6 grams: C3C - Diety, with AI Armies (Maybe)

[MailMan]

I stop here. The AI has built an army!!! That was basically the purpose of this game, the see if the AI could be “persuaded” to build armies.

So basically this SG is a Win? j/k

Looking at the situationa minor question pops up; why are we mining in the SW?

To mark areas that were forrested since you only get the shield bonus once.

I think it's safe to say this one's done.

 

[Wotan]

Would be better to irrigate grassland for that purpose, food is not affected by corruption. And the workers that really triggered my question was two workers mining a hill and that is just a waste IMHO.

 

[grahamiam]

bahh, a nasty loss. i wanted to fight and defeat AI armies, not be crushed by them

anyone want another go or do we just bury this one?

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

I could go either way. If the rest of the team is willing, so am I.

 

[M60A3TTS]

I would be willing to try again, but if we're going at deity, maybe consider going with an agricultural civ.

lurker's comment: If you want to see more AI armies.. perhaps remove the need for victorious army to build heroic epic, and make that spawn an army every 25 turns aswell?

I'm afraid that I'm not joining any new SGs probably until we hit the heights of summer due to mounting pressures in RL that mean that I will soon only be able to play games sporadically. I want to play in the next SGOTM and anything more than this would be an overcommitment. I don't want to let anyone down so I'll pull out now so that you can find a replacement before the re-roll.

Good luck in the new game-I'll be lurking. Maybe I'll see some of you again for a game in July!

 

[MailMan]

I could go either way as well.

I think that in the last game we had two major set backs:
The 1st: lack of iron. that was a real pain that we could not overcome.
The 2nd: killer AI at our door step. that one we could have overcome if it was the only problem.

 

[grahamiam]

ok, i'll setup a new thread tomorrow night. we'll just continue with the same order, so I'll play the 1st 20 turns, then KB, etc.

as far as difficulty goes, i'd like to do demigod. i'm in a retro mood so I vote for the Egypts or Romans. Feel free to suggest others (please place your votes, highest one wins )

I'm also going to increase the water % from 60 to 70% so the later turns don't take as long.

sound ok?

 

[M60A3TTS]

I never played Egypt in an SG, so that sounds ok.

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

Both Egypt and Rome are tempting. I tend to like the Legion a lot better than War Chariots, but that can leave us in a real pickle if we have an iron deficiency again. Egypt can dominate with what are essentially cheap horsemen, so long as the terrain allows it. I'm game for either.
