Big real world game using special 100x100 map
I've designed a map based on the idea of trying to create as real a world-like situation as possible. The final inspiration came from *he/she who has been banned* but I've been thinking about it for a while.
Basically we play by the rules in the manual!
Now there's a novel approach
This is an overview of the map. Rather than the snaky, puddle riddled mess that the auto maps create this is an attempt to emulate Earth-like climate patterns and cogniscent of continental drift.
I haven't done many maps but I really like this effort. However if CapTVK, ozzy, Cavebear or any other renowned map-makers wish to fine-tune it I'd be delighted! BUT I'm not trying to make it easy or even within the formulas of the game but REALISTIC.
I'm looking for 6 other players who would like to do this. It is NOT a diplo game but if you think about the size of the map and the 255 city limit will force a bit of reality into the situation so that planetary conquest is less likely, but possible.
So, we will treat it like a diplo game. I want players who LOVE large maps and who will let their imagination loose in this world. At least one solid paragraph MUST be written by each player for the game story thread.
I think the best time MIGHT be USA Saturday morning/Europe afternoon/Aussie late night... but let's see what happens with any interest shown.
I'll post some game graphics in a moment.
This is a fully-fledged modpak with custom map/terrain/units etc. Let me know if you want it sent. It MUST be put in a folder called - real (lower case) which MUST be in your Scenario folder in the Civ folder.
The rules are:
* AS per the manual (NOT diplo rules)
* Deity level
* Raging hordes
Possible scenario adjustments - feedback needed:
* Max cities per civ set at 36?
* Simul - except for war?
* Game ending year set much later to allow counter-strats time to end SS flights Say, 2200AD?
Standard 'features' that seem to be used by everyone such as incremental rush buying of units is OK, I reckon.
