[Toni]

LOL

Guys just forget what happened today, lets focus on Thursday Game.

[Toni]

Actually I and Epw are pretty happy seeing you arguing This is good for our world domination strategy

[Maquiladora]

Its fine, we always argue. But someone telling me to be more flexible with regards to this game is like Barley genuinely telling Toni to speed up.

[Toni]

SEE YOU ALL THURSDAY

Good to see we are back on track, and everybody is happy

Thats the spirit Toni wants

[Barley]

I accept your points Maq, sometimes I do take the game to seriously, see you all on Thursday.



Lol Toni…. You going for 1000 posts or something… that’s 2 4 in a row’s in so many days.

PS. We went arguing, it is a friendly discussion, on the battlefield we fight as one mighty unstoppable force.

[Toni]

Yes, I'm on my way to settle a record as an active poster LOL

[Toni]

Actually, we just need some more replies to set ours thread as the most replied abd active one LOL

[Maquiladora]

Exactly, nothing serious. We only get serious in-game

By the way I took down the mod to add the new science costs and fix the annoying tiny islands one last time.

• increased science cost by era:
  ancient x4
  ren. x8
  modern x12
  genetic x14
  diamond x14
  
• x1.75 giga map (increased continent amount and maximum size proportionally to prevent tiny isles)
  
• no ruins
  
• no graphs (including one in load/save screen)
  
• all tech choices
• starting 3 techs - religeon, agriculture, toolmaking.
  
• fortifying a unit gives +100% defence (was +50%)
  
• terrain:
  
  Food/Production/Commerce
  
  Was > Is now
  
  Add time/cost/advance = turns/pw cost/advance required to add this terrain
  Remove time/cost/advance = turns/pw cost/advance required to remove this terrain

  10/15/5 > 10/10/10
  
• all terrain defence values x2
  
• fort defence +200% (was +50%)
  
• after the above changes are made, all terraforming and tile imp cost +50% (except those in bold which are correct current costs)

I played through the game with the science costs at x4, 8, 12, 16, 20 for each age and I couldnt even get to Fusion Tanks before 2300AD, but upto and including modern age was averaging 10-20 turns, so the 2 end ages are lower to fit in better when a) you only get 15 more cities b) you dont get any better commerce improvements at that stage and c) growth is slower.

Please d/l and playtest it. Thankyou

[Maquiladora]

By teh way if we finish the game soon and dont use the full mod next time, I think we should at least use the new map.txt to prevent the tiny islands. Ive attached it just in case we do next game.

[Toni]

Great job Maq

[LStanley]

any way I can poke my nose in and watch the game?? somehow?

<--- wants in on one

who wants to playtest?



edit: oooo.... oooo... figure out how to slop me in as the barbarians... and umm... see how long I can live

[Maquiladora]

I can post the current save if you like, but apart from that, at the moment, not really

[Barley]

Mr flexible here (not), really sorry but cant play tomorrow (Thursday) as I have to go out (nothing I can put off im afraid).

I can still play Friday and Sunday, and possibly Saturday to, guess this means it will be 11.30pm on Friday when we play next.

Really sorry to let you down at the last minute.

[Maquiladora]

[EPW]

I can play 9pm gmt Friday or even earlier if you want...
