PB24 Signup Thread

[Krill]

Some people were bored and wanted a new game. So, here goes:

This game, PB24, is a reprisal of the original PB1 map (worldbuilder files can be found in this post). Because this is a replay of a map, there are certain restrictions. The map will not be identical to that played in PB1:

• Start positions may change.
  
• Positions of forests, jungles and resources will change.
  
• All resources will be available (the original map had no gold, silver or gems placed on the map).
  
• The coastline may change due to addition of some islands (the original map had a few islands on the map, which affects trade routes significantly).
  
• Start positions and resources will be stronger than on the original map, which by current RB standards would be considered "dire".
  
  In addition, there are a few more settings:
  
  
• Sign ups will be limited to 12 maximum, 10 minimum, with sign ups closed 48 hours after the tenth team signs up.
  
• RtR mod 2.0.7.4.
  
• Events off (seem to be something buggy with them).
  
• Snakepick with Unrestricted Leader and Civ.
  
• See starts before picking.
  
• Vassals off (standard).
  
• No Tech Trading (standard).
  
• Turn timer kept at 24 real world hours (48 hours for first turn, standard RB game set up).
  
• Monarch difficulty.
  
• Normal speed.
  
• AI diplomacy.
  
  Settings to be determined:
  
  
• Huts (nerfed in RtR mod)
  
• Espionage (on/off)
  
• Barbs (on/off/raging)
  
• Choose Religion
  
• City trades

2.0.7.3 ? Not the Expanded Gameplay mod?

Not the new mod just yet, that needs some polish. Most of hte changes don't do as much as you think but the changes to anarchy completely change a lot of the meta game so I'm still thinking through some of those kinks. I'm hoping to get most of it done during my annual leave in the middle of January with a PBEM started in late Jan.

How do people feel about city trades? PB18 had a no city trading rule, is that what people want or something different?

[yuris125]

Personally, I'm fine with city trading to exist, as long as the "don't be a jerk" rule is in effect

[Commodore]

I want it noted this won't be me hardcore.

Huts: On
Espionage: On
Barbs: raging
Choose religions: off
Difficulty level: Monarch

Plus events please?

[Krill]

Events seem to be bugged (and I mean truly bugged with outcomes that are not as expected), only reason I haven't put them up there. Need to go over them with a fine tooth comb.

[Grimace]

Sign me up; I've got time for another game.

Settings:

Huts: On
Espionage: off
Barbs: On (Normal)
Choose religions: don't care
Difficulty level: don't care

EDIT: City trading I have no problem with; city gifting I think should be banned (except possibly to end a war).
