Maintenance costs are quite a pain on higher difficulty toroidal maps.

Higher maintenance costs on toroidal. With that said, Prince and Quick.
About Ivory, i'm in favor of leaving it in, but no WEs.

Sent the following PM to Grisela and King of Pain. We need one on the other game so i figured i'd mention yours also since i hadn't seen anyone say they had requested a subforum yet.

Looks like the civ part of the community is once more taking off on at least 2 more new games!

If someone wouldn't mind, would you please be so kind as to create a 'PBEM11' and 'PBEM12' sub-forum? It is possible that 'PBEM13' would be required but i'll let you know in that case.

Many thanks,

Kyan

Also, any late-comers that are looking to play a game but missed out on this one, hop over to the PBEM12 thread as we may be able to help out!

Fine I'm in with you, hopefully I won't be a complete idiot. But any quesitons I can answer will be answered and any help i can give will be given.

See you when the thread opens up.

Quick/Prince

I see no reason to remove Ivory since we've already disallowed the building of war elephants.

I'm only lurking, but I'd like to reinforce this point. Having played in PB3 I can tell you that toroidal with a high level is a royal pain in the ass, and that was with tech trading on. Unless you've played on it before, you don't quite realize how ridiculous maintenance costs get when you combine toroidal and a high level.

I've played single player, does that count? wink

Prince will be fine with me, tbh I had neglected to think about maintenance in relation to the world wrap when I voted, so I'm happy with prince.

No one said they had a mac, so this should work. Does anyone want to volunteer to do this? Maybe Ruff hi?
