So Who is the best at CTP??? - A contest, ENTER NOW!

[blackice]

Not to be a "dude" but I hope the "gl'ers" are grasping the community spirit we have here at the apolyton forums.

Good work people . I will moderate full time for this tourney if need be.

[faded glory]

great. When does it start?

[J Bytheway]

Trade goods:

I thought that I'd actually made them quite common on the land, but never mind. I wanted to try to pursuade people to spread onto the other islands to get more. I do know that they're rare in the sea, and that was deliberate too because I usually find that the sea goods are far more common than the others on islandy maps and I don't like that.

You may have noticed I put 3 of each of beavers, poppies and coffee near the start so you can get a triplet wherever you like your first few cities.

If there's demand it wouldn't be hard to add more goods.

The mountains and the sea:

Also deliberate, at least on the starting continents - to make you decide what you really want. IIRC on one of the islands there's some mountain and sea close (with only one square of plains/grassland between).

Anyway, thanks for the nice comments.

Thanks for the plug - anyone interested can find out more in this thread.

Nice map! Yes a few more goods would be nice.When are the rules going to be set forth? The biggy, is pollution on? thanks for the map JByetheway.

[Gavrushka]

I think Pollution must be on..... It makes certain very straightforward Strategies way to simple....

J Bytheway... when I meant a triple as regards goods, I meant Three of the same good in the city perimiter with 4 imported for a total of 7 - Although that is just because of the way we play... Maybe we leave it??

I am not quite sure how to load map for multiplay..... I will play about until it works.

Dragon1 - I think the rules will be debated over the next week.... But this is what I see. (the basics)



1. No rush buy switching
2. No slic command use
3. A win scores 1 point, a loss 0 points
4. Anyone who drops out of the competition has all results nullified .
5. Turn by turn saves must be taken, and on Victory the losing player gets to check them all for cheating.
6 Wonders on or off.... I dunno!
7 Pollution on or off.... I say on!
8 Every player has to play every other player, no knock outs.
9 in the event of a draw, a new map will be forthcoming, and the whole competition will be run again with the drawn players.
10. If a player is booted, the other player must immediately save the game with the name bootedand turn number.. before retiring to lobby to wait.
11. In the event of a dispute both players will be shot.
12. No one from New Zealand May enter the competition!

Will now look at the map. As for the playoffs, I think that, should there be a draw, we need a new map to play on it.

As for Gav's proposed rules:

1-4. Completely agree.
5. Is that real?
6. On
7. On
8. Exactly
9. Exactly
10. You're the techie here...
11. I'll take the gun
12.
13. If Saddam wins a game, that one is re-played

When ever I started I noticed that I couldnt disband my city. Then I built a settler made a new city . Afterwards I tried to disband my first city and I found out that I could only do this after I built my second city. So it seems for some reason I have to keep at least 1 city. This is different from normal game play and I was wondering if there are or could be more "bug/errors" like that?

That's how it's always been when I've played - you can't disband your last city because if you did you would lose! Similarly, before you build any cities you can't disband your last settler.

Also I have played somre pre-made maps before and for some reason the tech doesn't reach REN AGE. I just hope those kind of thing are worked out before any play starts. And thanks for the map JByetheway.

What exactly do you mean? Do you mean that you cannot research any of the techs in the Renaissance? That would be very odd...

We have the map, the basics of the rules, the players... I guess it is soon time to close entry, and start playing.... Solver, over to you.. Do you think close entry Friday, debate the rules, and start the friday after?

I think if Blackice will not play.... which would be a tremendous shame , it would be great if he helped moderate disputes??

[Patryn]

Hey, if no one has that patch, then I will be forced to go to the nearest game store and shell out $20. Sacrifices must be made I suppose. Also, it will not let me download the attachment. It says "not found" in big black letters. Is it down, or does my computer just suck?

[jpww]

$20 for CTP???!!!

[Patryn]

Ok, only $10. I was looking on the net, and there isn't a ctp game in stock for 200 miles!!! Oh well, just have to have it delivered. I should have it in 3-5 days. I hope so anyway, I am having withdrawals.

Time it is a time issue BUT yes I believe I am qualified to moderate the saved game files.... I will full time do just that but would like the likes of nukeboy, Jbtw, Birdy, Quinns etc.. and others to assist any takers?
