RB Epic MP Game, Part Two

[Qwack]

Any room for 1 more?

If yes, then...

Leader: Frederick
Barbs: on

[Majromax]

Not playing, but I point out that the Deity AI gets a big advantage against barbarians; having them on will hurt you far more than the AI.

And do you really want to give 4 Deity AIs yet another expansion advantage?

[Kodii]

And do you really want to give 4 Deity AIs yet another expansion advantage?

My question would be: Why not?

[Dreylin]

1) Not too fussed; Cyrus or Elizabeth if no-one else wants...
2) <Shrug> Depends whether I'm in the front or back lines!

Either way, we should set up a better fog-busting network than last game to try and suppress them somewhat!

[cynyck]

Well, if we're not going with agressive leaders, then:

Leader: Mansa Musa

Barbs: I don't know; hell, leave 'em on. Just not raging barbs, Diety barbs are enough.

[edit: spelling]

[regoarrarr]

I think I'm going to have to pass on the game part 2. It was fun playing with you but I'm not sure I have the time to dedicate to it, so my spot can be up for grabs

[Blake]

Leader: Well I guess Tokugawa doesn't exactly have a peaceful bent nor Mao... are there any peaceful civs left? Well I think I'd prefer Asoka or Victoria.

Barbs: Off. In MP I often loses cities to barbs out of inattention (and of course the lack of "invading forces warning").

[Sullla]

Alright, time for a bump and update to this thread. Here's what everyone has posted so far:

Ruff_Hi: Qin (Financial/Industrious)
Kodii: Gandhi (Industrious/Spiritual)
Qwack: Frederick (Creative/Philosophical)
Dreylin: Cyrus (Creative/Expansionist) or Elizabeth (Financial/Philosophical)
cynyck: Mansa Musa (Financial/Spiritual)
Blake: Asoka or Victoria (by the way, Toku/Mao are perfectly acceptable if desired)

Given that no one else has laid claim to her, I plan to ride to war with Cathy once again. Aren't you all jealous? Also, given a general consensus of not caring about the barbs, let's try turning them off for this game and see how that goes. I think we may end up biting off more than we can chew here as it is, with 7 humans against 4 Deity AIs.

Approximately how long does each session last? If it goes on for too long, I may not be able to participate.

We've been running until sometime around 10-11pm EST each night, basically just going until the group decides on stopping. If you need to cut out early every now and then, we can certainly work around that. This has been a very laid back group thus far.

Some reminders and new news... Just for tomorrow, plan on meeting at 8:30pm EST instead of 8:00. I won't be able to make it until a little bit later than usual, so please note this change. I hope that we'll be able to have everyone on Teamspeak to coordinate things, so please look over that if you haven't used it before. Remember, we are not using Gamespy for this game; you will be making a direct IP connection to my computer, once the game is set up. I'll give out the number again tomorrow, but you can also jot it down here (68.33.89.25)

That should be everything, hope to see you all tomorrow night.

[Ruff_Hi]

Great - looking forward to it. An 8:30 start is good - give me time to walk the dog ... other nights he comes and complains about the total lack of attention!

[Kodii]

Tomorrow's meeting would work fine for me as well, but next week I have another change in schedule, where I will be busy from either 4:30-5:30 or 5:30-6:30 (PST). Both these times interfere with gameplay (as well as dinner ). Let me know if you think that a schedule like mine where I can play no more than one and a half to two hours at a time would work. If not, I will withdraw and join regoarrarr in cheering in spirit
