choxorn 01: Low level training game

[choxorn]

Yeah, kill fire, Buce, and cody need to vote soon.

 

[Whomp]

OK let's get this ball rolling folks. What would be the most useful is each of you take the opening save and play 20 turns. We can gain great knowledge by comparing results.

Wouldn't it be a waste of time to build them at all? A GA could be triggered anytime after flight with the U/U. I was speculating on getting one at an earlier time with the wonders.

Think about how significant it would be to launch your GA for a space or domination victory when Hoover's comes in. All of the important builds would be in place (markets, libs, unis) and would be a launching pad for your victory condition. This will take some pre-build planning to accomplish so it will be very useful in the training process.

OT choxorn are you taking Sima's game or am I?

 

[Bucephalus]

My preferences are: Standard World, Warm, Wet, and 5,000,000,000. No Barbs.
I would like to see us go for a Space Victory; my wins are always by conquest/domination. I think UN option enabled runs the risk of a really interesting game ending prematurely, and personally always disable it.

My choice would be for us to accept offers of help in making this a training game. Oh yeah, and let's choose a 'handicapped' civ; with random opponents.

All that said, this is Choxorn's gig, and I'll happily defer to what he decides.

 

[goodsmell]

I would like defer to what he decides too , let's give him the pleasure to challenge the roster by his decisions ? or let's go for Whomp's idea ? each one will start 20turns with different preferences and we'll compare ( let choxorn decide will be much faster )

 

[goodsmell]

btw I forgot a detail , how many Rivals do we want ?

 

[The 777 Hoax]

- Standard
- Sedentary or Roaming barbs, doesn't matter to me
- Temperate
- Normal
- 5 billion
- Random is okay, I guess, but Carthage or Ottomans would be really cool.

 

[Whomp]

If it's a standard map I'd use the default number of random civs. If you go with an expansionist civ without barbs you'll add another handicap.

I would like to see you guys all play the same initial save since it will be a great learning tool. The first 20 turns are so critical in the end game and will be very useful in the learning process.

 

[goodsmell]

Well I got started , randomly got Carthage .. I'ma lil tired maybe it's not that good start , anyway:

1. 4000BC - Settler near a Caost , and builds "Carthage" starts Warrior.
We've a Game and river, worker sent 1W

2. 3950BC - raise science 100% +0gpt ( we lose nothing ) reaserching Bronze Working

3. 3900BC - nothing

4. 3850BC - worker finishes a road and goes to Irrigate

5. 3800BC - Carthage-Warrior->Warrior .. I sent Warrior explore SE

6. 3750BC - nothing

7. 3700BC - nothing special

8. 3650BC - I finish my ciggaret

9. 3600BC - Carthage Warrior->Settler . Warrior sent North

10. 3550BC - nothing

11. 3500BC - We're cultural expanding, I can see 3wines northen near Tundra and I guess near a Coast which looks like a good spot

12. 3450BC - there are Hills and Furs east .

13. 3400BC - zzzz

14. 3350BC - 1turn for Bronze working

15. 3300BC - Bronze working--> Warrior Code ( we need some attacking millitary ) for 11turns

16. 3250BC - zzzz

17. 3200BC - zzz...

18. 3150BC - zzzz..

19. 3100BC - nothing

20. 3050BC - Sugar again near Coast hill on plains, But I can see grassland next..


Notes* I think Carthage is now need a Barracks, and don't forget our advantage with our Numidian Mercenary which good both for defense and offense
I hope you decide the Spots for settle, I'm afraid to wrong with that .

Here what is all about :

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Yes! Carthage!

 

[Whomp]

Man, it's like herding cats with you guys.

Are you going to each play your own save or this save?

Specifically, I'd like you to discuss goodsmell's worker moves, research choice, his build choice, can we can disseminate from the minimap and how we can find out about the other civs in the game. Would anyone like to comment on goodsmell's turns?

 

[scoutsout]

If this is a training game, playing comparative starts from the 4kBC save can be really useful...

@goodsmell: Thanks for posting screenies.

 

[choxorn]

I think we have to do comparitive starts now. Goodsmell, what were your settings? I think we should all use the same settings. As for civ, we can do random. This is going to get interesting.

 

[Whomp]

Choxorn when Scout says comparative starts it means everyone plays the same save that goodsmell played. There's a lot to learn from playing that way to see different opening styles, builds, research etc.

It's either that or play your own save and we'll evaluate that way. I prefer everyone play the save opening save and compare. Your call(s).

 

[conquer_dude]

I thought I was in this?

 

[choxorn]

@conquer: You said you might join. And you didn't. Anyway, we have a full roster now, so it's too late to join.
@Whomp: We can do that if scoutsout goodsmell still has the 4000 BC save.

 

[conquer_dude]

I thought I said I'd join.

Whatever then.

 

[Whomp]

@Whomp: We can do that if scoutsout still has the 4000 BC save.

I think you mean the original 4000 BC save from goodsmell.

 

[Bucephalus]

What is occuring here? Last time I looked we were still discussing settings, now 'goodsmell' appears to have unilaterally started a game.

Choxorn: This is your gig, I think you need to execise your authority by making a few decisions; and the first one should be whether to continue in this haphazard fashion or allow (the incredibly patient) 'Whomp' to advise and organise. I suggest the latter.

 

[goodsmell]

Do you guys want me to upload the save of 4000BC ? I guess we can with continiue that cuz we got Carthage by Random, and we've good spot to settle , Coast , Game , and 3wines north to our Capital .. If my 20turns are too newbie I can upload the start with no problems , but let's just play that save !

about my turns , I started with researching Bronze Working since we can build Numidian, he has 2attack3defense .. maybe I got mistake I kept with Warrior code when we already have an attacker and defense in one unit , it means we won't spent productions on Archers and Spearman , Just build an army of Numidian and conquer the first we meet

 

[goodsmell]

btw , I need to know if the SAVE works ..
Cuz I just installed GraphicMod, Instead of placing him in Scenario's folder I placed him in the Art folder .
