Hart Wrote:antisocialmunky: I've never really read the term CTON before, and I'm finding conflicting definitions, so I'd like to know what exactly you mean. Our rules for diplo are generally as follows (can vary from game to game): No OOG contact until you meet in-game. After that, talk away over whatever channels you prefer. No real limitations on war, or teaming up. Thus far, this hasn't been a problem.
There's two ways to run CTON.
1) CTON AW: The players are never allowed to communicate OOG or IG, and they're always at war with one another. We've run some games like that; PBEM4 - Vets was incredibly passive because the lack of communication (and no demographics, which was another problem) prevented teams from coordinating attacks, so everyone played defense.
2) CTON - AI Communication only. Basically, you cannot send ANY messages, but you can offer deals without any verbal negotiation. I.e., I can send you a proposal for Open Borders, but we can't discuss how long that would last, if it would allow units in as well as trade routes, etc. etc. It's one way to allow for cooperation without forcing players to devote large swathes of their time to diplomatic communication.

Uh, wouldn't be a turnplayer, so I guess it's not my boat, but shouldn't someone claim Pacal of Inca for the RB team if we do send a representative?

You should probably see whether there's tech trading first.

With Tech Trading, I think Sury of Inca would be stronger, or Joao of X: Fin is great and all, but if Tech Trading turns into 2 cabals, one's personal tech rate barely matters.

It really depends on who RB would be playing. Just look at Poly, even with tech trading on, it was kinda sad.

Thanks, but to answer this and your comment lower in the thread I'm not interested in using a mod-mod, so the modified base FFH file would be great.

I'll have to talk to our coder friend to see about compiling new .dll's for an unmodified FFH2. But if you're willing to use the (rather good) Tholal's More Naval AI fixpack, then we have an updated .dll set available here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Redditpitboss/co...s_weekend/

OK folks, just letting anyone know that if they're interested in testing our mettle or meeting some of the people in the Reddit community, we're planning some test games this weekend, to make sure that players can connect to the server. There were also a few issues in the last FFH2 game with using simulturns war rules and the Sun II spell, Blinding Light (an immobilizer - you can imagine how that might be a problem regarding who plays first), so we're exploring options to keep things fair and balanced.
If you'd like to join in the fun, come chat with us in #reddit-civ on irc.freenode.org, using either your preferred IRC client or just using this webchat here. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23reddit-civ
