Any interest in an EC comparison game?

[jolburke]

Hi all,

This Apolyton site has some facinating posts , but no recent contests. Is there any interest in a comparison game? Either Early Conquest or Early Landing, or both in one game. I'd be interested in playing and comparing results with some of the Apolyton Legends.

Regards.

I play very infrequently these days, but in the cause of maintaining interest in these Civ2 pages, I would participate. I expect to make a strong bid for the wooden spoon. I have a pref for 2.42 rather than MGE.

Yes, it would be great to bring some legends back. I'd participate in an EC game.

Wooden spoon?

I'm not exactly a legend, and haven't played in forever But I'd be willing to give a comparison game a try. I've got both 2.42 and MPG lying around somewhere so wouldn't be limited to the platform.

Given how l played in the past, I'd be less likely to embarrass myself in an early landing than a early conquest, but then I once let my city in a OCC get captured too

So that's what my signature used to be

figured I ought to try and win a conquest game since I can't remember the last time I played one. Doing decent, all things considered, but didn't realize I had restarts on and missed out on both HG and MPE, so I'm around 1300 AD with 4 civs left with a combined 2 cities out there somewhere. succumbed to JOMT syndrome too, and can't ever remember sending 10 crusaders against a walled city before after 4 diplomats only succeding in sabotaging production.

I guess this idea has died ?

Anyone that wants an EC comparison game can go to CFC and play in their Civ2 GOTM. Unfortunately, the number of players there has dwindled to about 5 per month, and some of them play for landing/etc instead.

I haven't played in the last couple, but would probably play again if someone posted a "challenge" or whatever.

The bad news is you'd have to play by CFC rules (no van-rehoming, for example). If anyone wants to write their own rules, they'll need to start a separate game, maybe here.
