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

[India (DoC)]

Thanks Byz. (just want to add: no one should think it is an easy go for me, there is a reason that doing my turns taking almost an hour every time )

[Persia (DoC)]

Indeed, India is just a brilliant player. And if he had mighty allies, more power to him!
There are 4 big powers in this game, if 3 of them can't fight India and 2 allies, then that's their problem, not India's problem.

And I'm sorry for Korea, but I am not going to attack India if that'll result in big losses for my empire. In past games I have gone rampant on leading civs, it always resulted in losing at least 30% of my empire.
I'm not going to make that mistake for this game again, don't blame me for placing a sane leader in charge of Persia.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Since the moment India attacked Byzantium, in-game Byzantium has been all for attacking India although the geography is challenging, and I still have confidence that it will burn at least in part. But ooc I just want to add that any 'problem' of a superpower India is because India played an amazingly good game. to India.

[Korea (DoC)]

oh india oh india , how many destryoers does litle poor india have and transports al lwithin dtriking distance of my lands.



Til i get natives or mali to break with you i cant attack.... as i isad to win at civ 4 combat need some overwhelming odds as attackers , easier to defend and make attacks agaisnt the offenders left in the opne as shown in Inca/Rome versus england war and Inian cersus byz war.

Once we get the numbers we will attack......

[India (DoC)]

Glad you like an alliance of 3 of the top 6 nations...

None of the civs in the top 6 is my ally.. wait.. I see now: those who don'T plan attacking me must be count as allies, so now I know that the other 3 is up to something

..I'm anticipating an attack..? says the civ who has a parade of 10 destroyers close to my borders.. ( what would happen if you used it? You would lose a few but you would weak me down, block my cities, you could write good stories about your heroic fight against the big India and his allies (you can't imagine how many are there..) Sure you can't take cities alone, but I know you are not alone and if it was easy it just wouldnt be fun

Turn Timer extended to 24 hours b/c Russian/Ottoman war.

The current turn still lasts only about 12 hours though!
So I hope that Russia will be able to play in time, otherwise we'll have to pause the game!

[Orb (DoC)]

is that sometihng from startrek !!!

No but I read that they were used in the last game like vouchers or something.

[Korea (DoC)]

How about we hand out some Voltans?

is that sometihng from startrek !!!

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

Ottoman Empire declares war on Russia.

[Korea (DoC)]

I really think the map is excellent. Love the resource distribution and map design of landmasses etc. All starts have strengths and the weaknesses forces trade as has been written above. Really good stuff ozzy. Start making the next one!

I think the rules need adjusting a bit - particularly the tech free trades. Greece missed out a lot in thase paniced free for alls when a new era started (and it doesn't take into account time zone differences/adavantages).

i think i got one free one !!!

[Korea (DoC)]

"next story line ATACK Korea !!!"


Fixed that for ya.

Ok bring it on, I happy to be invaded by anyone...

But my point still remains as siad from early on ...

INDIA is anticipating an attack and yet none is planned. So even the player himself thinks the diplo community should have done something to prevent his domination and yet we cant seem to get any coehesive plan together

So yeah come attack me, maybe you were jsut having a dig atme . Maybve youl ike others think soome who is so far behond tech wise would stand a chance alone of attacking INDIA. No civ 4 Combat mechanics mean unles you have a dominant numbers you will not win, not jsut a larger invasio nforce, but a Sledge hmamer beating on an egg appraoch.

That wont happen without world wide suppoirt..

[Native America (DoC)]

I had a very relaxed position, but I still envy Byzantium's capital

Eh, some had flood plains, some had more hills (yours), some had more forest, etc. But in general the capitols are all more or less the same. In case any one ever did a full examination of capitol resources.

How about we hand out some Voltans?

love the map
