Feel free to ignore my opinion since I'm not yet sure whether I'm participating, but I also would slightly prefer not having events on and leave the game difficulty to map maker (although Monarch Toroid sounds solid). In the end everything goes though.

Pitboss 18 Organizing Thread (RB Mod 34 Civs)
|
It seems Events are not liked. Assuming that no one really drops out we definately could turn them off. Anyone else who would like to give support to them or would prefer seeing them out?
Oh, and I spam more: I enjoyed the leader/civ selection method that PB13 used. It allowed players some room to make good/bad decisions, avoid completely stupid anti-synergistic pairings and spend their next months/a year playing a civ+leader that they find interesting enough. From balance/random perspective I think that it would be ok to play completely random/random pair, but it most definitely leads to demotivating start to some players, who think they drew Boring/Dull of Blank. So maybe we could use some kind of a pick method where players have at least some influence?

Any that are rejected are just reshuffled among everyone else who wanted a different one.

In the 2nd round players who reroll get one the 14 civs. In case you are the only one who wants to change, well, then you get the same civ again. E.g CRE/AGG Inca would be a pretty lame pairing that I would hope nobody gets. And I'm sure I can't be the only one that enjoys speculating about civ/leader strenght and whether to reroll/pick something else or whatever action possible.

It's probably clear, but personally I think that it makes more sense to reshuffle leaders and civs separately so that 2nd round creates new combos. Ok, enough about this topic from me.
