And I think the intention was to do it blindly so it was still close to random:

This way no player knows what is already chosen until the pick has finished. Everyone has some control over who they play to remove the stuff they don't want. This is still a random generation of leaders and civs.

I think this is right. Random with insurance against a pick you consider to be more than a little below the median.

Agree with scooter - the whole point is that rerolling is risky, so it's a mitigation against a bad roll

And a reroll would be somewhat weighted toward Civs and Leaders that people didn't want in the first round, since those go back in the free pool.

Fine with the 2 veto system.
Don't want to see the start ahead of leader picks.
Barbs on
Huts on

Fine with Brick's plan on doing the map, as he suggested.

Oh, my bad. I really should think more before posting, I'm sorry. Of course you don't know which other pairings I would have gotten in case I pick the first so obviously you can't tell me. Somehow I still was with my mind in a different pick-method.

And just to make clear: I'm fine with the method outlined including the risky part and that you should only decline your first roll if you think it is too bad or if you really can't be bothered to play Rome yet again.

In case it wasn't stated clearly before scooter & i vote for the 2-reroll system

Well someone can gamble their luck that there's other good stuff out there if they want, that's a personal decision to see if it's worth it.

Numbers that have changed since that was posted.

It also seems pretty unanimous at this point to do the random leader/civ with 2 refusals system, so I'll plan on doing that.

Seeing as we are approaching the leader/civ pick stage, can we get an updated changelog of RB Mod? The thread in the general discussion is a bit too confusing for me.

[slowcheetah]

if I pass on the first round, I would like to know before making a second round decision who was picked in the first round. if all my favorites are still out there, for instance, I might be more inclined to gambled on the third pick (and if they are gone, might have to settle for a marginal one).

Please no. I like the risk/blindness of it. I think the goal of this is to get you to play whatever you are dealt, but let you avoid a civ/trait/leader that you're sick of playing.

+1

yes 3

This is the main thing we really needs votes on still before we can start up the first batch of combos to accept/reject. The other votes all have a pretty clear consensus unless something drastic changes.
