OOPS! I was hoping, but....

well at least we can play on this level. who's the first to win on God Hates You OCC?

anyone want to try the headstart scenario on one of these?

I just tried it to get plastered. I got a fast growing high production city, and started the collossus, It was halfway done when I got the message that some other civ had started the Collossus. I hurried as much as I could, but they had it done 4 turns before I would have. not knowing what else to do, I built HG, and happiness became less of a problem. until the zulus conquered my capitol and all my cities went into disorder at once!

the High barbs setting is fun. I check the top 5 cities to see how I'm doing, and at one point I saw berlin was number 1, with 4 citizens. a while later, Berlin was number 3, with 3 citizens, and it was now a barbarian city!!

I may get back to the difficulty levels some time, but all my games from now on are going to be at LEAST barbarian wrath, if not sands of the sea...

You know I reported this in the creation forum a while back...
Around the time I registered my acount actually, now I would have posted it in the sleague forum, annyway you should keep a look on those other forums as well, I remember explaining how to play as barbarians whitout doing any hexediting somewhere to...
I allways use that to place barbarian cities in scenarios...

Another way of going about the business is to increase the AI abilities without making it noticably harder on you. tweak the COSMIC PRINCIPLES in rules.txt to show that 9 is city size for first unhappiness at chieftan. then you can start a game at deity +2, and you won't notice much difference from playing at deity.
at least until the zulus come and plaster you to the ground.

the AI gets an added advantage also in unhappiness almost never bothers them. see if you can beat that, you civ masters we are supposedly in awe of...

Father beast, this is a splendid idea! We can have the same familiar deity happiness settings at deity +2 but the AI will be growing/producing at much faster rate. Actually this is exactly what I wanted when I originally was pursuing for 'Super Deity'. Given the fact that there is a bug in program code which handles those double-unhappy black faces. So, who want to take this challenge?

Hey Xin Yu, you didn't know I had changed the names of some of the wonders in rules.txt, heh?

ANYWAY, I just played a game on deity +4, and cheated outrageously just to stay in the game without the french hordes wiping me out! I wanted to see how far ahead of the game all the AI civs got.
Got my wish, though I felt pretty pathetic when my exploring trireme was passed by a battleship in 780 AD.

in 1782, the americans built Da Nuke Project.

in 1811, the americans built apollo, neck and neck with the babylonians

in 1840, the americans launched, and arrived in 1858 on AC. Game Over.

at one point, I had set my science to zero, and my trade advisor said I got advances every 4236 turns!

The americans and babylonians were having a bitter war at the same time as their space race.

I found size 40 cities in the top 5 regularly, but when I checked them they were experiencing massive hunger. go figure.

The french conquered one of my cities, and when I cheated a stack of howies and took it back, almost all the improvements were gone, and pop had gone down.

the game sure acts funny at this level, I could swear that there were times I filled my food box and it reset , but I didn't gain a pop point.
so I figure the AI advantages are considerable at this level. I sometimes got announcements that someone had started a wonder 4 turns before it was done. Gak.

[Father Beast]

Oh yeah. At deity +4, I had my first citizen content, but when I built my second city, my first citizen was unhappy. seems the riot factor has been upped, too

[Father Beast]

I just played a game on deity +4, with standard deity level unhappiness.

in 1500 BC, I saw that 2 of the top 5 cities were size 5, both roman.
between 1500 and 1000 BC, Wonders grew like mad. the Library, Ming Gardens, Collosus, Great Wall, and Pyramids all went up.
650 BC I saw that of the top 5 cities, 3 were size 8, and 1 was size 11, but was in civil disorder.
600 BC Zulu Elephants came and wiped me out.

Got to try that again sometime and see If I can last longer. What a rush!

Marko, I'm going to look over Paul's OCC guide and see how I do at +1. in another +2 game I had, I actually built a wonder!
OCC is what I'd try, since I don't have the patience to be an ICSer.
Of course, I still haven't beaten OCC at king yet...

Not as good as when I had the game with cities 100+ all over unfortunately. This is the frontline of mongols vs the world on diety +5

(server might be a little slow for some) AI was slower growing this time around for some reason

Good eye , thats odd. Probably just a graphic glitch. I sure as heck didnt make any boats do that.

[Father Beast]

The game starts getting goofy at these levels. notice the city of Kazan is a size 32 with only 2 squares that have irrigation. somebody want to explain that?

[drake]

or how about the fact that it says 60,000 for popultaion in the status bar...............

Smells fishy........
