
Crustacian
Markusf
Nappy
will lock horns in strategic compitition.

Settings:

King

1x1

A premade map with fairly equal starting locations was made by Drake. I made it into a scenario. Thanks to all who chipped in maps. Each of us have looked it over, but I hope none of us will use it as a referance during the game.

No Ai's

Manhattans & Apollo wonders only.

No huts, villages only barbs.

Diplomats and spys can only make embassies, gather visual intelligence, sabotage units, not city improvements. No stealing, no bribing.

No trading stuff between players please. Trade routes and techs from capturing cities should be enough... this is an every person for themself game.

Any objections to these settings just post.

I can host but would rather pass the responsibility to someone else

Let the Pluel begin!

Just out of curiosity, could you send me the scenario you set up Crusty? I'll be on ICQ tonight, so if you have time (if you don't some other time) could you zip it up and send it to me then? Thanks.

[Crustacian]

There is a 4 player confirmed game to start tonight.
I hope to be here at 5:30 pacific time so we can chat a bit. Sent you 4 player version of scenario based on Drakes map and can make a few last minute changes if necissary if you see a problem.


To Milo, Spider, Potsy, Arii, Iadkins, or anyone else who wants to start one on your own for your schedual, just let me know and i can send you what I have for a 4 or a 5 player version, and of course you can doctor it up or use any parameters any ol way you want.

***** Please can I flag the "no tech on conquering city" flag in scenario editor??
