Ctp Competition Rule Discussion..

Hey, if it a pre-made map..... couldn't we start with 40 settlers and Theocracy? Along with 10 million gold? That would be fun. Hehe. Really though, 5 settlers and 2500 gold sounds good to me. What are we going to do, average them out for the amount?

[Patryn]

If that is the case, since 6 people have placed their votes, if we started now, we have 23 settlers and 7600g all divided by g and we get about 4 settlers and 1300g. Does that sound like a good way to do it? May not work out very good for the people who want 1 settler and 100g but it would be the fairest way to go.

[J Bytheway]

You've got to be careful... someone might choose more extreme values than they really want just to skew the average in their preffered direction. Also some people (e.g. Paulno1) said 3 settlers MINIMUM - does that mean 3 is his preffered number?

[Gavrushka]

1 - 9 settlers
100-5000 gold?

[yoda]

map and starting positions

I vote for 3 settlers and between 100 gold and 3000 gold (preference would be 100 gold).

No wonders. Pollution OFF. No Barbarians. No addition tech other than the three basics. Piracy is optional, but probably best as No piracy. Pillaging is OK. Diety level of course.

As for the map, I STILL can't get my map to work as an MP game. Can someone try and get it working and then post a copy for the rest of us to play test? I haven't tried the New Map yet to see if I can get it to work.

From Dr. Doom

Doom would like 3 settlers and 2000 gold. Pollution off, diety/no barbarians. Piracy optional. Standard three starting tech. Oh yes, and NO wonders.

I think I agree maybe 100 gold , why not....

Kansas wanted in Yoda?? What do you think ?

And do you know about Gods cheat?? The Auto disband city on capture?? I am trying to find how he did it to counter it... SLIC command I guess.... Despite that still beat him.....

[Gavrushka]

Where should I deposit Prize money? Or should I just western union it on completion of comp?

Since we are still a bit away from starting, why not let Kansas in? He is a fairly good player. As for the auto disband city issue, I don't know how that one works. Personally, I disband any size 3 or less as it is about to be captured. However, I have noticed that some people manage to disband a city right after it is captured. Is it a trick? I don't know, but I sure would like to know.

Yoda, it is a trick - and I will find out how it is done- we were talking major resync city in a two player with God- I have every save, which can be examined - one way or the other the cheat will be identified and defeated. - But God aint good enough even with cheats to defeat the almighty Gavrushka....

I don't want Kansas in the comp unless he apologises for sinking my longship filled with women and children.........

Cya in the lobbies. I'll be there around 9:30am my time (9:20 now).

[Gavrushka]

Yoda I am free now- NL server?? C U THERE!

[drAgON1]

I dont really think that there is an autodisband city trick. When I know a city is about to be takin over I pull up the city on my city screen and as they enter I push the disband button and it will work abit after the city is taken. Is that what your talking about?
