My people! My brothers! My COMRADES! For too long we have suffered at the hands of foreign invaders and corrupt plutocrats. The people must rise up against the burgeouis pigs! The people must defend our lands from the invaders!
Viva la Revolucion!

Rules: We will be playing a peaceful game until the fated Revolution sweeps aside the corrupt plutocrats! This means that we cannot intentionally start a war or even attack enemy cities until after the Revolution. This does NOT apply to barbarian cities. In this case, the Revolution will be defined as having occurred once we switch to Police State and State Property.

Our Civ: Russia
Difficulty: Monarch
Map Type: Pangea. Muwhahha!
Victory Conditions: Space Ship and Diplo disabled. We will be going for domination or conquest.
Map Size: Standard
Enemy Civs: Roosevelt, Mao, Victoria, Genghis, Bismark, Louis IX
Game Length: Standard

I will take the first 20 turns-each player thereafter will take 10.
 
I'll join this late game brawl... but you might want to consider rewriting your first post so that it's easier to read. :)

Since you're wanting to try out the later age civics have you thought about starting in a later game? It'll speed the game up some and everyone seems to start equal. Just a thought.

Methos, that sounds like an interesting possibility, and one that i will experiment with further.

More updates to follow once I get some more school stuff wrapped up.
 
If you will have me, count me in. DC, arent you up in the RB2c thread?

It's been my limited experience that modern age warfare is "easier" in Civ4 than in C3C (where the relentless spamming of TOW Infantry "BANG BANG BANG" was a pain in the neck). On the other hand, earlier ages seem much harder. Maybe it's my perceptions, dunno. I havent played many difficulty levels or maps yet, so take this with a BIG grain of salt.

It may be that city defense is too high in comparison to the offensive strength of attack units in early ages. Also, in early ages, your econ takes a real beating.

You can still use SODs if you put several medic units in it. Gunships are a must.

...is this a bit much or are we set for action? DH, be our leader here and get us going :P
 
Are we starting from the AA or do we want to start later in the game? We don't have to start in the Modern Age, we could start in the Industrial or whatever the one is before.

One of the CivIII SG's dealt with a modern age war and it took them about a month or so to get there. By the time they did things had kind of petered out as people were losing interest. Just a thought.
 
Confirming.
 
We will start in the ancient age. I want the extra challenge of having to play an entirely defensive game until later on, and it's not like we have to reach the end of the tech tree before we can start our onslaught, we just need to get Fascism and Communism, neither which is particularly expensive compared to how much government techs used to be valued in Civ 3

Cizzlewalk, would you like to get this started? The Direct2Drive version of the 1.09 patch still hasn't been released :mad: :mad: :mad:
