New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
Since I want to play in one and haven't seen any starting in the last
week or two, I'd like to set up a relatively small MA CBM game. I'm looking for around 10 players. Settings will be default except Difficult research rename on. CBM 1.6 Llamaserver, of course. (Thank you, llama!) I'm open to suggestions for a map. Something around 15 provinces/player. I'd prefer not to have 1 water nation. 2+ is fine, I just don't like the idea of someone being able to take the water and turtle. This is intended to be an intermediate level game. Complete newbies would probably be out of place. If you've made it through to lategame in at least one MP, that's probably enough experience. Vets are welcome, but may not find enough challenge. I'd suggest taking a weaker nation and/or trying an experimental strategy. And if anyone has a brilliant suggestion for a game name, I'll take it. Or i'll come up with something less brilliant. Edit: I forgot Victory Conditions. 50%+1 capitals? Players: 1 - Jotunheim(thejeff) 2 - Pythium (Graeme Dice) 3 - Vanheim (Alpine Joe) 4 - Pangaea (legolasjrt) 5 - Shinuyama (Juffos) 6 - C'tis (Ossa) 7 - Man (Rytek) 8 - Marignon (Warhammer) 9 - Machaka(rmcolosimo) 10 - Agartha (Sensori) 11 - Bandar Log (Erebus) |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I'm in as pythium
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I will take Vanheim
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I Take Pangea.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
Can I have Shinuyama, please?
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I'd like to join with Ctis.
Could I propose the endgame summon mod? |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I'd be willing to try the Endgame summons mod if there are no strong objections.
I haven't played around with it much, since my SP games don't usually get that far. |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I would like to join as MAN please
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I'll take Marignon.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I'll Take Ashdod. :)
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
Recruiting for the Anti-Ashdod alliance! :D
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
hehe.. I hadn't played them in a while. Do you want me to pick someone else? Not a problem if you all do. :)
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I wants Lolgartha!
As in Agartha. :D |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (recruiting)
I'd like to join as Bandar Log. I'm not sure if I'm experienced enough, though. I've played in only one larger (10+ players) MP game. I survived until the end, but wasn't really fighting for victory after midgame.

Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Erebus: I think as you're willing to stay in and put up a fight, which it sounds like you did before, you should be fine.
rmcolosimo: I'm OK with Ashdod, though I may be joining the anti-Ashdod Alliance:) I haven't played against them in MP, (because they're often banned?) so maybe after this I'll want them out. That puts us at 11 and I said around 10, so I'm declaring recruitment closed. I heard one request to not use the endgame diversity mod and since I didn't initially advertise the game with it, I'm going to go without it. The next question is what Map? 15x11 is 165 provinces, with no need for water. Shahriver is about the right size, but I'd gladly take other suggestions. Do we want fixed starts? That'll take a bit more work to set up, unless someone has a map that already has 11 start locations. |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
How about I switch to Machakan. I like Ashdod in SP, but after reading up on them, I can see why they are easy to play.
I have played Machakan MP, and have done okay with them. So if it okay I will do the switcheroo to make sure I am not playing the gang up empire. :) |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Sounds good to me.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Shahrivar and Imperial Lakelands is two very good maps
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Shahrivar is nice.
thejeff, I might indeed lack some experience, but I'll definitely keep on fighting until the last markata runs out of poo to fling. :) |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Aw man, now we don't have numero uno on Pizza the Hut's hit list. Wow, I might be dating myself with that comment. I'm fine with Ashdod. I was just giving some grief. ;)

Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Which version of Shahrivar are we looking at. Also, how will we handle starting locations?
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
I'm not sure which one I've been looking at. I'll check on that when I get home.
IIRC, there are versions with and without special sites? I'd prefer set starting location, but I don't know of a version of Shahrivar with 11 presets and I'm not sure I'm up to the task of trying to select 11 fair locations. |

Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
I know there's a version with 10. It should be possible to cram one more in. Though if the 10 includes a water start, it'll be two more...
Maybe I'll fire off a couple of 11 player random start versions and see how bad they look. The main things to consider are number of connections and distance between capitals, right? And don't start anyone in the middle of vast wastelands, but I don't think that's much of a problem on this map. I'd be fine with another map suggestion too, if you can find one that fits us better. |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Bump...
Any news on when this will start? |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Sorry for the delay.
I keep thinking I'll have time to try to sort out start locations. I played with it a bit but didn't really get anywhere. So if no one objects too strongly to random starts, I think we should just start. We'll use Burnsaber's modification Shahrivar_SomBurn. |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
I did a no indies version with 10 starts, none of them water. There's another version with 10 and indies, but I'm not sure how the starts were done on that one.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Unfortunately we've got 11 players. I looked at your version, but didn't see a way to adjust it. Mostly I'm not clear enough on what I should be aiming for.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
Hey, thejeff.
I just fixed the Riverlands map for the countdown game. Around 200 land 20 water. Pretty good for around 12-14 players. I could also suggest balbarians arena map, which is perfectly equal and set for 12 players. (complaints on the lack of not visually pretty). I know you closed recruitment - but I thought I might volunteer to take the weakest of middle age races.. mictlan = ). |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Map? )
I'm sorry guys. Those of you who are still keeping eye on this anyway.
I apparently don't have the time to organize a game, much less play in one right now. Sorry for wasting your time. |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
Aww. :( Even though I didn't say much, I was waiting for this game to get off the ground.
Oh well, better luck next time? |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
Same here. I would imagine if someone else wanted to run the game we could get this started relatively quickly.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
We could just drop thejeff and run with the 10 start Shahrivar map...
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
I am game as well.
:) |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
was that with me or no?
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
Yet still someone would have to admin the game.
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
I'll admin the game. Let's get a roll call of who still is interested.
Also, should I start a new thread, or just keep this one as I can not change the Title and ect.. on this thread. |
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
Start a new thread, make sure I'm already listed as in! :D
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
same here
|
Re: New (as yet unnamed) MA game (Abandoned)
Here is the new game thread, Just post that you still want to play.
