Would anyone want to do this?

[My Wife Hates CIV]

Over on the Roller Coaster Tycoon site I visit some people pass a park around for a group effort thing as far as building goes.

Perhaps a group playing a CIV game would be fun. One person starts, plays a number of years, passes it on to the next person and so on. Anyone done that here yet??

Anyway... would anyone want to? I find myself getting a little burned out on CIV and unable to finish a game. So this might be another fun way to play.

Sounds like a plan. I already do that with SimCity...or at least I used to, don't play that too much anymore.

CivII isn't the same as Sim though...

And of course the people in the modern times will have more work than the people playing the ancient times. And strategy might have to be agreed upon, or you'll have someone taking over a civ, making it great, then the next guy screws it up...but that does sound like it adds an element of successorship to it.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

Now see. That's a good post Mao. I knew you could do it.

Well... if anyone wants to we'll start a list of names. Post if you want to and we'll setup some date ranges.

hey, what a great new idea for an old game

[johnmcd]

Sounds like a nice idea MWHC. I would be into it. I think it would have to be done so strategies wouldn't be agreed in advance to make it more like a real succession. I guess something like 'We'll win by AC' could be settled on up front though.

Which version would be played though?

I have CivII+ whatever the most recent patch is and I would fancy buying MGE or whatever just for this.

I'll play a few hundred years. Each person when they finish their regine should write up a brief history of what they did, and what they planned, the conditions and ideals for the section they played.

This would be an awesome idea.

I think I'd quite like a slice of this ...

Great idea, MWHC! I request a time slot early in the game - my nightmare would be managing 200 cities from 1980-2000 while the spaceship makes its flight...

[My Wife Hates CIV]

alright, I came up with the idea so someone make the time ranges based on how many people we have now (and probably a couple of extra). put me in there anywhere.

if someone wants to take on the job!

I think it would better it were regularly rotated rather than you run it from 4000-1000,you 1000-1-you 1-500 etc.Something like 10 turns then send it on.

[DaveV]

Smash - good idea, but 10 turns is a little quick in the early game, where not much is happening. How about 20-25 turns for everyone's first time in the driver's seat, then 10 turns from there on?

[Scouse Gits]

Sounds great to me ...

Something like that.A constantly changing face may add some fun to it.

One player might ics for their 20 turns.A perfectionist might be next followed by someone who gets involved in military conflict.I can see each player cleaning up the previous players "mess"

note-I don't think I should get involved as cross platforming may get too complicated for you pc users

[My Wife Hates CIV]

I was thinking of something longer than 20 turns... I play 20 turns in about 20 seconds.

[DaveV]

How about something like this (with suitable changes for more or less than 10 players)?

4000BC-3050BC (20 turns) Player 1
3000BC-2050BC (20 turns) Player 2
2000BC-1050BC (20 turns) Player 3
1000BC-525BC (20 turns) Player 4
500BC-25BC (20 turns) Player 5
AD1-AD280 (15 turns) Player 6
AD300-AD580 (15 turns) Player 7
AD600-AD880 (15 turns) Player 8
AD900-AD1180 (15 turns) Player 9
AD1200-AD1480 (15 turns) Player 10
AD1500-AD1600 (10 turns) Player 1
AD1600-AD1700 (10 turns) Player 2
AD1700-AD1758 (10 turns) Player 3
AD1760-AD1778 (10 turns) Player 4
AD1780-AD1798 (10 turns) Player 5
AD1800-AD1818 (10 turns) Player 6
AD1820-AD1838 (10 turns) Player 7
AD1840-AD1854 (10 turns) Player 8
AD1855-AD1864 (10 turns) Player 9
And et cetera, till end of game
