2v2v2, third player and mapmaker needed

Yep, this all makes sense. Corruption could have been tweaked in that Sid game accidentally by mapmaker through the "huge map" bug also, it could have been not the final 1.22 patch. Actually, on a standard map, corruption on Sid really hurts and really badly. But IMO, it does not make the game for dynamic or interesting or challenging without AI. I'd like to join if you can make it Emperor or Demi-God. Is free trading of cities between two civs ruled by the same player allowed?

Ok!

I think trading cities is ok. Unless someone comes up with a problem with it. Can't think of one.

Trading cities is NOT DONE IMHO!

First, if civ1 is about to be eliminated it can get a free city on the other continent, with friendly civ2, the attacking player can do nothing about it, since the gifted city is on an island with civ2 and player3, who both have everything to gain with culture flips happening . This is a rotten strategy! But even more rotten:
Player 1 has (e.g.) egypt and russia. Both doiung okay. Egypt faces Korea, Russia the Romans. Neither has a great advantage so cannot attack. Now...I gift a Egyptian city to Russia, use a Russian leader to build a palace there. I now gift a russian city to Egypt with 150 Cossacks in it. Who will, as is the rule, jump to the russian capitol, now located at the egyptian island! With an additional 150 Cossacks the Koreans are toasted by Egypt. I repeat the other way arround and Rome is gone as well...
In short. There are no "fair" ways what so ever to allow this rule. If you know one please tell me.

Cool! I never though of this. Actually, it is a nice part of the 2x2 setup? IMO, teleportation is a major exploit though, it might be better to avoid it. And Russia would need another leader to get their palace back to Moscow for their lands would be completely corrupt in this example for quite some time.

@Killer: Is it possible to make it 4 player x2 civs?

[Kingreno]

Nope only one leader needed Akots. abandoning the new Capitol will relocate it using standard rules to somewhere on your original island. But anyways. Teleporting is something for the future, not for Civ3!
So, when will we start?

[Stapel]

I think 2v2v2v2 is ok too. So Killer is welcome, imo. Beam can make the map.

The main reason I want it to be 3 players is dedication. I would to see this becoming too slow!

BTW:

Akots, where are you from and what is your MSN?

Yes, what is your MSN ?
And why do you live in Houston ?
And why are you a better player than me ?

[Lt. Killer M]

cool!

[akots]

I'm not a better player, I'm just different player.

I don't have msn because I despise Microsoft though I have to use Windows and MS Office at work and at home. We can chat at civfanatics chat room or somewhere on the mirc network or some other place which does not belong to Evil Gates. Or settle it down right here.

I'm Russian, live in Moscow in general but I work in Houston for now and will stay here probably for quite some time. Not because I like US or the city of Houston (which is one of the ugliest cities IMHO), it is just work. If something else is unclear, please be more specific.

Edited: And please note, I'm at -6 hours GMT (US Central), which complicates the chat setup.

[Stapel]

I think killer also despises Microschoft (schoft is Dutch for bastard). He uses trillian (iirc) for chat. Works fine with MSN users.

I think we should no longer wait, and set-up the game.
Akots, I think it is important you install either msn or trillian.
