is there a mod out there which allows you to play a teamer in cton format ? i.e you score points as a team but tech seperately and have different world maps depending on what you have discovered?
just think this would open up alot more tactics and need alot more team play than the normal teamer.

Yes. It is known as Civ3. A good idea, I ahve tried to get enough people to take part in a match like this in civ4. I am sure you know how much the masses like the same ole same ole... If ya see me out there I would be happy to tool around and see if we can get something going. Scores would have to be kept manually. Always war would be off. There are a few other settings that would need adjustment to make it work. Keep trying!

well im sure it would be hard for a moDer to make the changes. all that would really be altered is what of the map u see and you tech alone and score together. i never played civ 3 so didnt realise that was the way it was. if its coded into that does tht mean it could be copied some how?
im just thinking espeicially now as the main team games seem to be start seperated having to find your team mates as well as your enemy could make for a very good game

In fact I was thinking about adding this into my Future Regicide mod. It would not be a simple matter to do, but I think it is doable.

All you need is a mod that allows tech trading and map trading with say, hunting! Then dont set teams "in game", but just agree on them. The only problem is talking to "team". oh yeah and a grid on the Mini map. Its a great idea and would open up ALOT of strategy, although maybe techs should be slightly more expensive (but not too much). All teamers seem to be played the same these days, people are building the same things in the same order, and doing the same tactics game after game - This might bring something fresh and much needed new thinking, and stop the sheep-style which is currently plauging the ladder.

Man, I used to love in c3c future reg. checking out your co-ords. and then sending a king or explorer in the direction of teammates because you had to meet them to trade map, gold or units.
I will have a play round and see what I can come up with. but it is not going to be easy at all. I might have to rewrite the team settings all together.

cton style teamers would bring back how the old c3c games used to start:
"I am at 6 oclock, closer to edge than middle, actually make that half past 6." Then we got real sophisticated as a grid could be downloaded. Then we used to say "im at ab45, right on the cross."
