Tarzan PBEM

[Gamecube64]

If it bogs down science too much could you make it so every tile produces one extra gold so it be like it would only apply to specialists.

Heh, I guess you're not big on alexman's idea that I design the map. That's fine with me: less work is always better than more.

[Harovan]

If you'd agree to design the map, even better. I just didn't know it and didn't want to be impudent.

Hey, I noticed Alexman mentioned i'm in the mod group. Is that accurate, or am I in the stock group?? I'm cool either way, but wanted to make sure I know.

If i'm in the mod group (well, either way), I generally play in the post-0:00 GMT (post-1800 Central US time), up till maybe 2300 Central US time (0500 GMT), give or take. I often but not always play a turn in the early AM central US time (1200 GMT or so) as well if it's available.

Oh, and those changes sound good (to the extent that I don't have a lot of experience with AU mod). I'd say only that I'd not object to strat resources staying as they are, or PTW levels either way; and the tech rate sounds like it might be too slow when you factor in the citizen maintenance, as you mentioned. But, at the same time, that's part of the *point* of this game, no, that citizens are expensive and thus shouldn't be made helter skelter?

[alexman]

Sorry, it was a typo, I meant Gamecube64, not snoopy369. You both have numbers in your names so I got confused.

It would be kinda neat if both groups could play with the same map, though of course that won't be possible if Dom designs one of them.

[Dominae]

I'm pretty excited about playing a random map, actually (pre-checked for not-fun stuff, of course).

That other thread is up now: Jane PBEM

[snoopy369]

no prob alexman, just making sure i understood where i was at

Tho i'm very happy to replace anyone who needs a temp or perm fill in later on in the wacky game, god forbid it come to that.

This Tarzan game is for girlie men. The real men are playing in the Jane PBEM.

After experimenting a bit with the biq file above, I think the tech rate is OK (Small-map OCN and tech rate, huge-map distance corruption, large-map dimensions).

However, there might be just too much land for 6 players, although I leave that judgement completely up to Sir Ralph, who has much more experience with these settings.

Did I forget anything?

Why the second turn for restarts? Wouldn't this be a bonus to expansionist tribes? Under the circumstances, I don't think they need it.

Would all the other rules be enforced by the mod? IE will we have to remember to not do anything that the game engine will actually allow? I thought there was mention earlier of prohibiting terraforming or roading or something outside of cultural borders. I could imagine this slipping some people's minds a few months down the road...

Here's the whole discussion on Elimination Mode.

My availability is one or two rounds around 15:00-18:00 and usually a bunch of time from 3:00-8:00 GMT.
