EitB XXXVIII Setup and Tech Thread

[Eclipse]

I currently have the same request sent via PM, if declined then yes.

[Kragroth]

If Eclipse denies me, my second proposal a to Evil Muffin. If he denies me then I'll take whoever will have me.

I don't mind whoever, although I thought we hadn't decided on 2 2 2 or 3 3 yet?

and someone suggested random teams

[Kragroth]

I'd really prefer teams get to choose their leaders and civs. Otherwise a severe lsck of synergy can occur likr Luchiurp and ljosalfar. The dwarves need the machining tree and the elves can't benefit from blocks or the clan and hippus. The hippus want horses but the clan can't build any.

Kredom it's me and you if you're still up for it.

my email is eclipse4449 AT gmail DOT com

Let's discuss Civs and Leaders, the first round is on you.

yea, count me in.

then its 2v2v2, or who would it be the third?

meanwhile i would like to discuss civ and leader on a a thread of the team when the section of the game is up, to discuss possible strategies. any civ ban?

[Kragroth]

No civ bans is my vote. Let's take a quick vote. Put 2v2v2 or 3v3 below

Myself: 2v2

[Qgqqqqq]

Some clarifying things. These aren't set in stone, but seem the logical route to take.

Firstly, whether it is 2v2v2 or 3v3, I believe we should do a snake pick for leaders/civs. This means, that first one team picks, then the other, and so on, in reverse turn order. I.e, if 3v3 then it would go BABABA, with A being first in turn order. If 2v2v2, then it would go CBAABC.

This route is fairer then submitting them to an individual and letting random.org decide ties - we simply don't usually take this route because in FFH leaders/civs are too intrinsically linked, but in a team game, I don't see any reason we shouldn't take this route.

That is, unless we end up deciding on duplicate civs being permissable, but we can get to that later.


I believe what Kredom was talking about was choosing partners randomly. We could do that, but I don't think it would end up well, so I'm happy to have everyone choose partners. We should wait for 3v3 or 2v2v2.

Speaking of which, I'll look at collating votes/opinions on that now, so we get a consensus.

[Aurorarcher]

I think more team makes more sense (and fun) - so I'll vote for 2v2.
