Game Rules

[Gramphos]

Select all you want. >50% results in the option being selected.

I put no timelimit on this poll. It will count until the first game is started.

IMO, clutural and diplo victories will end the game "early" and will not be as satisfying. Random seed just to discourage cheating... and civ abilities just for the heck of it. Culturally linked starting locations... because they make sense.

[Inverse Icarus]

voted for:

Allow Domination Victory, Allow Conquest Victory, Allow Civ-Specific Abilities, Preserve Random Seed, I've read the first post in this thread.

I completly agree with you. Sometimes I forget to uncheck culture and diplo, and either I'm just about to win say, domination when suddenly the UN pops up and I lose or I win a culture victory. It's annoying.

I voted Space Race, Domination, Conquest, Preserve Seed, Civ Specific, and Read the first post.

I prefer world conquest but I think we should leave all options open.

Cheating This is a diplogame, no reason to cheat, we cant 'win' anything in playing this game but a lot of fun

[Inverse Icarus]

it's a matter of practice at this point atwa, we just dont want the president to follow his orders and reload the save several times until he wins, we want to see some losses. (well, we dont want to SEE them, but we want to know they can and will exist)

WTF is "random seed"?

[Inverse Icarus]

with the new patch, it lets you preserve the random seed.

it's a comp prog. term, meaning that if it's preserved, you get the same results every time you run it. it results in the same calvary losing the same battles no matter how many times you reload the game.

if you turn it off then you could reload the game until you win the battles... very gay.

so it's something useless so far as we're concernd?

I dont like the Diplo and Space victories. They always stop the game before the interesting part of complete world conquest using all modern technology starts.

Yes, but I included all the options. We shall not reload anyways. So it doesn't have any big effect (other then that the same results can't be recreated if the game crashes).

[MrWhereItsAt]

Looks like most (by a LONG shot) want all options except for culturally linked starts and (maybe) restarts. Once the poll is over, do we then use all options with more than 50% of the total # of voters' votes?

eg 30 voters, every option with 15+ is used.

Probably, unless someone has another idea.

Everything but Diplo (pops up from nowhere, ruining our fun) and Cultural (same reason).

I voted for Space Race. We have to have an alternative way to win the game, because sometimes the masses act in a harming way...

Shouldn't we say 60%-70% instead? That means only the mayority gets in!
