I think you are setting yourself up for a headache.

If you want treaties to be honored then have them registered in the forum and stipulate that.

They can be regulated and if someone breaks one then the rest of the folks in the game can refuse to trade with them or gang up on them or whatever.

IF you DON'T want to make it public (secret agreements are GOOD sometimes) 6then don't be suprised or mad if you are stabbed in the back.

But to say you would like them to be honored but its a war game will pit some folks agianst each other and we will have a 13 page argument likei have seen in some other forums.

OK...I have said what I can, If you want to leave it as it stands I have no problem with it.

Just trying to clarify it because we all are new and friends (and enimies) will be made in the first few games.

I'm probably spreading myself out too thin, but I'll play as tir na n'og if you don't mind. I've got lots of sp experience but I'm still an mp noob. And I don't have a very thorough TNN strategy

Sorry rdonj it looks like the game is full

GrudgeBriner, when I say that I hope treaties will be honored, I just want to encourage good sportmanship - treaties/alliances shoudn't be completely meaningless. No complaints if they are broken though, that's part of the game.

Before I set up the game I'd like some opinions on the starting positions. I can make a version with fixed positions or just leave it as is (random). I'm fine with either, but if anybody really prefers one or the other I'd like to know.

Hey, it is. Last I checked there were only 4 people listed as signed up. That's alright, probably better for my sanity that I'm not playing 4 games simultaneously.

Does anybody know how to edit the title? I can edit the post but there doesn't seem to be an option to change the title.

I played in a game (very shortly as it turned out) called Buggy.

We had some kind of deal at the start that we had to change the name...

It was changed to Buggy1.

I am NO computer Guru, but do you think if you set up a game called Nightfall 2 and had all the setting positions set up we could join that?

I really don't recall what we did but it DID work.

Hope this gives you some idea...

I think changing the map name to Aran1 should work. The problem is I don't know how to change the title of the forum post, now that the game is full

That makes it as clear as can be expected in respect to traties, Naps, ect.

My vote would be for set strating positions.

As I said in an earlier post, I played a number of test starts and they where all over the place in relation to Provinces around the Capitol closeness to opponents ect.

But the other side is NO ONE knows where anyone is if we do it random.

I'll go with either way you guys decide
