Difficulty Level

[Nubclear]

What should our difficulty be? It's our first demo game, maybe we shouldnt put it too high....but the AI may force us to go higher.

Librarian seems to be a fair challenge, but not to hard so that we can have fun and focus on all Democracy game conspiracies

I agree. Although I rpobably wont be playing. Instead, I'll be writing a newspaper.

You mean there's difficulty levels besides Trancend?

[Crisler]

With the number of skilled players in the group and slow determination of each turn for best effect I say set the challenge high and go for the highest level. Anything lower would make the game grow boring I fear.

I would also set to allow an eradticated faction to be re-born.

I beg you to transcend. As our Psych Chaplain Crisler says, anything less will be plain boring for me and many others. For those who aren't used to playing transcend, this would be an excellent opportunity to learn from other more experienced players.

i myself said thinker but i am against librarian because of the many skilled players

[Epistax]

I advise thinker. I suck at these kinds of games, but I can whoop the computer on Librarian. Now take into account that you will have discussions on what is best to do all the time. Librarian would be an easy sweep. Now the hardest difficulty would most likely slow the game down, so Thinker is a good midway.


Hi Tass.

thinker. thats what i play on SP and its probably the best setting here. we dont want the 2nd citizen to be a drone

I'm fine with Transcendent. I've been the game countless times on that level. Should also make for the most interesting game.

[AdamTG02]

I voted for Thinker as a compromise between those who want a high difficulty level and those who aren't comfortable on Transcend. If we set the difficulty level too high, less experienced players (like myself) might not feel that they can contribute.

*SIGH* Our first democracy game.....Are we sure we want the highest difficulty level of all?

Remember that we will probably be playing Peacekeepers with their free talents. Drone management won't be a problem AT ALL. We start with Biogenetics, so we can soon start production of the HGP if a majority is in favour. Just build a Rec Commons and we will even have Golden Ages at size 5.

[DeathByTheSword]

size 4 i just check it

EDIT:

i am playing PK on tracend right now and i have golden age with size 4 cities (with hgp)

[Maniac]

Even easier! It's only a shame that Golden Age population booms won't work under vanilla SMAC. Then we could be Demo + Green + Wealth with CC's and GA and be still booming with +2 Economy.
