A Classical Diplo?

Ugh, I can't even spell grateful now?

Hey Oz, the corruption level seems awfully high, the scenario plays like deity, not emporer. My cities are revolting at size 1...

[Berzerker]

I just played about 2,500 years and noticed there were no wonders available to build and aquaducts required to go beyond size 4 cities. Btw, I played at King instead of emporer because of the elevated corruption effectively making emporer behave like deity...

[deity]

My scn is just a suggestion. It's not the final result. I don't mid if everything changes. I was just trying to creatively contribute.... see it as a parallel suggestion.

Can't we have a bit of free flow thinking here? !

I didn't have that problem Berz. At the moment it doesn't belong in a scn folder. It should be tested at the root civ2 folder level as a std scn.

You must be playing with this scn file in that folder where we had the small Earth game. Dang set up special rules and units for that scn (like Aquas needed past size 4)

That pack was designed for small games. Also it must have been the orginal version, since I got rid of that increased riot factor very quickly! Riot factor should stay at 14 and definately not move.

Deity gets all the credit (and seemingly more so, blame) for this one. I was busy getting a*s raped by Z, Rah, and Kaak last night when Deity was working on this stuff. So its not me.

If Frank wants in, or would be so kind to help out I suggest him setting up a good mod for this. Cause that's his specialty.

So as I understand it the cast currently is:

Babs - Berzerker
Carts - Deity
Spainish - Zylka
Egyptians - Makeo
Gauls - Atawa
Greeks - Ozzy
Romans - ..... someone want to revive the great Roman empire?

Ok, Berz, I've got no problem with making 134, 60 an ocean square. What say the rest of you?

And is that the best spot for the Spanish to start? Seems more of a Portugaul start than Spanish. But I suppose its Zylka's call.

Now that I'm looking at it, the map looks pretty good. Even got the civ names right. Good job Deity. Heh, though y'all should have heard it last night. It took him like 20 minutes of me walking him through before he found the "select AI opponents" option in start up. Hehe.

But I think things look good. As for the desert in southern Africa, that was planned all along Z. You can check out my first post or two in this thread. I hadn't done it yet, cause I was debating on whether to make it desert or just stick powerful barbarians down there. But this way is simplier I guess.

[Frank Johnson]

Ill take Romans based on when the time rolls out. I doubt Ill be able to do anything else on saturdays (US time) besides HOTW4.....

[Frank Johnson]

If you guys are going to touch specialized units again, let me suggest this. Do not increase the primary stat of any unit, or the movement of any unit. That being, we don't want any 3 def phalanx or 3 attack horsemen.

Also, this being an anicent scenario, on a large map, I don't understand why we'd want these special units, since if past diplo games have taught us anything then its that warfare usually doesn't take place early on on large maps.

[Zylka]

I would like the Spanish to start at 31, 31 for a traditional Madrid placement. Please give Berz his ocean square request too, for a good port city. Cheers

I have been looking at this game and may be willing to play, however I will not be very flexible on time, I do not want a game on Sunday or Sat daytime/ evening. However Sat/Sun morning early would be fine (ie evening FridaySaturday night GMT time). As I often rise early for work during the week, an early rise is suitable on Sat/Sun mornings, I would like a session to end by 9.30 am (Aust EST time)which is probably currently about 11pm GMT I think

Did you really have to say this!!?? The scn is great and looks even better now that I'm sober...

[OzzyKP]

OF COURSE i had to say that.
