Thanks for that

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I am happy to wait for the patch and am not so bothered about restarts.

Are we going continents definitely ?

[Paddy]

Either way... I don't mind.

ok, newest insider news: the next patch will be released in march, as soon as jesse has the translations.
the current beta patch (for english versions) is available and it's allowed to be passed on... just not publicly because it's likely people would get all mixed up.

Feel free to let other people use this patch, I just don't want the general community to become confused by its existence.

if it's ok for all of you, we'll start the game with this 1.18 patch.
here are the changes:

[sabrewolf]

as you see, there are MAJOR changes in the industrial age...

for us a difference is the non-loadability in older versions.

[Paddy]

1.18 looks good to me

[smellymummy]

where did the 1.18 info come from? could we get a link please?

[CerberusIV]

I am having to drop all my current games so count me out of this one. Sorry.

[Paddy]

ouch, that is a real shame.

hope all is good...

Looking forward to your return...

[sabrewolf]

i've PMed you all.

please vote on following issues as soon as possible. i'm hoping to start the game for sunday/monday...

i'll set up the game as soon as a majority has been reached on all points.

A: continents or pangea? (random not an option, because archipelagio could suck bigtime)
B: 60%, 70%, or 80% water or "random"

i guess the other stuff is ok. anyone who wants a restart should say so as soon as possible. post a screenshot of your starting location and a reason, why you want to restart (eg. tundra/jungle only, 20 tile island, AI touching your borders, etc).
whoever requests a restart will get the same civ as before... so restarting because you don't like the traits isn't ok.

speaking about civs:
chrisius and paddy: what civs are you going to take? or will you join in on random civs?

edit: removed cerberusIV... shall we replace him with another human or an AI?

[Paddy]

Continents

70% Water

My civ depends on the land type:
Continents = England
Pangea = Mayans

thanks

[sabrewolf]

cerberusIV. oh, pity...

hope to play you another time!

[sabrewolf]

my votes:
continents,
random water

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Id go with Continents and Byzantines, but if you decide on pangea then Id take Celts or Rome if thats okay with others.

Continenets and medium water sounds fine

Dont really care about restarts, if youre out youre out, and its good to have a challenge some times. Dont mind others restarting if they feel it is absolutely necessary
