Casual EA for busy schedules (now underway)

[Immaculate]

CasualEA


In my first ever MP game I am about to die and I decided I wanted to play another MP game and since it seems fairly easy to organize a PBEM game on Llamaserver.net, I thought I would give it a try.

Because people are busy this time of year (including me), we’ll start with a 48h/turn schedule but as the game progresses, we’ll make the turns longer. Please note that I want to make this game available to casual players who cannot commit to playing every day or even every second day, so if someone wants to put off the turn length further, they can ask for it on a case by case basis and expect to be accommodated (if you want a faster paced game please join a different game).

This game is also for newer players (I have only personally played four games and never won a single one so that would include me) but if you have played many games, you are welcome to join also. If you are vet with a near flawless win record, please go play somewhere else.

Onto the game itself:

We’ll be playing Early Age (since except for my mutliplayer game that’s all I’ve played).
We’ll play cradle of dominions (since it’s a pre-packaged map casual players should be familiar with).
We’ll play without any mods (again to help accommodate casual players who have yet to explore the mods available).
We’ll play with between 8 and 10 players (because that’s what the map suggests).
We’ll play with standard settings with the following exceptions. The hall of fame will include up to 15 entries- this is because it’s fun to get heroic abilities. Also, we’ll set the special sites to 55 instead of 45 because its fun to discover cool sites and I enjoy this part of the game (and I hope you do too).
So, there are three other decisions to make according to the Llamaserver.net walkthrough.
Victory conditions: I guess whenever there’s only one person left they are the ‘true god’.
Diplomacy policy: Your word is your honor (ie- Feel free to break your word but then also expect no one else to trust you. You are free to break your treaties.)
Which race do I want to play? I’ll take the amazon one with the poison archers- forget the name but you probably know who I mean. EDIT: SAUROMATIA- thank you grudge

[GrudgeBringer]

You mean Sauromatia

[GrudgeBringer]

I have never won anything but I DO ask a lot of questions on the Forums (hence the Captain title).

You are NOT going to use the CBM MOD? I think you might want to think about that.

If you want another player I will take a weak nation and play ARCO, If you think I a vet then I will back out with no problems.

[Immaculate]

You are welcome to play.

I want to avoid Mods (or other changes) that would scare away new players.

If EVERYONE who wants to join wants to play CBM, then we will do that... otherwise we will try to keep things simple.

[Louppatient]

I'd like to play Tir na n'Og.

I'm more used to CBM than vanilla, but I can play without it.

[Slobby]

Sign me up, I'll take ryleh, and no cbm is fine by me.

[Ossa]

I'd like to join as Ermor. Last time I tried them I got stomped:/

[Immaculate]

I like your name LoupPatient. It was my codename in paintball in my early university years.

[LDiCesare]

I'm in too. I'll pick T'ien Ch'i.

[Hoplosternum]

I would like to play if you will have me. Helheim please, I have never played them in mp.
