FFH2PBEMXII Organizing and Tech Thread

[Brian Shanahan]

Trust me when I say that Varn of the Illians is far from being the most broken combo in Unrestricted Leaders FFH.

True that, though he is fun.

[Thoth]

Since we're voting on preferences, I'd like to be summoned before turn 100.

Thank you for your co-operation.

[Ellimist]

Since it's unrestricted leaders, will you be Varn Gosam of the Infernals?

[Amelia]

Obviously Charadon of the Infernals would be better.

[Jkaen]

Basium of the Infernals and Hyboriam of the Mercurians just to mess with everybody

Mardoc - More than happy for you to do us a map! I'll echo the other comments in that a natural balanced map would be perfect. Erring on the lush side of normal if in doubt.

Selrahc - Thank you for offering to co-ordinate our picks. With regards to banning civ's etc... I'd say that anything goes. Stasis is a bummer to play through but so is getting rushed by gobbo archers, getting the world broken, being rushed by a pack of wolves, suddenly facing an army of treants....

With regard to the Infernals and Basium - I don't think we should be picking them as our leader/civs! Firstly, I don't know how it would be done but also, what would happen once they were summoned in game? Better to just leave them alone imo.

How is everyone getting on with their top 3's? If we are allowing repeat leaders but not repeat civs then we only need decide on top 3 civ's really and then pair our leaders once the map is ready for it.

PM sent to T-Hawk for a forum for this.

[Mardoc]

The conclusions I'm hearing are a lightly edited map, normal size with extra land/low seas, and more emphasis on lightly edited. That sound about right?

So basically I'll only be aiming to make sure you have appropriate strategic resources and some early commerce available. And that starts are approximately equal. Most anything else will be up to the whim of the RNG. Which means you blame it, not me, y'hear?

In that case - I'll aim to have the map done by the weekend, since I shouldn't have much to do. No guarantees, though.

Could someone gather up the votes for me? All the details like difficulty setting/barbs/etc? And can you come up with a turn order?

[Amelia]

I hear ye Mardoc!
