Here is the thread with the current version of the game: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=7017

Instructions are not completely clear, but I think you need to click the "download here" link, then "folder actions" along the bar at the top, and "download folder" from the dropdown menu.

After that you may or may not need to download the new CIV4UnitInfos.xml file: Civ4UnitInfos.xml



Some setup/interest expressed here.

Interested players:

- Me
- Yell0w/Whosit
- Kredom
- Auroracher
- HidingKneel

Space for more if anyone wants to join

Settings:

-Erebus in the Balance V10.1
-No Tech Trading
-No bans - would be nice to test it out )
-A relatively balanced map
-Relatively standard settings with thaw-era start

Just some quick thoughts. Anyone have any paticular preferences? I don't

[Kredom]

bring it on!!!

[Lord Parkin]

As previously mentioned I unfortunately don't have the time to play in this one. However, I'd be willing to make a map for you folks if you someone hasn't already offered.

[HidingKneel]

Sure, I'm in. Except I think Volanna should be banned (Keelyn looks fine now: in fact, she sounds underpowered to me).

[Whosit]

I might ded-lurk someone rather than join myself. I don't know enough FFH/EitB that I'd want to take a go at it on my own.

[Qgqqqqq]

Love to have you on board HidingKneel.

I don't mind banning Volanna particularly, although I had hoped that the fawn change would be enough to balance her.

I'm sure we'd all be delighted to have you as a mapmaker, Parkin.

I think it did, it nerved all other not as strong elves as well, a great deal.
All in all I like the new path though, thanks a lot for putting in the work!

I can join another PBEM at the 15th of July as the earliest date.

[Qgqqqqq]

Hum. I am away from the 4th to the 24th of July (when Bob will be covering for me) but I would prefer if we could get it off the ground before then, so as not to delay it too long unnecessarily/let me have a hand in the start, so it might not be possible for us both to play....unless you are able to write out some instructions for a lurker before then?

I'd really love to hear your feedback on the mod, but I'd rather not distract this thread with it. A short reply, spoilered for irrelevance.

Whilst that is definitely true, there are two stipulations here - firstly, no other elf lives and dies off the power of the fawn, so the affect is hopefully not game changing - for most, they are more a turtling aid then an offensive unit. Secondly, the elves in general are pretty phenomenally boosted in EitB, and I have just boosted Rivanna again, so I'm not too worried if they receive a bit of a loss.

Oh and HK, if you have any thoughts on Keelyn, feel free to post them (in the appropriate space).

[Bobchillingworth]

Maybe Yell0w & Whosit could team up?

Maybe Yell0w & Whosit could team up?

Yeah sure why not, I'll dedlurk Whosit then, take a turn if needed. If thats in your interest as well, Whosit... or we do it vice versa, me as primary turn player and you dedlurk me, whichever way you prefer.
