Well I'm finally back, and I'm ready to start our AAR, but first we need to chose a faction some mods(if any) and some house rules.
I'm not going to make this a poll because I need an absolute list of who’s playing so please post a faction and any mod you want to have in this AAR and I will tally them on Tuesday.
That being said mods that require BI need a 2/3's majority to be used because it limits other players
Edit; Forgot my votes.
Romans
1st cohort mod and Sheep's money script.
City mod (It has the first cohorts mod as a base, plus it keeps the cities to a reasonable level!) sheep's sounds good, but personally i use the errants, it seems to work a bit better for me with the treasury cap, just so they dont get too rich and powerful.)
Carthage (just throwing it in there, i dont mind either carthage or Romani)
houserules: no cheats (of course.) no fog of war, retraining legions every 16 years enless in times of emergency (number may be off), autocalc armies without generals, stick to the historical army compositions of the times.
Carthage.
Play with BI, this means that when players who have BI are running the game the entire game benifits from the improved strat-AI, but if a non BI player gets elected to host the game, no save problems will be encountered.
I also propose the use of the improved edu that mAIOR and I are in the procces of developing, and that will be done the time this starts.
Roman or Carthage I dont care, I love both...
I dont know where's my BI cds, so I'll be playing with RTW 1.5.....
oh and i fully endorse BI used for this, but as Pharnakes says it may be savegame compatible... so it may not really matter.
offtopic: Pharnakes do you have a thread for the EDU? if so, can i get a link? if not what is going to be new/changed? thanks in advance.
I would like to jump in, did not have the time to decide that until now. I'm voting for Carthaginians. Of course historical setting, but I think Carthage is pretty flexible. I would suggest using Thorrloff's Reign of Ares, As it has a lot of gadget's and nice skins for Carthaginains.
Btw, when would I have to be available? Because I have time from maximal 2 o' clock to 8 o' clock.
I expect we can reserve a character for you.:2thumbsup:
In which case I suppose you ought to have a say in the faction that is chosen, so who do you want the Arche?
I definetly want to play this game and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a way to run FRAPS on my vista.
Anyways
i vote for Carthage as it opens new possibilities that havent been explored before. Sheeps money script, city mod if it runs on 1.5
House rules: same as MastaSpoofa laid out
Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say:help: I voted for the carthaginians to be played in this project, because they have a quite cool rivalry between barcids and anti-barcids. Arche could be a possibility, as the satraps hold quite a bit of power, the player who is the king mainly playing a directive, not really a directly ruling rule. But I don't think that we should use Arche Seleukeia for this project, but perhaps I could make a project when this is finished...Quote:

So Carthage & the city Mod are definite. I want to make sure the BI - 1.5 games are compatible before I allow it. And once we get all this taken care of I'll start a house rules discussion thread.
oh, and i suggest playing on huge size.
If possible I agree.
I don't see a problem, most Eb compters should be able to handle huge size.
I never tried it ony my computer but im pretty sure it would work .
I , now that i read pharnakes's old house rules, think that large would be better. That way any players that have less optimale computers can participate as well.
Well my line of thought was that computers that couldn't handle huge settings wouldn't be able to handle EB.Quote:

Ps I'll be starting a another thread tomorrow morning I haven't played carthage since .7x so I want to get a feel for them
Ill experiment tm but its past my computer's "recomended settings"
This certainly sounds like fun :yes:
Mind if I join you guys?
Carthage is a nice choice, a fresh wind as I always play Romans :2thumbsup:
The huge settings isn't a problem too
I jusr experimented with my computer and Huge settings works just fine:2thumbsup:
Arrg! I'm going to have to go away again soon (family emergency) so could one of you guys take charge for awhile. Thanks.
I will if you want, ATM I don't realy see what needs doing though, it seems that we have agreed on Qarthadastim, or do you want a poll run to confirm this?
And we're hardly going to start untill you get back, so...?
Go for it man!Quote:

You can count me in now. All school work is done, and now the relaxing end-time of school begins:2thumbsup:
Is this thing still on?
Seems like dead to me.
