But a large team demogame isn't the one I want to play right now. Nope, its you and Gavagai - see my post above... Teams: Caledorn/Plako Agent427/TBS Dreylin/Ipecac/Ruff AdrianIer/Old Harry Elum/Mackoti Whosit/Gavagai Grimace/Wetbandit/WilliamLP I guess William didn't want to stand on Wetbandit's toes...
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57
In progress: Rimworld (October 24th, 2014, 07:50)Old Harry Wrote: I guess William didn't want to stand on Wetbandit's toes... Yeah, Wetbandit and I are both from the PB11 generation, and that game was a de-facto 3-way tie. We have basically the same amount of multiplayer experience. He offered to be a mentor over PM which was accepted. I wouldn't be able to offer much beyond turning it into a 3-player demogame. (I'd have nothing against playing with Wetbandit as a team in another game, actually, but that's not what this game is.) And Whosit, you played in PB2, lol. That's not the kind of "green" I can really help out. The kind of player I _could_ help out is one who hasn't gotten the basic principles yet: the players you see in various games who don't do sims or have micro plans and waste worker turns and don't work enough food and don't do C&D and place cities poorly. Just nuts and bolts stuff. But that's all covered in this game.
Seems like Krill has the map almost ready, I assume we're using that, though I have no idea what type of map it is!
We should firm up on the other settings: RBmod? Picking method Difficultly(maybe map size too?) Barbs? Huts and events? City trading Ban number/letter communications in trade screen I assume AI diplo, Normal speed and Don't be a Jerk.
Sorry then, I misunderstood what was going on. I thought Grimace + Wetbandit was a Green team because they were in the same list as me. And... I guess I stopped reading that post at that point. Oops. Pleasure to be working with you, Gavagai!
(Also, maybe someday, I will no longer be remembered for PB2.... )My votes for settings stuff: *Mod: RtR (I like the balance mods better for MP games) *Snake pick...? I dunno. *Difficulty: Whatever's standard for these MP games *Barbs: Yes *Huts and Events: No *City Trading: Complex issue, but I think yes~ It feels wrong to me that cities can't be given up as part of a peace treaty, or even bullied from someone with a show of force. *If we're doing AI Diplomacy, then I would like to avoid coded messages.
I'm just doing my best out here.

For the difficulty I suppose it depends on the map really, wrap ect. (I think anyway ) So maybe the mapmaker could advise when the maps done? Or is that giving away too much?
Map is essentially done. Toroidal. Impossible to get balance for 7 players without it, unless use a ring type map which has other balance issues. Suggest Monarch difficulty to go with standard map size; map dimensions are 76*28. If using RtR, huts and events are nerfed such that there are no negative events ie slave revolt, and no one can pop anything more expensive than BW.
