1.0 gram - Ancient Age All-Stars (C3C - Modified Rules)

[microbe]

GK, Rome rules as well. I'd suggest no scientific civ in this game, even for the AI.

Not a sign-up though.

 

[scoutsout]

hahahaha, now please vote for a civ

Okay then, my vote goes for the ultimate noob civ: Egypt. War Chariots rule. And I wanna return to my "Regent Roots".

 

[conehead234]

Well I would have to vote for the Iroquois. The commerial and agriculture traits would be good.

 

[grahamiam]

@microbe -> ok, thanks for the tip regarding the wonders

@scoutsout -> thanks

@cone -> thanks

civ votes as follows:

grahamiam - maya
denyd - celts?
gk - persia
scoutsout - egypt
cone - iroquois

looks like were headed for a deadlock

 

[grahamiam]

[edit- It might be possible to get the same map, Ainwood has a utility that will extract the seed of a random map. If patch version doesn't change the seed you can make one of them, extract the seed then start the other using the same seed & see if it's the same. Just an idea that might work.]

thanks. i just tested it very briefly and it seems to work like a charm.

 

[Gengis Khan]

Can I get the tie-breaker vote?

 

[scoutsout]

Can I get the tie-breaker vote?

No. I'm the one who lives in Florida, therefore I get to hang Chad. Just as soon as somebody tells me where I can find him.

 

[6thGenTexan]

My choice is Rome or Celts and leave the over played Persians to the AI.

 

[grahamiam]

My choice is Rome or Celts and leave the over played Persians to the AI.

ok, thanks. i will put you in for celts for now since no other votes are for the romans. of course, if i didn't guess denyd's wish correctly, then that changes

civ votes as follows:

maya - grahamiam
celts - denyd?, 6gntxn
persia - gk
egypt - scoutsout
iroquois - cone

 

[Bede]

If there is still room in the 1.15 roster, sign me up, grahamiam.

Celts are good.

Thanks.

 

[Ankka]

Checking in, 1.22 is the only version I can play.

 

[denyd]

Like Ankka, I'm locked into 1.22

Correct on Celts at my choice, though one of the new AI (Hittite, Sumerian, Maya would be fun).

I also like the idea of no expansionist in the game. Popping 3-4 techs might be game breaking either way. The no scientific is ok, but the Persians are always fun to have to deal with (It's alot of fun to X-man & Shaka)

 

[grahamiam]

ok, good to hear from you all

bede, your the last spot in the 1.15b team(well, unless you guys don't mind playing with 1 more, but 6 should be the limit). we still need 1 for the 1.22f team.

civ votes as follows:

maya - grahamiam
celts - denyd, 6gntxn, bede
persia - gk
egypt - scoutsout
iroquois - cone

ankka, need your vote

 

[Ankka]

An expansionist civ would be ultimate if getting free techs from huts would be a huge advantage.

In that case, hittites or the inca would be good.


I still don't know who to vote for... I think I'll go for the Hittites. They also have a cool UU.

 

[Ankka]

On second thought: the Maya are also very powerful with agr/ind trait.


I'd like a AA all-starts game with only mediterranean civs, that would be even cooler, BTW. Greeks, Persia, Rome, Egypt, Sumeria, Hittites, Babylon... all in one.

 

[grahamiam]

thanks ankka, i'll keep those civ's under consideration for opponents

civ votes as follows:

maya - grahamiam, ankka
celts - denyd, 6gntxn, bede
persia - gk
egypt - scoutsout
iroquois - cone


i'm gonna close the voting and say the celts have it. will try to generate some saves later and post starting positions before tonight.

 

[Ankka]

But if those are the opponents, what's the point in playing the Maya ourselves? I think we should also be a mediterranean civ.


There are many:

Greece
Rome
Persia
Hittites
Sumeria
Egypt
Carthage
Arabs
Ottomans (?)
Babylon

Those would be enough for a great game. And if we add the Byzantines and India, we' get a whole Large map with these Ancient civs only.

 

[Ankka]

But if you don't want to do it... maybe I had the wrong idea about this.

 

[grahamiam]

there are enough votes for the celts that i think we'll settle on them, we will not play as the maya. i wanted to keep this at a standard map size and limit us to the standard number of opponents (qty 7). however, i can change it if desired.

the ottomans will not be included as an opponent as they will not be likely to get to thier UU before the game is done.

 

[Ankka]

Oh yeah, forgot that on the Ottomans.
