OCC, April in Paris,Diff=TBD

plarq · Mar 30, 2005

Just an idea occured in my mind.
Now I'm recruiting some players to play an SG.
I guess difficulty will be Emp or DG.

Civ=France
Level=DG,Emp if too difficult

Roster:
plarq
eldar
Vizurok
Open

Standard LKendter rules.

It's not OCC really,variants:
1.Early OCC.
2.(Using BeF's idea)Semi-Passive,we can only start revenge on those who attack(bombard) Paris or pillage land improvements in Paris,otherwise we cannot take offence.Once a peace treaty signed between us and aggrassor,future revenges require another attack or pillage.
3.Colony cities allowed,which are cities far apart from Paris(at least 40 tiles away),two colony cities must be 10 tiles apart at least.
4.Original captials of rivals can be kept,even they're not 40 tiles away from Paris.
5.Favorable VCs are Space,Culture,Diplo in that sequence.

Well I post lyrics,anyone who figure out a good variant rules?

April in Paris
Chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris
This is the feeling
No one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris,
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart

Sounds like fun, never actually tried an OCC above regent but that was basically just a matter of time. Ahhh, time ... :blush:

April in Paris sounds like a time for holidays, festivities, enjoyment of monuments and parks ... basically, I'd say we protect the parks and go take out some parks when they come for ours :hammer:

In other words, raze one city per direct attack on Paris. That'll teach them to enjoy their own parks, while they last. Also, no incursion EVER of Paris' worked tiles, and natural 13 once we get to L3 culture. Death penalty :spank:

Edit: all 3 settings look bloody nice, though settling on the hill mountain of #3 looks like a profitable situation.

None of them is good. You need river for commerce, which is ultra important for an OCC.

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

@microbe:You're correct IIRC,but I just can't roll off a start near coast AND by river in 20+ tries,which is a crazy :mad:

thingy.
I rolled the dice just now as a work of an April Fool,only to get the following:
change climate to wet.

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

Restore Climate to normal,get this start:
Good luck on April Fools Day!

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

Use seed of "Pink Dot" or something like that,got the following

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

@BeF:My idea of this game:we are only allowed to capture enemy capital(Just like Mic8),and cannot build cities ourselves.Or:we are only allowed to have cities very far away from Paris(say,40 tiles or so).

eldar · Apr 1, 2005

I'll join up. Now roll up a start with coast, river, and ivory and we'll be laughing.

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

@eldar,welcome aboard.
I've made a draft of variant rules in post #1,suggestions are appreciated.
However,due to peaceful nature of Paris citizens(see Semi-Passive variants),SoZ will kill our gpt in AA,and only compensate with tourism and culture later on.
BTW:the lyrics of Post #2 are from (IIRC) Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

Vizurok · Apr 1, 2005

I would like to join to the game, Plarq. I have won an emperor hardcore OCC, so I think I could handle Demigod.
Wating for answer, Vizurok

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

@Vizurok,welcome!
With 3 people in,I guess we can seriously determine the variant rules and map.Do we need Bede or viper275 to pick bad starts? :lol:

From my personal taste,I'd like to choose the last start. :bashwall: I urgently need good starts.

eldar · Apr 1, 2005

I like the colony cities idea; but rather than go on distance, just make the restriction that we can ony build our cities next to resources and luxes.

I'd go for the start with the furs visible.

plarq · Apr 1, 2005

@eldar,distance restriction means we cannot get productive cities other than Paris,or we'll end up with several cities near Paris,if RNG god does us a favor.
My guess colony cities will act as forts,chokes or resource claimers.But in the outskirt of Paris,we'll have to live with OCC,colonies help us nothing but strategical position and resources.

Edit:Anyone who can roll good starts for OCC is highly appreciated.

Vizurok · Apr 2, 2005

I would be with the furs location, teh tobacco seems to be a bit flat for me...

plarq · Apr 2, 2005

ok,I'll start the furry ferry Paris.

plarq · Apr 2, 2005

4000BC:Worker notice 3 furs,settler move to coast.
3950BC

aris established,start warrior,BW in 26t
3700BC:Warrior explores,curragh.
3500BC:Arab scouts knocked at the door,only starting techs.warrior found spice N.
3200BC,Arab learned Masonry and Bronze Working.
3150BC,meet Iroquois,up BW,Pot and CB.I trade Alpha for BW,CB and 10g from Abu,trade Mas for Pot and 20g(Hiawatha meet another guy/gal) from Iroquois.Start on Writing at max.Start Collossus.
3000BC,found out that I started WC instead of Writing,swap cost 20 beakers.Next player can swap or continue WC.
Curragh spot Germany border?
Oh god,I've made another mistake,I should've started Writing at min in 3950BC!But what's done is done.Hope no foolish mistake next time.
Note:Moderate world setting,80% Pangaea.We should focus on commerce as an early OCC game..
