Huge Game.

[markusf]

only rules are the ones i listed. (since we are going turn based attacking is fine, but i prefer if people didn't start a war early prolong turns...)


tech paradigm won't change...

We should be good to go.

I've responded to the request for civ/player assignments (from another thread). I trust they will be satisfactory. However, it seems to me that you need a good map to give everyone an honest start (and you are all on your own after that), of course). I can make one in about 2 hours. with everyone having no extra techs and you all starting in balanced terrain.

I just need to know what settings and whether you want huts, continents vs islands etc, or not.

I've just looked on the map. I must say it's so silly,but if everyone wants to play on it,so be it.

I also prefere no tech trading,you wanna tech - steal it as every honest person do

Why not embassies? What difference does it make? I like to play with foreign minister when waiting for my turn. It's my only fun once i stop micromanaging (am not saying mm-ing is fun).

Do I have to unzip that map in some particular directory or I can leave it where it is (eurodip scenario) ?

Please everybody confirm your intention to play on friday 6PST.

SF embasies was only a suggestion. Tech trading will be open for debate depending on how fast the game progresses...

Everyone has already confirmed they can play and that they will be there.... And no there will be no need for anyone to make a folder etc... I will convert the .mp file to a .scn and off we go...

I'm against caravans to other civs. A few other proposed rules are borderline exceptional, but caravans to other civs has to go.

SF will you consider simul moves just for the first few millenia? On such a huge map and with 1x movement there will be little to no war in this period, and we can all agree on no attacking first contact, turn based respected if you choose war after that.

ya caravans to other civs is bad... especially with me arri and nappy right next to each other. we would have spaceflight by the time the rest of the people got invention


I removed all the huts and made the map file a SCN. You won't need this file to play

[Rasputin]

why no caravans to foreign civs.. surely that is integral to civ 2 philosophy, but that is just my opinion , it is after all your game

[arii]

Caravans! caravans! The persians want caravans.

me and arii know how to rape the trade system. making 10,000 gold a turn + 3 techs a turn doesn't make it fun for everyone else.

[Berzerker]

Okay, no tech trading and none of this phony "conquering" back and forth of border cities

And none of this congenial tech stealing either... If we are going to play with rules designed to isolate each civilization's progression, then let's play by the rules and the spirit in which they were made

[Berzerker]

Oh btw, I'd like to have a chance in this game. Do you guys build factories/manufacturing plants, etc. in most of your cities or do you just rush buy caravans?

[markusf]

No caravans
no city swappings like that....
only apollo is allowed.
no SDI (allows for cruise missles to be used)
nothing that would be considered a cheat
no tech trading
no huts
no city bribing

we will go over the rules in the game.



we have 7 players. This means that even if you are far behind its easy to catch up. For instance makeo could be fighting the greeks, then load up a bunch of dips and sail to persia and go tech stealing....

[SmartFart]

No caravans at all or to foreign civs?

SDI's should be allowed. You may use cruise missiles on ships or field troops. I am still waiting to see one in my game. So far I've seen fighters and battleships.

Berz...some cities should have factories. All of them if possible

[markusf]

to foriegn civ...

if SDI is in, aren't all missles in a city radius destroyed?
