[NEXT GAME DG IV] Pick your Civ - round two

Heh. Funny that. I'm not nearly good enough a player for roleplay to hold much attraction for me - detracts from the effort put into just trying to beat the blasted AI at anything above Monarch!

I'm rather the fun type of player and don't seek the super challenge. I probably have the skills to play Demigod and Deity regularly (if I could be bothered with the MM) and occasionally do so, but that's not the type of game I want to fill my scarce free time with. So I play fun games on Emperor and try to replace the fun elements, which unfortunately have been taken out of Civ3 for AI's sake, with roleplaying or thematic restrictions. Examples are "never attack an AI civ" (fight wars only if attacked), or "try to reach the highest amount of reasonable gpt trades", or just to play out the history of a given country as accurate as possible.

..to risk taking this thread TOO off topic..

With the original Civ I went crazy about history. I read every history book I could get my hands on, and made a special list of when each tech was discovered in real life. I spent many games playing just to beat the real world's advance rate!

Come on Sir Ralph, this is our chance to be the Maya and try to conquer the evil white man!

[Harovan]

You know, that the Maya probably never met the white man.

That was their choice

You don't expect much from us do you.

You can be sure, that I know what to expect from you.

SURELY the Maya had their Viracocha/Quetzalcoatl...

I don't think anyone expects much from you

What the heck is that supposed to mean? I am a staunch PACIFIST. I have no intentions of upsetting the Mighty Empire of Lord British whatsoever.

Although I did lose horribly all of my intitial PBEMs, the current ones appear to be going much better.
