The $Mini-Game BETA: Join, bid, play

[jdd2007]

i bid $200 each on
012
013
014

these will be longterm investments.

edit: not 015

[Epistax]

You can't own water? Let me guess, you don't live on the coast. Buy a plot, and have exclusive fishing rights. Lobster harvesting, a host of other things.

Water tiles are vital to the game as much as any other. A city with a harbor and offshore platform is not to have its whale or fish square laughed at.

[DAVOUT]

You cannot buy sea as you buy lands, but you should be able to be granted exclusive fishing rights at a price determined as it is for lands. Theoretically, it should be the same for mines, unless the owner of the land owns also what is under the surface, which is rarely the case.

[Epistax]

Well you can't own land either. Shouldn't we have a tax on every square, depending on supply and demand of land squares?

[UnOrthOdOx]

jdd, there is a limit of three squares.

Since I always stick to my first impulse, I bid $1200 for 006 (Apolyton NW11).

Hmm...

Oh, what the heck, it's just a beta. I bid $1300 for 006 Apolyton NW11.

Project (once for sale signs show up)
and culture expands
and we own the french

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I bid $1100 for 001.

So, just to clarify, we can't bid more than $1000 unless we are only bidding on one tile? Or is it that you can only bid $1000 or more for one tile and you can bid less than $1000 for two other tiles? Why don't we set it as a 2-3 tile limit and forget the $ limit since if you bid too much you'll end up with negative $ anyway.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
*Franses looks into his wallet to see if there is anything left. Finds a lousy $20 worth of bana's.

I bid $1320 for 006 Apolyton NW11

Oops. I am logged in at my sons machine using his alias. This is really a bid from Franses. Sorry if this gives any confusion.

[Franses]

Just to confirm my bid of $1320 for 006 Apolyton NW11

Notes:
There has got to be an easier way to do this with tiles. If only I could edit the image and number the tiles. That would be easier.

I think we should have a screen pic with the tile numbers on it and one without. Should have the grid set to on. That way you can see which tile you are bidding on and what is at that tile.

[Epistax]

Is there no way we can get exact coordinates for the tiles? such as tile (50,23)? That would be much.. well... better.

[civman2000]

I disagree. Does civ3 even show the coordinates?
