I do not see - were we ever told about difficulty level?

I vote for usual rules about AP - buildable but with no votes.

Monarch?

[Tasunke]

Hey Yea prince or monarch

I'm leaning towards prince but I'm not married to it. Barbarians will regardless have a presence so don't worry about them being too weak on prince or anything.

[chumchu]

I encourage monarch in that case.

[Gavagai]

I would also prefer Monarch. Prince would make expansion too cheap.

[Tasunke]

While the holy cities don't start with shrines, I would ask permission to introduce a small xml mod which only affects barbarians and the initial 4 holy cities.

I was leaning towards prince to help with research (and expansion I suppose), but if y'all insist on rolling it back to monarch I'll be more than happy to oblige, but would still request permission for my map specific "mod"

Cheers

You should be able to just place the holy cities and shrines in the worldbuilder.

Monarch sounds fine for me.


Tasunke, will we see our starting screenshots before our picks are due? It'd be nice to know one way or the other.

[Tasunke]

Starting screens after picks are finalized

Mod y/n?

Or is consensus that pre placed shrines are preferable?

(I'm of the opinion that players being able to invest in setting up a shrine after capture is preferable, but am fine with other incentives)

[Tasunke]

Ok guys so here is the mod I have in mind, first this would include me not actually placing the shrines in the holy cities bc again I'd prefer the investment etc all.

What the mod would do (in as vague terms as possible) would be to give barbarians diety level spawn and build rates (unit wise), as well as place a unique and "original" perk wonder in each pre placed holy city. So that ppl aren't just invading barbaria Lund for investment purposes, but actually have an incentive to conquer (plus it's fun)

Anyways plz vote on it bc u can either choose do download the xml or not when time comes down for it

Shrines by defaul - Yes!

Mod - if unavoidable

+ plus I'd say give 2 different missionaries per player, so all the religions will be fairly represented.
