This thread is for a second Succession Game - this time v2.42, Deity, Raging Hordes, Large World, 7 civs with no restart.

I have kicked off and am sending it to SilverDragon, who I suggest, passes it on to johnmcd.

I am willing to do the Web-site bit again - will someone else handle the collation of files and sorting out of time slots please???

Good luck all

Hi!

Deity/raging! Now that's more like it! Where do I sign up?

[kcbob]

The thought has occurred to me that if it was possible to cross platform/version differences, two teams could play the same game, a la an OCC challenge. That might prove interesting.

Good luck, y'all!

kcbob - MGE can load 2.42 saves, but not vice versa. It's too late now, but for the next round it would be possible to use a 2.42 game that everyone could play. Maybe a team competition?

Sounds good to me. This first one can be used as a "test" round. Wait a minute. If someone starts a game as 2.42 and sends it to me, an MGE player, will my saved game become "unusable" to a 2.42 player following me?

Yes, so I guess in such a game the 2.42 players should go first and the MGE players should finish the game.

My understanding is that the inital save would be generated in 2.42. Then there could be a team using exclusively 2.42 and a team that would take the initial 2.42 save and then load it in MGE. effectively making it a 2.42 team and an MGE team

Why limit it to two teams? Properly advertised, this could become a big deal, with people recruiting teams. Imagine Ming, RAH, and Xin Yu on the same team! Or Paul and Tom DeMille anchoring the perfectionist team. Lots of possibilities.

[Paul]

It could be a competition between playing styles with an OCC team, a perfectionist team and an ICS team. Or any other strategy you could come up with.

[kcbob]

This really could get big, couldn't it? I can see it now...

"Tomorrow night on ESPN... Team MGE/OCC vs Team 2.42/ICS. And don't forget to log into Apolyton and fill in your "Fantasy Civ2 Team" rosters before the "Win a Plymouth Civ2 Voyager" contest deadline ends."

Maybe?

Civ2 in the Olympics?

[Shadowstrike]

This has nothing to do with the topic... but this is the first time I've seen someone use one of my threads as a sig...

[Scouse Gits]

Can I play for both the 2.42 OCC team and the MP ICS team please?

Back on topic - SilverDragon where are you are you playing????
