Conquest of the World

[kingfire87]

Along with those other annoyances about how not correct, I have seen plenty of other maps that look weird. For example, in one, Ireland and England were connected and Greece and Italy were just a blob put together.

IIRC, when this map is loaded in Vanilla, it says, "Zach Wilson, September 2001." I don't know who that is other than the map creator, but whether he was a Firaxis employee or a CivFanatics/Apolyton member, his map made Vanilla 1.07.

I think it is the same map, as it has the "old" Huge dimensions.

WELCOME TO CFC, hrl1994! You are number 12 (or is it 13? Or more?) To make a first post in this thread.

Hey quint, why don't you just steal the Babylonian's plans?

Or does a spy end if there's no capital for it to be in?

I have been lurking on these forums for a while and I think that this story is one of the best I have read!

Welcome to CFC! I'm finally starting to remember the welcome smilies!

You can't perform any spy actions on an enemy without a city (beyond seeing what troops they have). All spy actions will become available again if the enemy regains control of a city, however. So we just have to wait till either our ships find them or they find a city (at which all we really have to do is send in a Modern Armor - we'll see where the city is right away).

 

[3Davideo]

Well, if a spy can see what troops they have, then the spy must be with them. Can't one just contact the spy and ask him/her where they are? </reality check>

Or maybe the spy is a stowaway without GPS or radio or stars or anything. Or maybe the Babs would intercept the radio transmission. I don't think the babs have radio though.

Can´t you just gift them a city, Quint?

 

[kingfire87]

Wait, are you saying that if he gifted them a city, he could see all their units and the city with a spy? Actually, if Quint gave them a weak city surrounded by his units, that might just work.

 

[choxorn]

He'd have to make peace with them, maybe?

 

[Frozen In Ice]

And once you sign a peace treaty, I think you're required to stay at peace for 10 turns.

 

[D'Artagnan59]

20, actually.

 

[General Mayhem]

Actually, there's no "requirement" that you stay at peace that long...

 

[Tasslehoff]

There's no requirement, but Quint wants a clean rep. That means no breaking peace treaties.

 

[Dezzilisk]

Just get the peace treaty in a deal that will last until war is redeclared?

Doesnt that mean that you can redeclare straight away without having to wait 20 turns?

 

[Tasslehoff]

No, no matter what, you get your rep hurt if you declare in less than 20 turns after making peace.

 

[choxorn]

SCREW REPUTATION!!!

 

[3Davideo]

How about allying with America or some other friendly nation (don't think there is one) against the babs, or does Quint want to rack up his kill count? The AI seems particularly able to have ESP regarding positions on things like island location; why can't they find a boat?

It's on a galleon, right?

 

[Dezzilisk]

Hes pretty much won anyway, a rep hit at this point wouldnt do much seeing as he can afford to pay through the teeth for ROP and MPP

 

[Tasslehoff]

It's not that the rep hit hurts, it's that he wants to win clean.
