With Quick or perhaps Normal speed, there's at least a better sense of progress to your civ. Thinks move forward, new units are available within 20 turns instead of 50. Technologies don't take half a month real time or longer to be finished.

Agreed. If we go with a 48 hour turn timer, we don't want to have people loosing interest before their first warrior is trained

Because I'm too lazy to review the whole thread: Have any rules been agreed upon yet?

[RobWorham]

Nothing set in stone yet RP21

Once we have all the teams formed then we can get some polls going........

Maybe we should get some more discusssion going and loose polls going before we lose momentum.

[RobWorham]

We have just had the last two teams private forums set up, so lets give them a couple of days to get them frequented, and then we'll get those polls going!!!!

[RobWorham]

Before we get to the Difficulty level poll (due for release on 3rd April) can anyone explain exactly what the differences are now that BtS has been released......

Please list all differences, and if possible exactly what those differences are........

Cheers

I think if you want ALL the differences, then someone needs to paste handicap.xml.

That might also be slightly different between 3.13 & Burhic's. I assume that the next offical patch's handicap will look closer to Burhic's than 3.13 to the extent they differ.

In a nutshell though, as difficultly level increases:
1. Human's maintenance cost & inflation increases slowing the economy.
2. Human science cost increases, slowing research
3. Human bonsuses against Barbs decrease and evenually disapear entirely.
4. More chances of barbs appearing from goody huts at the expense of good items, often the best advaible.
5. Human free unit support decreases.
6. # of defenders of barb towns increase.

Following only apply if "No vasal states" unticked & a team for whatever reason grants a landmass indepence.

7. AI build costs decrease.
8. AI free unit support increases.
9. AI gets free units when it got set free?
10. AI gets free units when founding or capturing towns?
