Double-Fun - pitboss game (14)

[Caledorn]

A diplo game pops up when my hands are full

Make some more time, Jowy! :D

It's not just that diplomacy takes time to do, it's the effect it has on the game with NAPs, which is why some people prefer not to play with it.

Something that wasn't readily apparent from the OP: if this two player team controlling 1 civ between them, or playing 2 civs that are on the same team?

Initially the idea was 2 civs per team. But by the looks of it, we may have too many players for that idea, at least if we want to get more experienced players on board?

Sorry, Cal - I missed that I think 2 player per civ - that is a mini-team would be much more manageable. Just regular civ game with the educational aspect of hopefully Mentor-Mente pairing plus spoilers threads to compare different approaches - and have fun reading them, of course. As you may remember, Cal, we wanted to organized such Mentor-Mente game on CFC once, but did not have enough people.

EDIT: Touched bases with Cal again and it is 1 civ per 1 team of 2 players.

Yes, it is somewhat different game with diplo on and off. Which is why some other people prefer to play with diplo on .

If we are going for 1 civ per 2 players, with full diplo, it would be a good idea to make sure that the pairs of players have 1 player who doesn't have anything against diplo.

So far nobody who signed up had any problems with diplo - actually, to the best of my knowledge they all enjoy diplo and many are currently playing civ games with diplo full on - which are very different from "diplogames", btw. Jowy actually said the diplo on would be a compelling reason for him to join, if he only had time .

I think Plako stated it best:

Diplo is something that everyone should try out and not just belive veteran players. I've played quite a few games with diplo on and it can be lot of fun. When tech trading is off, it can even be done well enough, with reasonable effort.

Tech trading is definitely off .

Confirm that I am in this.

Thanks for the invite Maga_R but I don't really have time to for Diplo by itself not to mention Diplo and a joint civ. Glad to see you already have so much interest though.

Great, thanks and welcome, CH!

Hi 1889, the idea was 2 players playing 1 civ together - which I thought would be less work than playing solo - but as we discussed, solo players are also welcome

To clarify, this is not a diplogame, just a civ game with no restrictions on diplo, like "AI diplo only" . In other words, this game would be considered "normal" at CFC .

[Caledorn]

Yeah, that's an important point to make, just as a clarification. Full diplo does not mean a diplomacy game with roleplaying. It means discussing treaties, alliances etc with other teams. I'm guessing most people already realise this, but just so it's perfectly clear I wanted to mention it.
