I'd like to... but I won't be able to play from tomorrow (Wednesday) to mid-Saturday, especially since iStuff can't do XML...

That works, and as long as you will only be gone a few days (and after that are willing to go at a fast pace), then it will work out great.
Could

I'd volunteer to GM a game of this.

I guess you should make a map then, or chose one of the 1v1 maps already done.
It would be nice if you could get it up before tomorrow, so redwarrior can get a few turns in before he leaves, but no pressure.

Game 4
How's this? Turn 1

Special rules:
Barbarians! These uncivilized people will attack anyone entering a non-mountainous tile adjacent to themselves. They will chase down anyone who successfully retreats, and will start pillaging if they enter civilized lands. They will return to their original positions if they lose sight of any suitable targets. Should they spot multiple targets, a die roll will determine where they go. They prefer cities and military targets, in that order.
Rare horses! Horse pastures may not be built. Use the existing pastures wisely.

[lemon10]

Looks pretty neat, I have no problem with it.
I am submitting my first three turns, and they take effect as long as redwarrior is fine with it the map and the game going ahead.

Game 4
I think I ran into the same bug Azthor did, I'll see if I can reliably reproduce it. Let me know if there are still any oddities.

Turn 4

Edit: Vangio, it seems to have problems if there's an error in an order, despite it stopping for the order.
Edit edit: No, wait, it inconsistently likes giving me inconsistent results even if I remove the error properly. I think it just has problems if the interface doesn't have a fresh start each turn. It seems to work better if I refresh than if I try to run multiple turns.

Are you sure you hit the run button between loading each turn's orders? I tested a bunch of times, and the one odd result turned out to be from that.

[Nirur Torir]

Yes, here's the exact order of what I did:
Paste game, [Load Orders], paste Lemon10's turn, [Load], [Load Orders], paste RedWarrior0's turn, [Load], [Run Turn!]. Repeat.
When I tried it again just now it ended up with Lemon10 having 14 pop, and Redwarrior0 having 17.
I see if updating from Firefox v3.6.28 somehow makes my problem with it disappear.

[Vanigo]

Is that with or without reloading between turns?

[Nirur Torir]

Without refreshing between turns.

It still doesn't work right, and now I somehow didn't get any growth on the first turn for the real players, although the barbarians grew to size 4 instead of size 3. I haven't any idea how I did that. It shouldn't even be possible. I noticed it once or twice while testing earlier as well. I failed to save it, and it did it again after ten or so tries. The barbarians did grow.
Bugged save.

[RedWarrior0]

And now either:
A. I post a couple turns on Wednesday, maybe even one at night. And maybe one straddling the thurs/fri barrier before reappearing mid-Saturday
Or
B. Someone Computer Voodoos the swf to work with iOS.

Uh, no growth on the first turn is to be expected. With all that free population and not much land claimed, there isn't enough surplus food for any growth.

[Nirur Torir]

I am deeply troubled by this obvious revelation, and I can now get it to claim that the players each have 4 or 5 excess food about a third of the time after clearing my cache and opening a new window.

[Vanigo]

4 or 5 excess food on what turn?

[lemon10]

Yeah, you screwed up.
On the first turn I shouldn't gain any population, and should only have two excess food (at least in all my tests that is what happened), anything else happening means that I have to redo my turns (and that I screwed up).

And now either:
A. I post a couple turns on Wednesday, maybe even one at night. And maybe one straddling the thurs/fri barrier before reappearing mid-Saturday

I am fine if you are unable to play for a while, as long as you aren't dropping off the map.
