Let's start with a bang - a good leader on a nice map! Someone like Ramesses, Liz or Ghandi perhaps?

I was thinking of Gandhi; I've wanted to play him for a while. Any others (non-Spi, non-Phi)?

Looking at the early leaders from this cycle, Louis and Zara are quite interesting options. The last Zara game was the first NC game I ever played. Would do it again.

That gives us 2; we'll have to defer Louis because both he and Zara are Creative. I'll work on starting up a 4th cycle bullpen this week, figure out another 3-4 whose traits fit, and map a Gandhi on Friday.

Suggesting Gandhi-Zara-Vicky-Stalin-Washington-Saladin as first round. All traits included, Sal repeats Spi from first game, otherwise no repeats. English, Russians and Americans have three leaders each. With one out of the way early, they won't cluster toward the end. I put Washington last of them as there was a Lincoln game quite recently.

If anyone wants to post anything about Third Cycle, this is still the place to do it. Otherwise we should move over to to Fourth Cycle for discussion about the future. The "master" first message isn't ready yet, but it will be by Friday. We'll be going with elitetroops plan for the first round.

Sorry, where are the more recent game series ? In the forum, I can only find up to the 4th cycle from 2014.
@Tobiyogi
The fourth cycle is active, and it did indeed start in 2014. Activity was rather low for a long period, partly because the longtime host dalamb got missing in action, but it has become somewhat active again.

We have a handfull of leaders left to play the fourth cycle.
I posted the newest game yesterday with Montezuma:

@ krikav
thanks, but i still don't understand why the latest game is number 206, and all the other games from the 4th cycle are somewhat in the 170ies ?
Btw, the monty game is great, I like the start a lot as it is somewhat unusual (never seen a 3f 3h deer). I won't tell too much, as I have no idea how to hide spoiler content, I just can tell that I won a cultural victory around 1950 (on immortal). In my personal opinion, the map and the landsize are well balanced so that no-one really ran away. That is unfortunately rare, that's why I liked the game.

There are games all the way up from 170->206. They are abit scattered though.
Here is the best summary I know of so far:

Previously, dalamb was updating the first post as games was uploaded, but we don't have access to that first post anymore, so things is abit chaotic now, hopefully we can find some better arrangement for next cycle.
Very glad to hear you enjoyed NC206 and that you find it roughly balanced! I'm up at T66 or so myself.

Thanks, I haven't seen that summary before. I guess I know several of these maps from Absolute Zero's Videos on YT that I enjoyed a lot.
AS for NC 206, when I start a game, I play it straight through the night, "bad habit" though, but I can hardly stop myself. In my game, it was very balanced, no ridicoulous vassaling that I always hate. Let us know how it ended for you, if you want.
