PTW Demo Game Rules Outline

[Randolph]

Did you see the poll to the end? I think I recall Emperor taking an early lead but Monarch actually winning. There was also far more votes for Regent than Deity so a Re-vote probably would have only made a stronger case for Monarch.

We should definetely choose accelerated production.

What's wrong with it?

The game is going to take a lot of time, and accelerated production is the only way to reduce it to some reasonable period.

[Randolph]

it's a different game. We should play "standard Civ" for our first ever mulit-team civ3 demo game(or any civ game? were there any Civ2 multi-team demo games?).

for accelerated production

[asleepathewheel]

and at the end of the 4 years it takes to play this game, we can start a Civ4 demo game



j/k

[Jon Shafer]

All rules updated, sorry for the delay.

[alva]

btw: accelerated doesn't speed up turns. just makes the early turns longer.

[notyoueither]

It speeds up the game alva.

Fewer shields to build things. Fewer food to grow.

[alva]

so you have more units to move, things to check in the early turns

[notyoueither]

and the game comes to a point of decision sooner...

[alva]

true, so in conclusion:

the game finishes sooner, but is slower to play

[Zero]

better than submitting a turn with only 2-3 worker to control and waiting for buildings to finish for early turns.....

I also think tech rates are effected... hmm.
And the two AI civs can easily get way too powerful with acc.prod.
Especially on higher levels when their bonuses are multiplied.

OBS: (Played acc.prod. once on emperor, and got no rivers...
unrealistic things happened and I was beaten by the frogs.)

[Zero]

I think humans abuse the acc prod more than the AIs do... Maybe not, but thats the way it seemed on my last acc prod game.
