and vote in polls

Well... what few polls there are nowadays

[MrWhereItsAt]

Yeah, I don't see why some of the saves couldn't be made public at the death. But not all, as they are painstakingly archived by some of us - and there are Zillions too!

Joining is pretty quick 'n' easy. And you don;t need to do anything beyond promise not to give information to our enemies noble opponents or anything.

DGs are great - I'm about 2 levels higher in Civ3 than I was before thanks to them, and 3 levels higher in Civ2. A helluva way to learn.

Great stuff, Adrian! Reading your article was one of the highlights of my weekend.

Well done.

Somehow, that is not surprising.

If we could create a map that showed everything SOUTH of about Karina (which they already know) and left the areas north of it blacked out, that would be acceptable since it would reveal no new in-game info.

That's easy. Just use an image editor to paint that whole area black.

[Skanky Burns]

Excellent read.

I would like to see a map of the currently revealed areas, even if most of it was blacked out for security purposes. Glad to see our team is doing well.

yes, i'd like to see maps too. at least the generally known parts. also, an update in score, technology race, land area, world wonders, etc.
maybe some screenies from F8 would be nice

in the first civ3 vanilla DG, there was a guy (finnish iirc) who kept doing maps and screenshots of the game. that was easier then because the AI didn't spy in the forum... but it made that DG a lot more interesting! after that, i never saw any more maps beside the starting location and lost complete interest in the concept of DG...

He was a Brazilian political cartoonist and his name was Aro.

I'll see what I can get out here. Currently asking in the internal forum what people think would be ok to publish.

Diplogames are real good about that. We post great political maps after every session. See: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=104622

But, the article was great, good to see some press for 'poly. After reading it, I might actually stop on by the scary world of Demogames.

[sabrewolf]

yes, they really look good... despite being civ2-maps

[OzzyKP]

So where do I find this big intersite demogame? The three demogames running in the Civ3 forums don't seem to be it.

[MattH]

You've got to apply. It's a private forum--- even I know that!

[DarkCloud]

PM Beta and ask him about it- he'll authorize you and give you the information!

[Kloreep]

Use the link in my sig to find the sign-up thread. (It's located in the Civ3 Democracy Game forum that everyone can access; think of it as the porch & front door for the ISDG's. )

Edit: Or just use this link so you don't have to look in my sig.
