Squirrelloid and I are interested in admining a PBEM team game on LlamaServer with some straightforward settings.
Please do not hold intrateam discussions in the thread :). We're using a modified version of rim of darkness. Slots: Iainuki/Squirrelloid (Patala/Ulm) FrozenLama/Trumanator (Pan/Utgard) Juffos/Quitti (Marignon/Mictlan) Micah/Johnarryn (Midgard/T'ien Chi) Viccio/Statttis (C'tis/Gath) |

FrozenLama/Trumanator
what's the settings as far as nations/map? |
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Ah, another team game. It is good to see the team format being used more frequently in this sea of FFA type games. Especially one created by NvV alumni. You might consider Shahrivar, Land of Legends, possibly World of Symmetry, or a even a small random map.

Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
We're picking nations. I emended the intial post. The map is to-be-decided. (It partly depends on the number of sign-ups.) Again, suggestions welcome.
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Well i have to ask Trumanator what he wants, but i think i will take Pan
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
There's no one to place positions, and we're interested in encouraging more team games, which will be easier if there's no need for a volunteer who won't play to futz with a map. This is, I admit, a bit experimental.
Teams don't lose until both players are eliminated. A team with one player eliminated can even win the game if the remaining player is sufficiently strong :). |
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
I'm interested to play, but i'm alone :(
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Can i reserve Utgard for Trumanator, even though that Might change?
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Viccio: I'll reserve a slot, but you have to find your own teammate, sorry.
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
i find my teammate, statttis, i wait her confirmation
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Johnarryn and myself, I'm taking Midgard.
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
I'm going to wait for confirmation for viccio or statttis that they're going to play before starting. Other players who have not done so also need to select nations before we begin.
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
New official rule for the game: all teams but Micah/Johnarryn must attack them before making any hostile actions vs other teams. ;)
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Put us down for C'tis + Gath.

I'll take Tien Chi (as part of Micah's team).

Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Ok, we're thinking about using the Shepherds of Creation map. You can get an overview of the map by looking at "Fomorian War" on Llamaserver, but there's no link for download. If people like the look of the map, I'll upload it on thursday and we can move forward. Otherwise, i'm entertaining suggestions.
(its like ~155 land provinces + 8 water provinces, so it probably has a few more provinces than is ideal, but is a nice looking map and reasonably good size) |
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
its a beautiful map that's for sure, but i worry about its balance since the northwest, and southeast are clearly inferior to the other areas. but i won't make a huge deal about it, if others like it, i'm all for it
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
I'm talking about those same concerns right now on IRC, Lama. I'd like to either mod in some extra pop for some of the starts if we use the map or swap to a different one myself.
|
Re: A Simple Team Game (Signup Thread)
Karan has also been suggested. 20 sea provinces, but they're somewhat widely distributed. 162 total provinces.

Ok, some displeasure was expressed with Shepherds/Rim of Darkness because of the unequal distribution of valuable provinces. I've tweaked the map a bit - Turned some wastelands/swamps into plains/farms, tweaked province size occasionally, made some farms into swamps where rivers enter the sea (when near other high value provinces), and added some knownfeature mines to low-value areas of the map. Uploading files for perusal - if there are no objections I think we'll use this map.

A quick update of the map - fixed it so the island has #nostart (since starting there is really not ok). I've uploaded the whole thing again so you can just overwrite what you have, and this can be attached to the first post.
