I'm not sure I could do any better of a write up than cgalik.  Early game I made a miscalculation and didn't explore to my West to take a nice island that eventually ended up in panch93's hands. With so little land to work, I was not able to build a large empire. Then when I learned that xandr was my neighbor I went full defense mode and decided that my contribution to our team would be to go for naval units. I think this strategy worked pretty good for a lot of the game. I was effectively the east india transport company for our team for a bit since I pushed to navigation first. It definitely allowed us to attack ste - to his surprise I'm sure - that little ol' Scotland was pounding his beaches half way around the world with Frigates.  That what the best part of the game for me.

As cgalik stated, eventually my number was called and xandr and ghamath pulled off a brilliant siege of Scotland and when I lost my capital I was pretty much finished.  I started killing off my cities on the island and using the resources to beef up my few cities on my small second island.

All in all I am super glad to have played this team game and enjoyed it immensely, even though we didn't win. Thanks to cgalik for being a great team captain. Thanks to louis94 for stepping in and lastly to weider_fi for providing admin support.

Congrats to kevin551 and his team for the win.

I agree, good for learning post game as well as something to add to the website for some flash/bling.

Maybe a new tech - Advanced Mining or Uranium Mining is needed and that gives you the Uranium Processing Facility. Could also have to have a Spent Uranium Storage Facility before you can build them. Can also get a Nuclear Power Plant to go along with it.

Also don't forget that this ruleset has bombarder flag set for a collection of units starting with Archer. The rules for these units are a little different than the direct attack/defender types.

This looks like fun. Thanks for sharing. Lots of hard work in this I can tell. I got an error using the modpack URL, but I was able to clone the git repo just fine.

Maybe turn LT47 into an experimental game on 2.6 and run some tests?

Wieder - What problem are you trying to solve with these suggestions? I could use a bit of context. I thought that with unitwaittime (UWT) you were pretty much stuck to do nothing with your units for 10 hours after move. This means that if you move your units 10 seconds before TC then you can't do anything until almost the middle of the following turn. You and play with stuff your cities are doing mid-turn, but only so much of that is going to work in your favor as well.  This is honestly why I have never really understood the whole RTS thing that folks complain about.

I had no idea you could type a value in a drop down box in client settings. I've never tried. I'll have to check that out.

We will need to publish this to players and ensure we set the serv parameters appropriately so anyone can use whatever tileset they like for our games.

There are settings on the geological tab for map topology index. You can set isometric, hexagonal, both, or neither. If you set iso, then you have to use an iso tileset, if you pick both then you have to use either an iso or hex tileset. If you pick neither then you have to use an overhead tileset (managed via local client settings). They way things are in 2.5 now is anyone can use any tileset they like. 2.6 seems to lock you into one and everyone uses it.

Awesome!

Double awesome. I like the concept of super powerful nuclear winter.

I like that idea. Start with the classic 20 tiles around a city at formation. Maybe get to the current size that we play when the city is size 9 and then grow to something even bigger at 17 and maybe even bigger than that at 30?

Ok. Can we go over the poles? that is something I would like to see, hence the request for both X and Y wrapping.

I am not sure it really matters that LT42 started after 43, 44 and 45. That being said, I do like Corbeau's idea of going with game style in the name with a year and period included.

C for classic, E for experimental, T for team and S for simulation and then a two digit year and one digit identifier.

C19-1 = First Classic game of 2019
S19-2 = Second simulation of 2019
T19-1 = First team game of 2019

Don't rename to an LT#, keep them named as such. What is nice about this is if gives a nice sequence to the game IDs and you know natively when they happened.  Like right now I have no idea when LT30 happened.

The port the game runs on is really irrelevant. We publish that information on the game page anyways so when folks ask we can point them there.

Thanks for the reply louis94. I agree with your comments regarding intent versus actual use, especially inappropriate use. My team ran into a similar situation. I had cgalik as my "default" regent at the start of the game. However, when he and I both needed to take on a perm idler cgalik suggested that I move my default regent to Mooreinstore to ensure that from the public's perspective it would only look like we each were operating under the 1+1 format. This is the main premise of my original post.

Tech exchange or any other function of a regent is only supposed to happen when the person is either perm idle or needs some help with being out of pocket for a few days. That is why we went with the 1+1(+1) solution. To allow say me to take on Mooreinstore if he was going to be out for a holiday or something and then revert back. All publicly commented here or on Discord. There is absolutely zero need for a regent to handle tech exchange. The live players have to coordinate!

My ask is that all teams with "extra" delegations get them cleaned up as soon as possible (with expected coordination via established comm channels). Maybe in the next 2 or 3 turns?

Teams need to learn to communicate in the best possible manner available to them. That is the ultimate challenge of team games and why I like them so much. We would not play if it was easy!
