STARTED!!! FULL

game order:
soul > denyd > blaze > scratcher > soul....

having had quite a few games end with a SoD ripping out my throat, i have thought it would be nice if one could overcome his natural instincts in the game.

so this will be exactly the opposite.

all victory conditions are allowed (FOR THE AI ONLY!!!)
Humans shall be as peaceful as can be, submitting to an honor code.
HUMANS may win ONLY by a 100K.
seeing as it will not be possible to double the rivals culture points, i suggest we make it a "first human to score 100K" culture)
domination will be ON, so one must take care NOT to win that way.

roster:
soul warrior - persia
blaze injun - inca
DenyD - sumer
scratcher - india

extra players to be discussed, as this will be one VERY LONG GAME.

world settings, continents 70%, etc
we can also make it a smaller world, and lower it to 80 or even 60K wins?
for a quicker game.

barbs - roaming?
AI - all will have either sci or religious attributes.

ToA will naturally be the holy grail. so i suggest we either remove it or mod it.
raise its cost? change it to a 8cpt and one happy citizen in all cities?

towns flipping will naturally be on.

now lets see who will reign supreme!

scratcher is in. :D

so far:
ToA - 8cpt, +1 happy face on continent, +1 worker/ 7 turns.
courts - +1cpt.
other builds/wonders are the same

civs:
human: persia, india, sumer, inca
AI: celt, egypt, russia, japan

world - random generated (Std, 70%, continents)
tweeked for some luxes, iron/horse, food.
placed civs around.
adding a scout to each civ.

This was one of those that I had in mind for down the road, so sign me up. I'll take Sumer if no one else has selected them yet.

Blaze Injun

Hey,

Remove the ToA. :D

Give me the Incans. Never played them.

I want Space too. The Incans want the Stars!!!

Honor Code
No declared wars.
Peace must be always the first thing each turn.

Is that right? ;)

Another option would be to create a ToA for each tribe (ToA cannot be made a minor wonder, I already tried that) :(

soul_warrior
Jun 17, 2008, 12:19 AM
im more inclined to remove it.
if we add a specialized ToA, everyone will build it.

id rather we either remove it, or lower its culture value (maybe like a minor hanging gardens?)

denyd
Jun 17, 2008, 12:31 AM
You could also have it give a unit (free worker or settler every 5 turns)

The way the editor is setup, major wonders are the only ones that have give world or continent wide happiness or provide a free building.

You could also change ToA to give a free court, market or some other non-culture building.

soul_warrior
Jun 17, 2008, 05:34 AM
i like that idea, denyd :D

how about i add to ToA:
NO free temple,
1 worker every 5-10 turns (id make it 10) (settlers would be too much, imo)
bump its culture up to 9cpt (to still make it a nice culture boost)
we can also, though i dont think its needful, add a +5% interst bank (to help rush stuff)

i will see what can be done later today.

so far we have:

Blaze the Incan
DenyD the Sumerian
Soul of ???? im thinking babylon - but that would be overkill.

as AI, i need to have a serious look.
will advise later.

I´m interested in this, i could take on the Celts, diplomacy with the AI has any restrictions or is it "abuse all you want...."

I can make offensive war against the AI´s and take them out of the frame?

gentlemen's rules.
no starting fights, we will all be first to finish them.
nothing too blatant, but you may trade as much as you want, if you defend, take a few towns, by all means - and by few i mean upto 3-5 max.

all VC are on, but we humans aim to win by 100K (first to get there) with space or diplo a nice second.

still interested?

In my opinion, The 3-5 towns COULD provide a tremendous advantage to some players. So far, I've always gotten an AI to declare on me by first making them furious with outrageous demands, and then either asking them to leave... or if that fails unsafely trying to steal tech from them... and failing... of course :). I'd guess the adding workers in for pop rushing exploit as disallowed, correct? Even though I don't have any 100k wins, I'd feel tempted by this sort of game, though, if we added the rule that we couldn't attack outside our cultural borders, but, of course, we could bombard as much as we liked. Of the tribes left, I'd pick the Babylonians first, and the Egyptians second. What difficulty level? Accelerated production?

Any thoughts to what to do with Statue of Zeus & Knights Templar?

I've been in prior games where SoZ & KT were made minor wonders, SoZ had ivory requirement removed & + 100sh, had SoZ & KT changed to 1 AC/Crusader every 10 turns and a game where AC & Crusaders could be built by all.

Also what's the settings for SGL & Barbarians?

soul_warrior
Jun 18, 2008, 02:18 PM

barbs - roaming?

SoZ / KT - minor, +100shield, 1 unit/10 turns. sounds ok to me.

Can a player set or reset their password in any PBEM?
you can set it on turn 1.
otherwise, i dont think the player can change it.
maybe - the game admin (with an administrator password) can change the password midgame.

sent the game, to blaze, direct.
sent blazes' mail to denyd.

building it will cause the player to make a very substantial BET.

no building it by a human.

There are a set of rules about what huts give and when, if you'd like I can either post them or e-mail them to you.

One of the rules no barbarians if you have no land units with an attack or defense factor. Another is no barbarians if you pop the hut with a unit with "treat all terrain as a road" checked, like an explorer.

Blaze Injun
Jul 02, 2008, 04:17 PM

City: Must be on a tile where a city can be founded (no marsh, mountain, volcano, etc)

Gold: The tile must not have any type of resource or luxury on it.

Maps: always available

Nothing: always available

Settler: Player must not have a settler (active or in production) or any unit with the Settle AI strategy.
Player must have less cities than (TotalCities / NumActivePlayers).

Mercenaries (skilled warrior): There must be a unit available to the Barbarians as well as the player and that unit must be able to be built (or have been built) by some player in the game.

Tech: Player must still be in Ancient Times.

Barbarians: Player must not have Expansionist trait. There must not be a city within a 1-tile radius. The player must have at least 1 city. The player must have at least 1 military unit. The unit popping the hut must not have the "All Terrain As Roads" ability.

To determine your odds of getting a item, sum up what's available when the hut is popped and divide what your looking for by that number. Example: Your playing a Monarch game as a non-EXP tribe. Your popping a hut while researching Ceremonial Burial when you have no military units and are equal to the average number of cities. You can only get city (5), tech (15), gold (10), maps (10) & warrior (10) so 5+15+10+10+10 = 50 and you'll get a tech 15/50 (30% of the time)

denyd
Jul 02, 2008, 06:03 PM
I just remembered that since barbarians are swords in this game, you can't get a mercenary (
swordsman) until you discover Iron Working, so that would make techs 15/40 (37%)

Now if the hut happened to be on a gem mountain you'd be looking at 15/25 (or 60%) for a free tech :D

Or it could be because I am just unlucky. I knew most of those things, I just didn't know the percentages, nor do I ever really care to calculate them. If I see a goody hut then I will pop it.

With barbs set as swordsmen could I get a concript swordsman if I know Iron working even though I don't have iron?

Ravindran eventually fights his way out of the enormous forest/gungle. The 1st Indian Warrior division, a rather unruly bunch to say the least, was dispatched to administer Ravindrans punishment. They discover a unknown tribe who happily teach them the Code of the Warrior.

Unfortunately the poverty stricken Indian state has nothing to offer the Incan emissaries. Ravindran, in his haste to exit the vast forrest, stumbles upon some barbarian warriors. Luckily he is able to make a hasty get away. The smartist thing he has managed so far.
