PB54 tech and organizing

[Charriu]

I thought so.

I've wanted to give you guys a rough estimate of when the next version will drop, but first the changes you requested:

- No score increases: DONE, will be a game option called: 'No scores'
- No cities show in the diplo screen: Already DONE, use the game option 'No city trading'
- City counter unlockes with graphs: Still open, but should be easy to do.

Now on to the question of when the next version drops. Before I assemble a new version I would like to get a look at the other players threads in PB52 so that I can incorporate any kind of feedback from there. As soon as I am allowed to skim through them I should be able to prepare a new version in 1 or 2 weeks, depending on how many changes will require coding.

Great news Charriu, now sign up for the game

Playing a PB is very demanding for me and I can only manage 1 PB at the time. Give me at least a little break after PB52.

Note that this is not a no, but rather a not now.

Count me in
Love me some noscore. (because if I'm too lazy to track score changes, nobody else deserves that information either!)

and thanks for the PM, I wasn't looknig at new games

[Miguelito]

Welcome Elkad, great to have you! (btw currently I'm travelling and not really maintaining here)

Did you guys have a map req?

Did you guys have a map req?

I was hoping we'd get some sign-ups from the recently available PB49 folks before getting down to settings, but just in case, how about:

1) Randomly rolled maps of whatever script the map maker thinks best.
2) Balance pass for land form (nobody getting their own continent, e.g.).
3) Fussing with resources as map maker sees fit.
4) Balanced capitals.
5) Players promise to love and cherish the map, while reserving the right to complain in thread.

And I'd like to see the BFC before the pick phase, but pick method is a separate discussion.

Original post stated that it would be rather tight. I'm not sure what lvl of tightness, but could certainly do a tile per player type vote once we have a player list. Maybe with some recent maps for comparison. Having played on two larger maps, I am kind of feeling something smaller.

Count me in. Home = work = home so I have to have something to do apart from work, sleep and eat.

One warning ... the last no-score game I remember had a divide by zero but if you opened the score chart ... so make sure that doesn't happen.
