Another Newbie Slugfest - Restarted

[Oversway]

I may be able to host PBEM, if that would be acceptable. It would be my first hosting, though, so there would be a learning curve for me.

[Aku]

May I suggest a crazy idea.

Indies 9
Magic Frequency 75
World Rich
Map Faerun(would need to get 17 players)
Research Very Difficult
Events Rare

This would allow for all playstyles whether it be hoarding, rushing, or balance between the two.

I think it would be a cool idea.

So, the players so far:

1. Jotunheim = Dragonfire11, the Arizona Lawyer Extraordinaire
2. Ulm = Old Yeller Cactus
3. Mictlan = Aku, God of Numerology
4. Pan = Boron, He Who First Killed the Great Spider Lord
5. Machaka = Pashadawg, The GREAT Spider Lord (and Maine Lawyer Extraordinaire )
6. Marignon = Steerpike, Australian Wunderkind Thespian
7. Man = Warhawk <---- Enigma to be disclosed
8. Vanhiem = Curious Cat, Meow-Meow-Meow
9. C'Tis = Oversway <---- Hosting Enigma to be disclosed
10. T'ien Chi = The Panther, He Who Spawned The Tauren
11. ???? = Saber-Cherry-Pop, he who slays squeaky white mice

I am easy on the other terms of the game. I have wanted to play on the Faerun map, but its VERY LARGE. Some sort of victory condition (e.g, % of map or victory points) could be appropriate (but I know that Aku and Boron are not fans of such things).

[Boron]

If we play Faerun i take Atlantis .

I would like to play Faerun with Akus settings and Zens Pretender Mod .
Never played such a game so far it would be definitely interesting .

So if we play Faerun i take Atlantis , otherwise i keep Pangenea .

[The Panther]

If we play Faerun, I am out. That map is far too big to be enjoyable. My turns (I am Atlantis in that game) on Faerun are very tedious and I am only in second place in most stats in my game. I am really hoping we can declare C'tis the winner soon and end the micro management.

I don't think anybody really understands what Faerun on rich would be like. My game setting is normal and I already have about 8K gold income with nearly 300 mixed gems per turn. It is turn 81 right now. This is with clams and fever fetishes and blood stones so heavily nerfed that I have a whopping total of 16 clams and 0 fetishes.

Perhaps if one were to set a victory condition of 80 provinces, Faerun would be tolerable. Or maybe 15 out of 50 VPs. Such victory conditions would force early wars and prevent the game from lasting the better part of a year.

[Oversway]

It seems that a really large map doesn't work for a 'slugfest' . Perhaps something smaller? But not inland, I'm tired of that map

If I'm hosting, then I will definitely use Zen's pretender, spell, and scale mods.

How many people want Saber Cherry's unit rebalance mod? I'll use it if enough people ask for it, but I'd rather wait to let them iron out the kinks.

Here are my thoughts on settings but I don't care that much. If people scream for a rich world or what not, thats fine.

Indies 9
Research: Difficult or Very Difficult
HoF 15
% provinces or capitols as victory condition

Everything else default.

This would be a somewhat casual game - 48 deadline for sure.

I'll start setting up some email accounts

[YellowCactus]

I'll play with any settings or map. However, since now is the time for debate. A wrapping map would be prefered over non-wrapping.
