bump.  2 spots left.

OK, I'll take one. I didn't want to have too many random games simultaneously but considering the awful starting position I have on Iron Age I (island, one isolated city, on the seashore by chance) I will not have a lot to do on this game. So... I'm here ! [:)]

I would join.

This game will be tracked here:

Turn received, but... once again, starting position as a city on a small island (very small : it has just the city [:D]). No fun. Is there any way to avoid those starting positions while setting the game ? If this is possible, I suggest to reset.

@Herode
 
Why you don´t just build two cargoships and some infantry and explore from that city ?
Maybe there is a awesome coast full of cities only a few hexes away.
I don´t think it´s possible to have a perfect starting position for each player.
 

A perfect start positionning is far beyond my expectations, but too many mean or bad positions are just boring.
OK, I'll try with cargoships & so, we'll see...

What i wanted to say is that in such a setup (islands, 6 players) very often one or two players will have
bad starting positions. But such a one city island is not more a problem than a starting city in a desert with
no other cities near. And cargoships are a must in such a game i think.
I hope you´ll find another city soon not to far away.

all5n,

I have registered at Kriegspiel site and am awaiting the acceptance from the moderator. I also received the message containing the email list. Could you post the turn order.

Turn sent to Wired Team

Waiting for the turns in both Iron Age games now for 3 days.
I´m already used to the fast turnaround and wonder where the turns are.
 

Agreed. If we want to avoid the tunnel effect, I suggest we cross mail each turn to each player in the game + notification of the one who has to play. Thus, everybody knows at what stage we are.
Also prevents from loosing the file, forgetting the turn, thinking one has received it when he has not, etc.

I surrendered on this game also, for similar reason as Iron Age I. I'm fed up with messed starting positions and not willing to loose more time with hopless - hence boring - games.

Have fun !

Hope we´ll see us in the next game with a better starting position.
