OK, there seams to be a discussion on the Nobel's club about potentially running a OCC game. Seeing that there are no OCC clubs on the forums )forgive me if there is) I propose starting one here. If there is one, we can either add it to that, or start a new one.
General statements about a One City Challenge, according to Mad Scientist
1) You get ONE city! Go and win yourself a game champ!
2) You cannot build a settler, nor can you capture a city. Captured cities will autoraze, a great way for ticking off a rival.
3) You are allowed 5 National Wonders per city, and they still require the prerequisite buildings. Example, for the Globe theater you need a theater, Oxford requires a University. etc....
There are plenty of players that can offer great advice, I will keep to just hosting this game for the time being.
Examples of OCC games can be found in the Classic RPCs in my signature: Agustus, Stalin, Lincoln were all OCC games focusing on diplomacy, military, space victory pathes although the Limcoln game was a last minute failure. Also under the RPC Next Generation the dali Lama was an OCC but certainly not a typical game.
Game settings are Nobel difficulty, normal speed on a temperate fractal map.
Saved game and a WB file are added for people who want to change difficulty or speed, my reputation is poor on Wb saves but I think this time I got it right.
So onto the Leader
Peter has one very powerful trait for OCC, Philosophical which produces faster production of great people. Expansive is more debateable as a valueable OCC trait although I would rank it #3 because of the health bonus.
His UU is the Cossack, certainly useful IF you get horses.
The UB is probably one of the more powerful ones for a OCC giving 2 free scientists with the research institute, although it comes very late in the game.
The start
You already have some tough choices. Settling in place will cost you levees later on, settling northeast costs you the grains, settling south costs the gems in the BFC! And of course you do not know what you eventually lose, if anything.
Strategy here I leave to the masses although I do plan to post my own shadow.
It is an open challenge so please feel post your results, however please use appropriate spoilers as to not ruin the fun.
Saves will follow shortly as I need to delete some old RPC saves from the server.
