The next AU scenario

[Beta]

Peacekeepers. Americans. Love the irony in that.

And Rhoth - by definition, this shold be a pangaea map, right? As I mentioned elsewhere, if the goal is to prevent any other civ from being eliminated by its neighbours, you could effectively lose the game early in the first era on a continent map. You will never have met the victim. Simply a body lying in the gutter. Was it Mrs Peacock, or Professor Plum? And was that a candlestick or a leadpipe that caved in his skull?

It can't beat the irony of Hippie Sam in the "Give peace a chance" game, though.

I'm voting for the UN game, though the Real World scenario also sounds pretty fun. I'm curious to see what you're whipping up for us, Rhoth

[Rhothaerill]

It is a pangaea map. It had to be to be able to contact all other civs before the possibility of them being wiped out. In my first go-around on AU209 (a continents map), both England and France were gone by the time I found the other continent and the Babs were almost victim of the German KAI. It didn't happen that way in the second try I'm still playing. I don't want to defeat the theme of this game before giving everyone a chance to play the game around the theme.

Could we do "UN" on the real world map?

edit: doh, Rothy's point re: civs getting wiped out prior to intercontinental contact stands.

Hmm. Maybe world map, with all civs starting on the EuroAsAfrican superlandmass, with the Americas & Aussieland empty?

We would probably want to set this up with "Respawn" turned off.

I always turn respawn off, but in this case it shouldn't matter since the objective is to keep everyone alive anyway.

[Rhothaerill]

BTW, I plan on using roughly the same DAR format Dominae used for AU209. It will be tweaked a little bit since this is a pangaea map so contact with "the other continent" won't be one of the DAR cut-offs.

Update on this game. Obviously UN Peacekeepers has won the poll. I am currently setting up and testing the game a bit first. I hope to have it up by Saturday.

When I post this for general consumption the game will have saves ready for regent through deity skill levels using both the AU mod and standard rules.

Man that is quite an under taking Rhothaerill, thanks for the effort.

[Master Zen]

wow Rhoth, that's a lot of work. You rule

[Rhothaerill]

Actually it's not that difficult to set it up for all of them. For each of the skill levels it's just a button-click change and then save the 4000bc savegame. For the AU mod vs. standard the editor has a "default rules" option that I can change the scenario from AU mod rules to default rules.

[Dominae]

Rhoth, a little hint: they respect you more when they think you're doing a lot of work to set up the scenarios. Let them praise your efforts, minor as they may be.

Oh, umm...well it has taken a while to test the scenario first.

Oh wise sensei, thank you for your teachings.
