Who else can fit in one more game ??

[smellymummy]

i dont want to forbid that or anything ... just look at the map, see how it is coast tiles at the eastern most tip of asia and western most tip of america? and those coast tiles connect.. so there's no suicide there at all, it's just regular sailing

[Modo44]

Like I said, I don't mind leaving ships in the deep water for a turn, so they get a chance to sink. And you'd need to make the Ocean 3 tiles wide against Galleys and 2 tiles wide against Curraghs anyway...

[smellymummy]

unless ocean or sea tiles have movement penalties for curraghs and galleys. it can make those water tiles nearly impassable. see that way, ocean and sea tiles can cost 2 or more movement points to galleys or curraghs, and the regular movement for more modern ships

i thought thats what was implemented for the england - iceland 2 tile wide ocean.

Um I have not started this game, I am actually unaware it was down to me, though I can do so if that is desired/required

Before anything though you need to finalise these ocean sea tile discussions your having, and has a decision been made about the baloon unit mentioned earlier ?

I will need the final map to set the game up so someone let me know when its ready

Alternatively Ozzy could start the game, if any problems though Im happy to do it

[Ljube]

Ozzy, put ocean everywhere so Americas can't be reached with galleys and disable galley and curragh moves into ocean squares.

This will make navigation more important.

Remove balloon unit in spite of its coolness.

Start the game, or Chris you do.

and thank you

Ok, I hadn't intended to start a discussion on the subject, so I'll just post an edited map. I thought instead of asking everyone to download another map, that'd it'd be easier to just go on the honor system. But no worries, here is the new map.

Galleys and Curraghs can't enter ocean squares at all, and that was the original intention of the map, I just missed the diagonal crossings at the Berring straight. So that's been fixed now in this map. Check to verify, but there should be no way to get to the new world until Navigation.

I'd be happy to start, but as I've never done a PBEM game before, either in Civ3 or Civ2, I may not be the best choice. I nominate Chris.

So again, this is the new map, please replace the old map with this one.

[Grandpa Troll]

Ok, I'm tired of waiting for this to get going, so I gave it a shot myself. Didn't seem too hard to set up. Heres to hoping I didn't screw anything up. It goes to Egypt next.
