Has anyone thought about some diplogaming missionary activity?
We've got a pretty small player pool here to be honest. And while I think its pretty damn cool, I'm sure most of Apolyton has never heard of diplogames.
Since we've got a very worthy successor of HOTW2 going now, this may be the time to try and drum up interest in the genre. If anyone even thinks this is worth doing. I think it'd be cool if we had like half a dozen different diplogames going all the time. I don't like to think that all the stories we craft with such care are only being read by 7 people.
Lets see if we can drum up more of an audience.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

Raz, you said you didn't mind where you started! The stories are more importantOriginally posted by Rasputin
now that maeks me laugh truly,,,,, whilst not wanting to debate your paln openly here, i would say it was always your intention to grab as much of europe as you could and sail to americas as soon as you achieved map making, knowing that your starting position would give you ealriest oppurtunity to get there.
choice of starting lcoation was vital in this game. my choice was going t obe great, i was going to head east and grab as much of asia minor and possibly further that i could, but not being able to play first session ended all my dreams.
ozzy started on a small island, a challenging start. And he went for Europe before running out of space and heading West."Old age and skill will overcome youth and treachery. "

i stil ldont care where i started, what i meant to say was that each starting location had its own critical begiinnings that needed to be done. Ozzys meant map making and americas were important as he would soon meet serbs.
for egyptians it was absolutly essentil i expand eastwards and take as much as possible.
unfoprtuanlty for me, i am the only one that didnt get to do the start they wanted and so am left only with the stories, the game is over for us, unlike ozzy my poor start in number of cities will never catch up to the others, but provided people continue to post storys and paly as a diplo game i will enjoy this as well as i can.
i did think i was offered pyramids but in re reading the thread i wasnt so i mistkenly was building them but wasted all my sheilds there too. another mistake on my part.... keep making it hard on my self, also not knowing revolutuion years my civ wil lnow be in revolt for a while.GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71Comment

But we kept all of Northern Africa available for you (it's better than you realise - lots of coastal cities with Harbours); gave you 5 extra settlers after AI bad start, I gave you a settler, Berz gave you a city, you successfully destroyed a Tartar city and built in the ME, you got lots of extra techs from me and Serbs....Originally posted by Rasputin

Your basis for a civ is just as good as any I reckon

Stop whining Raz! I'll give you a settler in South America as promised. You can start building your empire from there.
The attached picture is the real life St. Sava's Cathedral, still under construction (the biggest cathedral in the Balkans). I would like Mike renamed to St. Sava's Cathedral and this image used. Could you fix it Frank? If the image is inappropriate, could you tell me what kind of pictures would be good.Attached FilesLast edited by Ljube; October 31, 2003, 04:27.Comment

You can still catch up Raz. At the end of last session you had 8 cities I had 9. Thats only a difference of one, if you expanded at the same rate I did you would have been up to 13 now. And thats not including all the foreign help. Didn't you get a settler from the Serbs and the Azande last session? Plus a city from Berzerker? So 8+3=11. Since you have 12 cities right now, that means during the entire session last week you only built 1 city on your own. You can step that up.
As Deity said, you've got all of North Africa, not the best land in the world, but you can work with it. Lots of ocean access unlike the Tartars. You also should send a ship down to Australlia or the islands around it. Plus with the settler Ljube gives you in S. America you could have your finger in every pot. Just expand like mad and you will be good.
Also, compare this to HOTW2. Basically you've got all the land of the Mali and half the land of Israel. As I recall you did pretty damn well for yourself as Israel in HOTW2. Imagine if you had all of N. Africa too.
As for my start, it wasn't that great. I maintain it was worse than yours. The only difference is I was there for all the sessions, and you missed the first two. The most important thing in the early game is exploring. I couldn't do much of that at all since I was trapped on my small island. By the time I got mapmaking and landed someone in Europe Ljube had popped half the huts in W. Europe already. Exploring further was pretty much out of the question, all the great huts in Asia were taken by the Serbs, Tartars & Chinese.
This gave everyone a good tech lead, more cities, more money to build more cities, etc. Because of this I've been behind much of the game. In fact for much of the game I was 7th in population, behind even the Egyptians!
Now I'm doing my best to better my situation. I'm still near the bottom in terms of size and power, but I'm growing. All without charity too.
Ok, I've said my piece.
As for stories, come on slackers. Post!

Ok here's the new package with wonder mods and fixed oracle. Enjoy.Comment

My cities still aren't European, and Oracle has polytheism as its starting tech rather than Mysticism. Fine by me if that's what everyone wants, but its different than standard. And it expires at Theory of Gravity, I thought we decided Industrialization?Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

When I load up the scenario your cities look european....am I wrong?Comment

Hmm, thats strange. They look like bronze monolyth to me. What does everyone else see?
Also, since we aren't using the classical building set, we should find a use for it. How about we get Deity some subsaharan african huts. And then since Raz would be the only one using the bronze set, we could get him some mideastern theme.
Just thoughts. I could look for some options for you if you want, Frank.Captain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

didnt get a setler from serbs lst session ozzy as where he was sending it i already had a city and he went away . the settler from azande was given late in game and was given to me agai nwhere i already had a city so actually apart from the city that the peaceful indians gave me i built all the others.
as for building ship to sail aroud world, by the time i build boat and then a settler and then sail to australai or other islands, i am sure others that are already there will have taken the best lands anyway
besides, the MAN had us building some stupid big army to kill the infidels that slowed me down too. I reaally got to get control of my split personality !!!!GM of MAFIA #40 ,#41, #43, #45,#47,#49-#51,#53-#58,#61,#68,#70, #71Comment
