Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

If we would do civ switching I am also prepared to step in.

Ok so i will install the game tomorrow and will be ready to get back to it if you guys wish to end the game. I prefer to take back only the frozen vikings. Can the current vikings get Germany?

This is my type of man!

Once Civ, always Civ!

Come on, ex- and latter Vikings!

And all of you other - beware! The Vikings are here! And they are multiplicating!

Hey, to avoid this thread from getting side tracked I moved the comments about civ-switching to a new thread:

Actually I tried to start a game a bit ago where things shuffled even more. Every 50-100 turns everyone would switch civs. This would not only shuffle up the alliance system it'd give everyone a chance to see the game from different perspectives, get less emotionally attached to their civ, and allow the very different skill levels in the game balance each other out.

Oh, my ... I was thinking I am going nut when I though that if the game is about to fall apart, it can be life-saving belt to random switch the civs between the players. This is what I meant in my earlier post today -

Hahah!!!! I have even weirdest idea than the 30 turns universal NAP and the erasing of the memories about old alliances, but I wont tell it yet

Come on, guys, lets finish this game.

But if I have to part with my suffered-each-single-tile Rus, I dont know will I be able to bear this. Just now I understand how much I am attached to the nation I created...

Ottoman: you have a good point, but in my opinion it is detrimental to the game that playing as an independent is the same as playing as fodder. I have always felt that there is a certain "gentleman's agreement" to play fairly and treat weaker civs if not with kindness, then at least not with a heavy hand. I could easily tie myself to an alliance for most of the game, but I honestly do not see much fun in that. We are playing Civilizations, not alliances


Also, what Vikings said in his long post. that is how the game seemed to rest of us, 9-10 civs allied, with 3-4 of the top civs as leaders. Nothing showed any sign of this not being the case. Even if the rest of the world had allied against you you would still be dominant.

If you feel like taking it over then please do. It sounds like many of the others want to continue. I feel bad for quitting, but I just don't think diplo is my type of game.

However just know that much of my strength is currently owned by Neandor. I can give you a rundown of what we've been up to.

If you want to take over Neandor too I can give you the password for it, once I find it again. As for France, he will be back on the 19th. Not sure if he will want to continue or not, but you'd have to play for him until he does come back.

Toni running ALL the Axis?

Guys if the Vikings people wish for their ancient ruler to return I will load up the game tomorrow which I did delay 5 months ago I would finish what I started here.

Then get on it!


And I hope everyone is keeping track of who is playing which civ, and at which times. At the end of each diplogame I post in the DiploFAQ thread a list of all the civs and all their players. But anonymous makes it much harder! So don't forget!

Ugh.. so many things I want to answer to, but until I write those up, a new post needing answer comes

I'll give it a shot anyway

[OzzyKP]

Yea, I understand. Sorry to see you go though.

Maybe we can have a free for all over the remains of abandoned civs?

[Vikings (DoE)]

I'm just not good for this type of game, nor is this type of game good for my emotions. That is why I quit, not because of our game-situation.
