Why not

**ChrisiusMaximus** · January 24, 2005, 14:38

I would be interested, thanks for the email.

Reserve a team slot for me and probably Paddy too

**UnOrthOdOx** · January 24, 2005, 14:39

I will not be joining any team that intends to win in a demo game ever again.

HOWEVER...

If you wish to allow the creation of a MERCENARY or a PIRATE team, I am all for it, and could assist in the startup of said team.

Mercenary team remains strictly neutral to all teams. No alliances, no grudges, nothing.

Mercenary team will not declare war for own gain. Only to complete a contract. (ie, no self military expansion.) A PIRATE team, however, could attack for own gain as well.

Mercenary team will create a standard pricing format for all contracts to be taken against other nations. I have an example I could easily dig up.

All dealings are kept PUBLIC after contact with all civs unless PAID EXTRA to keep a team's identity secret. Every tech trade, every contract to kill x units or take y city.

Contracts will have clearly defined targets. No 'join us against Z team for the duration of war'. They will be take and hold A city, or raze B city, or something of that sort.

By informing all on creation of the game, it gives all parties a chance to know what's going on, and adds a dynamic to the game that there is a team that can and WILL be bought IN GAME.

Questions and concerns will be addressed when I get back to this thread.

lol UO ... I'm all for that, if others are interested, but only if pretty much everyone is ok with it.

**UnOrthOdOx** · January 24, 2005, 16:02

Yes, that's the thing. People need to be ok with the idea first.

I know there are a few who are adamantly opposed to the very thought of it.

Another idea is the Feudal team.

Essentially a small team who each control a group of cities, perhaps even down to a number of units within their civ. This could go very well with the Mercenary team, contracting with individuals and THEIR resources, not the team as a whole.

For those who remember, think the $minigame on steroids.

**McMeadows** · January 24, 2005, 18:05

I'd like to join. I'd like to see the accelerated production disabled. Eventhough it slows down the game. I'm much more in favour of extending the starting resources to get a quick start.

Blood Oath

**snoopy369** · January 24, 2005, 22:31

UO, i'm only interested in starting a simple DG based on the concepts in PTWDG1 and 2.

McM, I'd like to see AP on. For a DG, it means more units, more action, and a faster start... we just don't have the time for a full nonAP game - even with the quick start (i'd also like to see). More action means more involvement... you'd never have had the sort of action we had more than once it PTWDG1 without AP.

Of course if the consensus is no AP, then so be it, it's a DG after all

But I strongly suggest it.

**Paddy** · January 24, 2005, 22:43

Ap for a faster game indeed

**Addled Platypus** · January 25, 2005, 02:24

call me slow, I never heard of this - -

"but who can hit "spacebar" when needed)"

I say less than 24 people to make roll along fast like you want

count me in
Merc team if its a go,
if not unassigned

**snoopy369** · January 25, 2005, 02:29

24 people = 6 teams of 4

Unassigned just means we don't have any other organized teams yet ... Paddy and Chrisius i'm guessing will be the nucleus of Team Two, but who knows ...

**Paddy** · January 25, 2005, 03:15

indeed we will be

I believe that we will have our other two join us in the coming days

so please keep those spots clear at this time

we will be in touch

**McMeadows** · January 25, 2005, 08:55

I'll swallow the AC and am available to whichever team..

**ChrisiusMaximus** · January 25, 2005, 10:22

Im not sure I like the idea of a mercenary team, to me it seems pointless and wonder how it would work.

I cant speak for Paddy but I know I would see the mercenary teams existence as a threat and would endeavour to totally destroy it to be rid of that threat.

Why would I want to pay some one else to attack a team when its more fun to do my own dirty work ???

Just my opinion Im happy to follow the herds consensus.
