We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Guys, I'm starting a different sort of game (I hope). I know that you're both involved in a bunch of other games so I understand that you may not want to participate, but I'd appreciate your input as to rules etc.

You are working on a key issue Spencer. Tech trading makes it much harder to predict how a multiplayer game will turn out and will likely cause the "lead" to oscillate several times during the course of a complete game. SP games were much more predictable and linear. I'm pretty sure that I believe wide open tech trading arrangements are good, and that they are fun, but I'm thinking about it. I admit it is very different from SP, so some won't like it.Illegitimi Non CarborundumComment

game sent to eli
I think you're right that the heart of the MP game is the interaction between people. Thats the only thing that keeps me playing civ3. So what I want to prevent while trying a team game is the situation where a couple of more experienced players just team up tech-wise and then just warmonger. Civ is not a wargame and I find it boring to play that way. Unfortunately, it's also the best way to win.
I'm a little concerned about restricting trade between teams altogether (I think we'll end up with waiting for a tech advance to allow 'free trade') I think the idea that captured techs are tradable may help.
I also think we may have the human aspect with the discovery and teamwork that will be necessary to win.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Sorry for confusing messages this morning. No one should be held responsible for what they say before 7am, IMO.
Sent. Hope you get it in time Spencer.Last edited by jshelr; February 6, 2003, 10:28.Illegitimi Non CarborundumComment
