Here is the 2nd installment of this wonderful idea started by Krick19 that is geared toward the Warlord-Noble-Prince level players. I sort of took the proverbial "bull by the horns" on Krick, and for that I apologize, but it is my hope that we can all work together and have a smooth running series for players who are still learning the ropes of this immensely complicated game.
Attached is the WB Save (zipped, as it wont let me upload the file directly). To play, simply download the file, and unzip it into your BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder, and then start Civ IV, using your favorite MOD. Select "Play a Scenario" and choose the Nobles Club game. You will not be given a choice of leader (thus, you wont be able to see your opponents), but you can feel free to choose any Difficulty and Speed you are comfortable with.
There are no hard and fast "rules". In the same spirit as the popular Lonely Hearts Club series, all we ask is that you update your progress at various stages. As a general outline, we currently have the following times:
1- 4000BC:start = Discuss the opening position, and your plans for the first few turns.
2- 2000BC:Early strategy = After exploring, and perhaps founding a few more cities, built some Wonders, etc
3- 1 AD:= Recap how your opening plans played out in the actual game, how diplomacy is going, etc
4-1000 AD: Update on Victory status = At this point, you should have a general idea of which direction you are headed for Victory (or defeat, as may be). Wars, etc, anything you feel will help you or others for future games/plans/ideas.
5- 1500-1800 AD: = How your planned VC is going, or perhaps if you have adjusted/changed your mind. General stuff.
6- : Victory. = (or defeat, as it may be)
Remember, these posts are suggestions NOT requirements. There is only one requirement, and thats "Have FUN", but we hope that by sharing ideas, we can all learn from one another and even eventually move up the level ladder ourselves.
We ask that you use spoilers to post, since we all play at our own Real Time pace. Some finish faster than others, and using spoilers will allow people to avoid pre-information if they wish too. Also, we fully encourage asking for advice, but again, use the spoiler feature to pose your questions. We have players of all levels interested in this idea, but ultimately, our goal is to become better players, and asking questions is one of the best ways to improve. I am sure a few higher-skilled guys will be more than happy to offer some advice, even if they arent actually "playing along".
So without further ado, onward to Egypt!
NOTE: A special thanks goes out to r_rolo1, who also runs the LHC series, for creating this game for us. /bow rolo! We owe you one! I am going to attempt to learn how to create future games in this same manner, so we can play at whichever difficulty/speed we are most comfortable with, and also in each individuals favorite MOD.
In addition, extra special recognition should go to Krick19, who came up with this idea of a Noble level Club. I am sure many of us have felt a tad too intimidated to post in some of the more "advanced" games and discussion threads, but it is hoped that no one will feel like a "n00b" in this series. No questions are too small or unimportant. Often I find that by physically typing out my "ideas" I can organize them better in the games themselves. The first game was a great success, and I think many players found confidence and skill they didnt realize they had! Lets keep that spirit flowing in all the Nobles Club games!
