Clash of the Continents - set up thread

[Paddy]

awe here I was thinking you said you were targeting me especially

some thing about having played my turn

war is good for the economy -

[snoopy369]

Nope, i'm pretty boring.

[Paddy]

boring - me thinks not old chap

ahh it is all good

[Rhothaerill]

All I have to say for Paddy is...remember Egypt.

[Paddy]

bloody 'ell lad, not you as well

blood feud's all over the shop

ahh well the benefit of this is that me market gardens will be very very busy places

it should be known that my people do like to trade in some amazing produce, ya know, all the ancient herbalism, and various issues that we Chinese just love to have

they will soon be able to add some strange and twisted items, such as: bollocks of catherine; horn o'viken; tounge of con; and second letter french partisseries.

yet knowing how industrious my people can be, I am sure they will not stop there... ahh the blood 'n' bone will make our desert fields so fertile

[snoopy369]

Hmmm... Methinks you be speaking out both sides, my friend ... My viking raiders will make a shambles out of your poorly constructed bamboo huts. I mean, given what we did to those English saps and their *stone* buildings ... what will a silly reed do against the might of the Viking?

[Aqualung71]

Don't worry Paddy, your allies will protect you

And I dare say snoopy's Vikings will be consigned to the pages of history before the word Berserker is even Invented!

[snoopy369]

Methinks that is highly unlikely. The Viking Berserk is a highly specialized unit that will be used to the utmost extent of its power during the upcoming conflict, and your women and children shall not be made safe from the Berserkers' terrible wrath!

Beta emailed me and asked me to check this out for purposes of setting up a map. As I am at work, all I have had the opportunity to do is skim the thread. I have a couple of good ideas, so that I can make a map and scenario for you. As you know, however, it is always nicer to have two working on it. Hopefully Oct will agree to jointly do a map.

Also, RL is a bit time pressed lately, so I will not be able to really dig in and do anything other than this post for the next couple of days. If someone can, post or email me a summary of everything, including teams, rules, diff barb settings, etc. that you want.

[snoopy369]

Sounds good, Godking! Thanks for helping!

[Beta]

Sir Ralph actually got back to me today offering to help out. GK - if OK with you, I am going to take SR up on his offer. Sounds like you have a bit on the go. Many thanks for offering to help out. OTOH, if you are dying to do this map, I'm sure SR would understand.

(Beta does the diplomatic shuffle, not wanting to upset any of the mapmakers. )

[snoopy369]

I dunno, beta ... seeing what little i've seen of the barb map, i'm afraid of Sir Ralph's mapmaking ...

(Just kidding, so far.)

ahh the words of a cat in the alley....

[GodKing]

Good luck. This sounds like a fun map to make, but if SR can do so earlier, go for it.

It will not upset me one bit, although that looks more like a waltz, not the shuffle.....

Anyways, if SR wants a proof checker, just have him contact me.

[McMeadows]

any news from SR?

And did we reach a consensus over what is legitemate in the pre-game discussion in crontast to in-game? As far as I understand, we are allowed to discuss anything we want untill we start the game, after which we obey the contact rules as for iron civ... Hmm would mean we have to establish embassies. Or do they come prebuild with locked alliances? And would we be allowed to share maps after mapmaking?
