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

[Persia (DoC)]

Well, I got 2 religions at one turn, I think that's only possible by getting CoL, Oracle --> Philosophy. (perhaps also by going monotheism --> Theology in one turn, though that's quite a stretch)

Anyway, all be aware that There's 1 religion: Hastogianism with two branches! (hairy hastogianism (confucianism) and heavy hastognianism (buddhism).
It's as with Islam, there's hardly a difference between Suni's and Shii's, but still they hate each other (while remaining 1 religion)

It was pretty exciting to finish the Oracle 4 turns later then possible, only to grab Philosophy But I though the risk was totally worth it.

only 500 turns to go

Soooo negative..

Btw Persia, can we get a hint storywise what tech did you grab from the Oracle? (are you adopting pacifism or what )

[Rasputin]

That's why I lied, it wasn't 4 turns but 2 :P

only 500 turns to go

[Persia (DoC)]

4 more turns? what will happen in 4 turns? an other poor civ gets owned? Or maybe you finish a wonder in 4 turns? Well I don't want to make you worry but I'm building 3 wonders atm and all 3 will be ready just in 3 turns, maybe yours is a fourth one, so dont worry, have a nice day :P

I'd have a problem with 2 big civs declaring war on 1 smaller civ

[Orb (DoC)]

I've seen your 40 minutes chat with Russia
I'll keep an eye on you!

Don't be silly. Russia and I only taked for 20 minutes.

[Persia (DoC)]

I dont want to but If you really want someone to stop you I guess I'll have to take do it.

I like building Wonders early as failure is its' own success. You lose the race for the Wonder but it enables many turns of deficit financing of 100% research. SP the chances of one of the real goodies are tiny unless you get a religion but the gold you get flowing is so useful. They can see you through to currency and upgrade those useless warriors if the worst comes to the worst. A ray of sunshine is always to be found. GW and SH don't change the world but as for gold; contrary to the old saying 'none of the best things in life are free - they are all very expensive indeed'!

We are very different in civ4 skillz. In normal multi games it's not a big problem: the weak get killed off and they move on. In diplo it's also not a big problem-I just hope that everyone knows what to expect and dont get dissapointed then leave the game or just become passive whatever.
I had great fun playing in BtP with a backward civ, had my small goal and for that i was at war with Rome.. and it could have turned out differently .
Usually it's not civ vs civ anyway but alliances against each other. Even a weaker civ can contribute to this a lot (if nothing else then some propaganda headlines )
We have a civ or two here who cant really play civ4 (I'm saying this by looking at the demographics time to time)-I think they should practice, or even ask for advice. And we have some really experienced players-they should teach us . A trick for example: you can create a similar position in world builder and try some different strategy, way-you could see for example that building worker first always worth it than to wait to get to pop2 and building a worker then.


other subject: I'm suprised no one builds wonders. I know the SH and GW have been build, but quite late and no other wonders. I was afraid to start any because I thought it would be a big race for them and it would suck to lose it. I wonder everyone thought the same?

BK: RP cool it. Don't get into arguments over other players views.

Thanks for showing me how not to get into arguments over other player views

[Rasputin]

RP cool it. Don't get into arguments over other players views. Raz I dont get why you are being such a downer all the time. I dont know who you are right now but I bet any money you are not dead last and I dont know if you are one of the ones who where in the recent war but I would bet you are doing well for yourself at this point. So please keep the negativity to yourself and instead of giving up to the thought that you will not win just try your best to win anyways. Sometimes the journey is is alot more fun then the end.

Now what I wanted to ask as the turns are getting to 100, can we keep it at 8hr for another 50 turns or can we just do 12hour turns until someone starts a war then change it to 24hrs. I dont know about everyone else but I am enjoying the playing twice a day.
