Revised Political Concept.

[Zero]

BEFORE WE CHOOSE A MAP MAKER:::

Map maker should also be a historian. Just a thoguht.

Also, I played this game with a friend before.... 2 civ perma allied to fight agst uber AI. The game needed numerous amount of balance and tweak until it was playable. Someone who's making a map should also be a beta tester of the map.

My Political plan is that everyone starts out together and we go forth and compete to explore and colonize the world.

oh I misunderstood it then. Your city state game allows wars within the states then? IF that is so, there is a chance that we may kill each other off first until we merge into one big empire and only then we go after AI. Since neighbors are the best civ to conquer in this game.

Understood. I think that the process will take at least a week or two to iron out the particulars. I am a little concerned about the no pop cost 10 shield settlers. If the AI islands are too big, you humans are gonna get crushed......

I can be historian as well. Though the beta testing might be helpfull if thee was another willing to stay "out of it" and test it with me....

PS I am still waiting for the bic file.

[ManicStarSeed]

I am not waiting

I am pulling together a map and getting the Mod ready. I PMed Klorrep to see if he is interested in helping.

Bix sent.

[ManicStarSeed]

I havent review the Bix yet, but ...Ok Lets solidify this so far..

This is what I gleaned to date....


I have the two bix files....One from genghis and one I made up last night. The one I made up needs bonuses tiles and terrain mods to get that uber growth that I think is the target here. I am working on the realism of the map. The barb Settler might need to be 15 instead to make up for the fact that the terrain will be far more varied.
.
The mission....
A basic mod where the AI has a barbarian setteler, 10 cost, no pop.
Human players breed like rabbits with bonus (wheated) grasslands and plains and floodplains. Settle and Explore with a jump on map making.



This is the mod in mind, to date....
All (human) Civs start with Map Making....
AI has a barbarian setteler, 10 cost, no pop.
Palace keeps (2-4 happy) and acts like sewer system?


Kloreep and I are working on the world we are looking to make it interesting and new. We have a few suprises up our sleeve...

ahyway....

so very tired...

The one I sent you has had all the UU's adjusted as stated in my post (and that took far longer than I had realized it would) and has had the Palace changed to act like a sewer system and other options. Basically, the Citystates shouldn't have to make to many improvements to themselves, they are supposed to represent Advanced Political Citystates that manipulate and compete to colonize the uncivilized world.

The player states should all start on an island to themselves with no other settlement sites available on it.

We should be able to have a $Mini-game with it with ALL of the teams involved in one market.

I would like to join this game, if there is room?

[Kickbooti]

I like this idea. I have always wanted to be a European style colonial power (not France).

It shall be our mission to bring civilization and culture to the godless masses. What a noble cause

Just in case the Citystates thread in the Demo Forum isn't the sign up for this one I want to join also.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Umm..... which is happening? This or the CityStates game? Or both? And are the guys singing up here signing up for... which one? What is happening?

I will go and ask for a forum, but I can't do that until I know what the forum is FOR.

[Wittlich]

Good point Mr WIA - So GF, want's the name of this new game?....at least I'm assuming it will be a new game.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

This one is a the evolution of the Citystates game Arnelos and I were talking about when the PTW game first started and the one in the Demo Forum is a spin-off concept from Aidun so I don't know that this one has an official name. I just called it "political" to differentiate that this one was proposed to be completely in the open with the primary emphasis being the interactions of the Human teams.

I don't think we should ask for a Forum until the game gets going. We've already got a ton of forums.

Then how about this name:
"Open Politics"
