I will abstain from the poll. Without seeing the start / knowing the scope, I do not feel I could make a sensible vote. Even when you are in doubt about it now, I think it is still best for the designer to choose... What Piu says about barbs on Deity level holds true, for sure. t_x

;););) Just highlighting the pun in case anyone misses it... ;) PF is the one who writes these instructions for us other game designers. Many thanks for that once more!!! t_x

There is a long answer to this and a short one. :) I´ll try the short one first: My spreadsheet told me it was the best thing to do with this start. ;) I think I said so in my notes, also. It is not too often that I use those anymore. But this was a Deity game, and CA2 does not work on my...

I think, no barb camps that were early and constantly spawning highly aggressive barbs, when the alleged barb setting was "sedentary", but in return slightly stronger AI civs, would have done this job better. ;) Again, I highly appreciate the effort and am very thankful for the many games that...

Now to my feedback regarding this game... First of all, THANK YOU that I was allowed to play it out. My available playing time makes this possible only every now and then, nowadays, and for a Deity game with so much land, I needed a few extra days which I was - for a last time - granted. Thank...

I needed that tile for Leipzig. Plus, Frankfurt and another town, 777 from Munich, were designated pop farms for most of the game. delivered loads of workers and settlers for all that land to fill. in the GA, Frankfurt built a duct and only towards the end of the game was allowed to grow and...

Continued.. 975 ok, I was wrong about the barbs… they keep coming, in numbers. 875 hand-build and finish TGLib 775 FP built 690 Eng in, Inv next 630 Austria has captured A SECOND town from France, moving their slow movers all across the continent. Surprising. But mostly helpful. Investigating...

But the question was: Hospitals before Rails and Double Worker Speed. And there, the answer is very clear: never! I could imagine to adjust to hospitals if it is someone´s free tech. But since you´re mentioning Sid games... why would you research a 1st tier IA tech, which the AS is supposed to...

The governor will pick the mined desert tile, yes. I have often used that already. t_x

I am all ok with having deadlines to be real deadlines (again) from now on. Definitely, submitting an unfinished game or just abandoning a game are options that are still available then. Personally, I would have always accepted that in the past, too. And here I out myself, that it was me who...

I think the creator of the game definitely should not comment the discussion in this way. If you want such information to be available, it should be in the game description... t_x

game forest? ;) t_x PS: if you call a beaver a game then what would you a forest name? ;D

In GOTM 198 you rule over Religious and Expansionist Arabia (again... again Arabia, and again designed by me!). This game was designed by templar_x. Starting Position: Scope of the Game map size: standard archipelago 80% water -ish 7 AI civs, the civs are pre-selected, their lands are a bit...

I would like to ask for a time extension for this long-lasting Deity game, preferably until after Easter... like, Apr 22, that would be. Thanks! t_x

a thing to remember: sth that looks like desert and lies next to a river -> is always Flood Plains. ;) t_x
