Concepts of Creation: Ironhawk Suddenly Wins!

[Saarud]

This sounds like fun. I'd like to signup for Oceania.

Oh and I looked at Worthy Heroes and I like it. I would very much like to use that mod.

[Cainehill]

Sheap, you say 24 hour QH - do you have plans to switch to 48 hour at some turn number, or run 24QH the whole game? If it'll be going towards 48 hour by turn 10 or at least 20, I'd like in - 24QH I won't have the time with my jobs.

(Shinuyama, Bandar Log, Caelum Mictlan or Man for me if I'm in - just to make sure I get one )

[Sheap]

Well, you're an old hand and I'd like to have you in the game, but I don't see it going to 48 hours that soon (if ever). On a really big map I might see 48hr by, like, turn 40, but I don't intend this one to be that large, and would only switch to 48 if there's consensus that the game is taking up too much time.

[Folket]

I'm in with Atlantis. Oceania is my favorite at the moment, but since someone got there first I will be satisfied with revenge.

If you intend to make it a 24h host game, cap it at ten players and have 10 provs per player.

I would like to join as Bandar Log... Apes I mean. And I'll need to find out exactly what 'Worthy Heroes' exactly is and than decide

[Turin]

Heh I´d take Bandar Log if you can still recruit Kurgi, the slave to unreason for 0 gold and 1 res in cbc0.99 ( you can in 0.91).

Regarding the worthy heroes mod:
Does anyone know if the bug that causes macs to crash when using a mod that utilises the #clear command is fixed in the upcoming patch? If not I´d make a maccompatible version if any macusers want to play in this game with the mod.

[hako]

Heh... I was 1 minute before. If you are desperate to play this race I can pick a different.

[Turin]

No I´m not desperate, in fact I´m not even sure which nation to take. I was mostly pointing out that Bandar log is pretty broken in cbc091. Lots of normally recruitable commanders are missing and you can recruit one of the doomhorrors for free.

[Sheap]

10 provinces per player sounds about right, but I don't see a reason to cap the number of players. If things bog down in the late game we can slow the turn timer, but I really don't expect this to happen for a long time if ever. Slow timers (especially in the early game) cut down on excitement and I find you get more staling and dropouts with slow timers than with fast ones as people lose interest.

As an example, I have a 20 player game with 11 provinces per player running now on turn 35 and it's not too hard even for the largest players with 20+ provinces, in fact we would probably be doing 2 turns most days except there is always some almost-dead player or another staling.

hako: I didn't know about the problem with Bandar Log before. You should not play that nation, it's broken, I confirmed that the problems still exist in the latest version. Of course, I don't see what's so tough about Kurgi, his attack and defense are both only 0

Turin: I think CB mod uses the broken mod commands, so Mac users are pretty much out in the cold on this one, unless they can play in an emulator or something. Thanks for the offer, though

[hako]

Well... If it's broken I will think about a different than, anyway count me in.
