3 vs. 3 locked alliance
 

Tubby, RegentMan and I had a lot of fun playing against the Russian forum team. RegentMan said he'd need to lurk this game but Tubby, Wosret, Barbu and I are looking for two more people to join us in another game. We will also need a mapmaker. Beam did a great job on our last one. Thanks Beam! Any takers on a map?

I was thinking continents but with 3-5 coastal lanes for early action. Any other thoughts? We played the Russian game with AP on. Very weird to have 2 turn settler factories I must say.

As I said yesterday, I'm interested

I could make the map ;)

Sign me up if theres room.

You're in 'Cane. One more and we have a game.

On civ...Akots did a very good job balancing the civs and traits in the russian game.

Iroquois/Persians/Japanese
vs.
Celts/Chinese/Greeks

Can you think of any other combos that would be fair?

One idea is no agri or ind civs, but that takes away some fun civs to play as and some strategy tactics. Definitely no accelerated production.

I'm always willing to play civ 3

OK we have the players now what are the teams? No AP on. It was kinda weird.

We could make it interesting by drafting serpentine style with no overlapping traits for each team. (IE 1 ag, 1 ind)
Team 1 picks their civ
Team 2 picks two
Team 1 picks two
Team 2 picks their last two
and Team 1 finishes.

What's the landmass going to be like? Who's the teams?

I think standard continents with 3-5 sealanes for early potential combat.
I don't know what's fair as far as teams. Wanna hang with me Tubs even if we get our heads kicked in?
