So, moving forward...

Well, I have run into some time constraints which were not anticipated and I dont think will ease up as my break goes on. The resumption of classes after break will not ease these constraints. As such, I do not believe that I will be able to finish the map in a timely manor. So at this time, I will have to excuse myself of mapmaking duties. I'm sorry for any delays that this has caused.

Thanks for the heads-up, Snip. We'll cast about for a Plan B.

Hey all. I see there have been some changes recently. Looks very interesting and I would love to participate, but unfortunately real life is taking up too much time. I'll stick around and see what you guys come up with. Good luck.

You're always welcome, Foxy.

So, folks - anybody feel like giving the map a crack?

Desertfox · December 21, 2011, 05:36:44 PM

After reading a bit more a couple random thoughts.

I like the city based idea. It would allow new players to be easily integrated into an already running game. They get a city to get their feet wet and test the waters, then if doing a good job they could get bonuses to bring them up to closer to established player size.

And just for flavor, I would suggest having everyone start a nationstates account, run it in accelerated mode for a couple weeks, then post their nation's description. The nation descriptions can get quite funny. I always got Corporate Police State for some reason...

not nationstates. Not never.

If anyone does, and has Civ IV, I would be more then happy to pass on the map that I built if it is desired

I'm gonna see what I can do, Snip.
Gotta get my hands on a copy of CivIV first.

I could try (tomorrow), but how would I do that? Civ4 does not have a map editor, has it? Is there a cheat to uncover the map?

The file is currently in the worldbuilder format for Civ IV Beyond the Sword, so if you dont have that, I will need to convert it. That could prove interesting.

If it is part of Civ4 complete, then I should have it. Beyond the Sword definitely is.

Anyone have Campaign Cartographer III or like RPG world building aid?

Got Civ IV up and running now. Will play around with the map soon and see what I can do.
Working on a couple of other projects and drinking a lot for NYE, so things aren't as fast as I'd like.

Darman · January 01, 2012, 09:33:08 PM

I'm ready.
I'm just waiting for word on how much money we have to play around with.

Holidays are over so I'll try and bring my attention to bear once again...
