Tundra Tribes

[marcuspeddle]

I got this idea because I misunderstood one of Paddy's PBEMs.
Four players on a small map composed almost entirely of tundra!

We'll need someone to make a map for us. Make it as you please but please make at least 90% of the land tiles tundra. You can add some hills and snow-capped mountains. There should be pine forest and lots of game. Other resources and luxuries are up to the map maker. Be creative!

Players and play order:
1. Paddy the Scot - Iroquois
2. Masuro - Maya
3. LzPrst - Dutch
4. j26 - Ottomans

is this for conquest, and with accel production on?

[marcuspeddle]

It's for Conquests but not with accelerated production.

[LzPrst]

hmmm, might like to join, but unfortunately I dont have time to make the map. I have an exam on april 1st. (no joke)

[Paddy]

hahahahaha

ok, I will have a go at the map.

and if you will have me, I would also like to play....



yeah I will be good....

can I please be Iroquoi?

[marcuspeddle]

Hmmm, if you want to play I think we should get someone to make a map for us.

[LzPrst]

btw I wanna play dutch if there will be oceans and celts if there wont.

[marcuspeddle]

Okay, I'll update the player list at the top of the thread.

[Paddy]

ok, I do want to play... thanks

so any ideas on who does the map then

[LzPrst]

thats the problem, who wants to do a map they cant play? paddy, you probably know a lot of folks around here, could u ask around? but on the other hand whats to stop a player from sneak peaking? wouldnt it be better just to make a map with cold terrain.

[marcuspeddle]

I want to make this terrain very challenging so I want mostly tundra and some trees. A cold setting on the map generator won't do that. I'm looking for Canadian Artic territory.

[LzPrst]

but the cities will be very small and without acc.prod. the game will never properly get going...
we'll probably have max size 6-8 cities...

[Paddy]

I will ask around some for a map maker

we all should

[marcuspeddle]

I'm fine with the cities being small but perhaps you're right about accelerated production; perhaps we should use it to make the game flow.

As for the map, I suppose I could make it and show it to everyone before we begin.

If we can't get another player soon would you like to use some AI players?

[j2k]

I'd like to play. Can I be the Ottomans?
