RTW MP Campaign - The game has begun!

[Krek]

Allright!

So the scripts are ready, and Hellenes suggested we play Medium Size for the units.

While we wait for the mod to be completed and uploaded, there remain just a few more questions before we can play.

(1)
First of all, the difficulty level. All the same to me.
Suggestion: medium/medium so the autocalc isn't too much in favor of the AI (for rebels and you attacking a human faction since the ai controls all the other factions during your turn).


(2)
Second, Myrddraal, how does the game start? I mean how does the first player go about his business. Does he (or she for that matter) simply start a new Imperial Campaign, choose the correct Unit Size (medium) and Difficulty Levels, and makes his first move?

I assume after he makes his moves he then starts the (his) script, presses endturn and at the start of the first turn of the next player (directly following his) he quicksaves and sends the savefile to the next player? (or to you perhaps and you send it to the next player?)

Or do you keep all the scripts and the player before he presses endturn quicksaves the file, sends it to you, you process the endturn and sends the new file to the following active player?

Or, even better, I wait patiently for your explanation when all of us are listening?

Have we decided yet how to :

a- Handle diplomacy (trade rights, map info etc.)
Probable solution: This Forum?

b- Make sure everyone uses autocalc all the time?
Since one can recieve a savefile while he/she is at work, it may take some time before he can process his move and sends it to the next player. When he is at war with another human faction, and wins a battle without too many losses, he can be accused of having played the battle manually a couple of times and not using autocalc (the reason why it took so many hours before he send in his savegame).

Probable solution: All in good faith I guess. I propose we all behave honourably and we all treat eachother likesuch thus with respect. So even though there is no one who can check whether one really plays fair or not, we all abide by the codes of honour.

c- How to make sure no one uses any debugging tricks (cheats).
Meaning adding / deleting units or buildings, not showing the map (fog of war ON), etc.

Probable solution: Same as above.
We all abide by the codes of honour.
