PBEM Mod: Suggestion Thread

[snoopy369]

Okay, this is where you make suggestions! Please state the problem you see, the reasons it's a problem, and the possible solutions you see. If you don't see any solutions as yet, that's fine - but no proposal can be made without a solution.

I think we should begin the suggestions here and only move to a seperate thread if the discussion here warrants it. That sounds like what you had in mind snoop, but this thread is empty and the mod threads are about to push themselves off the first page. The forum is starting to look like it did pre-split.

lol, ok I wanted to have certain threads out there, particularly certain issues that were very likely to come up, either from the earlier thread or otherwise ... but what you say makes sense. If it gets active enough I suppose MarkG will set up a forum for it (like AU has), but until that point we should ... consolidate ...

[Rommel2D]

How about a simple goal to start with: determine the best 7 (5?) changes by a set date (end of Jan?), and make version one of the mod with those?

[punkbass2000]

Sounds like a very good idea, and apprehends my fear that nothing useful will occur by this mod before Civ4 is released (at least partially, anyway).

[conmcb25]

Make it so names of Civ's can be changed in game.

[Rommel2D]

Was that request directed at the mod panel or at Santa Claus?

Re: PBEM Mod: Suggestion Thread

ahhh maybe either SnoopCat or Rommel could link all the various threads in one of the two opening posts

keep this as a control thread...

then Rommel, as the Moderator, you could also adjust the thread name to state that this is the control thread etc for these mod issues

then Rommel, as the Moderator, you could also top the thread

just a suggestion, incase it is not being done in another thread

ok, lets see if I have this right...

problem: too many threads
proposal: list of links to all the threads in opening posts, making this a control thread. And then having this thread topped
solution: we have a general thread, here, with links to all of the on topic issues etc, so we know where to go for the many more in depth discussions etc


ahh it is all good

Hello

is there anyone out there???

[Rommel2D]

Being in the alcohol business, I hope you can imagine this is a busy week for us.

Year-end quota-meeting sales will spill over for a few weeks yet, so I won't have much spare time until the end of January...

oh well said old chap

yes well said indeed

Here, have a beer.

woo hoo


/me seen heading for the cellars with a few beer jugs

[Rommel2D]

Actually, I'm already sampling that Black Label grape juice you've previously recommended...

[snoopy369]

lol you folk are funny

From the Small Wonders, Big Wonders thread, the suggestion was made that Scientific Great Leaders are the most imbalancing part of the Great Wonder situation. Since SGLs can be disabled from the start-up screen, there is no need to eliminate them with a mod.

However, simply eliminating SGLs takes away a perk from scientific tribes. If it were decided that the GW issue would be best solved by disabling SGLs, we might consider compensating the scientific trait somehow.

Alternatively, as was mentioned in the other thread, the rush capability of SGLs could be reduced to that of an MGL. This would hurt the sci trait also, albeit to a lesser degree...

[snoopy369]

And would help the Sci. trait to a large extent - because almost nobody plays with SGLs in PBEM right now...
