  • I posted on the Gamespot forum too.

    And it seems, Vanila Civ4 demogame may end soon, if so, we may see more players from the civ4 DG team.

      • For some reason, the thread id's of the turn posting thread and of this thread changed.

        I had checked every link at the time.

        I didn't know the thread id's could change.

        I've fixed all the links in every post in that thread!

        • Maybe linking to first posts in the threads would be better?

          • Mart,

            I checked the links today and they're good.

            I'm assuming Bodissey is following the European tradition of vacationing in August. (What country has a blue flag with a circle of yellow stars?)

            Unless he pops up in the Multi-Player forum, I'd rather wait for his return. Maybe we can pick up one or two players when the school year starts.

            I was recently researching the modified Vets map. I'm very impressed that you balanced the rainy squares.

            • Sorry my fellow lieutnants,

              Just to confirm I'm indeed vacationing. I should be back on tracks - who spoke of formers-- around next monday.

              • It's good to see the game going.

                already 4 bases connected by roads, kelp farms in the bay... free tech, future looks promising.

                  Mart,

                  Glad to hear from you. I've asked Illuminatus to move your post to this thread. I'd like to keep the turn posting thread limited only to game turns and reports.

                  One nice thing about the pace of this game is that there is time to think about it. I even suggested hurrying the last mineral of a CP because it might save a single energy credit if there was a hurry the next turn at BRCM.

                  Already, we can see some possibly suboptimal decisions.

                  (1) The decision to move HQ away from the sea.

                  (2) The decision to research Centauri Ecology. We haven't built a former and there are two other factions trying to build the Weather Paradigm. If we had not moved HQ and immediately researched Doctrine:Mobility, Doctrine:Flexibility, we could start exploring the sea earlier.

                  (3) The decision to build roads. While roads have expedited the movement of BRCM CP, the construction of a farm/solar collector 1 sq. E of East would be giving us more labs.

                  I tried (1), (2) and (3) on the original save (being careful not to explore beyond what we already knew and ending in 2110).

                  If we had left the HQ where it was and researched D:M followed by D:F, we would have a gunboat popping a pod in 2106.

                  Using the East former to build a farm/solar collector wasn't successful. It would take ten turns (2110) and we wouldn't have the expansion base as soon (since there was no road to it).

                  • Sorry to spam turn report thread...

                    It's interesting to see how events develop.
                    Exploration speeds up, one of the most favorite game stages.

                    We have no luck so far with new players, hopefully during September, when after holidays.

                    • Note that I edited my last post. One of the drawbacks to democracy is having too many cooks ...

                      Actually, I didn't consider your comments spam since there has been so little traffic. But, then I thought about the precedent.

                      As the game becomes more interesting and the school year begins, maybe we'll pick up some newbies.

                      There have been a couple of newbies spotted in the Multiplayer forum. They're interested in TCP/IP so they wouldn't be interested in us. But if they're around, there may be some single player types.

                      Did you ever post in those two forums?

                      • You mean the German civ forum and gamespot, yes, in both.
                        No much interest though, and it looks like gamespot post got old and has been already deleted.

                        I can post again over there.

                        • I don't think that is necessary. I don't think there is much of a readership there.

                          There was someone that had replied to my post in Civ Fanatics in June saying he hoped to be able to join the game in August.

                          If you are a member of Civ Fanatics, maybe you could reply to that thread asking "elgado" if his schedule has cleared up. (1) An invitation and reminder may be all it takes; (2) it will bump the thread; (3) it looks better if there are two of us.

                          • Two new people have shown interest in Smac/x.

                            Maybe they could be attracted to the Demogame.

                            • I think you are referring to the same two players I was.

                              It is worth a shot. I've posted an invite in their thread.

                              I've just updated the ACDG5 Index thread and checked all the links in case they check it out.

                              • Just my two cents:
                                The — still unresolved to my knowledge — compatibility problem between Mac and PC game files might have generated a lack of interest for this demgame among our fellow players.

                                Don't you think so?
