[uselesses]

I agree about tech trading being onIt also makes the game more fun!
I don`t mind about maps and stuff really.
Whatever you thinks best
A 7 player game sounds great...

It's not that i'm so bad at researching but, when the 'calling fever' begins, you just have to give away techs to everybody, just to be able to remain in the game. That's what i hate about tech trading.
Also we have to make some rules about it:
- no contact with a faction till you meet that faction in the game;
- no council till you meet all factions in the game.
Both are hard to check on when IP playing. But if we have a gentlement's agreement on that...
We also need some other rules (regarding the known bugs of the game), especially for the PBEM, so feel free to submit them here.

Give us some details...

What do you mean with 'calling fever'

I agree on not making contacting other factions until actually finding them and counsil until all are found


Oh and next game better do simultaneous turns off... last time was really annoying with constantly synchronizing stuff. plus its kind of unfair that a faster or luckier player can 'outmove' a somewhat slower or unluckier player.

I'll be online this Friday

I'm easy about settings. I prefer smaller maps and tech trading on though.

7 players sounds good to me!

Don't give up on the league idea Bdanv. We have only been playing IP games for a few months.

If mart can create balanced MP maps, that would be fantastic.

I think anything smaller than a large map with more than 2-3 human players is unfair. Its all about if you get lucky with your starting position or not. If its a bigger map. It gives you breathing space and allows you to be creative.

In terms of my Internet - my computer is still down. I think i'm going to be buying a new one soon, when i can afford it. (within a couple of weeks hopefully). Sorry about this guys. But when it is fixed, I will play every week.

Anyway good luck in your game guys.

So let's try to bring some order in chaos. So far we have

- Huge map (random, custom, scenario or standard)
- All 14 factions playable
- Tech trading on
- No communication with other players until physical contact
- No council until you have (physical) contact with all other factions (or Empath Guild)
- No simultaneous turns

I also think these are good:
- Stagnated research on
- Random events on

These ones I'm not sure about, could go either way:
- Blind research
- Tech stealing

NEW LEAGUE GAME SETUP

***EDITED***

Rules coming up soon...
I asked Mart if he can help us.
I think the setup of the League game will take us some more days, so what should we do this friday?

[Andijvie]

Here my other prefs:
-All victories on.
blind research on
-tech steal on
- no random persona or agenda
- rest standard

wait for me tonight, ill be there

[Mart]

I can create maps. Write the first map settings (and other too in the order you need the games to start)

settings - size, how many players (any AI?) - these are the most important, then other like rainfall, fungus, etc.

I have to work on veterans map, then I create maps for the tcp/ip here. I have also old maps from games few years back, that you haven't seen, they might use a bit update for number of players.

[Hercules]

Thanks Mart for your help.

And if you want to play as well I am sure we can get Hobbes or even ( hush ) Googlie to create a map or two.

[Hercules]

Signing in but I can't stay as long tonight as last time., but at least until 12.30 maybe 1.00 am

[uselesses]

Eveything Andijvie said sounds good to me.
