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

[Rasputin]

howver it was pointelss doing anything once the war was lost , partly caused by the persians.

Compensating an ally that was not involved in the war because you lost the war is pointless?

However you werent the first to let India know of planned attack !!!

Tell me more tell me more!!

The game was over so pointless in doing anything, no idea why you continued to play....


I have PMs that reveal much, but seeing no one esle is being open i gues i will hold back on that.

[bamf226]

So bamf226 was my old Celt buddy from Btp!! Hi ya!! You played pretty good here I think and are developing well.

Thanks deity. I appreciate the compliment. As you can see I'm still helping the winner. If you want to win, get placed next to me and be nice. As with the last game, I wasn't big on war. Although I did consider invading India early, by the time I started to build up an army, he vaulted up the power rankings and I held back having missed my chance.

[Robert]

It was not Ras who claimed that initially

[bamf226]

Anyway, it has at last been shown that the 'vets' are not the one that always win or lead the game.
- The Priest one BtS and 2nd (in score) in DoC
- mzprox wins DoC

In fact the only question that remains is: when will a vet win a pitboss diplo game

My applause goes to players who weren't among the top-civs but kept on playing and rating through the entire game! That's really amazing. I hope that all of you have very good starts in the next game! You deserve it! Thanks for your participation there.

Games like this can only be a success if there are players who are willing to lose till the end.
I hope you guys had fun nonetheless, and many of you already expressed that!

Robert, there must be some mistake. According to Raz, only vets win these games

[St Jon]

St Jon, which of the 4 big nations did actually in the end compensate the Incas for their losses in the great war?

None. It did not matter anyway that late in the game.

Game was over before anyone had time to repay him, but since most of his losses were caused by Persians back stabbing perhaps it is hte character of their leader that shoudl repay john

Persia never back-stapped Inca! Persia tried to help the MAD Alliance but Russia interfered by its' attack on Persia.

I did the best I could in DotC but the MAD Alliance was a route out of an otherwise impossible position. It was not the best route, for Inca, as Korea and Egypt were easy prey and Byzantium was the better target for an allied attack. It is all history now but I think it was a very good Diplo-War as it shows how in Diplo you can mirror what smaller nations have to try to do or face being marginalised. It failed but it was fun.

I should have been a bastard - I shall know next time.

If India had of been defeated all Incan cities would have been returned and recompense paid for damages.

back stabbing is where you write to an enemy of ours in secret and tell them things, that is back stabbing.

You agreed you did that as part of your character.

Persia had nothing to do with the entire Inca thing.
Neither did Persia backstab anybody. Persia only used other world leaders for it's own bigger plan.
But the fall of the Incan capital was something between Korea/England/Byzantium and India. Persia had nothing to do with it.

Finally I have to comment on the progress of our host over the years. Cyber was a low level civ in HOTW5 and each game since then he has bettered himself to the point of being an equal top of the top players.

So this is encouragement to all the other players from Warning U2 and up that if you study the game hard you can be at the top. But of course we can all still have fun playing at any level. I really got a buzz playing the 6/7th civ and the 14/15th civ. One advantage of not being a top threat is that you can get espionage on everyone whenever you like

I agree. I've been very impressed with CS' climb in skill. Should be very inspiring for all the struggling players. Keep working at it and you can one day be a force to be reckoned with.

[Robert]

[St Jon]

I never picked St Jon as Inca. I hated Inca in this game but really like St Jon!!

Why hate poor little Inca? She never did any harm and always adored Korean food.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Byzantium seemed too emotional and angry at times to fit the picture I had of The Priest

I think that is a compliment!

More to the point, I think that the general difficulty of certain identification shows that the role playing element works - the different nations and different leaders within those nations are not just transparent windows onto the player underneath. I know some do the role plalying thing more than others, and thats fine, but a good mix of it does keep the games fresh - not just repeats of the last. I'm certainly looking forward to a different approach in DoE.
