DonCorazon:

There is a good manual for it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif You should rather know what it is, not specifically use it. With Ulm it is a bit hard to do http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Oh, you didn't vote for age.

EVERYONE:

I need your votes on: Age, FFA/Teams, stats [hidden or not].

New semi-newbie game!
 

What are the turn requirements - how often will players need to get a turn in?

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

I must of course jump at the chance to resume smiting my former Urapara foes.

If I may voice my preferences:

Players - the more the merrier

Age - Late Age (gotta see Bogarus in action)

Map - World of Geometry & Alexander are both excellent choices; I recommend keeping the ratio of land:sea nations = ratio of land:sea provinces

Style - FFA...have played 1 team game, and it wasn't as much fun as Urapara

Mods - all sound pretty good

Banned spells - rather than banning utterdark & nexus, why not just ban their 2 main beneficiaries (Ermor & Rhyleyhehyh (sp?))

Other settings - boosting indy strength to ~7 makes for a more interesting early game. I'd also recommend something like 30 min turns for the 1st 10 turns (because these shouldn't take anyone more than 1min, newbie or not), and 36hr quickhost turns thereafter (so that everyone can play @ the same time each day w/out pressure, if they so choose).

Thanks for organizing Z...what's your projected start time/date?

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

count me in.

I've only played in one other game before (actually still involved in it). I'd like a shot at a second game to apply the lessons I've learned from this first one (like don't let pretender die on 2nd turn).

I vote LA or EA. MA feels too.... middlish for me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
but I'll play whatever.

edit: and I vote FFA too. Of course I'm fine either way.

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

If any overly-new newbies are reading this, I will probably start up a new-newbie game shortly. PM me if you're interested.

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

FedSlayer:

24-30 hours for about first 20-35 turns, then 48. I guess 72 after turn 100.

cleveland:

We still need to wait for WH 1.9 and CBM 1.2, so it may take 1-4 weeks till start [if it is close to 3 weeks we will start it after 3rd March as I have trip before that].

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

I would like to join but I don't feel so sure with CBM, so I'll vote no on that. My vote on age would be LA. Map: Alexander.

Dedas:

There is no voting on mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I want to take nation that will be probably weakened by CBM, but still, it should make everything more balanced.

P.S. How many games did you play? [standard question for people registered over 1 year ago http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif]

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

Ok http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Around 10 perhaps.

Re: New semi-newbie game!
 

Dedas:

10 does not qualify as semi-newbie http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif 2-5 most, not including blitzes.
