How often and by how much does the culture of a building increase?

My personal preferance would be to have bombard able to kill, and to make it so that the random seeds don't reset when you reload. That way people wouldn't be able to keep reloading until they win a battle.

I must say, on this matter I agree with marshalljames. Yeah, settlers you pop give you a HUGE advantage, but thats not "unfair" per se. Maybe someone will get lucky and pop a few settlers, and be able to beat Sir Pleb for once! My real argument is that luck is a big part of this game, as it...

Another suggestion: maybe the 4 game of each season should be played by 4 different types of civs. For example, the first game would be a militaristic type civ, the second a religious, the third an expansionist, etc. I know each civ has 2 things, but the idea would be to try to mix it up as...

Wow, some of your suggestions are just dumb. Why don't a couple of the good people get together (Grey Fox, whose idea this was, Aeson, who knows a lot of stuff ;) and Sir Pleb or something) and make the rules. They already know what we think, and they don't seem to come up with dumb...

If you had read the whole thread, you would see that the scoring system is made so that people can do well without milking the game. Only the lowest 25% will be moved down, and if youre in the lowest 25%, that means that you aren't really good at the level youre playing, and you'll move down...

Strider, I think that they should be forced to move up as well. If they're good enough to get in the top 25% of their division, they should have to move up and try the next division. If they're not good enough, they'll move back down the next month. Otherwise we might have a situation where...

What are you guys talking about? It's a tournament, not a get together of civ players. The whole idea of a tournament like this is to try to move up and then stay as high as you can get. God is completely right, if you get moved down, so what. If you REALLY belong in the higher level, just...

Why not make the rules into a Constitution that can itself be reformed? Maybe you could have a senate of some kind with a bunch of representitives who are allowed to reform the constitution with a large % of their vote or something. . .

I've noticed that once in a while when I have a unit parked on a hill or something, and an enemy walks by, my unit will take a pot shot at the enemy, taking off 1 HP. Anyway, what exactly is the rule on this? How does it work? When does it happen? And what units can do it?:confused:

So basically if you're going for a high score its good to have minimum number of civs, largest map, and most land coverage? Oh, and in addition to that, 5 billion years, wet, and warm would be best for maximum population right?

What do you guys think about expanding the number of HoF entrys to 15? It would take up a little more space, but we could solve that by moving the Tiny and Small scores to another page, and just posting al ink to that page. I think this would be good because it would be cool to see that you...

God retired? Uh oh, this can't be good for us.

It would not be easy to create an alias though, because you would have to submit the game using the same name you downloaded it with. You can also check IPs to make sure no game is downloaded twice by the same computer. I think this is a very good idea, and even though Im sure SOME people...

Many people can't finish a whole game every week ;) It's the 13th of the month today, and I'm wrapping up my game of the month. So thats two weeks that it took me to finish this one. I would have no chance finishing in a week.
