Society VI: Clouded Visions

[:) Smiley]

Republic (or Monarchy) trade: A Republic gets the bonuses both when sending and recieving. The trading partner does not get the bonus; a Despotism recieving trade from a Republic still gets base value.

As for city building, do it spaceship style, if land is scarce, you can opt to pay a premium on the land. This could get messy though, so I'd opt for Spaced's method.

(note to self-modify society rules with smiley's clarification about republic)

As for city building- I'm going to use my system for this game- whoever GMs next can use whatever system they like. I'll do it 1-2-1-2-etc.

[Sparrowhawk]

I am sure you know what you mean by 1-2-1-2-etc........but I am equally sure I don't know what you mean

Edit2: What benefit does the National Rifle Assosiation give?

9. National Rifle Association- The First turn of a declared war is treated like a sneak attack. Only border cities may be taken.

By the way I read that, the player with the NRA will have no advantage over a player without the NRA as they will be able to sneak attack?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Defensive wonder.

[Jonny]

But what's the point? Does anyone actually use declared wars, anyway?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

[DarkCloud]

Jonny- they used to use declared wars.

--
still need Spaced's orders

as for the explanation, sparrow,

Jonny- Build in A3,A4,A5,A6
muxec- Build in A3,A4,A5,A6

will end as

Jonny- built in A3,A5
muxec- built in A4,A6

It seems fair

[Spaced Cowboy]

Sorry, orders in the morning.

DC,

What we were talking about is this situation.

There are only 10 squares left on the map (all else has cities).

Player 1 wants to build 7
Player 2 wants to build 2
Player 3 wants to build 8
Player 4 wants to build 4
Player 5 wants to build 10
Player 6 wants to build 6...etc. Too many build orders, not enough space.

[Sparrowhawk]

and in game 4 I processed orders in the order they came in.......first to send in orders got their cities as requested, last to send in probably missed out entirely.
(and assuming they sent in order, using Spaced's example above):
Player 1 gets 7
Player 2 gets 2
Player 3 gets 1
Player 4 gets 0
Player 5 gets 0
Player 6 gets 0

In game 5 Spaced prorated it, so to use his example:
Player 1 gets 7/37 * 10 = 2
Player 2 gets 2/37 * 10 = 0
Player 3 gets 8/37 * 10 = 2
Player 4 gets 4/37 * 10 = 1
Player 5 gets 10/37 * 10 = 3
Player 6 gets 6/37 * 10 = 2

Obviously both of the above examples depend on where the squares are available, and who has common borders to the available squares (though in this map with the wrap around sides, this is much less of a problem).

[:) Smiley]

The intention for the National Rifle Association:

After the first turn of a sneak attack, the following turn becomes the first turn of a declared war.

[Sparrowhawk]

But how is that different then a sneak attack?

If someone does a sneak attack, the following turn is the first turn of the declared war?

Or am I missing the point (as I suspect I am)?

[Spaced Cowboy]

sent.

[Whoha]

Is the next turn also subject to sneak attack restrictions?

[DarkCloud]

*Edit*

People need to build more wonders...

We have two super-wonder powerhouses here and no challengers really to speak of...

[DarkCloud]

Here's the Map!

[DarkCloud]

We also have a huge great divide in the middle of the map!

DAY 6:The Wonders

1500 AD

As the nuclear age dawns upon this preternaturally old grouping of societies, new advances such as Space Flight are discovered and traded, lending new power to old giants such as the Coven of Hawks and Imperial Finland.

In other news, the Coven of Hawks developed four new wonders, wowing the competition and becoming a major contendor for a Cultural victory as their armies threaten The Empire of the Spaced Dudes- after sabotauging the Emperor's development of armies.

Other empires made the change to republic- Smiley and Kassiopeia for two.

Elector Sparrow meanwhile renamed several of the cities he had captured from Jonny to bring them more in align with the rest of his empire's theme.

Possible Errors
Sparrows trade income?

Smiley and Kassiopeia's Final income... becaues I'm not sure the program did the halving correctly and I had to do it manually myself... wasting about 10 minutes doing so .

[Spaced Cowboy]

My gold cannot possibly be correct.

Sparrow...you want a piece of me?

[Whoha]

Oh yea, that was retarded of me wasnt it DC, build no armies and defend that production. anyway sent.

[Sparrowhawk]

Ditto, but I think it is easily fixed, I think all that is missing is Kassiopeia's Trade to me.

Sparrow...you want a piece of me?

Not especially but as Darkcloud correctly points out, no one else seems to be building wonders, and I suspected you would build a few more this turn, so I declared war anticipating that I would have to take your wonders away from you to keep you from winning the game (Since no one else seems worried about that ). I really didn't expect to complete 4 wonders this turn

I am neither interested in a Wonder Victory nor a war with the Spaced Dudes, however I must play the hand I am dealt, and if that means attacking you, then so be it.

___________________________


Two questions for Darkcloud or anyone that cares to offer an opinion......
1) Can you use your spies in the same turn as a revolution (or do you even get a spy in a revolution turn)?

2) Can you provide Foreign Aid in more then one area? (Either two things to different societies....DrSpike gifts 100 Armies to Jamski and Technology #12 to Joncha, the same thing to two societies.....DrSpike gifts Technology #12 to Joncha and Jamski, or two things to the same Society....DrSpike gifts Jamski 100 Armies and Tech #12) The way I read the rules the 1st and 2nd are not allowed, the 3rd is.......but I am not sure i am reading it right

/me

[DarkCloud]

Spaced
I fixed that- not quite sure why it was wrong.

Whoha
I'll leave you some leeway and assume that you didn't use that spy.
-

Sparrow
Your foreign trade with Kass- I'll recalculate.

Other than Sparrow and Smiley, everyone should be all right now.

As for your other questions-
1.) I think you should get a spy in the same turn as the revolution and that'll be house rules now. Though in future games, it might be a good idea to forbid them because of overpowering.
2.) I want to limit it in just one area BUT there is no law against sending both gold and tech...

as it is now you can only give foreign aid to one soceity at a time though.

What I think this game should run at least this TIME as is to forbid giving two different types of aid as that could be potentially unbalancing.

Therefor you could give unlimited armies or tech, but not both together.

[DarkCloud]

There. Everything should be good and fixed now.
