The SPDG-3 Starts Here and Now!

[BigFurryMonster]

This is the start of the SPDG Number Three.

Togas and I changed the World Size and Number of Opponents, as requested by the polls.

We took the liberty of changing the colour to Yellow, because the Minimap will be easier to make out, and Yellow is the colour of the Banana.

Below is a screenshot of the start position, and an overview of the settings.

Now, we need someone shouting around all over Apolyton that this game is starting. NuclearMaster..?

There is no government yet - I think this is the perfect time to start up some elections, or to continue with the last DG's goverment. MrWIA, will you do the honours here?

Of course, this game can't actually move forward without a government. But it can't without the in-game start either, so both are required.

A downloadable save file will be made available soon in this thread.


note: leader name might still be changed



edit: the wheat tile is also a bonus grassland tile.

Spain right across the water??? That's a little too close, isn't it? We're going to have to fight them for that fish tile forever.

I wont be a help for news. I believe I was terminated

Here is the first save file:

I think thats a bit of a lousy start location.

17 sea tiles in the first 21?
having a centralized capital will be a pain in the ass?

[Kuciwalker]

The spanish have a luxury resource.

ouch, what happened?

IIRC Unorthodox is also a news editor but he probably can't write lots of stuff so maybe if someone sends it to him...

Anyways, I can't be on the Government right now.

Perfect time for someone new to start the game. There is no hierarchy built up, nothing complex (it's the start of the game!), and it would be great to see some of you lurkers get into it for a short time. Yes you, I see you there.

Go and nominate yourselves so we can start this game!

[Tassadar500]

Panzer I have no clue. I didn't even get a letter of any kind.

[Panzer32]

you should send a PM to someone, maybe it was just a mistake?

[Tassadar500]

I already have. But no response. I doubt it was a mistake. He cancelled my e-mail changed ACS News Editor back to my post rank and disabled my Apolyton Account that can post news.

EDIT: Just got reinstated Someone hacked into my account a e-mailed Dan a rude message with things I could not post here on Poly But still YAY!

About the start location

Excellent!

A new start.

To me it seems that this time we would benefit a lot from moving our settler one tile west and settler there.
Then we would have at least 10 tiles of land. (5 now)

Then again we should scout first to see how much land there is to be found and what kind of terrain there is.

Legend: w=water g=grassland f/j=forest/jungle

And give up the bonus grassland tile?

Perhaps 1 W, 1 SW or something else in the viscinity... we need to send out the scout before deciding where to plant the capital.

We'll get the production bonus out of it anyway...
I think there is a thread about it somewhere out there.

And there might be more bonus grassland tiles under the fog.

But anyway we need to send out the scout first.
