RAH rules: Description and Origination of

[rah]

Naw, I want to leave oracle in. I've seen it built twice after it has already expired. It's always such a laugh i'd hate to have to tell them it's against the rules.

War4 "we need to back out"
Rah "why"
War4 "Ming built the Oracle"
Rah " "
War4 "should we back out"
Rah "Its against the rules, lets back out"
Ming " i didn't read the updated rules, comeone i am getting killed here"
Rah "rules are rules"
*everyone backs out"
*Ming builds Oracle again*

@ war4

But you forgot the "THIS BLOOOWWWWWWS"

actually some times oracle is not such a bad buy.....theology isn't always a high tech choice in our games so i guess we should leave it in there

[Ming]

This blows... This is the worst land I've ever seen... no huts... all plains and mountains... and the only specials I've seen so far are coal and fish...

Oh... this isn't king chat...

Yeah... I've noticed that Theology seems to be coming later and later in our games. If you just get beat out of HG early, orcale doesn't look that bad at all.

But I have this sneaking suspicion that if someone actually built oracle, theology might become a higher priority just to pimp the person.

In our games... you bet

However... if the first person that gets to mono and builds the chapel then continues on to theology, it takes them even farther away from the invention race, or other races...

And again... I said "early"

[War4ever]

yes but you can still win the invention race even if you dont win the race to HG.....or for that matter you could still be taken of the track even further and i do mean further if you went the SSC route....

we should change the rules of the oracle to "it never expires" we used to do that with the old MDL rules....

oracle is a great wonder this way, not too mention it makes a fourth happy wonder....and double effectiveness for temples is huge.....though HG is better...

perhaps make it expire at the eiffel tower stage? oracle is a wonder that should be used more..but there isn't any point at this stage in our games....

btw, glad we banned GW

maybe there should be a "RAH rules" .txt file?

Coldwiz,
Lacking any additional meaningful discussion, Please add NO GW into the official RAH rules. We've been doing it the last couple of weeks, and everyone seems to be satisfied. (meaning no one b*tched about it too much)

RAH

done and done. anything else?

a rules.txt for rah rules, or rah rules in txt format?


once again i have this feeling that War4's sig is directed towards me

[War4ever]

lol ColdWizard , its not directed at you!

[Ming]

War convinced me tonight... I think we should play with oracle not expiriring to some later point. It would be an easy change in the txt file. Even rah could do it. It's so easy, that the change takes a minute, and can be changed back just as easy.

Gee toss in that change, and rah rules will nearly have fully cloned the master diety league rules

[markusf]

Only thing your missing now, if i remember correctly is caravans reduced to 40 shields, diplomats costs increased to 60? shields and courthouses cost reduced by 50%. Lighthouse went to computers(?) and pyramids expired with refrigeration. Oracle never expires. Oh and there was a trade ship.. 0 attack so you could move it around in rep/dem... I haven't played a MDL game in years but i think that was all the changes not already in "rah rules" ..
