Reviving the tradition: Succession Games

[Hermann the Lombard]

Wouter,

If you want to use Cradle 1.3, I downloaded it today and I'll try it tonight, but from looking at the tail end of the Cradle 1.2 thread (over in Mods), it looks like 1.3 is a bit buggy. At minimum we'd have to agree on which fixes to apply. I'm willing to try this, but we just have to be sure we're all "on the same page."

Great Boney

That means that we *could* start two games if we want to. We have 11 players and I for one am willing to participate in (and even host) both games. So what I want to know from everyone is:

1. Do you have objections to playing with two teams (i.o.w. to have less participants per game)?

2. If we're playing two games, would you like to participate in both games or just in one of them?

If there are no strong objections, I suggest we make the first game start ASAP (with 6 or 7 players) and the second one when hex and Boney have their computers back in working order. So:

3. If the answer to Q2 is 'only one', then would you prefer to play in the first game (i.o.w. start ASAP) or in the second one (i.o.w. wait longer and possibly have more participants - more people might sign up in the time it takes for the game to start)?

For the sake of simplicity I propose both teams play a Cradle v1.3 game. I think the main reason for hexagonian to participate is because it's a Cradle game so the second game should certainly be a Cradle one. The first one should start ASAP and this is easier when we use the settings as agreed upon already, rather than re-negotiating them.

If everyone can answer these questions and possibly post other feedback/ideas, I will try and split us all up in two teams (or not) and get the first game going ASAP...

Team if we play one game:
1. Locutus
2. Hermann the Lombard
3. Immortal Wombat
4. kaan
5. Assur
6. (hexagonian)
7. Gazablanca
8. Badfuzzy
9. Oerdin
10. yservel
11. (Boney)

Teams if we play two games:
1. Locutus
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?

1. Locutus
2. hexagonian
3. Boney

Okay, it seemed okay to me (played a short game). If it's buggy, I'm don't mind playing v1.2 either, but we'll have to be sure everyone is using the same set of files...

I see you took my advise

nope

Just one I think

First one... Yes. First one.

Better get that userprofile.txt sorted then

NumPlayers? 8? I know it'll be determined by the file coming round, but if we all set it now, then we can put the file on write-protect, and stop any stupid changes happening.

[Locutus]

I proposed 6 opponents earlier, which makes NumPlayers 7 (right?). But I'm open to other suggestions, esp. if we're playing two games. Maybe 8 players on a Regular map is a little too much (7 is already a lot)? I'd very much like to hear what others think...

In any case, I don't think it really has to go in userprofile.txt. If I don't screw up the game set-up, I can't see how stupid changes can occur...

Hi, I think I would be ready to play the first game (ASAP)...

I have no objection to all your proposals.

What is cradlle? How do u install it?

[Boney]

checking hard drive tomorrow

I am going to check if my hard drive is ready tomorrow. If so count me in, if not give it another week.

I have not played ctp2 for nearly two weeks now. (cold turkey)But I have played ctp1 on my friends computer.

[Gazablanca]

Answers to the q's....

1.No objections

2.Only one game plz...

3.I would prefer to start in the first game

Thanx

[kaan]

6 AI players + 1 human + 1 barbarian = 8 players

and i would rather be in a game with many players.

Ouch... You've never even heard of Cradle? Cradle of Civilizations is a mod that radically improves the game. You can download the readme files here, download the mod itself from The Land of Hexagonia and read more about it in this (huge) thread.

Since you've never heard of Cradle, it not might be wise to have you in the first team. If you play in second team you'll have more time to install and get acquainted to this mod (the first game might start as soon as tonight). Perhaps it even turns out you hate Cradle and don't want to participate at all if we play with Cradle (don't worry, you'll love it ), so we'll have to be careful. So for now I've assigned you to the second team. If you *really* want to participate in the first team and have the mod installed and everything before the first game starts, I'm willing to see if I can move you to the first team.

Kaan,
D'oh! You're right Fortunately this is much harder to screw up i the game setup screen

I'm afraid you're a minority, so I've assigned you to the second team. I'm still hoping even more people will sign up in the next few days, so you may still have your way...

All,
Seeing how Cradle v1.3 is apparently not stable, does anyone have a problem with us using v1.2 Cradle (12/19 update from hexagonian's website, no further modifications of any kind)? I'm talking about the regular Cradle game here, no Deity Slayer or Huge maps or any other kind of variation...

Team 1:
1. Locutus
2. Immortal Wombat
3. Gazablanca
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?

Team 2:
1. Locutus
2. hexagonian
3. Boney
4. Badfuzzy
5. (yservel)
6. kaan

Not yet assigned:
1. Hermann the Lombard
2. Assur
3. Oerdin

We can still use new players: Sign up now!

My lack of knowledge is deep, but my will to learn is high...

I am going to download it as soon as...now...

I will post a threat before tonight to tell you more about my wish to be integrated in the first team or not.
