7 Player game signup.

[markusf]

I want to start a 7 player SIM game with the following rules.

1x 1x
no caravans to other civs
no trading techs/stealing techs
no capture of techs on city capture
huge map
no wonders(?)
no allainces.
Blood lust turned on. Lets see how intense this game can get with 7 players having nukes tanks and planes and all moving at the same time... No better way to test the limits of the game... And if all goes well this will only take 3 sessions max!!! who wants to play?

basically pluel rules as a simul game...

[weird god]

how is it possible to deny to get a tech when capturing a city?

[markusf]

simple turn it off in scenario options

I would play , but 1 x 1 is so boring, why not play it 2 x 2. Plus there are other things that you have left out. Namely the two things that ruin most games and make them uncompetitive, huts and starting position. I have created a game that could be called revolotionary and is listed under my thread " recruiting Players * a must read* ". A no tech trade/stealing or from conquest additional rule might be interesting.
Also simultanious moves when attacking is involved gives the host alot of advantages. It also makes precise city micro-management much harder. Simultanious games are also big lag mongeurs and is not all that its cracked up to be.
But when used properly, I.E. no attacking, no massive movement, just allowing all civs to negotiate and work citys at the same time it can really speed up games. Then just change format to turn based movement for the waring part of the game.

And by the way, no wonder games add a **** load more strategy to the game and are the only way civ 2 should be played.

2x2x sucks. It requires no skills what so ever to play. All you need to do is build caravans and settlars. you will be at 2 turns a tech for the first half of them game, then your at 1 turn a tech...

I have no problems finishing a 7 player game in 8 hours on 1x. Its a hell of a lot more fun when you don't have unlimited resources and trade. not to mention you don't have rediculus units that attack over 4 squares.

Sounds interesting except...
why no techs conjuering... my gosh look at WWII techs to the winners.
Why no caravans to other civ's? Never heard of that 1 & that again is very realistic to trade.
No wonders would be good, especially if the tech rules remain as written. The big tech rushes so as to big certainkey wonders would be taken away = a truely desorting situ aften.

How's that sound U all?

Because if you know your doing, you can set your cash to 80% 0 science 20% luxeries in dem, and make about a $1000 on average per caravan per turn and get 1 turn a tech. I can't think of a more unbalencing force in the game.

[Crustacian]

Are you saying that initial cash bonus is related somehow to your tax setting among other things? It can't be, but then again you never know till you ask hehe.
Or just that you set taxes to buid caravans and easily recoupe it?

[markusf]
