New pitboss!

[Mjmd]

No offense to Naufragar, but I would hope this starts before August. Besides Superdeath will be starting a new one then anyways!

[Charriu]

Superdeath, please add the following to the player list

Charriu (if its CtH)

The setting look good and I want to see CTH in action.

I'm not sure how much time I have but I'll happily dedlurk someone.

[Charriu]

I would be interested in either a base BTS game or Close To Home. Between signups and map making I imagine you'll have 2 weeks Sir Cairo.

I've just released Close to Home 1.2 and would love to give CtH its first run in a PB. To that extend I would like the following options to be set:

- No Huts
- No Events (I know I copied the fixes from RtR, but to better evaluate the balancing it would be better to leave it off for now)
- No Vasalls
- Snake pick (I'm interested to read your civ/trait evaluations and only snake pick provides enough freedom)
- Map maker should provide screenshots
- Ancient start
- Difficulty Monarch
- Speed Normal
- Barbs On

Also if everybody is fine with those settings, Superdeath could put them in the first post.

I'm in. I might be busy with RL in the fall, but hopefully will manage to play on.

About the mod, will tooltips in-game reflect the changes?

Yes, they should, but of course I could have forgotten some. Because of that I would advise everybody to give their Civ/Leader a short test run so that everything looks ok.

There's one thing I haven't done so far and that is providing new icons and 3D Models for the new UBs and UUs. If the buildings/units are good from a balance stand point I will provide actual icons and 3D Models. And yes that means that the German Riesengarde for the moment uses the old Panzer Model, which can be frighting and hilarious at the same moment.
If you would like me to provide actual icons and 3D Models, I can integrate them, but would only do that for UBs and UUs that will see actual use.

EDIT: The UBs and UUs in question are:

• America UB: NEW Immigration Station - Harbor replacement, +3 Great People Points, +1 happy from Hit Musical, Singles and Movies
  
• America UU: NEW Minuteman - Musket replacement, Starts with Guerrilla 1 and Woodsman 1.
  
• Germany UU: NEW Riesengarde - replace Grenadier, available at Chemistry, starts with Pinch
  
• Japan UB: NEW Tatara, Forge replacement - +2 XP to Melee, +10% hammer bonus with coals
  

EDIT2: I've also updated the link in my signature. It now points to the most recent version of CtH: 1.2

[superdeath]

Updated the first post. If no one objects to those settings/CtH, ill add them to the first post in a couple days.

[GeneralKilCavalry]

First off, here are some units for you Charriu:

You could get a minuteman skin from the vanilla civ 4 american revolution mod that came with the game.

Second, @all players, here's a spreadsheet to fill out

[Charriu]

Thanks for the units and the spreadsheet. But seeing as this is the first CtH game I can only urge you to play without events. It will provide more reliable data for balancing the mod.

EDIT: Also shouldn't we wait a little bit more for any more players before decide on map size

[GeneralKilCavalry]

I should've specified "size relative to player number" - do ppl want a cramped, normal, or free map.

edit - agreed on no events, but I still wanted to provide the option.

Any other settings to add?
