PBEM 62 Organization & Tech Thread

[Commodore]

So first of all! Subforum says BtS; I have a mild preference for RtR, Dazed has a mild preference for BtS, THH and Ichabod are fine either way...Pindicator, you're our tiebreaker!

Vote early and vote often, I can change it.

Also, apparently I don't know how to create a redirect link where the setup thread originally was in the Civ General forum. If anyone knows how I'll be glad to put a pointer over there. Otherwise, maybe help your comrades find where an absent minded admin has stashed your game....

Crisis averted. It turns out that basically every other mod/admin knew how to do this.

[Gawdzak]

Feel free to PM or email me with map review requests.

Gawdzak I can review the map and offer feedback as well. Just so long as players remember to direct the inevitable map backlash at you.

Thanks, will do.

So the requests so far I got is a map like 61 but (PBEM61 spoilers)

slightly worse capitals

.

-Toroidal
-More cramped than usual
-Quick speed
-Manually change to Standard size
-Full of Resources Lakes script
-Difficulty?
-Pick method?
-See start before picking?

Obviously with balanced strategic resource/land/starts.

Let me know if there's anything else you guys would like.

[Commodore]

Thanks, Gaw,

-Difficulty?
-Pick method?
-See start before picking?

I think:
Noble BtS, Prince RtR (setting can be set after the map is done, no worry)
List of random combos BtS, anything RtR?
Yeah, probably good.

Someone with strong opinions can yell at this juncture.

[pindicator]

Sounds like you have a full set already, but is anyone interested in a teammate that just loves to post post post?

I'd go for a teammate, but I don't have time to be really collaborative. So if you want a team that is more "whoever plays first gets to do what they want" then yeah, go for it

I have a mild preference for BtS, simply because that scratch didn't get sufficiently itched in my last BtS attempt...

[TheHumanHydra]

Unless I've miscounted, sounds like we're going BtS then. In that case, the list of random combos does sound interesting. What does everyone else think?

[Commodore]

BtS it is, then.

Unless I've miscounted, sounds like we're going BtS then. In that case, the list of random combos does sound interesting. What does everyone else think?

Just for clarification, the process proposed would be:
-Lurker Volunteer rolls a random 20 leader/civ combos.
-Closest 10 combos in quality are chosen (not necessarily middle 10). Initial roller has final say in what makes the cut, but try to get lurker inputs
-List of these combos are given to the players
-Gawdzak gives us our start positions
-Players pick from the list, in reverse turn order 5,4,3,2,1

Seem like fun?

[Gawdzak]

I can roll the combos too if you want.

[pindicator]

I'm in favor of that pick method.

[Ichabod]

I'm fine with the proposed pick method.
