I am willing to join the game, but I recently updated my PTW to 1.21 f and it couldn't recognise the CD anymore. I don't know what causes this problem, but one thing is clear: I can't play any game above version 1.01 f.
The patch I installed was the American patch I downloaded from www.civ3.com.

Nuclear Winter,

Make sure there are enough resources so that we needn't to kill a few players before the middle ages and we can trade a lot.

Another thing is that I would like to play it in DyP, but that depends on what the others want.

I sent Nuc a map of Spain that I made. I think it might be fun to expand that map to include land outside of Spain for us to conquer, but the goal would be to "unite" all of the Spainish factions into one nation and be the King of Spain.

Start the game off in the middle ages and use a Mod like DyP to have an extended game in the middle ages.

The question becomes ... what would the factions be? Perhaps it depends on how many people are interested in playing the game

Yes Indeed, I need a list of people.
Also, I will need to draw the territory of each dukedom so that the owner can choose to replace the city in the begining (but inside the perimiter of the Dukedom!!!). I will mod the map acordingly and I am considering doing some extra modifications for the factions, as well as unit changings... and, of course, I´d need speacial rules for diplomacy and Trade. This means any idea is highly required.

I think the map should be enlarged and some small towns should be added so the duchies have more than one city.

**Hot Mustard** · May 18, 2003, 08:50

This sounds like fun.

Include a Dejon family warmongering clan please.

**Nuclear Winter** · May 18, 2003, 11:38

Positive!

In fact each Duke will have a province (if it goes like I mean it to, that is).
I will try to develop a questionary for all to answer regarding the Provinces , soa s to decide some special factors, UU and such...
Have a nice day, and keep showing interest (or else the project may come to an abrupt end ...

**ruby_maser** · May 18, 2003, 14:16

I would be interested in this type of game. Of course, I would hope that the start positions could be fairly balanced.

Señor NW, how do you envision the start to go? Would it be where the players start with nothing but the knowledge that would be required to play at the Middle Ages level? Or would cities already be layed out? Or would the player begin with several settlers to speed up REX? Just curious...

OK , so far so good, ideas are poping around like goodiehuts! Keep ´em coming!

I have liked the idea of Aidun to create 2 new city improvements: Citadel and Castle. Citadel Is already placed, it increases city defense by 50 % and bombardment defense by 4 and appearsafter researching construction. Castle is not in already, because I was thinking of making it a smal wonder as, feudal properties had only one huge castle in the Duke´s property, and lesser defenses on smaller ones (like walls and the like). If done like this, the castle would give something like a 75% bonus to defence (Small wonder or not it is planned to appear at engeneering) and a bombardment defense of 2 ( I have tought also of making it require some resource, like stone or the likes of it, to show the enormous amounts of stone required, and also to incentivate cooperation between the lords, at least to some extent). Though many are thinking ´´what the hell is this maniac doing? Does he wants cities that are impossible to invade?´´I want to say that the objective is a more medieval war, were you are obliged to bombard the enemy like a madman before attacking (read my words: long sieges) so I am thinking on improving catapults and instaling trebuches... also I am considering some extra thousand of medieval units... I will put extra resources so that trade can be intense and so that we are not stuck with low production... also plenty of heathens to conquer

and If I manage to suceed , we will have new types of specialists for certain clans , more sea units... and whatever our coletive minds create!
Have a nice day,
Nuclear Winter
BTW, I am accepting sugestions for wonders... yes we will have customized wonders

**History Guy** · May 18, 2003, 23:37

Nuc, it doesn't appear that I can participate until Summer, perhaps. My PC needs to go into the shop in the next two weeks for repairs...

But, you can have control of the Calamarquists if you want. Our special unit? The Kraken...the master of the seas...

**BigFree** · May 18, 2003, 23:55

Count me in!

**Aidun** · May 19, 2003, 09:06

I was already in, but now I like it iven more so again: count me in

Nuc, perhaps you should raise the amount of food people eat so that the additional cities that are founded keep being small villages. The main city can than reallt funcion like a capital. Eventually you can give the castle a food bonus.
I like the introduction of stone in the game. What about these additional recourses?
Oranges as luxury , Spain is the country of the oranges.
Wood as strategic recource, not all wood is suitable for building and the making of weaponry.
Leather as strategic recource.
Cotton and wool as luxuries.

**Nuclear Winter** · May 19, 2003, 17:22

Well then,
A breakthrough ahs been achieved! I figured out how to make mostly everything be team exclusive.... here goes the Squid Merchants, who are (at least in this test) exclusive of the Calamari Clan,appearing with a tech that has no age at all (thus being invisible

) and having this tech being ceeded to the team at the beggining...
[edit]Nevermind the screenshot, it showed something that took me lots of work to do but that ain´t that important.[edit]

I need feedback people! For Holy God´s mercy!
Ideas!!!!!!
There are some balance questions that I would like to talk to you people about, so If possible, please hang around in the Undernet room channel #civ3rp Migros ... I shall eventually appear...
Have a nice day.
Ah, before you leave,
this is the edited list of barbarian names, those are very few, (the list requires 76 different names....)so basically for now the others are copyed and pasted... I´d like idea for naems of other barbarian bands (I am probably renaming ´´tribes´´ for ´´bands´´ in the game so that it sounds better[you see, Bandits do not form tribes...])
The List:
Saracen
Pagan
Viking
Norman
Nomad
Mongol
Magyar
Bulgar
Rebel
Bandit
Thiefling
Herectic
Heathen
Landless Knights
Abucacan

Until later,
Nuclear Winter

**Togas** · May 19, 2003, 17:47

I'm not sure what the screenshot is, though. Can you please explain what it's showing us?

I think you first need to develop the FACTIONS, perhaps have each of the players name their factions, and name their traits. However, it might be easier for us to simply pick current civs and rename them than to try to make up new techs and UUs for every faction.

--Togas

**Nuclear Winter** · May 20, 2003, 13:15

Well Togas, I am also working in that direction, but I have to start doing something, and as almost no one gave ideas on what they want I am delaying that part a little, working with those who gave me ideas for their fiefs .
As for teh factions, I am going to make them dukedoms or fiefs, as the objective of this is to simulate medieval strugles who happened in the inside of kingdoms. I will add one or two extra techs to certain factions who will have weaker UU´s and mostly get units (both for UU´s and for extra ones)from existing mods.

Anyway keep sending ideas,
Nuc
