This is a succession game for anyone at Monarch-Emperor level. We could even have someone above this to help as a guide. This is all about one thought. Conquest. Simple conquest. It may sound easy. But if your at the "wall" of Monarch/Emperor this can be quite challenging.

Parameters-
World Size- Huge
Map Type- still to be discussed
Climate- still to be discussed
Civ- still to be discussed
Enemies- Random.
AI Aggression- still to be discussed
Patch- 1.22 Conquests
Barbarians- Random
Restricted-
1.) No RoP rape.
2.) No ruining of reputation.
3.) No irrigation in enemy territory to ruin shield production.
4.) No mining an already high populace city to ruin population.
5.) No army pillage. This is too much of an advantage and it is easily overused.
6.) Winning via U.N., Culture, Space Race, Domination.

Any other ideas for restrictions are welcome.

Count me in.

Huge pangea, archipelago, continents?

Big, are you interested in GGF4 French v1.15 ? If v1.15b is a problem switching to 1.22 is fine w/ all players remaining. Right now we have two active and one dormant.

We're at 900 AD and have just started our first war with our biggest continental cohahitant, the Inca. Not sure what our victory conditions are going to be but we have the flexibility with the cash the French can generate for just about anything.

We really should start talking what civ we are going to want. And other aspects.

I really don't have a strong opinion as to what civ we choose. I was a vanilla Civ3 player for a long time and then jumped right into SG's once I got C3C from my kids for my birthday. I have not played most of the new Civs and therefore not experienced the new traits.

Right now i'm playing French, Vikings and Arabs.

Well a few thoughts come to mind when we pick a civ.

The best traits for this huge map would definantly be exp/rel. (Arabs) Good UU, well placed GA, but ive overplayed them.

The whole thought is a challenge.

Scientific might not be so good, because we might be buying alot more then research.

early tech pop from scouts are nice, but usually emperor gets those fast though.

Seafaring is nice too. I like this one because we can get to the other continent faster through one bonus move.

I also like Agricultural for better food/faster expansion.

These are the civs i like~ Dutch, Portuguese, or maybe a different approach through a civ like India or China. Its up to you and whoever joins us.

Not a sign up, but the Inca are probably your best bet. On a 3-billion-year map, there will be a lot of Mountains and Hills, which the Chasqui Scout ignores. A wet world will also mean a lot of Rivers -- good for Agricultural (so is Arid, though, as Agricultural civs can make use of the Deserts). You'll also end up with a lot of Jungle to slash, so an Industrious civ (China or the Maya especially) would also be strong.

Dutch or Portuguese. Maya are very good civ, but i like the Dutch/Portuguese. Im would like Portugul. But it is up to the group... If we can get a group... I really thought we would have 4 players by now.

I'd like to join if you will have me

I had played in a few SG's before PTW came out. I got up to Emperor level back then, but just couldn't beat Deity. Now that I just bought C3C, there is no time like the present to jump back into the SG scene.

I'm a Emperor/Demi-god level player (having one DG win under my belt ), builder by heart, in training.

I'm in the process of trying out every new PTW and C3C civ, so I'm fine with any civ other than Mongo, Spain and Vikings.

Click to expand...

If you count one DG win as Emperor+, I'll take it

After reading the discussion about civ choice more carefully, I think if given the choice between Maya, Dutch and the Portuguese, I'd prefer the Dutch. I'm playing the Mayans in a solo game right now, and I'd like to save the Portuguese UU for a island game (I don't recall myself ever building a caravel from scratch, so finding out how that Portuguese UU plays will make an interesting game).

Excellent. I think we should go with four and then if one more would like to join they can go at the end of the line. I think we should go with this line up....

If anyone has anything else to discuss... speak now. I would like to have a confirmation on the civ, the order, and the parameters. Except for Huge map and conquest win style, im pretty open for thoughts on any other aspect. I would like to make the save tonight, though.

I prefer for this game Portugal on a huge Archipelago Map, highest sea settings and 3-Billion years. I dont care for hot-cold nor for dry-wet. I get to kick off after you've made the map ?

yeah you do. I was thinking Dutch or Portugul. But with those settings, it would be portugul. What do you other guys think.
