  • Expanding Game

    EliitMees and Chrisius gave me an interesting idea, and that combined with McMeadows' distaste for Accelerated Production gave me an excuse to start another game. Beta, I *will* overtake you for second place. I swear.

    THE GAME:
    Only expansionist civs will be allowed.

    However, I'm allowing you to take any civ and add Expansionist to its traits. Heck, you can customize any civ you want. I don't care. 3 traits, one of which is expansionist. If you pick an already Expansionist civ, tell me what you want for a third trait.

    You'll start with 3 of everything - scouts, settlers, workers. Also a bit more gold, to get you through that dry spell at the beginning where you owe more than you get

    It's going to be a fairly small map, depending on how many suckers, er, people want to play. Standard map, 5 or 6 players, perhaps 7. Small if it's less than 7. Pangea, 60% water unless people want to play seafaring, in which case we'll do perhaps a slightly larger map with 80% water.

    Also, if people want I can set up a second UU, chosen by the players. If you have a custom civ that means 2 custom UUs. Say what you want for it, basically use somebody else's UU but rename it.

    Anyone interested?

    ...

    I guess so... Here they are.

    Sure Snoopy.

    I'll take the Egyptians...I always wanted them to have the expansionistic trait added to them.

                Yes - to be honest - it is. OTOH, it does make for a lighter evening.

                Good luck with the game.

                    Ok, I had a bit of a thought about it and I would like to have the Indians with the, agricultural, scientific and off course the expansionistic traits. Eagerly anticipating the start of this game...

                      McM - I think it has already started.

                      I we get a few more we can start another one. Or maybe the original crew would like a second larger game.

                      I will take the Chinese.

                        Huh? It hasn't started yet. The "Expansionist" game *has*, but that's a different game entirely.

                        So we have ...

                        Beta Chinese
                        McMeadows Indians (modified-AgSciExp) (ie the SuperCiv
                        Eliitmees Japanese
                        DanielXY Sumerians
                        Wittlich Egyptians
                        Snoopy369 ... hmm, I'll be the Sci-Comm-Exp Ankh-Morporkians, with a UU like the Indian (a War Elephant!)



                        Anyone want a second UU, raise your hand ... otherwise i'll start it friday (ie today) after work, or something like that. Standard map with the six of us, pangea 60% water since nobody seems to want seafaring (Japanese aren't seafaring, are they? If they are i'll do 70% water) ...

                          The Expansionists Game initiated by EliitMees has started indeed, this is a spin-off initiated by Snoopy369.

                          However, I'm allowing you to take any civ and add Expansionist to its traits. Heck, you can customize any civ you want. I don't care. 3 traits, one of which is expansionist. If you pick an already Expansionist civ, tell me what you want for a third trait.
                          And I took the oppurtunity to become what I call "the new Ghandi". Food for the people (agri), mental strength (sci) and spread that word over the globe (exp)...

                          McMeadows, Indians - agr, sci, exp.

                          6 players at the moment (in proposed play order according to their timezones)... Ready for kick off?
