Anyone interested in a new MTW2 pbm?

Hmmm...it probably wouldn't be too difficult to mod the family members to age one year per turn like in MTW.

Actually that isn't possible unless you mod the exe file.

Drat.

Each player controlling the game for 20 turns is probably optimal. Full reigns are too exhausting and leave other players twiddling their thumbs.

In KotR, we've settled on 10 turn innings so 20 should be plenty.

I think that we need to do it with a mod that makes the years work properly, otherwise it's very difficult to pretend that you're the reigning sovereign.

id be happy to join a new one

Econ21 and FactionHeir, are you interested in joining or just stopping by to help out?
Alright, now that we have enough people for the game we can start to resolve a few neccessary issues before starting the game.

-I'm thinking hard/very hard for the difficulty, so that the AI gets the money it needs badly to keep up, but isn't quite as insanely suicidal as on vh campaign difficulty. does that sound ok with everyone?

-Is the Moors an acceptable faction for everyone?

-Anyone have a preference over when they are in line for the game (early, mid late)?

-Any house rule suggestions?

And lastly, the two issues which will have the biggest effect on who can play and gamestyle:

-Should we play 20 turns per person, or a succession game?
The former will make the turns go faster and prevent the first few players from gobbling up the map and leaving little for the others to do(a problem that could also be easily resolved via house rule or player agreement), but it could take away from the feel of running a kingdom for the full reign of a king.

How do people feel about mods, or about just modding the desc_strat folder to make each turn 1 or 1/2 a year?
