    Occ

    The way I see the rules stay pretty much the same with the exception that colonies are allowed.

    It is definetely more difficult than in Civ2 because you also need to get all these resources and guard your colonies. And of course the two times more expensive wonders and the yet unknown tech formula. Apparently when you gain more techs, the time needed to get the current tech you're reserching doesnt change.

    The victory type will be of course Cultural one(get 20k culture points in your city). I dont know about space victory since I never got to the modern era yet and tried it(good AI and early mistakes that made the game boring).

    So, did anyone try OCC already?

        OCC = One City Challenge.

        It's a game where you're allowed to build one city only; in Civ3, as the guy said, with an unlimited number of colonies.

            i think it too early for people to be so good they can beat the AI with just one city, civ 2 was very late in getting the OCC right. it certianly didnt happen after only one week of game paly !!!!!

                Ah... I see you're simply not capable of winning an OCC game. Losers!

                    civ 3 not avaialb ein australia yet, so cant try it... But your right i never did beat civ 2 using OCC... too perfectionist for me, you had to find just the right starting location and then hope for peace... i always got war from all sides ..

                      oh well, you're raising another good point. Civ3 isn't even out yet in Germany, so I can't even try playing an OCC

                        Well, I tried the OCC twice and quit, once at 1500 BC and once at 500 BC or so (both on deity, ofcours).

                        The problem is I don't know enough about the game to keep the people happy !

                        Luxuries you said ? Yeah, well, guess what, those colony-thingies won't do. They get overrun and you simply don't have enough production capacity to defend them all... Perhaps if you start near two luxuries and get only two other to defend, well, then you might have a chance. But I had none, in neither game, so that means I got to protect 4 (four) plus your city. That left my defense too stretched out, so...

                        O, well, I'll first learn how to survive deity untill 2000 AD and then get back to this one city thing.
                        If you were in my movie...

                          I tried an OCC game on Regent level, but the Chinese won the space race. They researched much faster than I could, so I lowered my science rate a bit and bought stuff from them. I got some money by then selling those techs to the other civs, but in the end it wasn't enough. When the Chinese launched I had only two spaceship parts. Only the Babylonians were less advanced than I was.

                          I guess it will take some time before someone will win an OCC game on Regent, let alone on Deity. But when we become more familiar with the game it will probably happen. And maybe Eli was right when he said that the cultural victory would be the best way to win it. I may give that a try next time.

                            it is a good thing that OCC can now have 2 or even 3 outcomes... not only space race win, but also cultural victory and diplomatic victory, though I doubt the latter would becoem very easy...

                              Try impossible. You have to have 25% of the world's population and/or territory to even be eligible for a diplomatic victory.
