Rise of Civilizations Part 2 [Concluded]

[seireikhaan]

Rome sits and ponders what happened to rational conversation.

*Still in Gollem mode*

It is the filthy hobbitses fault! The Hobbitses stole our precious!

*Sneaks up behind Motep and slays him, reclaiming the precious.

[seireikhaan]

On a more serious note, does anyone perhaps know where Caius has been? I don't think he's been on in a while, as a PM I sent him a few days ago hasn't yet been read. Does he perhaps have semester exams coming up?

[Orb]

PHAXO SKITELLAS SOUS!

(I will eat your skittles)

[Motep]

"Ow!" Motep groans as he awakes from his death induced slumber. "He...he took my skittles! Ah well...the bag was empty anyways..." He ataggered off to find the queen, as she always has a decent supply of the good.

As for Caius, I have no clue where he is. He might even be using his time wisely for all we know.

Same.

[Caius]

Ah guys!

Im very sorry, Im punished(the shame!the shame!)

I was able to send just 3 PMs

I am not able to continue, I just want to say sorry.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Well...

I suppose I could take up the running of the game.

Several questions for our members:
Caius - if I took over, would you still be able to play as a regular player, or not at all (meaning your cities would go away).

Also - for the general players, if I took over, would it be better for me to be the gamemaster only and not a player? That way, I wouldn't have such an advantage in knowing all the wheelings and dealings and army recruitment and movement in the map.

Were it decided I was going to take over, I would lay out the following rule changes (though I don't think we decided on them yet):
Cities get a 2 to 5% defense bonus per level (ie a defense bonus of 10 to 25% for level 5 cities, depending on what you guys want)

Castles come in three levels, each can garrison 4,000 men and defense bonuses are as follows: 25%, 35%, 45% (ie, level three castle in level four city: 45+8= 53% defensive bonus)

Combat will stay as Lucjan created it, at least for now ( I'm assuming it ran pretty well, but I haven't any experience with it).

Also, cities cannot be built closer than 50km, and the fog of war will be 150km.

Crazed Rabbit: I would hope that you would continue playing as a regular player. I trust you to not abuse your position of power. I think the changes you've layed out are pretty acceptable, though I still think we should get everyone else's opinion on it. Also, if Caius can't continue playing, we could let Motep take over his little backwater of the world,erhg, i mean Empire.*Cough*

[Motep]

Hey! the only thing I have in this game is a bag of skittles!

My Nation shall be fictional, The Kender Empire. The Capital shall be KenderMoore, which shall be in northern Corsica.

[Orb]

I'm in full agreement with CR taking over. I like the city/castle changes. I'm OK with him continuing as a player, and I also like the FOW/city limitations notion.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Well, so far I will add Motep to Corsica, perhaps replacing Caius (in the economic spreadsheet), but he will be one turn behind the rest of us.

He will, however, have 8500 gold to start with.

If the rest of you guys are okay with me running this, please send a copy of your orders you sent to Caius to me.

You don't need to send a copy if you: did nothing or only built (and did not upgrade) cities.

But I think most people upgraded cities or raised troops.

Let's see - I should only need a spreadsheet or two more to keep track of army strengths and locations.

[Motep]

My turn has been sent.

[CountArach]

I trust you CR. Just make sure you do your turn before anyone send theirs in to you.
