Hi All,

My friends at school and I are interested in joining a SGOTM...we were a bit too late for the Persian SGOTM. However, since we are friends we would like to be in one team. We are all just average CIV3 players. Because we do not want to discuss all things through a forum, we would like to manage save games ourselves and then post the end game just as the GOTM sceneray....However if not possible we always can manage things through the forum.
Last,....because we all now each other we would like to be in one team, without any other people. In the General Rule they spoke of assinging other team members to another team to "Balance the Team". However, they did not wanted to balance the STAFF TEAM, to set a target? If teams are balanced what is the use of a Target team them or the SGOTM at all? Eventually you want to be the best team, with your own teammates, not? Why playing CIV succesion game with somebody you do not know? If a project is performed in a team, everyone does those things in which he is best, otherwise team building has no point. So, is it possible for us to
make a team with only us three without extra ppl getting assinged to our team? That gives us more freedom to play and discuss the SGOTM.

Hello and wellcome to CFC!

First, it is not too late for SGOTM. Second, do you want to learn more about the game and play better than you are playing now? You may greatly benefit by knowing new tactics and improving your play by discussing good and bad aspects of your gameplay with teammates. And besides that, you would know new players and even make friends. This is fun also.

Edited: Special fun would be beating up the Staff team but it would not be easy.
 
Welcome very much! :)

Yes, one great part of SG-ing is surely the thing that you can greatly learn much better tactics and get higher up in the level of the game. I was only playinf Warlord when I started this half a year or so ago, but now I play even a deity SG.

Good luck to all of you....
 
Thx for welcoming me,

You do have a point of getting better if you discuss the game with others. But, we also discuss a lot of things with each other and we read a lot of threads in the forum and the articles in the Military Academy. Still...if getting better is the point of a SGOTM than a target team is still nonesence, because than...the best way to make players better is to split op the target team and balance their team with weaker players so that they can learn from the best ;). The next thing would be to keep those teams and see if their score advances over the next SGOTMs. Because then you would know if players are getting better or not...so...a team and their members should be final. But, is it possible to form one team with your own members? Because then you can see if your team advances over the next few months. Than again, you can also do the same thing for the GOTM and do a succession game and post that score, but still you have an advantage over the rest because 3 know more than 1, so its not really comparable.
Thus beating up the staff team requires a good team, without being balanced :)

To beat the GOTM-Staff is my goal! :spank:

As cocky as they are, they have the stomach and come in and ruin mad-bax's good intentions of making this a fun and fair contest.

They have everything on their side, like tools that change the maps and other tools to change the saves. :sheep:

They are evil!

They probabaly win this first round, but I entered a class in C+++++++++ + plus extra Cee and with my new program I will show them!


Otherwise, just sign up in the proper thread and I'm sure mad-bax will let your team in. :beer:

Please use space as it is supposed to be used.

I'm half pissed and can't read one long sentence.

We'll see how it goes.

Re strength: It is a well proven fact that strength of some players greatly increased after playing SG with stronger players. However, if you think that your team is strong enough... We'll see this also. Just don't forget to post when you finish. :)
 
For once I agree completely with akots. I was playing regent level with about a 50% winning percentage when I joined up an Emperor game with Ted Jackson & Zwingli, they taught me things that I never would have picked up just reading the forums & playing on my own. By the end of the game I was beating Monarch by myself every time, could win the majority of Emporer games & even had a Diety win under my belt.

Every single SG I join, regardless of who's in it or what level, I pick up another strategy or something I never thought of using before.

Hi Ghenghis,

Funnily enough that was my first SG and I came away from it feeling pretty much as you did :D
