Default

Age:Multi-age
Frequency:40
Research: Std.
Mods:...Single Age, Balance & CBM 1.41 are combined in the attached BalanceGame mod. See: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43566 for notes.
Map: Parganos 8+1; See below
Banned: Hinnom, Ashdod. Bogus Orders, Lab-filling.
GoodPlayerPledge: Yes please.
Victory: A total of capitals, and or concessions equal to #capitols/2 +1.

So for example if there are 12 people, and someone captures 3 capitols, and three other players in possession of their capitols conceed in favor of the same player, game is over, the player has won.


Changes done by the Balance Mod:
1. Most path boosters are more difficult to build. Due to the limitations of editing, this means they are both more expensive (more gems) and require more paths to make.

This is to give a small boost to the nations that are naturally multipath: yomi, tc, bogarus come to mind, for example.

2. No generators. Clams, bloodstones, and fever fetishes are not forgeable. Compensation was given to the most affected nations. Except, sadly Machaka once again.

3. Old age is removed from some secondary units from weaker nations, (abysian assassins for example).

4. Some weaker nations get new national spells, units. Agartha, Yomi, Oceania.

Anyway most of the changes can be documented in the Balance mod. I am going to review the mod for changes, and to consider incorporation with CBM.

Because I wrote the mod, I will choose nation last.

5. Prior players will be given a preference, due to the learning curve.

AlgaeNymph: Bogarus

So... tempting...

ChrisP,
Roughly what time frame do you envision this game starting? I may have missed it but I'm not sure how many players you are looking for.

Hey Sans...

To tell you the truth.. I've no idea. Any of the original players that want a spot are guaranteed one, but I've no problem welcoming you to play.

All I'd ask is that you take a look at my balance thread pretty carefully so you have some idea of the changes in the game.
Some of the changes are fairly big.

In that category I would put:

Agartha, yomi are stronger and more heavily themed.
The boot strapping process is more difficult (which I quite enjoyed) as path costs for boosters were generally increased.
Gem generators were removed, although that has been fairly widely copied now.



I'm looking for a medium sized game something like 8=12 players.
