CTR 1 -- Jump Without Looking -- Interest Thread

[inudog]

I would like to put on as an alternate if it is already full. I have (and only have) Vanilla Civ III. GOTM 19 is my first Emporer game and I am doing alright, but would like to be better :grad:

Earp: welcome to the CFC and welcome to the club of never-won-on-emperor-but-doing-well-sofar-in-GOTM19. I think Cracker has set that game up to be doable. We'll have to be lucky to get a start like that here.

ChrTh: Good idea about the starting location election. Can't wait to see them. Even the dicussion which one to choose could be interesting.

On the topic of civs: the timing of our golden age is something to consider, and in what age we want to have that will depend on what kind of victory cool: ) we target.

You are first alternate. You'll also be added to the initial invite list for CTR3 -- In It til We Win It (more on this later)

We're going to be running on 1.29f, so as to be most inclusive.

On the Civ choice, I'm thinking Industrious/Religious, which is (checks the info center, closes annoying pop-up ads--so should we not drink Powerade because that's what the Matrix wants us to do?)...Egyptian. Hrm, not happy with the early UU. Does anybody have qualms about going with Japanese (Military/Religious, later UU)?
My preferences are Japanese, then Egyptian, then Chinese.

Our opposing Civs will be:
Americans
French Joan
Indians
English
Iroquois
Persians

(No militaristic, 1 less than normal)
Standard Map, 40% land, random climate, continents, pray that Xerxes doesn't build on Iron.

let me know if anyone disagrees with what I've posted

EDIT: Oh yeah, I will be posting a new thread for the actual game. Look for that one tonight.

ChrTh: Wow, you must have hit a creative vain, so many good ideas for SGs. I'm ok with Japan, had fun with them in the tourny (chieftain level of course ). I'll look for the new thread tomorrow morning (different time zone...) at work. Gotta love the internet!

Space <--- needing to check ChrTh's nick every time to get the letters in the correct sequence

I would rather have Japanse or Chinese. Both are Militaristic which we will need in this game. The sticking point will be do we want the other characteristic to be religous or industrious.

The Germans would be okay but they have a late GA. The Egyptians have a GA that is too early.

Vanilla CivIII 1.29f is fine with me.

Chrth, your two upcoming games also look interesting.

Let's get this train rollin. It will be either a streamroller or a massive train wreck.

Japan sounds good to me. Do you want our timezones to determine the play order? I'm in the central time zone. GMT-6?

 

[Wanderer]

Version : pwt 1.14 (max) or civ 1.29
Civ : Military, and maybe Indust ? We may need indust to catch up on all the free AI units etc.

Time Zone gmt +2 (south africa ... a long long way away !!)

Please post pointer to actual thread here - kinda as a closing post ! And Please don't play me too early - the schedule you showed looked good !
