Are There ever gonna be tribes again ?

[Red Guys]

Hey Chris,leave me and my gleam out of this

[Alexander's Horse]

Slowwhand alerted me to this thread. I'm happy for you to use the PROT site - I can set up forums. My site has no popups or anything so it should be okay for you.

What needs to be done?

[Chris 62]

Sounds good Horsie.

A dedicated forum for it, annocements of how to join, what tribes is and means, things like that I would think.

[SlowwHand]

Hurrah for AH !

[Alexander's Horse]

Okay, I added a forum for you - go and make of it what you will.

Let me know what you need.

The obvious answer would be PLAYERS.

You'd be surprised at the quantity of players, if there was a place to participate.

3, well that's almost a tribe.


Seriously, it's too bad that I don't like team play anymore. When MP first came out, that's all we did. Using the old arena games rules. They turned into racing through the tech path, caravan delivery games. And the turns would take forever as teams would trade techs/cities/wonders/units and prep cities for caravan deliveries every turn.
Kinda burned out on it and have played no-alliance games every since. Tribes would have been fun back then. Even though it would be fun to have War4 as a partner in a game. Maybe if the rules were tweaked to eliminate all the things that I didn't like about it, I'd be interested. But I doubt that will happen.

Good luck.

We fairly much tweak them.
Now, strat and his Tribe took forever, but maybe they could get past that.
I mean, it can get to the point, and did, that it's not fun.
No offense intended, strat. Just speaking the truth.

Care to start a game? Any timer will do

I made a challenge a couple of months ago witch Boann accepted.

If you are so keen on starting tribes up again, lets play

[SlowwHand]

Saturday night is my best shot, but the other Tuatha members can sure fire at will.

[Alexander's Horse]

Once you get started, you might want to advertise it a bit - I put it in my sig (for a while at least). Maybe let the zoners and civfanatics know.

I'm happy to put up forums for particular tribes - if the traffic warrants it, leagues, ladders, whatever.

If it doesn't work I'll just take the forums down (by agreement with you all). No harm, no foul.

I'm not into tribes myself but if eventually a few hang out on the other forums too I'd be getting something out of it. So potentially its a good fit.

Team game turns take longer, but we play no city/unit swapping within reason (citys can be swapped for trade purposes, etc) and no caravan prepping, just set up a super trade city. Do most tech swapping outside your turns, etc. Turns don't take that much longer than any other four-way.

The tech race thing can be fixed by playing 2x moves

[SlowwHand]

The swapping bit can get sticky.
Like, swapping cities for trade purposes.
I suppose it's fine if all are doing it, but it seems one of those "not in the spirit as intended" type things.
When I said flexible, I mostly meant settings; the other can be discussed I guess.
