Saturday Night (USA) Diplo Game

[Frank Johnson]

I'm going to try and post the mod pack I've been workng on for this game, and also list the changes made. All the mods were made with decreasing lag in mind. Also the game will be played on a special medium sized world map (not the included one it sucks), so things don't get out of hand as far as 100s of units.

Tech costs 1.5 times more.
Aquaducts are needed at 4, Sewers at 8.

There are no wonders.

Dreanoughts, a battleship type unit, are available with Refining.
As a result, cruisers are now battle cruisers, and are available with automobile.

Jet aviation is added, requires rocketry and gives jet fighters and bombers, the values for these fall in between normal and stealth units.

Modern Infantry is added, available with Plastics, and gets +50% defense against howiters, but only moves at 1 otherwise its the same as mech inf.

Frigates are Man-O-Wars and are the same except have 3 defense instead of 2.

Once again fascism replaces fundamentalism, it only takes 20% of your science, but only supports 5 units. The improved fanatic is the storm trooper at 7/5/1 2/1 50.

Infantry is available with machine tools and is 6/5/1 2/1 50

There are no Apline troops.


I think I covered everything major, I think everything else are just graphics mods.

Starting locations...........
I suggest this.....
China
India
Europe
Africa ( Middle )
North America
South America
Australia

Of course we can work this out fairly, take a look at the map and we will discuss starting locations. Once that is done, and players are set I will make this into a scenario back, and include the sounds needed for a few units.

Sounds good...

Thanks Dangime. Looks promising and very interesting rules indeed!

This is the game that Hydey, Commando Andy, Makeo, Raz, Sanskrit Boy and a few others showed interest in so I hope they are still around!

I think Capo is setting up the other diplo on USA Thurs night? The old HOTW2 slot. I'm interested in both games but will drop back as a sub on one of them if interest is high.

I don't want time limits but will be happy with a cap of 3 cities conquered per turn or something like this to avoid idiots from take 13 cities in one go... but surprise attacks should be OK.

I don't think capo's setting up anything anymore...atleast thats the impression he gave me. If this game could be a thursday night affair, I'd probably play, but I certainly can't do saturdays.

What kind of idiot would do that exactly????

[Hydey]

Hydey can play

I can play in this one , its on our Sundays
I am happy just to play and will go along with any rules you all agree on.
I am also happy to play any civ .
I hope this does not make things too difficult.

[CANNON FODDER]

FRANK....THE RULE CHANGES AND UNIT MODS SOUND GREAT. iF THERE IS ROOM I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR DIPLOGAME. I WILL COMMIT TO EVERY SAT. AND AND AM OPEN ON CHOICE OF CIV.

[Makeo]

On a Saturday night i can commit to 5-8.30 mountain time.

[Rasputin]

ok some details on time of game would be handy ... but i should be able to play most sundays.

[Frank Johnson]

Hm 5 Mnt time is 4 Central where I live..........

What's that for you aussies? More of a saturday evening that night........heh.....

But really on a saturday I have no constraints, but a start time between 4-6 central is needed, and a block of at least 3 hours minimum needs to be allowed for each session. We all know how these things go......hopefully.

[Frank Johnson]

Well guys if we get

Raz
Makeo
Cannonfodder
Hydey
Deity
And myself are 6 players.

Deity, do you have some more people you said were interested? The time draws near if we are to play this saturday!

[deity]

Australia

OK, to get the ball rolling I'll go for Australia again.
We got Berzerker too, so this should be a good game...
Everyone should line up a regular sub. The game will go at least 6 months I think!

[Berzerker]

Ok, I'm in, time agreed upon yet?

[Frank Johnson]

If we settle on Makeo's 6pm CST start time, (thats 7 EST, and 5 MNT) That seems ok with me.........

How about all the australian guys?

Starting location update...............

Deity has chosen a nice home in Southern Australia.
Berz resides in an amazon jungle hideway on Souther America's northern coast.
I myself have chosen warm Hong Kong as my starting location.

I NEED ALL YOUR STARTING LOCATIONS TO MAKE THE SCENARIO. INCLUDE ANY SPECIAL CIV MODS YOU WANT MADE! Places left : North America, Europe, India/Siberia, Afirca.

If nothing else is said assume a 6pm CST, 7 EST, 5 MNT starting time. I hope everyone is here, the first session is the most important! Get subs lined up too if you can.

[Frank Johnson]

Hm, after seeing the horrible effects of a riot factor of 7, Im returning it to 14 for the final version, just FYI.

[Hydey]

I'll take Europe

Thats if its ok with everyone else, I'm sure Frank will make it as even for everyone as he can.

[Frank Johnson]

Ok lets see its down to Makeo and Raz to choose their starting locations........North America and India / Siberia

I put down Hydey around ukraine......

and cannonfodder is in on lake victoria.

Right now everyone at least has a river start and 1 special.

A few people have more specials, but their river square starts jungle covered......so I guess that balances things out a bit.
