Third UHV condition is SO boring and not at all challenging either. Just dump cities in Australia and you'll make it easily. Top contender for a new condition

New Indonesia UHV3, or “no u”: Control the Netherlands and all of Japan in 1940

Netherlands

Wat?

 

[cmakk1012]

Wat?

Dutch East Indies in reverse

Change Italy's second UHV to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Acquire a Great Engineer and 3 Great Artists"

I actually once tried to save 4 of these guys and the closest i got was the 3 out of 4 turtles: Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Urbino, Michelangelo. Couldn't get the last one, Donatello sadly...

Da Vince? Isn't it Vinci? Vince just makes me think of that tall basketball kid from Recess.

 

[Logoncal]

It's Da Vinci. I spelled out wrong.
Da Vince sounds like he was the 20th Leonardo.

(Funnily enough, that's actually my first name.)

Another idea: Double the map size and civilisation numbers.

That would be an amazing idea. You would get a toasted CPU and a burnt memory but hey! More is better right? right? RIGHT?!

Building off of this, it has been suggested that the game be converted in a fully 3D globe before, in this very thread even.

I say we go FURTHER BEYOND and convert the map into a 4D hypercube, with sixteen separate games being played at once on each two-dimensional face!

 

[Logoncal]

Oh that was on one of my crybaby threads.

 

[Leoreth]

convert the map into TIMECUBE

What if we made a map with a single row of tiles?

 

[mysterious_stalker]

Better go with the 11 or so dimensions that string theory predicts should exist. Gotta catch 'em all...

Do away with tiles. Make it a single tile. Think outside the box, man. No civilizations, no units, just earth and biology. Then just let the game have infinite turns and see where it goes.

Well I've been recently been thinking of ideas for a civ-like game of my own, and I did have the idea of making the game take place on a grander scale and removing the concept of out of city tiles. Basically cities only work the tile they're built on and by endgame a place like Europe would just be a bunch of City tiles.

Not sure if this idea is dumb, or just really unorthodox...

It was supposed to bring balance to the world, not leave it in Eurocentralism.

Also I'd remove the city bar. What's the point in having a city bar if every tile is a city? It'd be much cleaner for the bar to only come up if you hover over the tile.

Also, just to nitpick my idea was that there wouldn't be cultural borders at all. Not on the coast not on unclaimed land. Units would take the role of claiming and working tiles.

Very good mockup nevertheless!

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Shouldn't Switzerland have cities on the mountains?
Where are the ruins of Doggerland east of England?

Hehe yeah, it wasn't hard to make because the PlatyBuilder now automatically assigns the available dynamic city name when placing the city, so I just had to click on every core and historical tile with each civ. Of course some city names are used for more than one contiguous tiles, so in some places it uses default city names.

It just immediately popped into my head when I read your idea, so I just had to showcase it.

Hmm, I seem to be missing the Switzerland modmod. With the gold vaults, and the ski resorts, and the delicious chocolates!
You mean like an ancient lost civ of Doggerland? That sounds like something out of SCP.

There's no Brussels in the CNM? Seriously?
