looks like I need glasses

now which country will I invade first then.........

actually none as it seems as though we are entrenched in where and when to start a war?

(guess which one is Paddy? )

Do you have all you need? I will play any of the civs - including Italy.

[snoopy369]

okay Beta, Italy it is ... It's probably going to be a random map start so Italy isn't so bad. I'll try to get it worked out later this week - I have a lot on my plate and a very small fork at the moment ... so much for 2 days off helping me to organize my thoughts! I ended up playing a huge/16 SP game all the two days and getting totally hooked ... 2 continents and I'm only the dominant on 1 continent, so it might actually be COMPETITIVE late game!!! Blah ... anywho i'll try my best to bust out some prototypes later this week ... sigh

You mean we're not playing on a map of Europe?

[snoopy369]

Well ... I thought the consensus was to play it on random map. But then again i'm not sure there is much of a consensus ...

The problem being that there's not a good MP WWI scenario, so we'd either have to start anew on a map of europe (could do), or start anew on a random map, but either way with the initial diplo situation ...

What do you all prefer of those two choices?

[Paddy]

Concensus

with this lot

when we all are looking at war... with this lot

[marcuspeddle]

Paddy is scaring me. . . . .

I'd like a map of Europe.

[Grandpa Troll]

and war is hell..i say go for it with a random map..but heck all we got is time.playing or talk about playing da game

[marcuspeddle]

Hmm, I'm not interested in a WW1 scenario that isn't set in Europe.

[Beta]

My interest was with a map of Europe as well. Maybe the Crusades map would work.

[Paddy]

ahh the crusades map would be good

[marcuspeddle]

That's a fine map but where would North Africa fit into WW1? Who was controlling it at that time? Sorry, my knowledge of that time period is a bit sketchy.

If you will recall Lawrence of Arabia et al. Large areas were still controlled by the old Ottoman Empire, ie the Turks, and the colonial influnce was strong in other areas.

We could leave it open - or I can do some further research and see who was in control of what.
