View Full Version : Another pitboss machine...

Tomorrow or the next day I should have another (Warlords) pitboss machine ready for production (an old not-good-for-anything-else laptop having dropped into my lap).

I'm not sure quite what to do with it, it seems another 18-player pitboss game is overkill, and given the patch coming out (and possible incompatibility with existing games) I'd rather not start an epic of that sort. Suggestions?

How about a tiny 3 person MP? Not me though, I've not decided to spend the $30 on warlords yet.

How about a smaller game, since these giant games on giant maps are really gigantic? I was thinking a game with 7 players on a standard size map with 8-hour (12-hour) turn timer in the beginning for faster progress. This might be changed to 24-hour schedule after a while. And of course, a custom-made map or at least a map, checked and corrected by a mapmaker. And another of course is that only after the patch.

May be Rise of Rome? It might be playable, have not tried it much.

Though I'm certain I'd make the most ass-kicking barb AI in the history of the universe (thats 503 turns for those of you keeping count), it is a great idea - let me play as an actual two-headed civ and I'll donate the pitboss machine to the cause. I've replied in that thread.

Because I've tried PBEM, and email games just don't tug at my heart strings.

I'd be interested in joining a warlords patched game.

NM -- didn't look at the dates, this ptbs is already spoken for...

At some point I'll probably get another one going, beyond this one. [whistle]

I consider it a network administrator perk to use old unusable workstations and laptops in whatever ways I wish, assuming it never impacts on operational/production matters.
