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

[India (DoC)]

If it's true that Byzantium, India, Korea and England are now helping the Egyptians, then I call for a pause of the game because that really is unrealistic AND very unfair.

My ships enroute were damaged in a storm so they went for repair to a Mali city...

So no I did not actually intervne for the reasons we've talked about..

But, on the other hand Inca's attack was quite unrealistic.. they know how many allies/friends Egypt has yet they didnt try to get better position in diplo

[India (DoC)]

This free trade rule was made to help lessen the distance between the top and lower civs and it does so, but it doesn't make wonders..
I still think we should give away free vouchers to get better result, a more balanced game. I've thought of a system which is objective since based only on ingame score. In short in every month we give points to every civ and when they have enough they can "buy" a voucher from it. These points are proportional with the relative difference from the top score (details below). The only question how much would one voucher cost, how many do we give away/month. (IMO calculating for the first 6 months it should be 0->4 vouchers/per civ so far)




I write how I would calculate, I strongly suggest you skip this part :

1, actual score= ingame score+ X*remaining vouchers
Every tech worths some points, those who have more vouchers left relatively have bigger potential score. an ancient tech worths 6 points, a classical 12, a medieval 18 and so on. X is the point worth of the not yet free tech category, currently it would be renaissance and 24 points/vouchers.

2. Substract each score from the highest actual score, these are the relative scores (the no1 civ has 0, the smaller civs have more, and the bigger the difference is the more points they will get)

3, Divide 100 points proportional to those scores, and round them.

4, I think one voucher should cost 20-25 points, something like that

Rasputin, can you please elaborate why you voted 'no'?
Is it because of the way I depicted your suggestion? Or perhaps something else?

Whislt my persona lsuggeastion would not have got Ozzys support, what ypu osted ws not what i wanted.

You see if someone wants to manipulate themseves to a lower score to enable free trading each sessn then that person is not herefor the right reasons , i wanted to see if anyone would try to find the loopholes so i could take notice of the type of people here.

If thry would do somethign so obvious imagine what they doing that is less obvious in loop hole finding and mnaipulation

Ir scares me to think that a GAME has become so important to some that even thinking of making sure they werent in top 5 at the era change that shows what kind of player they are

So no I didnt support a rule that became harder to manage , i know Robert is quite capable of checking who was i ntop 5 etc etc bu he shouldnt have to it would hav ebeen so easy to do it as an instantaneous snapshot.

Also, I never called for a vote on the iss, it was very obvious that no one would support a way of preventing the top 5 civs from gainng Free Techs.

I would prefer a rule chnge that says the top 5 civs must give freely all techs frm the 2 Era lower to all other Civs.

but i dont cal lfor vote o nthat either

It wouldnt matter if i suggested lets give every player a million dolalrs in real life some civs wold still vote no becasue i raised the issue.

Vote update:
Yes: Rome
No: Egypt, Korea, Arabia, Natives, Britannia
Abstain: Persia, India, Inca

Yes: 1 (6,66% of all, 11% of votes)

No: 5 (40% of all, 55% of votes)

Abstain: 3 (20% of all, 33% of votes)

This means that the rule-change proposal can get at most 7 'yes' votes out of 12 (3 abstain), which equals 58%.
This means that the suggestion fails to get the required 66% of the votes.

Rasputin, can you please elaborate why you voted 'no'?
