Not sure I'm the right person to throw this out there, but some green person has to! I've been lurking the forums here for over a year. Loved lurking Pitboss 44 and am still kicking myself I was too shy to sigh up for PB88. Wanted to know if there would be any interest in a standard BTS pitboss game? Thinking similar settings to Pitboss 44.
Figure with everything going on there might be some interest and maybe there are more people like me who feel intimidated by all the mod changes. Or just keep getting crushed.
1) Settings:
Fractal Pangaea with lots of lakes that looks kind of like a fritter...
Monarch level
mapsize and other settings at mapmaker's discretion. Only request is balanced starts. Rest can be natural like 44.
No villages, events, vassal states, technology trading.
Normal barbs
All scout and no war until 25
2) Bans:
AP resolutions, blockades, active espionage (espionage is enabled in settings but no spies can be built; no limits on Great Spies), nukes, War Elephants, city and unit gifting (including city transfer as a part of a peace treaty).
GLH, SoZ, Corporations.
3) Rules:
AI Diplo. No communication with other players in respect to in-game events other than offers in trade window. No use of texts, city names, unit names, numbers (specific amounts of gold) to communicate.
Otherwise, please follow etiquette rules as described in this thread: https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...p?tid=7311
4) Pick method. Point-based snakepick; no duplicate picks. Everyone is limited by five points, features are priced as follows:
4: FIN
3: EXP, CRE, India, Inca
2: SPI, IND, ORG, IMP, China.
1: PHI, Agriculture Civs
0: CHM, AGG, All other civs
-1: PRO
Picks are done blind, before seeing starting positions.
Note: I would say mapmaker can edit point values based on map if applicable. I just copied most of this from 44

In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."
