PTWDGII: Number of Teams?

[Jon Shafer]

The issue comes down to how many we can handle and how many active teams we can get going. This will just be an unofficial poll, since the beginning of the PTW DG was somewhat chaotic with Vox coming in late, having to change the results of the poll, etc.

A lot will depend on how many active teams are able to form. This is just to see what people would want ideally.

5 or 6.

This game's gonna be a MESS, so somewhere in the middle.

Like Eddie.

A bit early for this maybe. I thought the minimum 5 members before was too low. More interest needs to be drummed up.

Like I said, just an opinion poll.

This will just show what people want so we can get an idea of what we need. Some people expressed interest in a "smaller" game this time around, so this is their opportunity to say so.

Not the full 8, definetly. It would be fun just to have a chance to beat down on the AI...

That's what the city-states game is for.

No opinion on how many teams, though it's gonna be hard to cramp 8 civs on a small (fast) map.

6 teams and no AI. We could have more teams if there's a huge surge in interest in the game. I'd like to see no more that 10 people on a team.

[FrustratedPoet]

5 teams and no AI.

Of course, that depends on how many teams can find enough members.

[Thrumble]

The whole 8 in human teams. The game is more fun with more teams to interact with.

Well, I don't have a voice in this club since I'm not going to participate, but I feel the urge to chime my opinion in anyway. The AI is a huge fun killer in multiplayer games. They whore around techs and maps, while own research and exploration are two very important fields of competition in human vs human playing. This is negative and basically eliminates a big part of the fun. Additionally, the weakness of the AI makes it easy for their human neighbors to grow on its expense and those humans, who don't have AIs as neighbors will have a big disadvantage.

Don't even think about including AIs in this game.

[Jon Shafer]

A good subject brought up here.

New thread opened........................ NOW!

[Thirgaral]

[Alex]

As FP said, 5 and no AI.

8 and randomly assign players evenly to the teams.
