Naval PBEM - Huge, Pre-Made, Rich, Islands, No Corruption, No Tech Trading, 6 Players

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I voluteer to make the map even though I am a player.

But only if we do NOT use randomized starts and resources.



(GhengisFarb wonders if there is an overlay option in the map editor for Wonders)

[ormuzd]

I still don't have any suggestions for map maker. Did someone make a thread?

Not sure what you mean, but I wouldn't want that each players starting positions are known... Sure, there should be placed places where the different players CAN start, but I don't want to have: Egypts starts on spot x=blah y=blahblah... It should be randomized between the set spots...

It was a joke. I volunteered to make the map if randomized resources were turned off meaning I could plant all of the resources and luxuries around MY starting position.

Anybody thought of asking someone who has uploaded a map in the creation forum?

I haven't posted a thread, but I think Eli should do it, since it's him who started this thread

[Eli]

Oh, bugger.

Okay, let's hope somebody volunteers.

Btw, this is the thread. Apparently I made a DP.

Should the Wonders with city effects (like the Pyramids and Sun Tzu) be changed from "in every city in continent" to "every city". There usefullness is greatly diminished if they can only effect 2-3 cities at most. They would also be major strategic targets if they effect ALL of the owners cities.

Others:
The Hanging Gardens
Hoover Dam
JS Bach's Cathedral


Perhaps instead of changing the cost of sea units and making them cheaper we can add the ability to the Harbor improvement of "adds +1 shield to water tiles" thus making coastal cities more productive.

It would be hard to make them cost 30% less since all units are expressed in a cost of ten factor.

Definetely! Good point.

Sheik has the map ready. I would suggest to sort all players in a east-to-west order, to get an optimal flow. If the time zones entered by you are correct, that would be:

GMT+2 - Eli
GMT+2 - ormuzd
GMT+1 - Sir Ralph
GMT+1 - ADG
GMT+0 - CerberusIV
GMT-6 - GhengisFarb

Places 1/2 and 3/4 could be swapped, I sorted the list E-to-W according to the country flag. In case of ADG and myself I had even to resort to the approximate center of gravity of the countries, although I'm still not very sure . Not that this matters much.

If we are agreed with this order, we need to clarify the civs we want to play, and possible customizations of the Names. I would like to be an Ultima VII revival civ and therefor be:

Title: Lord
Name: British
Civ: Britannia / Britannians / Britannian

[ormuzd]

This seems good for me.
I'd like to take Japan without any changes

[Harovan]

I'd like to be the Persians, with the aforementioned customization. (Edit: Civ changed, it was the Celts before, but anyway...)

We had agreed not to take commercial and expansionist, hadn't we? Just a reminder for the rest.

[CerberusIV]

Ottomans for me.
