Barbs off
NTT Monarch or Emp Vassals off huts off Event off - please don't put this trash into competitive games  .espionage on spies off I'm very much against early barbs in MP games. Too many times I've seen crap like "oh here you lose 2 archers to 2 attacking archers and lose the city" and that is utterly game-deciding in a game between humans. Even losing an archer in the open or losing an early scout to a lion can have a HUGE impact on how the game transpires...and for what? Lucky players to farm up heroic epic before players fill up the land? A marginal risk-return metric that encourages players to take risks where a low-odds loss can screw them? What do barbs offer to a competition? It's not like it's vs the AI where players can settle w/o defending. I wouldn't mind Trade-screen diplo only. You can still set things up and it should speed pacing a bit. I do not have a huge preference on this however.
So looks like a bog standard map set, looks like Barbs off, quick, and emperor are the consensi. Either doughnut or inner sea, with my main task ensuring nobody gets cut out of resources or shafted particularly badly land-wise.
Mind hitting up a snake pick for ease in making things? Random.org gives: slowcheeta Sian Twinkletoes Serdoa TMIT Also, all names start with either an S or T. Kinda cool, non?
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.
Hey Comm, you can put me down for Barbs off, quick speed, emperor. Doughnut preferred (simply because I played Inland Sea a few times already).
NTT, no huts or events, espionage on (I'm fine with no spies, no missions if the majority wants that, but lets not screw with culture because we turn espionage off).
Im fine with espionage on, but would like to have spies banned.
For the snake pick; I'm choosing CHINA as my civ with me first pick 
Serdoa Wrote:Just to make sure I understood correctly: We pick according to what Sian summarized about bans right? No fancy point-buy system or anything like that? Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what happening
Just a note I posted in Sian's thread because i accidently clicked on it with a trackpad, all that was in there was the mouseover picture, but this site appears to encourage honour and openess (and trusting people not to enter your thread
 ) so i thought i better apologise immediately, and let you guys know it won't happen again of course.
