Welcome, skrobism...

[Daddy-O]

Thanks

[$TaLuHgPad]

I am newbie here ,so can you describe me how you play Civ2 online ? (as I know , there is no such option in standart Civ2). And what should I do to join this game ?

[Ben Kenobi]

That's basically it.

You post in this thread to join.

Welcome Taluhgpad.

$TaLuHgPad - Welcome to the game. As Ben Kenobi said, you state your intention to participate and you are in. Just post about the game, vote in polls, etc.

[$TaLuHgPad]

Ok guys thx, so I simply play in game and then send you you my savs ?

[cavebear]

The only person who actually plays the game is the elected leader (Ben Kenobi for September). Citizens are forbidden to play ahead.

The process is that the leader plays a session (usually 8-10 turns) and posts the save so Citizens can see the new siuation. The Ministers post polls about what to do next, the Citizens vote, and the Ministers sent the recommendations to the leader to be used as the basis for play in the next session session.

The normal process has been upset lately. I had to resign as Consul in July for personal reasons and no one else could take over at the time. We are just getting the game re-started now.

i want to hang with you guys

dont think that just cause of my age i am a baby drooling all over my clothes....please i pray for everyone here...thank you

[cavebear]

Welcome planter008 - Interest, skill, and ability to discuss game conditions are what are important here (though praying or not praying aren't). We don't mind that you are a drooling old fart... (just kidding).

But since you brought up age, how old are you? Most people here are college age, a few of us are substantially older (I'm 50ish), and some are teens.

What you post is what you are! Enter the discussions, post, give advice, and build a reputation... No citizenship forms to fill out at all!

hmmm that must be why this place is slow


i totally missed this demo game,but why is it an OCC island again for next game?and how are these settings decided?

[cavebear]

The current game started on an isolated island, but it isn't a OCC game. We have established colony cities on the mainland. Right now, the game is on hold pending sufficient available playrs who can act as President and Ministers.

[Kataphraktoi]

it is my understanding you did not leave for some time,so it was played as an OCC for some time,correct?im not sure how else you would play...

[cavebear]

It was not so much an OCC game as a handicap we placed on ourselves as a challenge. We wanted to see how well we could build a city with limited resources (but not necessarily an OCC) before we allowed ourselves to expand.

Quite frankly, it was harder than we had anticipated. It took us much longer to colonize after the year we permitted for that. The AI developed much more than we expected and they are far more advanced than we are.

While we have managed some strategies to deal with our disadvantages, this is definately the hardest challenge we have set for ourselves. I think we are collectively at a loss for how to proceed at this point.

If you have any ideas, please feel free to open a new thread. We definately need some fresh thinking!

[Kataphraktoi]

sure i have an idea put cities 2 tiles apart on the mainland and use em to rush howitzers and attack like crazy before the AI spaceship goes!

rally support for a new game then if this one is dead.no point crying over lost milk.
