Silly Rules succession game

[Straybow]

Muahahahaha!

(BETTER get Mike’s!)

Hey, no weaseling allowed! If your society believes in human sacrifice you can't work around it. Hmmmmm…
Amendment: Happiness wonders must be built entirely by disbanding Set/Engrs (stockpile, switch to wonder, disband all in one turn)!!!

Edit:On further reflection I amend the Human Sacrifice Rule again to be not quite so extreme on the Happiness Wonders. Only one sacrifice per 70 shields cost should be required, rounded up. So,

200 = 3
300 = 5
400 = 6
600 = 9

This amounts to one sacrifice paired with each camel/freight worth of investment.

20 settlers to build Mike's....

Hmmm maybe happiness wonders won’t be a problem -- we’ll just have to capture them.

Looking at the tech tree, the first few techs seem reasonable -- Alpha, CB, BW & CL; however it looks a little different from my usual. Assuming no techs from huts or trade, I see the tree as:

1 Alphabet
2 Ceremonial Burial
3 Bronze Working
4 Code of Laws
5 Horseback Riding
6 Currency
7 Masonry
8 Construction
9 Map Making
10 Mysticism
11 Mathematics
12 Astronomy
13 Monarchy
14 Polytheism
15 Pottery
16 Seafaring
17 Navigation
18 Warrior Code
19 Feudalism
20 Iron Working
21 Bridge Building
22 Chivalry
23 Wheel
24 Engineering
25 Writing

I went through my tech chart & checked for the oedo factor -- Writing arrives as expected (63 techs have Writing as a direct or indirect prereq.

Only a few days brefore the game begins...

Maybe if we can just get Pottery just before Straybow’s set of turns…

If you let me in, my rule will be: 'one move' units can only move 'orthogonal'; 'two (and 3) moves' units can only move 'diagonal'

Just for clarification - will this rule apply when following rivers, roads and (if we ever get them) railroads?

If '1 move': you are allowed to press 2, 4, 8,or 6.
If '2 moves': you are allowed to press 1, 7, 9 or 3.
... as simple as that

(yet, I don't intend to prohibit the 'goto' command, ... or should I?)

Don't worry - be happy

rjm:

I've not noticed any problems, but do be aware, 'Poly does not endorse that patch.

Might want to edit your post before ming pays us a visit.

Ok, my rule is simple. After much thought. Until the development of leadership, all units built must have a defensive value equal to or greater than their offensive value.

Note the key word here is built

Fond memories
It was the longest game ever
No silly rules at the start, but it looks like the players did impose more than a few on themselves

[-Jrabbit]

Atomant proposes that, until dragoons, we build only settlers, dips, warriors, phalanx, and pikes.

Is that right,.a-man?

Edit: JULIUS appears!!! Welcome back, man!

Afterthought: of course I should

NO 'GOTO'

[atawa]

Wouldnt it be more fun to have every unit on mandatory goto/autosettlers?
