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

[Russia (DoC)]

This doesnt sound too good. Since we cant really kill each other I think the solution is that small civs ally and go hunt on the bigger ones. I hope ppl will want to keep the game interesting and we wont see the opposite (ie big civs ally and go enslave the small ones )

(BTW just a suggestion for the others: If you join a conversation pls use he same type of account as the previous posters. So if it started with a normal poly account then dont post with your DOC one.)

Am I the only one looking forward to the menance of the Sea Peoples? I mean seriusly... cramped civs should really think about cooperating to sack or conquer greater peoples on other continents.

A simple plan for three civs (so as to not overload their economy, doable with two):

-One builds ships & explores
-One spams their ancient UU
-One builds the remaining army

One of them gets writting (open borders) so gifting units is possible.

The beauty of this plan is that not one of the civs needs all the techs needed for an combined arms approach. They can also assemble an army of unmatched size by pooling their resources.

They can with a quick and early amphibious invasion pillage the country side and raze the cities of wealthy neighbouring states. Or even conquer an unprotected costal capital and force their people into thralldom.

If you want live messaging why not just log in the game with whoever you want to talk to and use the messaging in the game?

[Russia (DoC)]

Oh, ok I was just asking. I do however agree with WarningU2 that forwarding it to regular mail seems usefull.


Also the chat function in gmail seems like a great way to conduct "live" meetings without the hassle of creating MSN/Skype accounts while retaining anonimity.

[WarningU2]

I actually used the email BtP account to alert me of thread updates and PM's ... had it forwarded to my real address. Was very handy for that.

No, we don't. Please use Private Messaging to communication with other players.
If a lot of people want mail I can set it up, but in BtP it was rarely used. Most people just sent PM's.

The Apolyton DoC accounts should have about unlimmited PM space.

I hope people don't mind me asking. Do we have anon mail accouts like they did in Beyond the Pit and HOTW?

Come on guys, drop this talk! . The score show absolutely nothing yet about how good someone is. (and it wont show even later)

I already know who Toni is and he doesn't look too hot at the moment. Nobody else in this game can really be classed as 'the old crew'. The 'Defrocked One' may have won BtP but he is just very good at the game not an Oldie. Robbo is our only other 'Oldie' apart from you and Hera.

Just tell when you know who our Hungarian friend is as he is very very good! I want to avoid him at all costs.

well apart from when i got a free tech from hut and led the pack for a turn or two, i am now in my usual place..

to be honest, i dont even know who is playing in this game :LOL:

St Jon... beware the people who start slow but move up as time goes by.

This game slightly askew as the huts give civs some pts in techs etc. but despite that Toni is doing ok.

I think the penalty goes only if you are intentionaly doing it especialy with others' covers.

i guess it lucky for me that i wouldnt be in the running to win this game seeing as there is some stupid penalty for breaking a stupid Anominity rule.

But seeing it already broken i guess i may as well break other rules....

Did someone break his anonymity? I apparently missed it. (good for me)

[St Jon]

Interesting point re 'anonymity' and percentage penalty. If I just reveal who I am now I just lose 25% of FA but if I lapse later I could be hurt.

@Raz Who do you reckon are the old crew climbing up score chart? Interesting for me as I reckon I recognise at least a couple of others who ain't doing much at the moment.
