New Diplo 7 players game on the EURO map - who's interested ?

[deity]

Emperor Level

Hmmm, Zylka has a few good points.

The best start is definitely France which also has a massive river matrix and Markus is I believe the best player. Bit silly really. Surely he wants more of a challenge! I think Capo should take France since Markus is whining about all those borders Mind you, for selfish reasons, I don't mind Markus there...
I still want the Brits but if you ranked the players and the starts maybe a better game balance could be achieved

LOL!

The Millenium map had virtually equal starts which is preferable, except Markus CONTSTANTLY WINED with CHEESE and CAVIAR about Turkey as his start

But I'm happy to play with what we got and my vote is for Empereor level. (deity level is fine too though)

Capo, the map really looks good and I love the names for the Wonders etc.

If any late changes are to be made I would definitely suggest more ship movement to precipitate quicker intercourse between the nations.

And raging hordes I like but not too appropriate in this game?

Deity, if this game gets going and it is played on our weekends I can sub for you if you ever require one.

Thanks Hydey, that would be great.

I'd like to keep the Brits under the rule of the Aussie contingent

I'll keep you posted if that's OK with Cybershy?

markusf,
I don't really understand if that means you can make it at the times I suggested or not, thus I concider you can make it (I'm sorry, but I keep on being frustrated with timezones)

CyberShy: Confirmed - Deity
SmartFart: Confirmed - Deity
markusf: Confirmed - deity
Zylka: Confirmed - Emperor
deity: Confirmed (?) - Emperor
The Capo: Confirmed - Emperor
ajbera: ? - ?

ajbera: I need a confirmation that you can play friday night
The Capo: can you put me on the map as Greece ?

ajbera, your vote decides if we play Emperor or Deity. (quiet a big load of pressure for a newbie )
If you won't reply before Friday 12:00 my time I'll invite Species8472 to play with us.

If there won't be more problems we'll start:
CET: Saturday 00:00
GMT: Friday 23:00
EST: Friday 18:00
CST: Friday 17:00
Mountain: Friday 16:00
Pacific: Friday 15:00

The Capo, do you want to host ? or shall I ?
I do have a ADSL connection, 1024 kb download 256 kb upload.

Some not so good news...

I can't play this weekend at all, I am at my grandparents' house and forgot to bring my MGE CD with me. Which means I can't play on Friday.

I'm not too sure if that is totally true though, I hear there are some files I can download that would make my regular Civ2 program (which was on this computer already) into an MP program, but there is the map issue, I think this map is technically a GIGAMAP, but I'm not too sure.

In any event I'll have the completed file with Greece in the game by the end of the night, sorry for the up to the last minute response to all this but I am really tied down right now.

Anyway we'll see if we can't circumvent this entire situation. But the mod will be completed and you guys will be rockin'...

Just without your "beloved" Capo.

And Markus, stop b*tching man... "I have too many borders, wha wha wha, boo hoo hoo." Why don't you slide your tampon out and join the rest of us men?

France has a kick ass start...

Peace.

[Robert]

The Capo,

I'm willing to put my CIV2 directory up for download.
I know a hack so you don't need a CD. Then you can play without a cd.

I think just the directory will just be fine. Pherhaps you need to add a few register values.

On the other hand I can of course put the entire civ3 cd for download. (without music files etc.)

email me if you want me to ( robert@plompweb.net )

ajbera paged me this:

For some reason, my account has been disables so I cannot post or reply to the forums. I don''t know why, and I have emailed Dan and Markos to see if they can help. In the meantime, I can''t post to the forums.

Ajbera, the rest of your message got lost (ICQ page has a limited number of characters)
Can you mail me the rest of your page ? ( robert@plompweb.net )

In fact I think we MUST start friday, otherwise the game will never happen. Delaying it another week won't do any good.

[ajbera]

I'm back!!

Dan Quick has graciously rectified my forum access problem, so you'll have to deal with me once again.

The missing portion of my message was: If you desperately wish to get started Friday, either choose another full-time player, or allow a sub to play for Spain. Unfortunately, I have work that I must do, so I am unable to devote the necessary time tomorrow.

If you choose to use a sub, I'll dive in next week. If you want another permanent player, I can wait 'til the next game. I've been patient this far.

Sorry for the inconvenience, folks, but from perusing the MP forums, this kind of thing happens a lot.

well they werent happening all that often , but with capo putting together some of the best mods i hav eseen , i think more will be palyed... i wihs my shift work would allow me to play more often , but my commitmtent to HOTW2 is my greatest, so til lthat is finished i will sub when i can in any game but cnat be a regular unfortunatly...

But i love playing SP on Capos mods too . well donre capo

[deity]

The map is great but this has better equal starts...

Just check this out....

www.ozemail.com.au/~iadkins/EUROPE.zip

It is also a good modpak with revamped units and Wonders BUT the starts are far more equal.

...france is pretty much screwed with 4 civs boardering it. (only civ to have that many boarders)

I disagree. As the map stands, France is undoubtedly in the best position, and you should be looking for more of a challenge as the best player. Since you think I'm the one with the unfair start, why don't we trade civs? You can be Germany and I'll take France. Is that fair enough for you?

Yeah for emperor! See you all tommorrow

[Rasputin]

wow you guys are just too damn clever with all this mod stuff... .. maybe you should do one for an aussiediplo game deity where we all start in a different state and the world consists of just australia and the south east asia area and NZ ... any ideas Deity

[SmartFart]

How about random unrevealed map?
-deity x1x1
-no wonders xcept Manhattan
-no city bribe

That way we have fun with exploring and noone can whine about bad start or missing Hanging Gardens which I never build anyway.

That could be a challenge.

Revealed map sucks.

P.S. Can I replace new units/terrain look with an old one so I can see original graphics?

[The Capo]

My baby...

You are not gonna use my mod?

Why?

[SmartFart]

I am kinda Civ purist

I do appreciate your work.

So far I'm just concerned if we will start this evening.

The Capo can't make it and ajbera can't make it.
Either we need 2 subs for them, otherwise we need
2 other players.

Let's first aim for subs.

Anyone interested ?

I suggest we have a ICQ chat before we start,
then we can figure out all the rules and things we do.
(ie. unrevealed map, playing level etc.)
