Welcome to the second installment of the One City Challenge Club. This is a simple hosted OCC group of games for you all to play out if you wish. I may or may not join. Remember to keep you games in spoilers.
This week we have Ramesses which has the other real powerful OCC Trait, Industrious! The Spiritual trait is also very useful as it helps with diplomacy. The UB offers 2 early priest slots which can be be leveraged for the OCC game. The UU is well known and fairly powerful if a very early unit.
The map is a Big/Little map and was the first I generated, I made one slight modification in worldbuilder shown here
Simply moved horses just a little closer so you can get them in the second border pop rather than the third.
Otherwise it's as was randomly produced
The save is a Nobel difficulty/Epic speed and the WorldBuilder save is also attached if you want to change those settings. Remember I plan to be moving the difficulty up as we go along in the series, nobel for now.
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 Lincoln game was a last minute failure. Also under the RPC Next Generation the dali Lama was an OCC but certainly not a typical game.
So onto the leader
Bow and cower at the feet of the God-King!
And the map
well, well, well! Forrests and floodplains with marble! Interesting.
Enjoy
