New Pitboss 16 settings

I'm ded lurking Seven. Read: I offer opinions and he ignores them whenever he wants to.

Is there still room? I'm interested in hopping in as long as there's no tech trading or talking.

Wow, I suggest we should find a room for you. 13 players are OK.

If we're going to let in 13, Bigger should really be offered a chance as he expressed interest prior to TT dropping out. That said, I'm ok with 14.

Ok, a few pointers for you guys, just to check that you guys won't have huge problems with any of my ideas

1) Several continents, no one isolated.
2) Non-mirrored starts.
3) Due to 2: Balanced but I can't guarantee that one does not feel that the grass on the other pasture is greener.
3.1) Balanced meaning equal number of happy (but not necessarily the same), close approx. of one of copper, horse or iron - stone and marble completely random via random.org giving me a tile-number to put it and it be put on the nearest land-tile.
3.2) Check to have late game strategic resources available, but not necessarily next to your capital.
4) NO pre-placed improvements or similar stuff.
5) Relatively natural looking though I reserve the right that not all of the map will, if it is necessary for balance or simply makes for a more interesting (read strategic) game.
6) Circum-nav available.

That's all I can think of right now that is important.

One general point: I would advise to see your starts before picking. Else if you get screwed because you expected to get some Agri-resource or Fish and you didn't don't blame me

This is all fine with me too.

There's been discussion over this point and, in an attempt to help the mapmaker, what do we mean by "See Starts?" It can be interpreted as see all food tiles, all bonus tiles, or the entire BFC from where the Settler spawns.

Personally, I'd prefer the entire BFC, but just want to agree on something to give clarity to Serdoa. I'm also fine with leaving that choice to Serdoa, whatever is most convenient for him.

Full BFC

Agree, no more than 14 though.

I have to unsign from the game, sorry.

[SevenSpirits]

Barbs: On
Huts: Off
Events: Off
Corps: On
Vassals: Off, why are we voting on this
Difficulty: Prince if toroid, Monarch if cylinder or flat.
TT: Off
Diplomacy: AI diplo only
See starts: Yes. (By this I mean: mapmaker takes a screenshot of what we will be seeing on t0 and gives it to us, and also tells us public map info like world wrap.)
Espionage: Spies yes, GSpies yes. Active espionage missions no, infiltration action no.
Civ/Leader: Snake Pick. No Pacal, Willem, India, Inca.
Bans: war elephants, nukes, AP victory resolution, MoM, taj mahal.

Also, a couple things seem to have been dropped in the form everyone's using, so:
Game speed: normal
Start with scouts instead of warriors: yes

Thanks, Jowy!

It looks like twelve is the number of players no matter what. Sad to see you go flugauto.

How do we get our forum?

How do we get our forum?

Someone will PM T-Hawk or Brick, or one of them will wander through and find it. I'll shoot Brick an email.
