Diplomacy in another age

how about we continue this one now and see how it plays out, then maybe get a second one running wuth the bombard for ships and different nations for each player

I see no connection between the two (settlers and bombard) and I'm indifferent regarding bombard as I won't be building any ships - just cossacks

the tech tree - welcome to the Napoleonic Scenario

That would make my build queues quite easy to guess . Well, if you dare, feel free to make my day.


BTW, what's going on with the tech cost in this scenario? It seems the tech tree will be over in like 8 turns...

I don't mind restarting with modification to ships of the line. But I'm still against bombard on frigates. And if there would be so little change involved, why bother in the first place?

Unless you want to add bombard to the Man-O-War and Ships of the line only, that is.

[Paddy]

so do we go with a restart or not

[Ljube-ljcvetko]

Mother Russia cares not for bombardment.

Yeah, like England has any good land to settle into.

I agree that for ships of the line it does make sense. They are stronger than both frigates and the Man-O-War, so giving them bombard wouldn't change that much.

Paddy, Beta, you might want to check the Monty Python private forum.

Hmm Modo does have a good point there, maybe only ships of the line should have the added ability to bombard ??

[Paddy]

Actually I'd rather not. Without bombard the Man-O-War has a real edge over frigates. With bombard it's basically down to who finds whom and attacks first. Nay.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

yes if we want bombard to work

[Paddy]

ok folks

I have sent you all an email on this

I did not do the values on bombard correctly

thanks to Modo for testing this and finding the error

so as we have just started etc, shall we restart?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Thank you most Kindly King Modo of the British, we will not be sending an Armada of fishing vessels to your waters at this time

Onwards to the good people of Prussia and their ruling Lord Beta
