Civ Choice

[Randolph]

We should give everyone at least a week... things do come up. A little reminder might be a good idea.

Regardless I move to finalize the Iroquois as our team (of course it can change), so we can begin to narrow down our learning process.

I'm here guys, as i said, i'm abit busy with RL issues, but by the end of next week i hope to show up more around here and post some more.
About the civs- Military trait pretty much suck IMO, so the gallic sword and Rel. are the celts real traits, but i think that in this case we better off with a civ that has 3 good traits. That would count for Iroqouis and Persia. I don't have a decisive view of this- but i never played with Expansionist civs, so i'm biased- but still, i'd rather have Persia well timed Immortal- fiersome offensive unit that also allows us have a well timed GA (even into the earl-middle medieval period), and also Scientific- a trait i really love, and as said- Science is more precious than in SP. And industrious- which is good, although Scientific and Religious/commercial is better (i would have picked Greece if it wasn't for the unexpected GA).

I don't think Vel will be around much, since he's very VERY busy with many other things, but I'm sure he'll help us whenever he can.

Conquerer and Nuclear Master have showed up and posted, but I haven't seen chamoniz at all since he said he wanted to join.

I know of at least one more candle'breer, I would be very happy to have on the team

Me too.

He was telling me the other day that he was planning on getting PTW when it came out in Europe. We're gonna play some MP Duels together in a few weeks.

He'd do a great job for us (anything to build up post-count ). Someone PM him if you think we need another member, maybe he'll join.

by the way, we're talking about DeepO.

Oh, to get back on-topic:

I favour the Iro's too, for all the reasons outlined above. I'd place Persia as my second choice and Egypt as my third, but it looks like we're going Iro anyway.

A lot depends on a bit of luck, if we start on a 8 tile tundra island we'll be screwed no matter what Civ we pick.

The hardships of the barren tundra will only make us tougher-
Long live the Raging Storm!!!

Well, majority here says let's be the Iroquois so lets set this in stone! I will thus begin a new SP game as the Iroqouis to get their abilities stuck in my head.

On the subject of other players, we all know that there are at least 6-8 on this team that post every day or every other day, and the remainder haven't been heard from.

I say we allow them to continue on the team, post them all a note in the PTW thread to let them know where they can find our private threads, but also begin new recruitment. I'd hope that to be a member of this team we'd have to have regular posters who have the time....if they don't then it won't help us to have a lot of members who don't always have the time. That makes for real fluctuating activity and workloads...

Ok enough ranting for now.

I agree Meshelic, we should expand the membership roles a tad bit.

Say 4 more, and then see where we are then?

[Meshelic]

We should make sure to keep our team an odd number of players if at all possible. That ensures that there are no ties during a poll.

Is that what our new name is ???

just kidding.....we're gonna have to Gather the Storm and then Rage it later.

[notyoueither]

Once gathered, we can do anything.

I have contacted DeepO btw, but have not recieved an answer yet.

Any feelings on Arrian or Thesus? they have not been enlisted in any other team.

My feeling is though , there not that interested in MP, They both love to know the inner workings of civ, as does Alexman, bit I think they are "scared" about the unpredictability of the human opponent.

And maybe the're REP too j/k

Long live the Raging Storm!!!

For some reason that only the Banana knows i always though our name was "Raging Storm"...

I guess the fact that i entered this "Gathering Storm" forum for about 10 times in the last couple of days didn't have any real effect on me.

So, am i in the right team? [/jk]

[notyoueither]

DeepO would be a welcome addition form my POV. So too would be Theseus and Arrian. [and alexman too, missed his name there].

Perhaps the chance to be part of a team, and not have their own bollocks on the line might attract them.

[Harovan]

All of the mentioned players (DeepO, Theseus, Arrian, alexman) would be very welcome.

DeepO is probably available through the "FP" connection, which already brought us Vel, at least as moralic support. Arrian stated at some time, that he's not into DG's (I guess he just doesn't like all the spam and roleplay stuff, neither do I btw) and also not a big MP fan, so I doubt he will sign up. alexman as European probably doesn't have the game yet, we might ask him later. Theseus has IMHO some potential to join us, but I hesitate to invite him, because I already invited him once (to the PBEM #2), which never started.

Btw, what about Catt?

PS (EDIT): This discussion has what to do with the Civ choice?
