Well, in any case, there's no reason NOT to have the Random Seed on.

Hmm... maybe I'll try an OCC tonight as the Babs. I'll go Monarch on a Tiny map, I think.

AFAIK participants in the UN Vote must control at least 25% population and landmass on the map, so how can an OCC Diplo Victory be possible?Originally posted by Dominae
As I've mentioned above, Diplomatic and Cultural victories are quite easy."Where I come from, we don't fraternize with the enemy - how about yourself?"

If you build the UN, you're in automatically.

I thought that, but in my last OCC I built the UN, but wasn't able to call a vote! I did use UN with 1.29 the first time, is there a new way to call the vote?Originally posted by punkbass2000

wow! thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread. i've wanted to try the OCC for the longest time. i finally did it a couple nights ago, but i didn't know any of the rules and ended up winning a cultural victory on warlord AND having another city due to a flip. not much of a challenge.
can't wait to try again, this time the right way. i'm gonna try regent level (i still play normal games exclusively on monarch).

I won on Warlord with Cultural Victory, too, ok, maybe this is vs the rules of OCC, but it was the most thrilling game I've ever had: I was about 5 turns from CV, when the top dog, the romans next to me, which I tried to calm all the game, sneak attacked me. They pulled with about 15 tanks and some infantry in my tiny empire, I had only 4 or 5 infs. They attacked the next turns and brought reinforcements, I hold them off barely, one turn before CV they brought me down to one Inf. This brave little man won his next battle vs the roman tanks, got to elite won his next, generated a leader, (I named them "last man standing" of course ), next "YOU WIN".
Can you imagine my excitement during this last attacks?
And some people say round based games are boring...

Hey, if you guys want to play OCC with Cultural victory on, and (most importantly) you have fun doing it, then DO SO! As SanPellegrino's game shows, you can still have a heck of a game trying to win Culturally.
In my rules-post I was just trying to carry over as many rules from the original OCC format, and not trying to dictate how people should play their games. This said, I believe trying to win via SS launch is the most challenging victory type in OCC.
As for building the UN, I'm pretty sure punkbass2000 is correct: you get to call a vote periodically and are automatically in the list of candidates. SanPellegrino, do you perhaps have a save from the game where you couldn't use the UN properly?

Dominae,
Did you build the UN in your game? If you don't build it, you can't control the vote, and could end up losing, not because of a strategic mistake, but rather luck 'o the draw.

Arrian, I originally played my first OCC games with all vicotry conditions enabled. I disliked how essential it was to build the UN in the Modern age (moreso in OCC games than in regular games) and how Diplomatic wins weren't as satisfying as SS wins. So I simply turned off Diplomatic victory.
Like I said above, it definitely isn't easy to get to Fission and build the UN in an OCC game, but if you do, most civs will probably vote for you because you've been such a nice guy the whole game.

Too bad I got no savegame from that, I keep only the savs of my "epic" games. I only recall that in 1.21 or something you were prompted every round to vote, don't know about 1.29.
Would be fun to see if you could be the governor with only one city, because in my last occ game the AI fought a lot of their kind, but all were polite or gracious towards me."Where I come from, we don't fraternize with the enemy - how about yourself?"

Sorry dominae, I overread parts of your post, seems you did a diplo win in OCC. Can you trigger the vote yourself after building UN in 1.29?"Where I come from, we don't fraternize with the enemy - how about yourself?"
