AU302: One City

[Ubergeek]

Well, I've never done OCC before, but I'll give this a shot tonight. I expect to get my butt thoroughly handed to me. But the occasional red-headed-stepchild whomping is good for the soul.

I'm confused. I could only play Germany and the start looked nothing like the screenshot.

Jawa Jocky, you've probably loaded up 'The Power of Communism' AU.

Which was a fun game Jawa... You might want to play it later... No offensive war unless your government is communism... Quite challenging!

If something strikes you as being really good in someone's AAR, feel free to give them the "thumbs up". This sort of recognition among your peers is, IMO, far more important and sincere than an official rating system.


Dominae

I fully agree with you, but I wanted to be sure...

I give (and get) enough 'official ratings' at my job, so I don't need any more from 'Poly, except, as you say, from my peers.

Dominae, for you,

That was 203 wasn't it? Dyslexia strikes again

I was going to put up with Germany, but it seemed cruel not to have any hills for shields

I think we should be allowed to accept culture flips, and adbondon the city.

You can do it either way, I suppose. I just thought it would be "easier" to just rebuff them, since there could be no temptation to sell their improvements. Not that this is really a major issue in any case.

I think I will play it again now. I refused to accept a city that I really wanted gone. It was sitting on the road between me and my dye. Not that that would have let me win.....

anyway.....

[Dominae]

BlueWaldo, try letting the AI civ (is it Korea, or India?) have the Dyes, and try trading for the Luxury. I think you'll be surprised at the bargain you'll get on it compared to normal games. I usually had to pay somewhere between 20 and 60 Gold per Luxury in my game. That's about 2gpt!

I finally got my copy of PtW working tonight. I had to re-install both CIV3 and PtW before it worked. I look forward to this OCC. I think I will lower myself to Regent. I have to be humble enough to admit that I can just barely beat Emperor on a lucky day, and normally have a tough time with Monarch as well.
