Arabia - My first public game

[Lord_Iggy]

Portugese?!? For the challenge? They're the worst Civ in the game! Please write your next story. This one was awesome, even though you lost in the end. Sort of. What about coalition victory? You would have won with Sumeria.

Portugeuse are in a close tie with Hittities for last in my opinion.

But yet the AI play freaking good with them

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Ya, Portugal sucks because they're Expansionist, only good on Continents and Pangea, and Seafaring, only good on archipelago. Hittites suck because they're Expansionist, only good in the early game, and Commercial, best in the late game. For both civs, it's always like you only have one trait.

 

[Tribute]

I think the AI play them too agressively. That's why they're so good.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

True. Aggression always wins.

 

[shumble]

Nice story. Look forward to reading your next one.

I've chosen the Vikings (Scandinavians) for the next one. A good thing I didn't document it...goes terrible...I'm a minor power in Africa and I can't do anything...right now I'm in the year 1900, so it won't take long to lose...

The one after that I'll document again.

Coalition victory? How does that work? Isn't that something for Civ4?


I don't know if the Portugese are so bad. OK, their UU sucks, but so do many UU's in the game...I'd just like to try them out...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

No, I believe that it's mentioned in the manual. Let me check...

After a few minutes of Lord_Iggy digging through a colossal mess in his bedroom:

Yep, It's in the conquests manual. Quoting 'What's New': "New Victory Conditions: Regicides, Elimination, Era-Wonder, Coalition, Reverse Capture the Flag, and adjustable Game Limits."
But Coalition Victory isn't mentioned anywhere else. Strange. I guess it must have been an abandoned idea for a team win that Firaxis forgot to remove from the manual.

 

[Vilati Timmadar]

OK...I'll just look for it...

Next game will be a public one. I guess I'll start it in the middle of next week.

 

[Ansar]

Can you please post that map? I wanna try it out.

Please.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Yah, the map looked awesome.

 

[Invisible Rhino]

I think Coalition victory is only for Conquests with locked alliances.

 

[Vilati Timmadar]

I'll post the map tomorrow, I don't have it hear and it's my day back in office...

Sorry for the delay!

 

[Ansar]

Yay! I cant wait.

 

[Vilati Timmadar]

OK, here is the map.

Stat's:
C3C
15 players
15 fixed starting locations, but random for the player (does not start everytime at the same spot)
Many ressources

I re-balanced the starting locations (moved them around a little), so nobody has a bad one. I have decreased the number of players by one. There's only one player in Australia and two in Africa, but one more in North America. My first test game (Portugese, starting in Australia) shows a very balanced world. Everybody can win.

I downloaded the map somewhere. It's based on the Civ2-World Map someone recreated in the C3C-Map Editor. I added ressources and re-balanced the starting locations.

Have fun! My next public game will come soon!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Thanks. I'll try it when I get back home.

 

[Ansar]

AWESOME. I LOVE IT.

Im playing it right now with the Greeks.

 

[Vilati Timmadar]

Nice.

Tell us how it goes. If you have any suggestions for improvements - let's here them.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

The map was great. I don't think I have any suggestions for it. I love how you put in tons of resources. It saves everyone major headaches.

Are you going to start writing your new log soon? I'm looking forward to it.
