I'm looking for 3 other players, preferably players who can pick up the game within 24 hours and post an update. The first round we'll do 20 turns each and from then on 10 turns per session. You save the game at the end of your last turn. Also the ability to post screenshots and detailed reporting would be great. I'm quite a newby to SG's myself (not to Civ though), so experience doesn't matter. Be sure you're comfortable enough with the game to play at Prince level. Here are the settings of the game:

Map: Archipellago - Snaky Continents
Size: Standard
Climate: Temperate
Sealevel: Medium
Era: Ancient
Speed: Normal

Difficulty: Prince
Number of AI opponents: 7

Victory conditions enabled: Conquest and Domination (all other VC's are disabled)

Civ/Leader: to be determined

Roster:
Dimy
ThERat
Till
Gufnork

And yes...we will go to war in this game! :ar15: [pissed]

Interested? Sign up now :)
 
sounds like a nice game for a warmonger like me, if you have me
 
If no one else joins i will except i have a few problems
1. I live in Australia so the time difference might stuff it up a little
2. my laptop is absolutely s***. I'll be able toplay the map but i need all the tiles revealed or else its all black.
3. I've never played a sucession game before and i'm only just getting used to noble so prince might be a bit to difficult for me

If there's a problemwith any of these just tell me otherwiseid i'd be happy to join

wouldn't that mean to spoil the game since you know the map :(

Dimy, you might want to post this in the SG registration thread, it helps.
 
I have never played a sg before and thus far only played on noble level. But i do manage to beat noble most of the time.
I'd be happy if you decided to sign me up, but i understand if you want to go with a more experienced player. ;)

Edit: Just remembered that i have played exclusively on epic speed setting until now. Not sure if that is of any consequence. (Oh and i'm off to bed now. It's 1am and tomorrow's uni. :cringe:
 
Sir Toma said:
if i "reveal" the map at the start all you can see is the lie of the land and rescources. no civs, no goodie huts, no enemy units.
Still if this is a problem and it would ruin the game for you then just tellme and i'll live :sad:

Sorry, but it kinda ruins the game if you know the shape of the continents, especially on this specific map setting. :sad:
 
Never tried a succession game, but it sounds fun. I'm all for warfare, that's what I'm best at. I generally play higher diffs, but that's not a problem, right?
 
Till & Gufnork I added you to the roster, please confirm you join the game. Everybody ok with Aztecs on Prince level?
To Gufnork: it's only good to have someone on board who normally plays higher difficulties.. for me Prince is quite challenging, I won my first attempt on Prince but lost the 3 games I tried on that level after shamefully ;-). So good to have you onboard! If Till and Gufnork are confirmed and Aztecs is ok for everyone I create the start save and play the first turns.

*EDIT* On 2nd thought... I'll create the 4000 BC save, post a screenshot and first have a round of pregame discussion. *EDIT*
 
*confirms*
Any civ is fine for me. Aztecs start with mysticim and have a swordsman replacement as unique unit. So we could either try to capitalize on our mysticim head start and gather religions early on, or we could try to rush towards swordsmen to get the most of our UU. Jaguar Warrior have +25% jungle defense over the commom swordsman, which doesn't look too useful to me right now.
But i'm getting ahead of myself. Better take a look at that map first ;)
 
Maybe we should try for one early religion and then go after that UU technology. One thing I found is very important though, get the proper worker techs first, improving land is so much more important, tech speed will be much faster with a good 1st and 2nd city.

Dimy, do not worry about the difficulty level, in SG's due to the more conscious play, difficulty always seems one level less. So, you play prince SG seems more like noble SP.
 
Sorry for not reporting in. Yeah, I'm confirmed.

I suggest Meditation first if we start with extra commerce in the city, Polytheism if we don't. Then Bronze Working for chopping.
 
Here's a picture of our starting position... we've got horses, fish, clams and wine nearby!

Oooh, tricky. We're on a plains hill, which is great for a new city. We also have two sea resources (love those), horses and wine. But no fresh water. How important is that on Prince? On higher difficulties it's a huge issue for non-expansionist civs. With all that forest we could probably afford to skip fresh water, even if most of the forest will be put to the axe. I think it's where we stand or where the scout stands that are our options (we could build a fishing city on the NE-most square to grab the eastern clam and fish). Another advantage with building where we stand is that we can work the clams, have the same production and get some extra commerce which will let us quickly grab Meditation. But luckily for me this is ultimately your decision.

I assume we're playing in the order of the roster in the first post?
 
wow, what an awesome start, is that the first start you rolled? fish and clam together?
what can go wrong in this game then?
I would settle 1 tile NW to grab the lake and hills for hammers next time
