Question.... which is which?

Is this the real world thread and Snoopy's is the random map one?

[Earthworm]

I think CM seems to be leaning toward the random map, and he started this thread. So I would say this is the random map thread and Snoopy's poll thread should be converted to the real world thread.

I would like to stick with the random map, although I would vote for a Standard, or if necissary Large map, but definetely not Huge.

[Modo44]

Random map, please.

Ozzy, this is the Chrisius' thread and the otheer is Snoopy's. That's how much I understand so far. Too much clutter.

[smellymummy]

how big is the real world or the random map?

[OzzyKP]

The world map is standard size.

[smellymummy]

i vote for world map then


are we also going to have real life civ placement?

[OzzyKP]

Yes, real world civ placement. As I said in the other thread, this means we'll have to limit people's choices a bit to ensure everyone doesn't pick to be in Europe of course.

I'd like to keep the Americas open because it keeps the fun of the colonial period in tact. With 8 players I recommend players in West Europe, East Europe, India, China, Mid East, Australia, South Africa, and either central Africa or central/northern Asia.

With 5 players we should go with W. Europe, E. Europe, S. Africa, China, Mid East.

Here is the map. Usually I insist on perfection with maps, and this isn't it. But designing maps with Civ3 is harder than in Civ2. I took a standard world map someone did and tweaked it a bit for accuracy and playability, but its still not perfect *sigh* but it is good.

[smellymummy]

i'll take egypt as my civ choice

will the resources be randomly placed?

[Modo44]

China

[OzzyKP]

To encourage trade and negotiation and war over resources I've limited each resource (luxury and strategic) to one per player. All in their general historical locations. So there is a lot of oil in the middle east and a lot of silk in China. Also, so the game doesn't get unbalanced at the start, I've placed an iron and horse within each player's starting sphere of influence.

In the modpack I created I also edited the galleys so they can't cross ocean to avoid suicide galleys that make it to the new world anyways.

[OzzyKP]

Modo, I thought you wanted the random map game? I guess the world map folks have taken over this thread, so try the other one I suppose.

I'll go for India. Though I'm flexible if someone really wants it. And if we only get 5 players, then I'll move elsewhere to keep us spaced out.

[smellymummy]

ozzy can you post the map, i'd like to have a closer look at it

[Modo44]

Ozzy, I'll join both games. I just wanted to state my vote. This one is still Chirsius' game, remember.
