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

[mzprox]

Are people so easily confused by the warrior avatar that they don't remember that was Russia's post.

For the record, I liked your posts, as well as the music clips

While early wars are interesting I don't really like them in diplogames. Too easy to cause big harm and the others could leave the warring civs behind in techs, power etc.
On the other hand wars are not prohibited at all in diplogames and from what I've read here the Persians dont want to cripple the Russians (and they shouldnt) but the Russains also need to be reasonable. Surrendering in diplogames doesnt mean the end of the game at all, and it's quite logical when threatened by a much bigger army. The situation can change even reverse, just get some strong friends - in any case it's good opportunity for great diplo and stories
(I wrote this but I dont know if you are new diplo palyer or not, it not then nvm, you must know these already )

YES! All hands of Russia!
I am the only one who's allowed to toy with him right now! Get your own toy!!!!!!

[Russia (DoC)]

Apologies Russia, I was quick to judge without even checking the story thread.

Sorry I over reacted, I was just frustrated that so many people said this.

[Persia (DoC)]

Russia: Anyway my current strategy, since I'm now destined to be a bottom civ is to drag Persia into the depts of hell with me at any cost.

Ok, not sure if this belongs to an OOC debate, but I do not have the intention to crumble you! May I advise you to not start a lengthy war with me? Just accept your losses and your position and gain advantage from it.
Your neighbour is by far the strongest civ on earth (2nd civ has 55% my power) and has by far the biggest production on earth (2nd civ has about 50% my production capacity).

Be wise, accept my protection and my settler. Better have a strong friend at your border who helps you to advance then wage this endless war where you have no chance at all.
This advice is honest.

I prefer a lengthy war though, by the way, if possible also with the dutch and the ottoman
I can handle the three of you
saves me a settler as well and gives me some free promotions.

Just some advice, first build a worker, not a settler.
When you were settling your 2nd and 3rd city, I mined bronze, gold and silver, pastured cattle and am preparing right now a road to send even more armies your way. One improved city is better then 4 unimproved cities.


Bottom line: don't destroy your chances for the rest of the game by launching a lengthy war of wrath now!
Your chances are not gone at all!

*Has Russia ever posted?
*Has anyone ever talked ingame with Russia
*Are we having another no talk/post Stinca (Russia) like the previous game?

WTF?!?!?!?!??!?!




Why are so many people saying this?



Are people so easily confused by the warrior avatar that they don't remember that was Russia's post? Or are they just repeating hearsay? LET ME AGAIN SAY, I HAVE RESPONDED TO EVERY SINGLE DIPLOMATIC MESSAGE. Also YOU GUYS NEED TO ACTUALLY READ THE STORY THREAD BEFORE COMING OUT WITH SUCH COMMENTS.

Thank you.

[Russia (DoC)]

I can play my turns mostly within 1 - 3 hours after the new turn starts, except when I'm sleeping.

I don't know about when the turns will be played this weekend. I'll contact you or publicly declare as soon as I know.

[Russia (DoC)]

If you look at the civ stats Russia does play his turn but sadly he is almost impossible to contact and I don't think he look at apoly much.

Fair point. Has anyone posted recently for Russia.

If Russia is out of the game what are the implicatios. ?

Guys this is propaganda. I have been posting, don't belive St. Jon, just check the story thread to read my posts.

Also I've answered all diplo PM's and have been logging in my poly account daily.

[Russia (DoC)]

Has Russia posted anything? Apart from an early lead, not unusual for an Imperialist Civ, logic would say that they are very new. Let us hear some Russian propaganda about this outrageous war launched upon them. Hastog the Hairy doesn't sound that middle-eastern either!

We have posted, in fact we have posted much more than several other players.


And yes we did have an early lead, which I was rather proud of since I suck at playing civ. My whole strategy was to grab some land early in the hopes of having a shot at being mediocre during midgame. We didn't quite get that due to a border dispute with the Ottomans that we handled quietly since we wanted good realtions with our neighbours. The score was also improved by us being creative (culture). Our economy is subpar, and we have barley begun to build a military.


I'm not feeling mad at all at the unexpected attack, the stories seemed ok, and the player has always maintained character even when in game chat.
("Pay!" lol, my first impression was some kind of mistaken OOC grudge, only later when reading the story thread did I get it )


Anyway my current strategy, since I'm now destined to be a bottom civ is to drag Persia into the depts of hell with me at any cost.

The turns dont have to last 24h at war time. When the timer is long it is even more important to make your move and asap. So come on Despot!, we are waiting..

[Robert]

Russia is in contact with me, he initiated the contact, so there are no problems there.
The 8h timer will be back when the war is over.

[England (DoC)]

Some Q's

*We going back to the 8hrs turn? If yes when?
*So the usual suspect is slowing down the game?
*Wise war there Herry Henry, wonderful posts.
*Has Russia ever posted?
*Has anyone ever talked ingame with Russia
*Are we having another no talk/post Stinca (Russia) like the previous game?
