Scowler, Silver, Liq, I've updated the rules a bit to simplify their concept and usage. Other details have been solidified. Diplomacy will be allowed in case we want to honor any loyal vassal civilizations with continued existence at our end-game. Also, Scowler, Liq has notified me S.ilver...

Scowler, I'll put you down on the roster. I'm not going to start for a few days though, friday at the latest. Like RB10, I am not completely sure of the difficulty yet. RB10 ended up rolling a map that was almost completely in the player's favor. Our immediate threat was nerfed with bold raids...

The great part about SG's, you get hauled up to higher difficulty levels just by participating in the game discussion. I'll start this in a few days, since Rb10 just ended. Unsure about a detail or two, but Toku will have his revenge ;)

Wicked Job Liq! Gee, I really thought these civs would be more aggressive, or that Lizzy would have faster tech gain. Cathy allowing open borders was... unexpected, so was their metal deficit. Everything was in our favor, and we ruthlessly took every advantage. I declare you all graduated...

Two reasons: 1) We just played an archipelago map 2) Under this ruleset, we're only allowed to amphibious attacks from galleys (coastal tiles). We cannot attack from land. 3) We want to win with domination or conquest. So if the AI settles inland, which arcipelago maps allow, we cannot...

Ok, I think I spoke too soon yesterday. I have not played this turnset, and I don't think I'm able to tonight. Liq, S.ilver, if either of you want to take this tonight or tomorrow, go ahead. Otherwise, I'll play and report sunday. Oof, my head is swooning.

Ok, I got it. I'll be able to play tonight, report tomorrow.

I'm not starting for a good while yet. So, you're in. No, there's no way to have variable maze plot widths. For this variant, we're really limited to 1 or 2 plot widths. Liq, Silver, any preferences on either? I've played 1 plots before, and its quite possible to travel there. Much...

The difficulty scales geometrically as the map size increases, but I'm up for Emp if we turn off spaceship and time victories. At higher difficulties and sizes, you just begin to run out of time to conquer. I put in that clause because I thought it might be necessary for self defense. It...

Well, I could always put you down as an alternate ;) Have fun with this round!

Really nice 'reload our guns' round Veovim. I'm glad you finally finished Galleons, and grabbing Steel was smooth too. Cannon and Conquistadors. This is going to rock. Jameson's up! Hey Zeviz, you around and watching? You're on deck.

I thought it would be doable, but toku nextdoor actually helped us. Our enemy builder civs actually helped us by not going crazy on war defenses early on. Essentially, we had a blitzkrieg before they were ready. Plus, they had no metals. Our progress would've been a lot slower if cathy had Iron...

Tokugawa has escaped RB10 to a new land, where new seas await him. Defeat on land has turned him toward ruling the sea, and raiding other civs from his galleys. We are pirates! We have no love of exploring by land, the sea calls us, beckons us! This SG is for the warmonger in us, and...

I doubt cathy even has military tradition, or nationalism. If she does, no big deal. She still doesn't have anywhere near our production power. Any ideas for the next big great game?

Then go bonkers with war! Ignore everything associated with econ. Go nuts on warmongering! Its a race to conquer the world! Note, even if we do turtle up, it isn't going to be for long. That's mostly to get a few economy and logisitical bandages out of the way. For warmongers, peace means...
