Hi all. I played a game of civ2 while I was offline last week and got my appetite worked up for some online activity.
So here I am putting some feelers out to see if anyone is down with playing on Monday eves, which is really the only solid time I can play Civ these days.
The type of game I'm looking for isn't one with a theme, special units or any special rules really (well maybe a few). Just looking for a small group of reliable people who want to try and finish a game. A bit of diplomacy and some threads/screenshots to go with the game would be real nice, though certainly not necessary.
I am thinking medium to large map to allow some time for some real good technological advancement (perhaps some modern combat) and perhaps 2x development and 1X movement (though I don't care that much).
I'd like to propose disallowing howitzer production, city bribe and perhaps controversially, railroads. I have played as many modern era games online as probably anyone around and besides the sheer amount of units that build up near the end, its the unlimited movement that really delays time (if only go to really worked!)
Also, having no RR's would force players to think differently about their empires defense and offense. No longer could one send 20 tanks from across continent to save their city on the other coast for instance, nor could a bltizkrieg sweep through someones whole continent in one turn. One couldnt rush a freight from every city to build cure for cancer in one or two turns or some ****
Sure, this change would probably give the advantage to the defense, but in modern times, everything is so imbalanced towards the offense, that this probably sets things more in the right direction.
However, all this BS being said, all I really want is a game, and I'm willing to be flexible. I don't want to debate settings for days on end, I just want to have a game with a few reliable folks that will last a few sessions atleast.
My ideal time window to play would be between 7 EST and around 11-12 EST, giving this game a solid 4 or so hour block to play a week. I'd like to cap the game at 4 people, perhaps 5 if theres really an interest (though I doubt there will be ).
I'll check back later today, if theres a few interested parties, perhaps something can get off the ground tonight. Peace.
