Beyond the sword, game settings anyone?

[ButcherOfNog]

All post that are interested!

Shall we try something new for a change, quick settings as usual but the start point?

[MoustachioedDictator]

I flatly refused to be left out by some trifling matter of actually possessing the game. If it starts in the next fortnight, I will have someone play my opening turns.

There are six regulars hereabouts, all of whom have it or have said they're getting it soon. I don't think more players than that is a good idea. Dictator's has been slow.

With advanced starts, an earlier starting period would not be so bad. With medieval start, games tend to be a bit formulaic, besides, we had 3 such games so far. I don't think anybody wants to return to the one settler, one warrior ancient start though?

Count me into any forthcoming endeavour. I could play MDs turn's as well while he is on leave, if hes ok with that.

I haven't looked into advanced starts in any great amount of detail, but I think we could perhaps go for a classical start with a generous amount of points, enough for a tech or two, or maybe a city or two and a couple of units.

[Rev Hellfire]

Yeah I'd be on for another game. A later start with points sounds good.
I think limiting it to 4-5 players seems to work best keeps the turns running at around 1 to 2 days for a full cycle.
If any new blood arrives I'll forfeit my position for them, we can always run another if there's enough ppl.

u can count me in as well. late start, industrial ideally imo.
available on steam (€21 :P) so im downloading now.

Hello gentlemen :)

You can count me in for a game or several now that I finally uninstalled Quake 2.

[Rev Hellfire]

OMG tis a voice from the distant past !

I'd say that makes a full house as far as a game goes, get your skates on noggie and start her up.

[Rev Hellfire]

We can hate you if it makes you feel better ;D

[MoustachioedDictator]

I hate you all. >:(

I believe I will be Freddy the German in the new game. What he lacks in facial hair, he makes up in Prussian authority. I presume we're playing with restricted leaders?

[MoustachioedDictator]

btw

Since I'm having BB play my first 10 turns or so, putting us side by side on the final roster would speed things up as he could play both at once.

[ButcherOfNog]

Anyone with preferences on races? Otherwise I'll randomise you.

[Byzantine Bureaucracy]

Put me down as the Dutch with Wilem Van Oranje please Nog!

[Rev Hellfire]

I'll actually pass on this game. Got enough games going on, plus there's sufficient numbers any more risks the game getting bogged down.

best of luck, now you'll have no easy target.
