New Broken Crescent game

[Myth]

Hi there, I was thinking of starting this game as well. I have BC 2.3 and I took a look. Ok so if nothing else this will be a totally different experince and fun, if not really that balanced. There's a ton of factions and a huge map. The starting positions vary greatly, but there is room for diplomacy.

The Romans start at -50 000 debt which strikes me as very odd and imbalanced when everyone else has between 10 and 20 k. Most factions have some elite killer units with north of 30 armour, some start with trebs, some don't. It seems interesting. The buildings are expensive, so is the upkeep of armies, which means that early on you will have to plan and choose carefully between civil development or a military campaign.

There are big factions but they start surrounded by several smaller ones who can bite chunks off their borders especially if coordinated. Overall, it's new, different and fun. Who's in?

I think you need version 2.3.2 and a hotfix. Both are available here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=520801 Oops! Too small!
Here's 2.3 which you need first. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=448564
Two main files or a torrent to choose from.

I'll claim Armenia for now.

I think recruitment zones are very restricted in 2.3. Might be worth looking into before you start.

Romans start off with debt because if they start off with normal amounts of money, generally they can just outproduce and screw over the Turks. Also it might be historical, can't remember.

I think this is true also. 1.5, 1.5!

:/ The download service is supposed to email a link, and it isn't. Maybe it will after a while, I'll check again later.
