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

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I thought writing about a hot babe queen gives you the most diplo-points... Dammit, must revise strategy again...

Next time in the rule set up phase, just make sure 50% of points come from the 'eye-candy' category, and you'll be there. The pics did give you a union with your rather more powerful neighbour though, so they achieved something.

Log-in India quick. Check that that power-outage wasn't a cover for carefully editing out the roads and railways from your oil refineries, and check every one of your soliders that they still have the right coloured helmets.

I shouldn't joke - I remember a previous game when someone did accuse the host of taking the game offline, nicking their civ, accepting peace, and then handing the civ back and reconnecting the game.

Game's up again

Game is down / server is down for a couple of minutes. I'm installing software updates and doing some work on the electricity in the house. it'll be up asap.

[India (DoC)]

You know, always checking the map for hiding transports, optimizing production/growth in every city, calculating winning odds for battles, doing some diplo.. take too much time .

[England (DoC)]

Some massive slaving going on plus an hour taking turns. Someone has much on his mind lately it seems

no comment on my wickedly evil treatment of prisoners?

actually yes, one of the best dramatic scenes in the whole movie...

[Persia (DoC)]

If Persian is focused on winning in diploscore (how ungentlemanly - there was me thinking we were just playing a game ) (....)

What gave you ever the idea that I'm a gentleman? I'm a Hastogianist

And about diplo-score, I don't think that diplomacy equals to be at peace with everyone. I think it's a way to get your will done through words. If that angers all the world, fine.

This is funny as the saying goes "two fight and a 3rd in this case Byzantium wins"

Hey in all seriousness he is the one topping the overall score table, so lets all ally vs him.

I believe the famous saying is,

"They all run around playing war for 4000 years, and in the end, the Byzantines win."

I appreciate the unlikely optimism guys, but the reality is the other way round. Its being at the centre of wars which gives you lots of diplo-score points. If Persian is focused on winning in diploscore (how ungentlemanly - there was me thinking we were just playing a game ) the way to go is being at the centre of wars and creating incidents just for the sake of it. The way to defeat someone in diploscore is not to ally against them - no,no,no - but for everyone to simply ignore them.

I am at a conference in San Francisco this weekend. I have my laptop (with civ on it) so I can still play the Native's turns, but may miss one or two and may not be as active with diplomacy as I would be otherwise. Just FYI.

Also, I snuck into some big, important video game conference today. Couldn't find anything on Civ V

Sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind...

Just to be 100% clear:
What is going on in the Moscow dungeon is of course unknown to the rest of the world. I wrote it because it will make for a good story. It's a story without any relevance to politics (for now)

as for my spy... he probably had it coming.
