After 6 games in progress I think you deserve one. on setting up so many games & seeing them all through to the end. Way to many SGs get abandoned or have people drop out constantly.

1. Wow, Ummm I'd stick to regent. Even at regent you'll need a very commerce rich spot for your 2 cities to have a shot at keeping up in techs so you can snag those oh so valuble AA & early MA wonders. Very difficult & would depend 75% on your starting location IMHO.

3. May be AW, Emperor, OCC, Conquest victory? IMHO, can be very enjoyable on a tiny or even small archipelago map with 80% water and absence of other seafaring civilizations. On tiny map, may be even DG is OK. Don't know if it was done before.

 

[Ankka]

Hmm... not bad idea on the OCC AW... but I already have 1 going on and a second one just ended...

We could try to go for the 2CC, Gengis. I take that as a signup.

I like the idea about the 2CC 20k double (Regent) game. I am interested, in case you would take a player without any experience in 2CC or even OCC games - no offense taken if not.

Which civ version are you thinking of?

 

[a space oddity]

Option 1 is certainly possible: follow this link to see our "MB1 double whammy" game. We had a lot of fun with it.
edit: Ah, only now I see that you guys want to play it as a 2CC . Interesting!

Sadly this is not a signup, I'm trying to restrain myself a bit...

 

[Ankka]

grs: sure, you're welcome... what level have you beaten? I'd suggest at least Monarch to be a limit...

Civ version: I like vanilla/PTW maybe more, but that can be decided when the players are in...

And one more good thing in vanilla/PTW: military leaders can rush wonders... Much harder to get a leader to rush wonders in C3C...

 

[Ankka]

Yeah, space oddity, I got the idea partly from that game, I just decided to make it a little different...

 

[grs]

My current level is Emperor, having beaten that twice in a row after too many Monarch wins. But I have to admit I am at the start of my Emperor playing (2 wins, 2 losses).

I'd generally like classic/ptw more, too. First because of the different versions of c3c being around, making games often incompatible and second, because I feel the ai is playing kind of weird in c3c; like crippling itself by declaring "far away wars" more often and researching much slower - though I may be mistaken.

 

[pindicator]

I'm currently an Emperor level player, myself, and would welcome a SG to get my feet wet on Diety (or Demi-God).

 

[Ankka]

Ok, pindicator, you're signed to the Deity one.

 

[Bede]

Ankka,
Enroll me in #2.

 

[conehead234]

I'll try number 2 Ankka.

 

[Ankka]

Ok, you two are signed up... One more for #2, and we'll start.

 

[Rik Meleet]

#2 .. me ?

Do I have to prove myself to you as well ?

 

[Ankka]

Nope, you don't have to have any experience on deity even... you're in.

I'll start #2 later today... Game full.



Remember, you're still free to join 1 and 3.

 

[Ankka]

Ok, I started #2, thread is here:

[Ankka]

We still need a player or two for game #1...

No one's interested in game 3? Well... I guess it'll be abandoned, then.

 

[Ankka]

I need to ask one thing. How does it work with a mod or scenario? I mean, for instance, if I put up a SG with the Finnish Civ (by Drift), will all of the players need to dl it, or only the one who starts it? Are all the leaderheads etc stored in the save?

 

[grs]

Additional grafics are not stored in the save, neither are changes to text files (names, civlopedia etc.). Only rule, player and map changes done with the scenario editor are distributed.
