For the record, five people who still need to vote: Cyc, Calis, Classical Hero, Falcon02, Elephantium.

Agreed. With a big choice like this there should definitely be a majority (as opposed to a plurality) vote.

To make it clear, Yah to France, Byzantium, Carthage

Ah, beautiful. I couldn't recall. The equation for score is: (#ofLandTiles + 2*#ofHappyCitizens + #ofContentCitizens + #ofSpecialists) * difficulty level. Based upon turn-by-turn changes you can keep track of when new cities are founded, when cities grow, when luxuries are connected, etc...

Question: in Civ 3 multiplayer games, does it list the turn-by-turn score of each team in-game? It's been so long since I've played that I don't remember; in Civ 4 it's one of the best tools to use for this sort of stuff.

Alright, I was assuming so but the turnlog requirement made me wonder. The referees not having access to private forums would make accountability a pretty serious issue for all teams. Though it does raise the question of why we need to give them turn logs since they'll be able to see everything...

Okay, I think we can make the following assumptions: -Game will be at least reasonably fast paced (will not, say, last to the modern age). Everyone will basically have a long term goal of a conquest or maybe domination victory. -it's on continents; potentially lots of shoreline, and potentially...

Just curious, do these game mods have access to our private forum here?

Just curious, what was the format of Team Saber?

Is that in order of fluency? :p

Well, eventually the city will be fully built, maybe? :D

Also, the military adviser can be surprisingly helpful as well. Took me a while to find that link; haven't used it in so long. But considering the relatively small number of early combat units available, for a while it's not too difficult, based just on what the military adviser says about...

Cloak and Dagger (C&D): the process of revealing as much as possible about another Civilization with various tricks, usually involving the demographics (F11) page. What everything means: approval rating: calculated as (#ofHappyCitizens + .5*#ofContentCitizens + .5*#ofSpecialists)/#ofCitizens...

Is anyone fluent in German? That seems like it'd be a great plus for whoever's in charge of diplomacy. edit- just noticed the last post. I'm better at it in Civ 4 but I can definitely do some C&D stuff with the Civ 3 demo screen as well. Also, perhaps more importantly, I can take precautions to...

Wait, the referee joined a team? He hasn't already made the map yet has he? I feel like this entire process so far just deserves a massive facepalm. This is actually reminding me a lot of Sullla's writeup of the Apolyton MTDG that I read recently; the run-up to the game included 28 (mostly...
