EitB XXXVIII Setup and Tech Thread

I'll do thaw unless people actually vote for something else. I only mentioned it to be sure that I didn't miss a setting.

I'm awaiting final confirmation from 1 team member. After that I'll submit civ and leader choices to you Bob for Team 1.

Oh and the lurker/mapmaker thread (which Bob just started) is a place where spoiled lurkers discuss the game (and the price of porcelain in Poland), but where no player or dedicated lurker is allowed to go.

And as there's been no one suggesting otherwise ever, we're definitely doing thaw.

Inland sea as standard does put teams on opposite sides. And can we have a left v right rather than top v bottom spread? It is really awkward to use a lot of the land in a top v bottom spread and limits the building of naval cities a fair bit. Certainly in bts teamers anyway. We generally reload a top v bottom game.

[Bobchillingworth]

Yes, I wasn't even considering giving you anything other than left v. right.

Cool, it was just the suggestion to roll a top v bottom tbg that worried me. I have perfect faith in your mapmaking abilities

[ReallyEvilMuffin]

I sent our teams picks to bob. I also requested the layout of the civs, well which one would be in the middle, as the top and bottom ones don't matter too much which way around they go. I felt this was more appropriate than leaving it to chance. Is everyone ok with that?

[Kragroth]

Nothing wrong with making a request. Our Team's picks have been sent.

[Bobchillingworth]

Picks have all been recieved, map about 50% complete.


I'll hold off on posting what each team chose, unless you all want the reveal now (in which case you might as well just do it yourselves).
