02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): Didn't read the special rules until I joined, this bidding phase sounds very interesting! Imagine we can't start negotiations until the game starts proper? |
02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Rookster): bidding phase is a bit dangerous - whatever you bid on, if you win, those are your home scs. The starting units you get are determined by scs... so you have to be careful or you'll get all armies. |
02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): Or all navies, depends which is worse I hope I can after that build armies and navies normally right? |
02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Rookster): in the SCs that you started with, yes |
02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Rookster): Navies are slightly more powerful on this map, there are only 2 landlocked scs over in the persia area. |
02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): If I'm not the Persian played I'd be so tempted to troll whoever is by bidding all on Laodicoa |
02 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Rookster): Yeah, I've seen Sparta frozen out of the Pelloponese before. |
03 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Weggla III.): Seems to be an interesting variant! |
03 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): More then it does at first glance |
03 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): I joined without reading the varient rules so I'm pleasently surprised |
03 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Weggla III.): Yes, it really seems like you have unique games even before anyone has moved an army |
03 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Rookster): It's a fun one - the negotiations for SCs are always interesting... if you tell me exactly what you're picking you risk me outbidding you for spots... it you don't communicate at all you risk bouncing with people |
03 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): Yeah ideally everyone would want 5 home centers however some would rather screw over a rival |
05 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (strategoi20): This bidding is conducted publicly then? |
05 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (Singy): Normal Diplo rules apply I imagine. You can talk in global or open press with any player however you never know if people will actually follow their word |
05 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (strategoi20): Awesome! |
05 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: (strategoi20): We are all gentlemen here so I know we will all abide by the love for our fellow man. |
06 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: Damn didn't think this would start so soon once people started leaving |
06 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: It's online.! |
06 Feb 22 UTC | Bidding: Will admit I hoped for Macedon it's near to where I am but will not say no to the city of many names (or exonyms that is) |
