Seriously Tricky Sticky Game

No canals?

At least I didn't have to make anybody wait. I got to see Les Mis for Valentine's Day… too bad I have no Significant Other to go along.

Did everyone see that part? I was expecting some response.

[Scouse Gits]

I saw it - it seemed a perfectly fair statement of the facts...

Reduced to quoting yourself, Doc ? You will have to invent an alter ego.

[DrSpike]

Sorry, no SG wonder for me.

Besides at least by quoting myself I can get an intelligent discussion going.

Clearly you're new to our succession games, Doc... we've progressed to the point where only insults of the highest standard of creativity merit a response

Reminder to the Academy...

All Ais have been augmented to have two pairs of settlers to start and are all allied with each other.

Rules:

Reputation must remain Spotless throughout

Win by conquest - the bloodlust flag has NOT been set - the AI can build a spaceship

Only one change of government allowed and that is Despotism to Democracy

We set this up via a scenario so the tech tree is open

Oh - its a Giga map 180x180, small land mass, archipelago.

Since we've spent basically 4 millenia trying to learn Democracy, it seemed a good time to renew our vows to the current Rules of the Academy.

Another reminder...

Reputation Hits:
1) Cancel an alliance or steal from an ally.
2) Breaking a peace treaty or stealing tech when at peace.
3) Breaking a cease fire agreement. I think you are OK stealing science during a cease fire … can somebody confirm this one?
4) Spy with a nuke in her knickers … does this count as a hit even if at war?

No Reputation Hits:
1) Bribing a city and paying double.
2) Stealing/Capturing/Bribing from a Civ you've never met or with whom you have no agreement.

JRabbit, a few clarifications:

1. Stealing science can lead to war with a nation during a ceasefire, or may not. If it leads to war, then we take a reputation hit. I wouldn't want to risk sacrificing our spotless reputation in this way.

2. A spy with a nuke in her knickers will cause us to go to war with every other nation on the board. If we have peace with one nation, that peace treaty will be broken, hence a reputation hit as well.

The only time we will be allowed to nuke another city is if we are at war with everyone. In this situation, I think a better use of cash would be to simply invade...

Dr. Spike:

Calling a leader a barbarian has little force unless already a Democracy. Barbarians are honoured and respected in a Despotism.

Any progress on the game?

Many apologies... I made the mistake of wandering into the OT Forum...

Foolish tourist!

Hoping you can get something posted soon. I fly to NYC Friday (for the Grammy Awards! ) and don't return until Monday. If I don't have time before departure, I'll trade turns with whoever is next in line...
