Rule The World II (BTS) (full)
<s>Who'd like to join in a second game on the world map?</s>
This game is full! I already did some heavy editing of the map we're currently using. Main changes so far: tundra area in Russia changed, more grassland in Africa, lots of mountains changed in hills (including the one separating North and South America, some in the Kaukasus, and some in eastern Africa), Bering passage and 'Greenland passage' available. Biggest concern is Maya and Khmer: it's hard to give them a proper start. I think I'm forced to let the Maya start somewhere in Colombia, otherwise they're just too close to the Aztecs. And I'll have to rape reality to give Khmer a proper start. 87.08*KB [u]Players</u> 1. Matrix 2. akots 3. Beam 4. BCLG100 5. grahamiam 6. socralynnek 7. Robboo 8. Dandridge 9. Robi D 10. nitro1974 11. IanDC 12. Darkness 13. NHJ 14. killercane But I think it's best to divide the civs randomly. And that players of the current Rule The World game do not play as the same civ. Here is what I have so far. If you want to edit some yourself, please say so, so that I can upload the latest file first, otherwise we're doing twice the amount of work.

IMHO without looking at WBS:
1. You can split Rome into Spain (Portugal, France) + Germany. 2. Mongolia can be placed slightly to the west from its current location more closely to Altai. 3. It is quite possible to include Vikings. They have some room up north for 3 cities provided they are given strategic resources. 4. May be place England in Australia? This means 17 civs total.

Like we discussed list night imo we can solve the issue for the Khmer by replacing India with Persia. Australia is an option for a 14th player with either the Dutch (discovered it) or the English (colonized it). Imo this may be a better option than forcing 4 players in the Americas.
I'm also investigating to host the game on a 1GB, 1.7GHz laptop which is doing nothing else atm. Good machine but its graphics capabilities suck but afaik that isn't an issue for running a Pitboss. Also investigated the option to allow any leader for a Civ and it seems it is very well possible in BtS. Last but not least we discussed the required mods to the map in the current RtW Open Thread and there seems to be consensus on most of the following: Quote:

if your going to be having more than one euro civ you need to edit in all the resources beam took out, theres only one source of everything which means if your not germany your pretty much screwed.
