New mp game

[Mart]

Setting up a multiplayer game. Not a standard one!

This one would be epic. Yitzi patch 3.4.
Settings:
4 victory conditions apart from cooperative
Other ON:
- Flexible start
- Map not visible
- Blind research
- Tech stagnation

Map size custom!
102x90 (this is elongated west-east)
other parameters average, apart from:
- intense native life
- dense cloud cover

Transcend difficulty.

factions: any (but no aliens).
Starting conditions, pretty much standard. This is to give this game a classic feel.

Also:
Emapth Guild and Cloudbase Academy in the game.
With larger map we could deal with issues cause of them. Makes more interesting diplomacy interaction. Anyway, these SP are fun to play (classic feel).

Yes, this is going to be longer (epic) game.

We could have a CMN, but if in trouble to find one, I can start a game and do settings in scenario without knowing other factions locations.
We could start then within one hour this way.

Anyone wish to join?

You should try to get binTravkin in on this.

You should try to get binTravkin in on this.

He may also join to play.

How about you? Would you like to play in this game?

[Buster's Uncle]

Naw - MP just isn't my thing.

[Kirov]

I can play or CMN, either way.

[binTravkin]

I missed this thread.

I could join.

I think we should optimally have 4 people on board, 3 as minimum.

Btw, I noticed there are several silent PBEMs like "Kirov vs somebody" etc.
Are they "one player missing" or "totally dead from all sides"?

[Buster's Uncle]

They tend to be "one player missing" (I dunno; it's possible that sometimes the players agreed one had won and didn't bother to post about it, since the players already knew.)  That's the sort of thing CMNs are for beyond the obvious; as the leaders of MP whispering in some ears when a game stalls.

I wish we had even more CMNs active, bin; somebody could take on looking into unresolved games, bin - getting in touch with Earthmichael and talking him into getting back in the saddle now that his health's recovered alone could resurrect about five games, bin...

Stuff like coaxing MPlayers gone AWOL back would do a lot for the MCave.

[Kirov]

bin, I'm here as you see for games with me included, as for others - a quick PM should answer your question. Let me know if you're interested in picking anything up, I kinda lost track of games gone dead before they even started.

[binTravkin]

Yes, I was thinking if there is one game you'd like to continue, but there is one person missing and we can still get the passwords, I could replace.
