Default Balance: Upload Pretenders

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.


Map Discussion:

Due to the presence of LA-Atlantis, I wanted a map with around 15 provinces per player and fairly uniformly distributed water. I believe Parganos 8+1 fits that description.

My second choices were Pangaea and Primea Semi Rand (just for the interesting randoms). Absent objection I will open the game for pretenders later today.



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.
(Which the most recent update to the mod will be attached to this thread tomorrow).

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

I am so game, since my first turn to sub in Nox was to see everyone lose.

How about LA PANGAEA. That should be a good one to try.

It isn't a question of where the latest CBM is - I prefer 1.41.
It has higher seduction values, I prefer evening star v1.41.

Prison of Fire seems to have gotten stronger in 1.5... Although I do like the pretender changes in 1.5, and may incorporate those.

We'll give it a two more days for signups, and then start with however many we have.
With 6, we can use the RingwormAtlantis Map- does anyone have map preferences?

Bogus has an order that allows him to target commanders. That order can be copied and pasted to other units. Not allowed

Also, suppose someone has artifacts. You know who. you fill up his lab with laurel helmets to stop him from making the forbidden light.
