Do we, as a team...

[GeoModder]

... have a more or less single view on the settings of this game?

My preferences would be Terra Map, agressive barbs, cultural switch after conquest, free religion choice, no tech brokering and permanent alliances.

My main concern is that a navy still plays a part in the game. A pangaea map, or something similar, could turn into a land force only and that wouldn't be any fun to me.

So long as it is not an "islandy" map - need early contact IMO, and the map is not too big - then I am easy really.

I would suggest that you guys get involved in the discussions though.

My real concern is the length of time on the turn clock.

As a Demo game - we need time to discuss stuff - get everyones opinion. As such I think 36 hours should be the minimum.

I know some people will be pushing for 24 hours - but lets think this through please.

[Nugog]

Also - no AI Civs - for fairly obvious reasons.

And no Raging Barbs - as they boring IMO.

Apart from that I am happy with whatever - including leaving Random Events turned on.

I don't care the settings. That's my view.

I like Inland Sea. I'm having a really great game at that particular map just now... But it doesn't really matter as long as the map is balanced... And no raging barbs, as Nugog said it's really boring.

[GeoModder]

Okay, I agree to no raging barbs if you agree to no inland sea map.

[Zoid]

Well...ok.

[Nugog]

Aww - teamwork at it's finest.................

How about 'large and small' with islands mixed in. Usually turns into two continents with a few islands that hopefully are near us.

Plenty of contact.

Personally, I like the fanmade PerfectWorld script better. It's a bit like "Big and Small", but also comes up with 1 or 2 Terra-style islands/continents . With no player start positions thus.

I like it too, but in our current SG we're finding it sucks in certain areas. Everyone else is a long ways from us. In fact we were able to settle neighboring continents uncontested, even after ignoring those lands for a long time.

Other than that, it does appear to be a great map for this sort of game. The resources aspect could make this game very interesting both diplomatically and militaristically (don't believe that's a word).

Edit: For those unfamiliar with the script, like resources are only found in the same general area. In other words you're not going to find sheep/cows/copper/etc scattered around the map. Instead that specific resource will only be found in a certain area of the map and no where else. There are other features, but this would play the biggest importance for this game.

[Nugog]

That does not sound so good for a team demogame.

We have enough problems as it is trying to get teams to accept non balanced resources...........

One of the rules mention no changes to the basic program, yes?

[GeoModder]

Hey, don't get carried away guys. I only stated which mapscript I like. Not that I wanted it to be used for this demogame.
