I'd like to play along too. One question, why are the initial tiles first come first serve, instead of being bid on?

Spiffor suggested we not bid on the first tiles so it would be more fair.

Thanks for the link GF.

Did you get a database together for the MZO one? If you are planning on having this run on a database I can help out.

The map coords I can get from the mini-map when we start.

It never got off the ground.

And I have no php/apache programming skills to do it myself. If someone were to make a simple database where we could input the info it would eliminate a lot of the work to operate it.

How was the first SPDG $Minigame run, GF? That went for a fair while, from memory. Not sure myself as I never visited the thing.

I can do the PHP/MySQL if we have a place to host. If worst comes to worst there is a really crappy, free hosting site I used when I was first learning.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

The new host I am moving my website too offers PHP and MySQL. I also have and Apache server on my PC that runs in the background on which I could test stuff.

My new webhost has unmetered bandwidth and 2 gigs of hardspace.

[Aeson]

Ok. I'll put together a database and some admin pages that handle the basics you were talking about in that other thread. When it's ready you can transfer it over to your site.

Do you have phpinfo.php on your site?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I don't know. Here's the main page for my new host.

I got the Ultra plan. Not to be confused with Ultra Man.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Okay, so we have all we need to start playing except for electing a President and Vice President.

Use of Land and Tile Production
Would follow the $MiniGame rules. I would suggest we elect a Market Maker for each good who is responsible for tracking the market in each trading session and they either be given a salary or allowed to receive a $1 fee per unit sold in their market.

I could write a program to make it easier to track money and calculate income. But i don't understand exactly how the income system is supposed to work..

EDIT: Fixed gramatical errors.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Its not to complicated early on. After everyone gets a good understanding of how it works (its actually fairly simple) it would be cool to get some tracking software though.

[Ennet]

So how does it work? I've been a bit concered about balance issues. There must be some base tile income? And a bonus if it's being worked? This will make some peoples wealth to grow faster than others.. so there must be some balancing or suddenly a few lords would be the only one who could afford buying tiles. Like some tax/corruption the more tiles you got?

Also units, are they owned by the city or are each unit owned (not necessary controlled) by a feudal lord?
Improvements are built by the state, city or feudal lords? Do lords need to pay to make their tiles more attractive by improving them? If so, what happen when a lord don't want to buy improvements on a spot that is critical to the citys growth?

Will there be alternative ways of aquiering tiles? Like sending units into war for the sake of the country Or doing some importaint goverment work, etc.?
