2v2v2, third player and mapmaker needed
Hi all,
Kingreno and I want a 3 player 2v2v2 Sid level, no AI, no barbies, no huts game where each players starts with 2 civs on 'his' own island. Linked alliences of course, and no alliences permitted between others. We need a dedicated player to make it go round? Anyone?

It looks extremely tempting. The only thing I don't understand is why the level is Sid if there is no AI, no barbs, and no huts? It can be Emperor as well?

It is possible just double the tech costs through the huge map bug? Or just manually double them in the editor?
That would make for decent production and lower corruption. Otherwise, everything would be utterly corrupt IMO.

I don't see any challenge here expect having a huge number of utterly and hopelessly corrupt cities (starting from rank 10 on standard map) with no improvements until Replaceable parts for all players.
Still, I don't understand the point of high difficulty level for no-AI MP games and would beg someone to enlighten me on the subject. If you want to slow down the research and get full load of fun from ancient age units, just double or triple the tech costs. Well, you can even make it more than 50 turns running with a single scientist in the editor. Challenge implies you have to compete with something which has a much better position whereas in all-human game it is all the same be it Regent or even Chieftain.

Maybe we like corruption.

Hapiness wise Emperor or higer is important. As I think about it Sid "may" be a bit harsh on corruption indeed. In my one SiD-pbem vs Skyfish I had a gigantic empire and corruption was IMO still acceptable. I was not commercial there.
As far as I am concerned Demi or Deity is okay. The techpace will still be very very low, as meeting the "other" civs will take quite some time.

Ppl, I am following your discussion, just post in the MM thread and I'll get you a map once you agree on the nittywitty things.
