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

[Black Knight 427]

Ok then Who has met who then?

[Orb (DoC)]

Does anyone other then the few of us who have posted already have any plans to post a story soon? The month is nearly over if you want points for story then now would be the time.

Everyone else who is posting keep it up. I enjoy reading about what's going on with the rest of the world.

[Robert]

Don't think so.

[Black Knight 427]

Would it be against the rules to ask who has met who IG so far?

[St Jon]

Never trust short monorbic men who cannot spell correctly. They are always megalomaniac mass-murderers with gross inferiority complexes.

Are these typical Dutch qualities? I think the world should know.

[Heraclitus]

What about making an agreement that we wont use the IG option to ban nukes? We could still make treaties about banning them but we could still build our nuclear weapons in secret if we wish. It would be good for diplo.

Back to cultural victory, I've never done in civ4 yet. I see it a bit problematic because it's really "all or nothing" strategy. For cultural victory you have to turn off research and use the commerce for culture(from the middle ages). It means that you will fall behind in research. Now should others come to stop you ( and I think they should) with their more advanced tech the civ which goes for cultural victory will be at their mercy. Probably they will let the civ live but keeping them from ever getting enough culture. And then this civ would be really crippled.
Making a spaceship is always easier and it keeps you top on military (tech-wise)-but it's not that hard to sabotage the ss parts.

but lets try.. the game is not about winning (IG) anyway. I just really hope ppl wont lose intrest at end game as it happened BtP.

The Incas would have gotten a cultural victory in HOTW12 if it was played to the finish. They did this by building an awesome economy with great city placement. They where able to hoard a lot of wonders and funded culture in the industrial era.

Napoleon complex: small men trying to compensate their small size by overshouting themselves

[Jeroen Schweitzer]

It's the Napoleon complex

What's that? I have no urges to become nor emulate a short corsican megalomaniac...

[OzzyKP]

Well keep an eye on this, I'm sure someone else will drop out and will need a sub.

[LzPrst]

hey fellas. looks like I'm too late again...

[Rome (DoC)]

I was getting firewall not configured messages from Greece and once from Korea. I think it was something on my end, but I only had 5 minutes to do my turn so I pushed through; ended up taking me 15 minutes :-(

sorry for blocking you! I'll look at my network before next turn.

[Persia (DoC)]

Everything ok, Rome?
You are trying to get in about 10 times already (and you're blocking me.)

[Robert]

Why are the Dutch such big on conquest I wonder....

It's the Napoleon complex

[Orb (DoC)]

Nevermind

[Black Knight 427]

Personally I'm trying to go for the domination or conquest victory

I would love to see you try this. Personally I don't think it is possible but maybe you can prove me wrong.
