Humans versus Machines MP Game with Blake's AI Mod

This not an actual proposal yet, but the floating of an idea. I've always enjoyed playing cooperative games against AIs because of a perverse streak of mine. Reading through Sulla's Axis vs. Allies game made me think about the weakness of the AI there and wonder if Blake's new AI would put up more of a fight. So, here would be the basic settings:

Mod: Blake/Iustus's Better AI mod, whatever's stable when the game is played
Teams: 3v3 or 4v4 or 5v5, a team of humans vs. a team of AIs in multiplayer
Difficulty: high, like Monarch or Emperor
Other Settings: TBD
Theme: Suggestions entertained

Is there any interest in such a thing, or should this crazy idea return to whence it came?

I'm interested and subscribed.

Bump?

I might be interested depending on the day and time - and the connection gods.

I would love to get in on this. I guess the "betterAi" refers to blakes mod? I have that patch

I'm interested, given that I have the time.

Anyone free this weekend? Saturday? Sunday (not late obviously)? No need to play the whole thing in one session, necessarily.

Well, it looks like there is interest. However, I should note that I have no MP experience, so if I'm going to be trying to organize this, it's going to be rough. (My play will also be rough.)

I'm not available at all this weekend or Friday. I have a little time for the next couple of days, but it would most likely just involve getting the game started and postponing until next week.

Personally I am available this Thursday evening EST (GMT-5).

In my modest experience with MP, startup can take a while (although you wouldn't expect it to,) so a session just to deal with setup logitics wouldn't be wasted.

My New Year's plans got canceled due to events outside my control frown, so I'm going to be available for Civ IV over the weekend. Shall we try to get something together? I think for setting up the game, I'd prefer to use direct IP connections, simply because there's less rigamarole involved and fewer things that can go wrong. Let's hear time and ideas for settings!

Sounds good smile
