nother training game - this one aimed at getting newbies to learn all the little tricks.


sign up! 4 spaces still open!
 
I'll sign up. I have to see how well I fare against the regent comps anyway. Warlord is simply too easy and Monarch... Uh... Pick me!

Rules & Limitations are?
 
Count me in. I have been playing warloard level but I want to get better and play the higher levels.

As long as we don't play the English. I am not a big fan of that civ eventhough I read Sulla epic game where he played as the English.
 
I think we should go with the french... Industrious and Commercial are quite nice together. But I'd be happy with any civ (preferably one with industrious ;))
 
oK infoman, you are in, too.

As for the civ: i was thinking about religious as an attribute so we try around a bit with governments - it's training after all ;)
 
Then let's go with Egyptians! The ability of slaves will then be greatly increased. And if we get into a democracy and survive until replacably parts, our native workers are accelerated by 600% :eek: That and they an early UU
 
XSin: I actually like the idea of haing a useless UU for this game (unless we want to train for the art of VEC = Very Early Conquest). In most Regent games, the GA at the right time will pretty much win the game and I'd like to have this option removed :)

We could also play with specific abilities removed though - would be interesting!
 
We don't have to use the UU... I'm not much of a war monger anyway. I take the "expand like a family of rabbits" route :D.
 
Let's hope we can keep you away from that "go to war" button until we get cavalry :goodjob:
 
It would be nice to get a starting position like K5. I have not seen a start with so much resources in one area before.

My next question is what size map are we going to play, type of map, climate and age & # of oponents?

Industrious civs are great. I have plyed the Egyptians once and had a good game going until the power when out at my house and I lost the game. At that time I had around 18 cities, including 3 from culture flips, and had been in about 4 or 5 wars. Mainly the English and Germans.
 
OK, since this is a learning thing I'd suggest staying away from what you liek but NOT picking somehting you absolutely dislike - it should be fun after all.

How about the Aztecs then? religious for government experiments, militaristic to help the warmongering, very early UU that is good but not too good - OK?


map size standart should be OK, not too tight and not too huge.
 
I'm ok with those settings. (Although America is my favorite and egypt is around the middle but whatever ;))
 
The will be fine with me. I have not played them yet. I can see it now: We will have Cancun, Alcapulco, Baja, Tiajuana for cities.

Plus Jaguar warrioirs look like they would make good scouts for exploring.
