I kind of agree on the provs/player being high. For me a "high" provs per player is 15. 20 is on the extreme side. With that and double speed research and first dibs on nations, it seems the vets hold all the cards this time. Of course, that might be the point, I dunno. Oh and if I get to call a nation, I'd like Caelum, pending a team discussion of course.

It is high and worth discussing. However keep in mind that this game will effectively be a duel. So its not impossible that some indy provs will just get overlooked. Happened even in the last game with a smaller map and way less provs/player just because the fighting was so intense.

so rumor has it the noob team has a top secret forum for discussing top secret plans?

if this is true i'd like to get into it, asap...

i figure if QM or maybe ironhawk or whomever will authorize me joining the noob team that would serve? or he can invite me to play on his team instead, or he can suggest i don't play the game at all... i'd understand any of the options ... but whichever one it is i'd like to join the top secret wiki/forum for that particular team ... an open wiki might be best because it can allow for good organization of information AND theres also sections for discussions included? ...maybe i'm rambling, eh?

All the discussion from the last game was "archived", and there's a hidden forum on there that only people in a user group can see, currently there's nothing in it though. It will be used again to organize the game unless people decide to do things differently.

I haven't actually joined so I guess I don't really have a vote, but I'm ok with namad on the noob team.

namad · #46 March 18th, 2009, 11:53 PM

don't worry QM i'll sign up on your behalf!

uhm guys... the entire forum is public... if your gonna discuss top secret stuff you should make the forum unreadable except to registered members and you should have a moderator only accept registrations from the team members....

wanna look into a wiki?

Lavaere · #47 March 19th, 2009, 12:21 AM

thats because its been archived so anyone can see it. of course once the new game starts, only those in the group will see whats happening.

wonder if rdonj, will allow a vet forumgroup. that way when a game finishes both sides will have an archive of what they did.

also can't wait until a couple more games down the line. I might be good enough to be on the vets side facing the Noobish Horde

Lingchih · #48 March 19th, 2009, 12:33 AM

Yeah, a vet forum group would be most helpful. I guess I could set one up, or maybe rdonj could do it for me? Would be much better than the occasional email we sent each other last game.

That is, if we ever get any vets to sign up. They're not exactly breaking down the doors to get into this one.

Oh, and namad, I've played with you. I don't consider you a noob. I'm not vetoing you, but if you play on the noob team, I would consider you a ringer.

no, i'll vouch for his nub status

ok, him and ossa are probably 1.5 nubs... should be x vets vs 2x-1 nubs

Let me address the issue of prov/player ratio.

20 prov/player is not bad, me and Lingchi are in a game where there's 60+ provinces per player, in a FFA game, 4 players on a large map,so this shouldn't be a major concern. As this is a team game, you can certainly coordinate with your team members if you wish to take on a more or less provinces, or play a supporting role, or whatever you like. This is certainly not micromanagment hell.

With regard to map choice:

I have purposely limited map selection to only those maps included in the Dom3 distro to keep it simple for noobs. Orania (200+) , and the orginal Glory (400+) are the only maps large enough.

Lingchih, the vets should definately have a forum, get with rdonj, if you need assistance in setting it up. Forumnation, is a good choice. PM or post the website address and I'll stick it to the main page.

Let me reiterate, I want only green noobs on the noob team. Namad, perhaps your more qualified for the vet team, or at least as a standby, but if the vets don't veto you your fine on the noob team if there are no more really green noobs signed up.

QM and Ironhawk, lets have a decision soon, so I can get these teams organized properly and this game underway.

Easy research appears to be 20 for level 1 as opposed to 40 in normal, so that is effectively twice as easy, that is fine for our purposes.
