Gameplans/tacitcs will be posted here. Still waiting on some people to pick their civs.

This is my first EitB game ever (and also first PBEM). We'll see if I can keep up with this when there's a lot more experienced MP players around instead of AI

Hey whosit, we need to think about picks, since I'm not really sure what the settings are I'll wait for a confirmation.

Since it will probably be huts on lairs on and raging barbs I'm leaning towards the Clan, I've never played them, so it should be interesting.

Are there any civs you really want to play?

I'd love to see active Espionage make its way back into Multiplayer Civ4. The single player community has found some crazy and creative niche uses for it, and I always feel disappointed that Multiplayer doesn't have any similar mechanic for making "big plays." Now obviously, the missions as implemented in BTS are ridiculously imbalanced, but I wonder if fixing some of the more egregious exploits and increasing the cost of the missions would make them viable again? What do you think?

For example, some suggestions:

• Capping the spread culture mission per-city to the total amount that a great artist would give.
  
• Completely remove religion-based discounts on spy missions.
  
• Prevent players from viewing other players collected EPs, and let demographics be viewable with a fixed number of EPs equal to the current age the target civ is in. (e.g. 20/40/80/160/320)
  
• The "change civic" and "change state religion" missions would have greatly increased cost, take a couple turns to complete the switch (like how an Inquisitor works in FFH2), and not induce Anarchy when the switch occurred.
  
• "Sabotage Production" would work like an anti-whip; the current build loses 30 hammers and the city gains an unhappy face.
  
• Remove the destroy infrastructure and building missions.
  
• Any civ has complete active-mission immunity when in a golden-age.
  
• Rebalance EP generation from various EP-generating buildings.
  

Spoilers if I ever report.

Edit: For those viewing this later, the lack of images is because dropbox changed their functionality. This is a common problem across the fora.

So the story is this: I worked out on paper, how it is possible to go 4-5-6 sattelites for a total coverage at the end of may in impossible difficulty. I want to test it, so I tought: why not in an SG? I`d do the base management, you guys cvoudl do the tactical missions.
Anyone any interest?

Quote:Starting techs:

All starting techs now cost base 50 except:
