The Battle of the Baltics

My suggestion is following:

1. 3000 racial points
2. Ban talisman, but not religious (nature shrine is still tempting)
3. Ban Ancient race
4. Intel is on.

Also, patch 1.91 ispublished, so the storm creator question is academic (I suppose we use the newest patch). Now we need someone to set the rules on stone, create map and create the game so we can start. Also confirmation of players would be nice.

Yes, Karibu, you are correct. And you may check out this thread as there are some discussions about map and GM for our game.

I need a clarification for two things:
1. Ancient, is it Banned or not?
2. Why turns are Timed turns only and not Fully automatic?

Ancient is Banned together with talisman.
Timed turns are for the reason that in our game against USA we had some gaps between turns for a week or even more. After that the GM set timed turns and everything started to move forward.

But if all players are ready why should we wait?

Karibu · #6 March 1st, 2004, 05:11 PM

I think that the best option would be to use LPU (Last player upload), so when the Last player uploads his/her turn, the new turn is generated automatically but not before.

Also all the game settings must be listed somewhere (racial points, mods, starting resources, etc.) before we can make the empires.

Btw. one more suggestion: Scores are only visible to allied palyers. Then it is more exciting when you don't know if your opponent is stronger and it makes intel more important.
