PBEM53 Settings & Discussion thread

[Azza]

If I'm green enough for you, I'll sign up.

[Dhalphir]

Would love to have you azza.

I'll pay you back for capturing the Protoss homeworld Aiur in PBEM46

[The Black Sword]

I'll sign up too.

I like the points system for leader selection, with points set by the mapmaker. Alternatively, random pairings, with top/bottom purged by lurkers also sounds good.

Do we want to start discussing options now that we have 4 players, or do you guys want to wait for a possible 5th player.

edit: My friend will not be joining us for the game - let's get the discussion around game settings and map happening

[Dhalphir]

regarding options, I like the leader/civ point system too, but I wouldn't presume to be able to accurately change the values of different civs based on a map - that would be something that Commodore and Sian should do when they make the map.

my thoughts regarding map - I like the idea of an archipelago-type map with four main continents surrounded by interconnecting islands. I dunno, I like naval maps.

[BaII]

If I were to get a naval map, I would think the map used for Pitboss 2 would be pref by me.

[Dhalphir]

it would have to be remade to suit the smaller player count, but i like the overall layout and it would be fun to recreate

[Dhalphir]

generic settings, non map related

- Spies banned
- Nukes banned
- Blockades banned
- War Elephants banned
- point system for civ picks
- Quick Speed
- Ancient
- Huts, vassals, events and barbarians off

anything else?

[Azza]

Point system or pick from randomly selected leaders with best removed, depending on what the map makers want to do. I'd prefer something more landish than an island-type map, but it wouldn't a game breaker. Also, I'd say Elephants banned except for Khmer.
