The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[mzprox]

It's all pretty obvious.. I just wonder why did you neglected most of the civs.. you have calculated avg #1 for persia and not for any other civs.. so if you would be so kind.. (btw it's the difference from the average excluding the civ in question-sry I'm not really good in english when talking about statistic's terms).. But I'm dying to know all the missing data

[OzzyKP]

First column is their rank, second is the civ name, third is their score.

And I guess I know the next two as well. Those euro-commas throw me off.

[Robert]

You weren't able to figure out even 1 column?

[OzzyKP]

I give up.

[Robert]

I'm going to just post this and see who's the first who finds out what everything means
No, it has nothing to do with the ratings, just with the gamescore and how the 'top civs' compare to the 'bottom civs'

enjoy

[Robert]

Rating ends TOMORROW!
Roughtly 40 hours left for rating!

Russia, England and Egypt yet have to rate!

We can still continue to discuss BtP stuff in the BtP org thread.
Let's keep this thread clean and keep DoC politics IC.

[Rasputin]

IMHO discussion is valid for healthy diplo in the future:

I think Rome and Portugal's game-long co-operation (after their ancient mini-war and regardless of tensions) as two of the top 3 powers in BtP assured that one of these two civs would win...

and they did.

it all good the lower civs are here to play regardless of what is going on in game , they never quit...

Let's keep game politics in-character.
ooc discussions about what should happen in-game aren't fair. Who knows what secret agenda someone has he tries to achieve by ooc remarks.

And yes, top civs should keep the game interesting for all, but that's also what we have the attitude vote for.
It's both for small civs that continue to play despite their bad situation and for big civs, who despite their powers still give the smaller civs a chance.
Use it at your own insight.

And use in-game politics to fight the big ones or the strong ones or the ugly ones or the blue wants if you want! (or even to fight civs because their leader has a bald head, there are many reasons for a war! Just don't discuss it OOC, that's what we have in-game diplo for )

I think the balance should be in the level of alliances. In an alliance even a weaker civ can be very significant. What we should avoid is that the strongest civs forge a permament alliance- It's the responsibility of "the big boys" to keep the game interesting and avoid such a safe play.

slightly edited...

Totally agree.

I feel that as the Khmer in BtP I tried absolutely everything to fulfill this ideal.

[mzprox]

but i do agree .. the top civs need to be kept in check by the civs immedialty below them, what usualy hapepns is they ally with the civs bleow them..

I have other opinion. Attacking a civ with stronger economy could just result that the weaker civ falls even more behind-they can win ofc but even that not always pays off.

But do whatever you want just have fun and don't quit (had I said how I hated that in BtP? I'm sure I had.. )

It is true the start is not the same as the end but at the same time if one civ has a great start then goes unchallenged they should come out on top unless smallers civs band together to take the bigger ones down or the bigger ones roylly mess up.

hmm if this had been posted under my name it would have got a million responses claiming i whinging etc etc

but i do agree .. the top civs need to be kept in check by the civs immedialty below them, what usualy hapepns is they ally with the civs bleow them..
