    The Perfect Game - READ

    Let's arrange the "perfect civ2" game.


    The concept is :

    A civ2 game.
    Every turn is discussed by the posters here, and one selected poster will make the moves that we decided to make.

    Before each move the "selected poster" will upload the save, so that we will be able to see it before making suggestions.

    ----

    What is it good for?

    A) The not so good players will be able to see the decisions that all the "deity sucks" players make together with their arguments.

    B) Fun!


    ----

    Many games by different players can be played like this but here is my main suggestion :

    A game, on a HUGE map, like those that Julius Brenzaida's add-on on TOT allows.

    Why is this good for?

    A) The "Deity sucks" players wont enjoy from the regular games in this style, but on such map the game will be very complicated and it will allow the DS players to have some fun too.

    B) Fun!

    -----

    Of course that questions, suggestions and "go away idiot" comments are welcome.

      Sorry I was tempted.

      I think this is a cool idea. The only problem I have with it is that it should be on regular civ 2.42 as this is by far the most plain and familiar version of civ, and also the most widespread one.

      suually all the people who have newer civ versions also have the previous version as they play civ for a long time and wouldn't just go out and buy a "newly packaged" game with an game engine dating to 1995.

      I don't have ToT and don't have MGE . So I think unless you can provide me with it, it would be no fun.

        Siro :

        I thought about it.

        solutions :

        A) savegame converters.
        B) different games.

        ----

        Another problem that may rise is players who load the game, and using the cheat menu learn stuff and make better suggestions.

        But I hope we will be able to avoid such problems.

          It sounds like you're already in a democracy and we are the Senate . "Senate overrules Eli's attempt to move settler one square right."

          Seriously, I think it is a great idea. What might be interesting is if there is a significant dispute between people here as to the next move the game could break into 2 games played simultaneously (i.e. ICS versus Perfectionistvs size 5 city etc.). I only say this because different strategies/approaches will always be in conflict.

            Last time I checked, both ToT and MGE were available on-line. Sounds intriguing, Eli, but very cumbersome.

              Deity Dude :


              We can have more than one game running in the same time.

              ICS game, perfectionist game etc.


              The main game in my suggestion will take a lot of time to play.

              But the thing that is important is the concept. You dont have to play like this with the whole forum, but with X friends of yours. And this will make it run faster.

                While this is a joke I want to talk more about it.


                The main conflicts can happen on the issue of "in what style should we play?".

                All those settler movements can be most of the time solved by arguments, and if not we can make X players to have special status in the game and they will be able to choose if such problem arises.

                edit : we can just flip a coin in such situation!

                  Like I said I think its a great idea and I am more than willing to participate. In fact I would be honored to be in the inaugural game.

                    I have some doubts about the logistics, but if it turned out to be workable what might be interesting (it would certainly interest me) would be to run a perfectionist game side by side with an ICS.

                      To have a different player every 5 turns, per example, could be great too,...Obviously, I think it won't be THE perfect game,...but...

                        It does indeed sound fun - as long as the logistics don't go wild - one can imagine five splinter games from each turn ...
                        Some 'rules' would be needed -- as always controlled by an 'Honour Code' there is no room for 'Thought Police' (other than Ming ) in these fora
                        I would suggest no use of the cheat menu or restart - possibly a small 'oversight committee' that would not play, but could use 'reveal map' or somesuch to advise when equally sensible moves were in dispute -- I would love to know how some of you Perfectionists get anywhere with eight cities ...

                          As you said, the logistics is the main problem.


                          It wont be hard to organize small games when 3-4 people are playing, but for the "main" game it will cause some problems.


                          I'm still thinking about it, any ideas on how to solve the problem are welcome.

                            Let's assume that there is 5 people playing together...What if every player is deciding what to do for 1/2/3 cities (and of course, deciding of the movement of the units belonging to his cities)...

                            The other details, like Government Type, tax rates, Science Goal, etc, are chosen by the whole crew...
