PB58 Tech Thread

Of course sorry. I did not intend to start a discussion here.

I don't consider you the one who started it  But thank you

I would like to play another game and was wondering if there is enough interest for one.

Settings I'd like to vote on (my votes in red):

- Balanced map / Mirrored map / Known world (map fully revealed to everyone before picks)
- No map trading / map trading
- Prince / Monarch / Emperor / Immortal / Deity (?)
- Barbarians / No Barbarians
- Cylindrical / Torodial (no change in maintenance in CtH, just a decision if there are "safe" spots or if attacks can come from everywhere)
- PB simultaneous / PB sequential / PBEM / PB simultaneous for the first 40 turns (given there are no wars) then change to sequential 

Fixed settings:

- no tech trading
- no diplomacy
- no city gifting
- no unit gifting
- ancient start
- no advanced start
- no tribal huts
- no random events
- snake pick
- normal game speed
- unrestricted leaders

Have I missed anything? If so let me know and I'll add it.

Anyone interested?

id be interested, although i wouldnt mind a difficulty increase, maybe just EMP instead, also would vote for anything but PBEM right now.

I could throw my hat in the ring as mapmaker

[Ruff_Hi]

count me in. I will review the options and get back to you. Can someone point out where the overflow discussion is at?

[Jowy]

I'm interested if: 1) It's a PB not PBEM 2) Max 9 players

Nice! Can you direct me to some maps you've made?

I've updated the first post with the new information, especially players, mapmaker and that PBEM is not going to happen (as two people rather would not use it and I think I'm the only one being more in favor of it). 

@Jowy: pindi made the map for PBEM78, which while I do believe one can leverage some criticism against, is one of the better maps I've played on RB, and one of the best if I exclude mirrored / semi-mirrored maps. We had an issue with the map-size, but that is partly on the players for not being explicit enough.

Thx, looks good

I'll vote on the other settings later and break any ties. PB and capped player count were my only hard requirements, to keep the game pace flowing.

How does sequential pitboss work? That seems to defeat the purpose of a pitboss, doesn't it? Are double moves that much of a problem?

[Charriu]

Just a heads-up, but Ramk gave me code that enables turning sequential play on and off during a running game.
