Tech thread for EITB 29

[DaveV]

ToM requires Omniscience: yes
Orthus: disabled
Illian goodies to compensate for Stasis ban: no

[Mardoc]

Well, it looks like we've got:

Brian: Averax of the Sheaim

DaveV: Furia of the Balseraphs

HidingKneel: Rhoanna of the Hippus

Tholal: Mahala of the Doviello

Ellimist: Auric of the Illians

I plan to work on the map today and tomorrow; hopefully it'll take a bit less than a month this time If no one posts an updated list of settings, I will assume plako's set is the consensus.

[HidingKneel]

Sounds like we've got a nice, peaceful builder game on our hands for a change.

[Ellimist]

Is there any objection to calling this one #15? That number seems to have been skipped.

Also, do we have a play order figured out yet?

If stasis is banned, are we doing the worker+tech compensation thing?

What happened to this guy?

I don't agree with the need to compensate any civs due to the game settings decisions.

Compensation for loss of stasis is ok by me.

I was asking because Auric was my first pick, regardless of the decision, and because of the precedent from the last time he was played.

I did oppose the "compensation" proposal for 25, but was overruled. This time, I'll abstain because I do think Auric is strong enough without a worldspell or compensation.

Well, it looks like we've got:

Brian: Averax of the Sheaim

DaveV: Furia of the Balseraphs

HidingKneel: Rhoanna of the Hippus

Tholal: Mahala of the Doviello

Ellimist: Auric of the Illians

I am curious what everyone's other two picks were within these constraints. Feel free not to share, but mine were:
1 Auric of Illian
2 Furia of Balseraph
3 [unspecified] of Elohim

PS:
HidingKneel, are you aware that Rhoanna is not an elf?

[Tholal]

Ha! It appears Furia was a popular choice. My first as a matter of fact! Mahala was second. Thessalonica the third.

My preferred playing time is 8pm-12pm CST. Email is tholal -> yahoo.com

[DaveV]

My picks:

1. Furia
2. Averax
3. Auric
4. Rhoanna
5. Flauros

Great minds think alike?

I already applied for slot #29 in the Mod Requests forum; will it cause too much confusion to go out of sequence to clean up an unused number?

Edit: I have no objection to calling this #15, but on the other hand I feel no compulsion to use all the numbers.

[HidingKneel]

Mine were

1) Rhoanna
2) Thessalonica
3) Averax

PS:
HidingKneel, are you aware that Rhoanna is not an elf?

I almost picked Thessa again, but decided it would be too ridiculous. Soon enough!

Edit: I have no objection to calling this #15, but on the other hand I feel no compulsion to use all the numbers.

Agreed. (Was the previous #15 the one with Bob's map, that got abandoned early on?)

[Ellimist]

We can go either way:




(Passwords are tracker15 and tracker29)

[Ellimist]

It's not a big deal either way. I've been in 20 and 25, and 30 hasn't happened yet, so I thought it might be something I could keep up with :P

[NobleHelium]

There is a 15...it's just rather well hidden.
