Math06: RaR, OCC, Space

Mathias · Sep 15, 2005

I've played around with it for a while, and I am certain that it is doable. Now all I need is a few copilots to help prepare for launch. I'd like veteran RaR players, as I am a complete noob with the mod.

RaR 1.04b
Monarch/Emperor
Scientific civ
Second trait and all other settings up for discussion.

Roster:
Mathias
Methos
Beorn-eL-Feared
DaveShack
Disenfrancised

Methos · Sep 15, 2005

Been looking forward to this one.

Mathias · Sep 15, 2005

That was quick. I guess I won't be sending you a PM.

Own · Sep 15, 2005

Do'h! 1.04b. I can only play 1.02, as I screwed up when trying to upgrade. Maybe I'll have to start my own RaR SG with 1.02 sometime.

DaveShack · Sep 15, 2005

Put me down as a maybe please.

Not a complete noob at RaR (need to check out the version though) but have never even attempted a OCC before.

Methos · Sep 16, 2005

Bringing her to the top.

Methos · Sep 17, 2005

@Mathias: This is an OCC so three players would be enough. Granted, the three of us don't appear to be very knowledgable about RaR. It's still doable.

Who knows, once we start others may join in.

This may end up being easier than Epic OCC Space. In the Monarch game I started this week, I reached the Industrial Ages in 400 AD with 32 monopoly techs. Building the SS in a single city may seem like a daunting task, but I expect to be able to rush at least the two largest parts. The difficulty may be in acquiring the necessary resources.

Some settings:
Monarch, standard continents map, no barbarians.

We just need to choose our civ before we can get started.

Methos · Sep 17, 2005

Unless we have a food bonus nearby we might want to pick an Agricultural civ. The extra food would be helpful.

I also like Industrious for the extra shield though that wont come into effect for a long time.

Religious is nice as we wont experience any anarchy between governments. In RaR well revolt several times.

My suggestions would be Babylon (Sci/Ag) or Tibet (Sci/Rel). Id prefer Babylon over the two due to the Agricultural trait.

Disenfrancised · Sep 17, 2005

hey I quite like to play this one.

Religious is less important as our likely gov moves will be Chieften>Monarchy>Democracy. With a OCC there is no reason to change out of Democracy (unless we go to war and maybe could change to absolute monarch).

Sci is very good, seafaring is also useful (gone extra gpt with all the Ra multiplers). And great UU for cheap defense make greece a strong choice...

Methos · Sep 17, 2005

Figured Id roll a few starts.

Size: Standard
Landmass: Continents 70%
Normal, Temperate, 4 billion
No Barbs
Random Opponents

Babs first.

This one Im not too sure about. It has great potential shield wise (38 spt) if we settle on the starting location. Only thing is its not on the coast. We could move south one but than were not on the river. At least we start off with a luxury resource. One south would give us more shields too.

I tried rolling a few more Babylonian starts but came up with squat.

Here's the 4000 BC save if you prefer to look at it.

Now lets try with the Tibet.

:aargh:

Rolled about 20 starts or so and didnt come up with anything even close to what we would want for an OCC. About the best I had was 26 shields max.

Ill try again later maybe.

madviking · Sep 17, 2005

least we start off with a luxury resource.

Hmm... wood's not resource

Own · Sep 17, 2005

That's a fabulous start with all the mountains. You will be able to work all of them at one point. In RaR mined mountain = 6 whoppin shields!!!

Beorn-eL-Feared · Sep 17, 2005

I'll sign-up since this is OCC and it takes no time :mischief:

I've got OCSC Monarch and 4CSC Emperor (island-stranded on a pangea) wins in RaR 1.04, hope it qualifies.

This Babs start looks pretty darn good to me. Settling 1S will remove the fresh water bonus, retain 6 bonus commerce tiles (+woods 7) but we do gain shields. Major ports are not that hard to build and it gives us access to goodies like IP and colossus.

Long story short, I concur with settling 1S.

Own · Sep 17, 2005

1 south has fresh water, the lake.

Grr, now why in the world did I think that was a lux? And here I was all excited about our good fortune. :blush:

in RaR both lakes and coasts show up as 2-0-2 in despotism, since lakes are 3-0-2 base. We just can't know until we reach Monarchy.

Own · Sep 17, 2005

It looks like a lake, and you can still tell if it's surrounded by water. I don't know if you can even check the terrain values from that view.

madviking · Sep 17, 2005

save

Here's the start.

Some secrets...

Spoiler You want to know? :

Own · Sep 17, 2005

That's an awesome start, just pray that volcanoe, uh, doesn't work.
