Rate comments:

War and peace making definitely helps stories and diplomacy.

Highlights:
Ottoman: Good diplo (despite allies sacking you): 6, way too few stories (2), awesome attitude despite bad game position (7)

India: Awesome stories (7), awesome attitude, despite your strong position, you play a game and you don't just overrun everybody with you strength: 7, diplo: 6 (hard to rate, you make enemies for the sake of game)

Egypt: nice story atempts to avoid war (5), terrific diplo skills during war: 7

Korea: always stories about everything, always present in story thread: 7

Russia: Good story telling and attitude, (6,7), good diplo to get your war untouched by big powers: 7. 6 for story b/c lack of stories for a couple of weeks.

Most disappointed in Mali and Natives. Have been neutral 5000 years with India. Just too boring!!!

Byzantium: great storytelling, and great diplomacy. Hats off to the destruction of Shivali's invasion force, well played!

Persia: great storytelling as always, and remains a brilliant element in the game, Hastogianists are hilarious.

Inca: strange move to wage a sudden war against Egypt, as it was accompanied by almost no posts, and apparently few allies.

Russia: very good storytelling, very creative, cool!

[Rome (DoC)]

That depends on how you interpretate the tone of the written text
All posts above can be read as if it's a frustrated argument, but if you switch something in your head, it can also read as a couple of people who discuss game mechanics in a relaxed way.

The latter would be good, the first would not be good.

But Rome is right, it makes no sense to discuss all this now. New Gamerules can only be applied on new games, let's thus not discuss them in this thread which is about DoC.

@Korea:

too many loopholes if that what the game about, wow

Don't worry, I wasn't talking about a loophole.
You can just cover up unit gifting by giving not too much at the same time, especially during turns you just finished building a lot of new units. So don't worry, there aren't more exploits / loopholes, only smart gaming strategies here

Lots of here to show Rome that this is not a frustrated post

[Rome (DoC)]

I'm sorry for this outburst. I was a bit annoyed with other non-civ stuff and let it bleed through. I do feel that the discussions are getting to a point where we are not gaining any improved gameplay any more and are only venting frustrations.

Stop killing my joy in the game!

[Rome (DoC)]

if i upgrade your cross bow to machine gunner then i need to teach you how to use one

Thats part of the upgrade, I can't see your point. I don't have to know how to build a tank to be able drive one.
