Any Interest in another Big Game this summer(May).

I had gobs of clams as well. Not as many as Evilhomer, but still had a ton of them, and was making several every turn.

1. Yes, it may be good to raise the cost of gem producing items by 2 paths, rather than 1.

2. As for a victory condition, I am thinking a certain number of capitals. Though capitals can be hard to take. I fought many wars and in 90 turns only had 7 capitals at game end.

I would be curious if Velusion, Atul, or EvilHomer can recall how many capitals they owned? Taking capitals rewards aggressive nations. Nations that choose to sit tight and clam and build up may be very powerful, but it may be hard to gain ground in a race for capitals.

And if there are 60 players, what would be a reasonable number of capitals to win? 15? That means someone vanquished 15 nations. That is pretty good.

3. As the game moved along, we would need llamabeast to update how many capitals each major player owned.

4. With respect to file hacking, llamabeast can always look at any suspicious file. He can also verify if someone is cheating(by using a banned exploit). Of course he would not do this as a matter of course, only if some dispute arose.

If you want capitals as a victory condition, can't you just do victory points with only capitals as victory provinces?

[Zeldor]

25% VPs only? Hmm...

[Xietor]

We will end of voting on victory condition. I am just throwing out ideas.

[Zeldor]

How many players do we already have? There are many newbies signing, is there any special rules for placing or just random?

P.S. I hope that map will have a bit more geographical barriers then EHII one

I've decided I can't resist. I'm in. Don't remember If I said so in my last post. Capital VP's sounds good. A wraparound would also be nice, especially if this is a game that would be replayed. Problem is that someone needs to redraw a generated map. I could probably do so, but I should focus on the map that will never be, so that it will be

I could probably redraw the map graphically without to much problems if someone provided a pre-generated map to start out with. But someone else would have to rework borders and stuff.

Dr. P has agreed to fine tune the mods.

Do we have a volunteer for a map?

I like velusion's map in fallacy, a continent north, a continent south, separated by water, with 2 land bridges.

If I can find the files for it I will post it. I just have the rgb files.

Has there been any progress on combining llama and Vel or lch's scripts to make a hybrid PBEM/IP server where people can use either or both methods to take their turns? I'd think that if you simply ran both scripts at once on the same machine, that'd work. This megagame would be a perfect opportunity to try out some new and experimental scripting scheme

I'd also like to try and put together a 900-province wrap-around map using a tileset. Maybe I've just been playing too much Carcasonne .

I'd be interested in this. I had fun in the Perpetuality vise grip.
