OFT Game - Edition #2

[Mathemagician]

continued from here which was miraculously closed and put to archives.

original post ahead:
==============

Since Troll had to 'drop out' of our first OFT game and since I'm certain this concept will find more followers here is now the second edition of the OFT (One Free Tech) game.

The concept:
Each player gets one free technology, to be chosen among all advances within the first few turns of the game (configurable). The idea is from me, the scenario has been implemented by Hatschy with help from J.Bytheway.

You can find the first edition here.
Hatschy is moderating that one. After Troll's sudden death the remaining players are Protoss72000, FlameFlash, J.Bytheway, Dimytes and myself.

So far, i plan to moderate the second edition myself. I suggest we play with 4 players this time, to get the game moving fast on the one side, but keep it interesting regarding competition and diplomacy on the other.

So...
Sign up as long as there is space.

Troll, can I count you in with 4 players ?

Scenario file attached, so you can experiment with it.

[Stas]

my e-mail: stas911@infomania.com.ua

[EPW]

Yes! Lets start!!

[Mathemagician]

uh oh... unexpected. but cooool.

i would need from everyone their desired civ and from EPW his email address.

is everyone content with these settings ?

Gigantic World
Donut
Deity
Restless Tribes
Ruins On and allowed
Pollution On
Bloodlust Off

Land 30%
Diversity 100%
Good Count 100%
Other Sliders at 50%

I would need to know if you want Farm/Mine under City building allowed, if you want any wonders banned, ...

Also configurable for the starting player are city growth and bombardment messages. i suggest for the starting player to set all of these "On". if someone doesnt want to, please state so.

also, i will even out starting positions manually like Hatschy did in Issue #1.

did i forget anything ?
