Casual 1 - Player Vote

[sir_schwick]

This is my first foray into Succession Games. I don't have a ton of time, so I created this Succession Game for the more casual or time consumed Civ gamer out there. It has slightly looser standards on returning games.

This game's roster will be 5 players. Discussion of rules and settings will be open until August 2nd, when I play the first round. Turns rotation will be 20 for Ancient Era, 15 for Middle Ages, 10 for Industral Revoluation, and 5 for Modern. Players have 36 hours to confirm they have the file/pass control or play automatically defaults to the next player. Players have 7 days to finish their session and post.

Roster:
1) sir_schwick
2)King Alexander
3)Mauer(Current PLayer)
4)Misfit
5)bed_head7

Settings:
Version: C3C Unsure about patch.
Difficulty: Monarch
Size: Large
Landmass: Continents
Sea Coverage: 70%
Temperature: Cool
Climate: Normal
Barbarians: Raging
Civilization: Carthagians
Enemy Civlizations: Random
Victory Conditions: Domination or Conquest
Special Conditions: Normal

Current Game Status:
Well it appears that I have a mutinous crew, so I am just screwing it and doing the settings I got votes for. Here is the results of the voting, we are playing Carthage Large and no special settings. It will be a couple days before I will have the next save-game ready.

 

[King Alexander]

Hi, sir_schwick. I'd like to join, if you still have places.

 

[MSTK]

I wish I could join, but I have a vacation soon.

 

[King Alexander]

I'm in the roster! Thanks, sir_schwick.

I'd prefer standard map, pangea or continents - 70% water, temperate, wet.
Victory conditions: qonquest or space win.
Civilization: let's see.. I have played in SG's: Greece, Egypt, Germany, Rome, Russia, so, I'd prefer another civ, maybe China. I leave it open for discussion.
Enemy civs: random.

Edit: I have the patch 1.22f for C3C.

Maybe we'd go for a new civ: I haven't played C3C so much.

and this?

 

[bed_head7]

I'd like to play. I am at the point where Monarch is starting to feel comfortable, and it might be fun to try a succession game on my own skill level (Jumpmasters C is my first SG). And if I end up on the roster, I am fine with all random. Any civ is fine with me, as long as it is not one of the ones we have done recently in GOTMs (edit: Hittites and Dutch in the COTMs, Greeks and Aztecs in Classic). One of the best aspects of succession games is seeing other people's perspective of a game and a civilization as well as playing styles, but that is also true of GOTMs.

 

[Mauer]

Just wondering when this thing is gonna be starting?

 

[Mistfit]

Well we could discuss who we want to play. Below is a list of Civ's that I have not played.

Sumerians - Sci & Ag - UU = Enkidu Warrior
Potrugese - Sea & Exp - UU = Carrak
Byzantines - Sci & Sea - UU = Dromon
Dutch - Ag & Sea - UU = Swiss Merc
Arabs - Rel & Exp - UU = Ansar Warrior
Carthaginians - Rel & Mil - UU = Numidian Warrior
Americans - Ind & Exp - UU = F15

Any of these are O.K. with me, I will also play any Civ but I prefer to try out somthing new.

 

[Mauer]

Sumeria, Carthage, Byzantine. Those sound like good ones to give a whirl. But like Mistfit, I would be willing to go with any. I think I might favor Sumeria for this one though.

 

[King Alexander]

I agree with the Civs, Mistfit has proposed: I haven't played them, except the Americans(only in epic games I've played them).
I'd like to try Sumerians, Dutch, Arabs and Carthaginians.

 

[Mistfit]

It's kinda silly but the reason I've never played the Dutch is because William is so femmy.

 

[sir_schwick]

I'll finish up the settings tomrrow, so make sure and post. I'll start either Friday or Monday, although I am having people over on the weekend so I can't play then. I'll definitely have the next savegame ready by Tuesday.

Make some suggestions though, casuse I'll just list what seems to be popular suggestions. LIke I said, I'm compiling and posting the choices tomorrow in the top post. Also, until we start, please try to just edit your posts. That way the thread doesn't start to grow until game-time(it'll get plenty big).

 

[Mistfit]

@sir_schwick - how do you plan to make the start? 1st time up? get a couple and post - em so we can choose? any more concrete plans for who, what type, and the such one civs land and settings?

@King Alexander - Your Av is one of my Favorites, Lyonesse is a goddess when it comes to Av's.

 

[King Alexander]

- Your Av is one of my Favorites, Lyonesse is a goddess when it comes to Av's.

Thank you, Mistfit. I tried to make the photo resized(my favorite canarin) and still look good(tried to be under the rules for custom avatars) but failed, I haven't work that much with paint programs; Lyonesse did a great job. (btw: I like her avatar, too!). Your avatar is very good, also.

EDIT: I'd prefer to play standard or large map.

 

[Mistfit]

@ Sir_Schwick: Have you ever looked at using Towlie as a Transperancy?

If you still had the original file I could clean it up for you if you liked it this way. (not that there is anything wrong with him the way he is)

Funny enough, I found it on the internet this size. I'll still post the original, because the transparent version does look better. Thank you misfit.

[Mistfit]

These might be a bit better than my 1st atempt. If you find the full size version of it let me know. It kinda looks like they are holding hands

Edit: found another one to try out

I think I like this one the best

 

[Mistfit]

Victory Conditions: Domination or Conquest
Special Conditions: Pre-emptive wars can only be started to aquire a second or first source of a resource or in response to espionage.

How are we going to win by conquest or domination if we can't declare war on someone?

 

[Mauer]

Victory Conditions: Domination or Conquest
Special Conditions: Pre-emptive wars can only be started to aquire a second or first source of a resource or in response to espionage. RoP violation can be considered and acceptable cause for war, althought you have to be able to convince the rest of us they(the AI) were planning a pre-emptive strike and not just be smacktards.

This sounds like it may turn into a cow game, not a Dom/Con.
Sorry mistfit, didn't read your post.
