  • Apolyton Assemble!! Multi-Site Demo Game 3 is forming! Join Team Apolyton!



    Any of you have any lingering resentments toward CivFantatics, WePlayCiv, RealmsBeyond, Civ4Players or anyone else? Well now is your chance to help settle the score! Apolyton is taking on the world in a global game of civ! Teams will be fielded from popular civ sites across the Internet! Let's defeat them all in this epic demo game! Every major civ site will have their own team and we get to face off against them! Apolyton has been invited to field TWO teams. One for our Spanish community and one for the rest of us. Join the Apolyton Spanish team here, and the Apolyton English team here.

    Apolyton's active diplogamer community has begun organizing a team and have thus far signed up an impressive squad of:

    DNK
    OzzyKP
    Dick76
    mzprox
    LzPrst
    Hercules
    Robert Plomp
    Toni
    Calanthian

    However we need more!! Polytubbies of all skill levels and time commitments are encouraged to stop by the organization thread and join the team! This is a demo game, so no contribution is too small!





    On Thursday we received the following post in the Civ4-MP forum:

    Hey, Guys!

    A Multi-Team Demo Game 3 (MTDG3 for short) is forming at CFC. I want to invite the Apolytoneers to form a team around the dedicated players and sign up for it.

    To those who dont know what this MTDG thing is, I can say that this is a Civ4 BTS 3.19 game, played on pitboss between few (5-6) teams consisting of 5-10-20 players each where the players discuss, argue if need be and vote or simply decide what the best course for their team is and then a turnplayer (or several of them) play the actual turn. Collective brainstorming, multiple opinions, democratic voting, between-team diplomacy - all those are used to make sure the team develops best and at the end eventually wins the game by one of the conditions.

    There will be a mapmaker and admins for the game.

    For now we expect at least two teams from civfanatics and one from realmsbeyond.

    Here is the original organization thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=436398

    As an interesting side information I can tell you that our Team Amazon with Captain Sommerswerd had won the last MTDG2 just few months ago with a space ship launched in a tight final race.

    So, come on you Apolytoneers, get up, gather yourself and field a team to compete for the glory of Apolyton. Glory and fame awaits all those who join!

    your buddy,

    Let's do this!!

  • Civilization IV: Civilization Reference
    by Martin Gühmann

    If you've been looking for a comprehensive, interactive reference tool for Civilization IV and its Warlods and Beyond the Sword expansion packs your wait is over. Apolyton Civilization Site staff member Robert "CyberShy" Plomp has exhaustively put together such a resource that comes in a general and unit-speicifc variety.

    Through an array of drop-down menus, mix and match combinations of particulars from the basics such as civilization and civics to particular buildings and bonuses on the 'General' sheet, and type through required technology with the 'Unit' document. Information is displayed in data-rich but easy-to-follow table format with colourful icons and pleasant shading.

    Should you any updates needed in future that have not been applied (e.g. as a result of one or more patches), contact Plomp directly.

    If you wanna comment on this please to so in the related forum thread Civ4 Interactive Series Reference Sheets.

  • Civ 4 the List: List of Threadmasters
    by DarkCloud

    The List for Civ IV was a project that could not have been accomplished without the hard work and dedication of the many Threadmasters and ideas-finders on the forums. While idea-suggestors are likewise important, I have compiled here a list of the volunteers who went above and beyond the call of duty to take on the task of threadmastering a thread for the List.

    And here they are, alphabetically:

    Asmodean- Former Administrator of the List
    Azazel- Government and Social Engineering
    DarkCloud- Administrator; Civilizations, General, Scenario/Map Editor; List Formatter
    Fosse- The Polls
    Ixnay- Space
    Lajzar- Units
    MattH- Cheats
    Nikolai- AI, Resources, Terrain
    Octavian X- Wonders
    Platypus Rex- Regional and City Menus
    TechWins- Diplomacy
    Trifna- Movement/Supply, User Friendliness

  • Civ 4 the List: Closing Remarks
    by DarkCloud

    And so now the list has drawn to a close. Thousands of ideas have been culled from the Civ III community at Apolyton. Hopefully the list that we propose here has been easy enough to search through and hopefully it will lead to a great parnership between the players and the corporation.

    Good luck with your struggles and please, keep civving!

    PS: Here's a link to the Civ III-Ideas List compiled by Apolyton Fans on July 14, 1999 - Civ III List in case you wish to compare it to the current creation

  • Civ 4 the List: The Polls
    by Fosse

    Introduction

    Realizing that some polls about hot topics have already left the top page, and that newcomers to the discussion seldom dig through the back pages in order to find out what's been discussed before, I've decided to compile a list of the Civ 4 List related polls.

    I've abandoned keeping a running talley of votes, as it's a great deal of work that is immediatley outdated, and if you really were interested in the results you would visit the poll and read the comments.

    Now... the polls:

    Stacked vs. Single Unit Combat: The Battle Continues
    Should units be stacked into "armies" that fight and operate as a single unit, or does moving them one at a time provide a boost to strategic considerations?

    Resources: How to Handle
    Is a system with stores and limits on resources a better simulation and more fun, or tedious micromangement?

    From Civ 3 to Civ 4
    More of the same, or a bold new direction for Civ 4?

    Squares, Hexes, Octagons...
    Pick your poison, the traditional Civ Map, traditional War Games map, or something else entirely.

    Eras in Civ 4?
    Is the new era system a great addition, or a stifling hindrance?

    Espionage & Assymetrical Warfare
    Does Bond get his own unit?

    To 2000 AD or Beyond?
    Civ, From the Ancients to the Stars; or Civ, The Whole of Human History.

    {The List} United Nations
    A resolution for change... do you Veto?

    {The List} What Should Happen to Civ Traits?
    Should Civ 4 have homogenous Civs or even more differences?

    Terrain Improvements
    "Give me Workers, or Give me Death" vs "Micromagement Gives me Death."

    Nomads and Chiefdoms
    Should Civ 4 let us wander the great wide open?

    Civ 4 ideas - straights and canals
    Do you want straigts? Or canals?

    Civ 4 idea: Armies instead of units
    Once again, armies or single units?

    Health in Civ 4?
    Should we have sick Civs?

    Emphasis on Age
    Which historical era, if any, should get a boost in Civ 4?

    Civ 4 resistance
    Do you want partisans from Civ 2? Resistors from Civ 3? Or something new for Civ 4?

    Fire and Movement
    How should firepower and movement rates affect combat in Civ 4?

    Stacking Limits Y/N
    Assuming we have stacks, what sorts of stack limits should there be?

    Improved Poll: When should Civilization IV end?
    What is a good time for the game to end?

    Future Techs in Civ 4
    Which future era techs would you like in Civ 4?

    What ARE wonders, anyway?
    Well? What are they?

    Pollution Managers:
    Would you like Pollution Managment added to city screen?

    Tech Transmission


    Here is some food for thought from Civfanatics.

    -Respectfully Compiled by Fosse
