Countdown
 

Hosting: Llamaserver
Map: Crown (modified Riverlands) attached.

Turns: 24 hours for first 10. +8 hours every 10 thereafter. Or as proposed and accepted by a majority.
CBM: 1.6.

Liberal delays, no rollbacks. This will be a Baalz good player pledge game: you will be asked and expected to play till the end, to the best of your ability. If you drop out, you will be shamed in thread !

Should a player stale one turn in three, we will endeavor to postpone the game should a second stale seem likely. During this time we will look for a replacement player. The first player will be eligible to continue so long as he responds prior to a replacement player submitting a turn.

Please remember that there are liberal delays. Please, be courteous to your competitors, and ask in thread.


Victory Points: The victory points mechanism in game is not useable. Still I've grown rather attached to the concept of victory points. IF the game is won by accumulated victory points, it means players may be less likely to knock out players.
So, even players that are not in the running to win, may be in a position to influence the game, and will have the ability to experiment with mid/endgame spells, tactics et.


We merely institute a system where all players must self report. Failure to report means no VP earned. Either way, VP's will be reported here in the opening post. Balbarians map has 12 vp total. I therefor propose to make the VP condition 100 vps.

Using the Riverlands module I would propose to make the center island and all five water provinces victory provinces. Each province would additionally be guaranteed a site for one gem type.


Special Game Rule: No fortifying these victory points.

Chris, you want to play...I will inspect the Pretenders, and do whatever you need me to do...I would love to play but am in too amny now .

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

What a perfect approach. Unfortunately struck in too many games now already, but I believe such nation auction is a must for all games.

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

If I can play: T'ien Ch'i: 388.

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

By looking at the nation list, I presume this is an EA game. What are the rules on diplomacy? What about other settings such as site frequency? Victory conditions?

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

Is EA Game?
I used Pangea.

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

I would love to sign-up for a game.

I'll take Ermor at the starting bid of 400.

Let me know if that's right or if I need to do anything else to play the game.

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

I'll bid 355 on Hinnom.

I'm a bit surprised (based on posts elsewhere) that you rate Hinnom and Sauromatia the same.

Re: New Game - Countdown - Signups!
 

The HoF is not a good measure of nations' strength. While nations with many wins are generally stronger than nations with fewer, nation popularity does play a significant role.

Also, how would this work with the game engine? You can only get 400 design points by going dormant, so an Ermor(400 points) who wants an awake god would be restricted to Sauromatia(355)-level god power.

Yomi: 400
