EitB v12 Mastery PBEM?

[Dreylin]

Qgqqqqq, I think at this point the rest of us are willing to go with whatever you decide for the game if you were willing to make the decisions.

I'm also coming at this with the aim of examining the current Mastery balance and determining what changes may need to be made. Every step away from a 'normal' Mastery game is one I am skeptical of.

IMO you're not going to find / fix all the potential issues in one pass, and infact I think it's likely that some more fundamental balance issues get missed if we go with the added imbalance of Infernal Mercurians. So my suggestion is that we call this "Mastery Evaluation Series, Game 1", play Compact Enforced and just get going. Then, once we've identified some obvious problems with the "base" civs and played around with fixes, then we add in the chaos of Hy/Bas and see where that throws it off again.

Certainly. But how will we know if they are right to do so or not? :P

[Qgqqqqq]

Huh, cross post.

Let's just ban them.

Okay, so I think now we're just waiting for Mardoc to get the map to a state where we can see our starts before picking, and then the snake pick can commence?

Mardoc, any progress?

[Mardoc]

Sorry for the delay, holiday took me more time than I expected.

I should be able to post starting pics in your threads tomorrow and have a map decent by the weekend.

[Qgqqqqq]

Thanks Mardoc! Hope you had a nice holiday

Make that one more day. I forgot that a BFC isn't enough for a Mastery start.

If we all have screenshots now, all we need is a snakepick order for the fun to begin...
