Maq, Cloud vs Toni, Barley

[Maquiladora]

When we complete this game i was thinking we could use a premade map for the next game? Or more specifically the best one there is, Omni's World map, which ive attached.

With 1.5x giga maps the size is 105x210. Omni's map is 210x210 so the difference isnt great.

I havent gone through it yet but i think its possible to setup in the scenario editor, bbut i would need to test it with someone else in MP, and the joining order for each player, things like that.

You would each choose a starting civ, then id place your settlers where your civ capitol is IRL, save it as a save game (not a scenario), then resume it in load mp game. The then you each join the game in order the players are in the save i created with the map.

We can test these things at the time, and if it doesnt work we just play another random.

[Maquiladora]

This would be my starting location or we can just ban everyone from the Americas....

If you look around the map there is alot of equally excellent starting locations though.

[bernhj]

That is a cool map. I will play it on a LAN with my brothers later. What are the max city limits?

[Maquiladora]

Its just the map, you will have to setup and place the civs yourself.

[Barley]

Im free for a game on Friday, anytime after 7.30pm GMT and can play for 8 hours or so.

Any chance we can get a 4 player together?



Like the map lol but ill bagsy that America’s start please lol – though with my luck in 4 player games ill probably end up starting in North Africa lol.

Oh and ive not been around for about a week as not been well but a im better now

[Maquiladora]

We're resuming a 4 player this friday at 9pm gmt with me, cloud, toni and quimby, so it could be a while before we start a new one, but perhaps after that.

[Toni]

Just an idea, seeing that Barley can play on Friday, all 5 of us will be here, so i talked to Cloud, and we concluded why don't we play a game of 5? Me and C vs Maq, Quimby and Barley. Just curious to see what u guys think

[Maquiladora]

Okay as you said we will scrap the 2v2 for now and look towards the 3v2. We were planned for 9pm GMT so we can stick with that for now unless Cloud cna make it earlier, we will know later.

Me and Toni will confirm the rules and ill post the zip here tomorrow or send on icq.

[Maquiladora]

Toni, didnt catch you on icq, ill post this zip now, see what you all think.

- Nothing from goody huts.
- x2 Gigantic Map
- x3 Slower science
- Starting techs: Toolmaking, Agriculture, Religeon.
- No ranking graphs or details of score. (but overall score remains)
- No ''overall'' graph on load/save screen for host anymore.

There will be 5 of us so we said 2x giga map, and i thought slightly slower science, as it was still a little fast last time.

[Toni]

Yea sorry Maq for not being on the icq, but had a game going with Cloud all day, as promised C took his win, well done. Ok for the Game on Friday yea the sets look good. I think C will be good with them as well. I talked with Quimby about the new game, so he has nothing againt it, he is looking forward for it. Am just worried about Barley, tried gettting in touch with him via email and the icq no reply as of yet still Time stays the same 9pm gmt to meet. See u

[Quimby]

We using this latest data file for sure? (I'll have it loaded up and ready to go today if so).

Any word from Barley?

[Toni]

Haven't heard from Barley yet Quimby, so if he doesn't shows up we will just play the usual teams, we gave him enough time to reply. See u at 9pm gmt

[Barley]

Hi,

Im in a bit of a quandry and though I really want to play I have had agonising toothache since last night and don’t think I am up to sitting for a long stint of gaming.

My mouth is thorbbing like hell and it really hurts.

I am willing to start but think there is a high chance id have to stop after playing a relatively short while. Its up to you but I think not playing is the best option, at least you can still continue your 4 way game then?

Im really sorry to let you down, especially after youd made arrangements for a 3v2 (which sounds very interesting). Oh and ive also only posted this at the last minute as ive been hoping that my pain will improve.

If your interested to know I have been to the dentist and am on antibiotics till Monday when they are going to do a root filling. The pills take up to 24 hours to kick in though, in the meantime im getting by with paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

[Toni]

Ok so about the continuation, i will try talking in Cloud to find time for the weekend to play, but at best i think if he can that will be at night, so Maq it would be bad timing for you. Let me try and see what happens, i will post ones i heard from him

[Maquiladora]

Anytime is fine Toni, the sooner we can all agree, the better, as far as im concered, before the game goes stale and i forget what my civ looks like
