Re: Shared AAR Experience (pre-thread) (we need 1-2 more committed players)
 

Okay, i think thats enough players to launch.

Anyone else have an opinion on age or map?

i'm thinking parganos, aran, or streamlands... but maybe someone has another appropriate map in mind? Shadowshore is maybe appropriate?

Hmm... for the purpose of an AAR a non-wraparound is probably better, since wraparounds can easily get confusing if you're not involved with them.

Shadow shore is great. But for fairness maybe we should have custom starts. On a non-wraparound, the starting position is much more important.

How do you do that?

Re: Shared AAR Experience (pre-thread) (finalizing the planning stages, join if you w
 

I have never done it but according to the manual:

2.5.1 #start <province nbr>
By creating at least one start location for each
player, every player will start at one of these
locations. If #start provinces are set, nations will
start at these locations unless there are more
nations than #start provinces. If there are more
nations than #start provinces, the extra nations
will start in eligible random locations.
If a province is set as a #start province but its
terrain mask includes the value 512 (nostart), the
nostart will override the #start command and no
nation will start there.
If no #start provinces are set, all provinces are
available as random starting locations unless set
nonstartable with the #nostart command or in
the map editor.

Keep in mind that some nations must start in the water or in coastal provinces witch can cause problems for these commands.

I'll ask around if anyone is willing to do this for us. I bet feinne would if we asked him.


EDIT: Does anyone have any objections to this plan?


I guess now that we've had 2 people say they want LA and one person say that they want EA, we progress with an LA game unless someone says otherwise?



Any non-default settings beyond 'renaming allowed' and 'allow 15 in HOF'? set magic site frequency up 10?

I am interested if there is room. I would prefer EA. I do have limited knowledge of cbm 1.92 (I prefer 1.5 or 1.6), but that is not a problem.

While not a great player by any stretch, I'm not a noob either.

Its not your experience that is important, its your dedication (and your ability to write up short reports complete with screenshots and opinions/analysis). Remember this is an AAR. Everything else comes second.

That said, if you are ready to commit the time and energy to this project, welcome aboard.

So now its all tied up EA vs LA. next person to say what they prefer gets to decide what we play.

Re: Shared AAR Experience (pre-thread) (finalizing the planning stages, join if you w
 

Humm, humdihum dum, bumbum...... EA

I already have 2 LA games going on right now. Hopefully they will not mature at the same time as this game.

okay- claim your nation.

Me= that nation with the androphag archers and hydras who's name i always forget.
