Everything OK!

Lets rock and roll

If I may ... I recommend that if you have not played on a large map - you may want to reconsider. The separation of the civs makes for a dreary early game, and given the speed of pbem's, who wants a dreary early game.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Have a good one!

With luck, the patch will be corrected on the meanwhile, so the game could start with a "good" version. When is He back?

**Paddy** · April 5, 2004, 04:17

yes with luck the patch will be fixed soon

we are not sure of his timetable

Beta has a point. Standard size would make for a more interesting start. Also, the game settings (corruption/waste) render most of the cities you can build on the extra space useless.

Nevertheless it sounds like a fun game, and even though games with more than 5 participants tend to slow severely down, I don't think this is a threat for you, bunch of enthusiasts that you are.

Have a nice game.

Some day, when I can bear this game again, I'd like to play a game with modified rules. Every player starts with ~10 settlers, no more settlers can be built (but workers can). No settling on tundra, desert, mountains (duh!), jungle and forest. Cutting down jungle and forest impossible. Mountains are impassable (mountain resources moved to hills). World age 3 billion years (makes for awesome big mountain ranges). Large, hand crafted map with made up passes through the mountains, later resources (other than iron and horses) moved far out of the settleable areas. Raging barbarians, which will come in masses out of the dark, if you're not monitoring it. Merciless fights for the resources. May be a nice backstory. Guess that might be fun, too.

cool, thank you Sir Ralph, and Beta for your wonderful input.

yes, you are both welcome to comment, but the game has been built and all that...

ahh it is all good

**McMeadows** · April 5, 2004, 05:43

Good luck to everyone
(and a little bit more to the other random players)
