Silvan
Game Type: Llamaserver (
DO NOT PASSWORD YOUR PRETENDERS!)
Speed: 24 hours quickhost for the first 20 or so turns moving to 48 hours per host after that (or when 3 players request it).
Era: Middle
Map: Modified Lonely Mermaid (attached here), with 99 land and 14 sea provinces, and fixed starting locations.
Players: 7 land, 1 sea.
Nation Selection: First come, first served (post here in the thread). We will be starting after the upcoming patch, so feel free to choose one of the new nations if you wish.
Victory Conditions: To the death! Or surrender of all players. (This is feasible on a map with <120 provinces.)
Research: Hard
Hall of Fame: 15
Renaming: On
Graphs: Off
Everything Else: Defaults
Mods: Conceptual Balance v1.21 Pretenders and Scales ONLY (second post in the linked thread, "segmented download"), plus
Worthy Heroes v1.8. (Unless the new patch breaks any of these mods and they are not fixed in time, in which case we will play without them.)
I had to create the .map file for this from scratch, so there may be some mistakes, although I was as thorough as possible. If you notice anything before the game starts, let me know and I can correct it.
Random starting positions are terrible for MP games. I have set up 8 specific, random starting locations, 7 land + 1 sea. The starting positions are 8 (sea), 10, 24, 30, 50, 77, 84, and 97. Each starting land province was selected with the following conditions: all have 4 or 5 neighbours; all are 4 or 5 provinces away from other starting provinces; and all (except one) have at least one farm neighbour and one forest/border/mountain neighbour. The starting sea location has 3 neighbours (all are sea), and is 3 provinces away from 3 starting land provinces.
There will only be 8 of us, and we are heading into vacation season, so expect small delays to accomodate player absences. I am willing to turn off the timer (keeping Quickhost on) for up to one week at a time for vacations, if I'm notified in advance. If you stale twice in a row without notice, then you will be replaced/turned to AI. Hopefully there won't be too many interruptions. One reason I am doing this is that I have a one-week vacation coming up at the end of June. ; )
Now let's have some fun!
