New Opponent sought - Page 2

hmm, I like the ideas here.

I would like to let Akots make the map.

(grahamiam, I am married as well, but no kids yet, so my saturdays are mostly "free". I wonder why I end up spending so much money on my "Free" days.)

I will play the Aztec's. I really like them, but maybe I should mix it up and play as ghandi? hmm two ends of the same spectrum. I'll take a lurker poll on this subject. Most votes in 24 hours decides which race I play.

I have Tubby on MSN, so I can look him up and see if he is interested in playing a "Weekend/pitboss" game, once the new patch comes out.

I will leave all of the map details to the map creator, other than the fact that I would like to have the globe be circumnavigable.

Aztecs for Romeo and Incans for Graham. Lots of early war action!

I played over gamespy last night and the response times were quite good. Not sure what the real advantage of pitboss vs gamespy is, but my brother-in-law's game is an on-going marathon speed game and they get together 1 time per week, playing 3hrs each time. seems to work pretty well for them. They were already up to 350AD when I started so they are moving at a pretty good clip.

So, guys, what kind of map you want? MP or PBEM? What map properties?

grahamiam · 22-02-2006, 23:02

looks like we're going pbem, small, normal # of AI, monarch.

I think we'll go with normal speed as well. The rest is up to you so suprise us (though it appears that Romeo wants some water and full rotation, so no lakes, plains, inner sea, etc.) I guess would leave us with continents, pangea, or terra style (I personally don't want an arch map)

I'm Inca; Romeo will be the Aztecs or Indians (will decide tomorrow).

romeothemonk · 22-02-2006, 23:02

PBem please.

Otherwise I would leave the map properties up to the discretion of the mapmaker.

akots · 22-02-2006, 23:12

OK, as soon as Romeo chooses the civ, I'll cook it. Should not take long. But be warned, there might be not so much forest there as on a regular map script. AI won't suffer much but human might, no free 1000 hammers per city to build every improvement. I'll leave a few forests though just for health and fun.

romeothemonk · 25-02-2006, 18:33

ok,
I would like to be the aztecs then. The vote was 1-0.

When you finish, you can send to the first player. I will get my spoiler started shortly.

akots · 25-02-2006, 19:42

But you know, you can play the same civ if you want against all the same AIs? OK, never mind, I got it, should be done today late at night or tomorrow. The speed is normal I assume?

romeothemonk · 25-02-2006, 20:26

Correct, normal on the speed.

Random AI's please. Please no duplicate civs.
