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

[India (DoC)]

the usual will be continue improving...

Too bad I'm unusual.. and I have no idea how the usuals usually find those usually usefull huts always..

[OzzyKP]

Hey Guys, care to tell us who will win, when and how? You seem to know too much already
Fast start is nice, but it's enough to have a crazy neighbor to ruin anyone's dreams
Next time pls turn off huts and we should consider a cool mod, namely 'noScore' so we shouldnt have a bad feeling looking at our neighbor's score rating.

Huts are fun.

And if a 'noScore' mod existed we would use it.

[Black Knight 427]

Stop looking at the scores and you wont have a problem.

Seriously though I just dont like its unnatural effects on diplomacy, but we cant change this in current game so no need to argue about it.
The noscore mod exists.. i couldnt find it tho, but found games where others used it. As i saw it doesnt hide the scores but actually changes the way how scores are given-everyone gets nothing

[St Jon]

he will fall soon enough

Don't worry Ras. The big boys will hit both of us but that doesn't mean that we cannot hit back. Win or lose - who will remember that we ever lived in a decade's time - so get things in perspective!

It will lead to my poor civ burning in the wind and me crying like a school girl

You know fully what I mean and you equally know my opinion of you. I just make a polite request that you should avoid any form of OOC baiting of me or I will bite and we will have our first Org Thread exchange of outright abuse.

[Rasputin]

As it has been written let it be so !

[BranksDilly]

Is it possible to queue research?

For example...

I will learn tech X in 2 turns but will only be able to log-in again in 4 turns.

Is there a way to select which tech to start researching as soon as tech X has been researched so as to avoid a waste of 2 turns?

Thanks!

[OzzyKP]

Yes, shift + click on the next tech while looking at the tech tree.

[Black Knight 427]

Wow that is amazing I always thought you can't queue up tech research. Learn something new everyday.

[BranksDilly]

Awesome, thanks Ozzy, very helpful.

One more thing...this is my first diplo game...when war is declared the 2 parties revert to a 24hr timer?

I ask not because I'm going to war anytime soon but because I was wondering...I work during the day, so I queue about 3 moves at a time. If war were to occur, I'd be screwed because of that.

So, how does the turn timer work during war?

hmm could lose a capital in 3 turns with no enemy retaliation

It's not in the rules, but yeah we should change to 24h timer as soon as war happens.

Also i wana suggest here that we continue with the faster turns even after t100, 12h turns would be cool in peace time.

And about queue: I have just recently learned that you can give multiple orders to units by using the shift. So it is possible for example to tell a worker who is already working on something that after he finished go to a hill build a mine then a road then go somewhere else build a farm whatever.

[Black Knight 427]

There is no point in going to war so early. But if one where to start a war no I think switching to 24hrs would be the fair thing to do. Though the one who started the war might piss off alot of ppl who like the 8hr timer.

[Robert]

Declare war on one, declare war on all

[The Priest]

In fact the rules would handle an early war, since the rules are that in war we observe a turn order (within some constraints) so you can't be invaded and have multiple turns played against you without you noticing.

I wasn't sure about the 8hr turn timer for the initial turns - first time I had experienced the start of a MP game. However, its working really well. Not sure what would be the apppropriate point to move to a longer turn around - 100 turns, 120, never? But its working well now, and keeps the game moving for us all, rather than it being slow, intense and boring for many.
