Cyc
Looking for the door...
This thread's title says it all. If you would like to discuss the game in detail, please post below. Pleas use English if possible. It was a wild and wooly game, with a lot to complain about. So let it fly, people.
Can we make "after - game" analysis here, like writing brief story of most important events of the game. Then it will be easier to discuss "missing opportunities", hidden tricks, treacherous plans, est.
In German "ISDG Kafe" all in German and things not very well organized.
Here we distributed between "surrender" and "diplomacy" threads.
For lurkers our discussion not clear at all.
the interest over here doesn't seem to be too intense?
Both options have pros and cons, and for me it is still not clear. Unfortunately it is not really possible to directly compare the Küche- and the Eagle-output, because the Eagles had such a super-über-start... (5fpt instead of 4ftp. With a granary that means 2-turn growth instead of 3-turn growth, so 33% faster growth in the early phase. What had the map creator been thinking here )
Interesting point discussed right now: which settling pattern is better, the "tight, many size-7 cities" implemented by the Küche (and also by the Anarchos, if they would have had time to develop peacefully), or the "slightly wider, not so many size-12 cities" implemented by the Eagles (and also by the Knights, if we would have had time to develop peacefully)?
The Eagles had to move one turn before founding Aerie.
One turn means nothing...
This pattern makes sense to me for a research game with a small number of units. FP in R14D9?
On the other hand: if you have to move the palace, then why not even further north? E.g. R7D5 and FP in R37D17? (of course, everything would need to be readjusted a bit then.)
The one who plays poor for the sake of his nations would have won the race.
Chosing emperor was the most important mistake when starting the DG.
The 4 turn limitations is not bad per se. But in combination with low research costs and the unability to research more techs than 1 at once is undesirable.
First of all i need to tell you that the 4 turns are not hardcoded.
