CVN4 - The City-States

[Cuivienen]

Hopefully this will be more successful than the AW Byzantines game in the Middle Ages.

I was just poking around in the Scenarios forum and came across this. It certainly sounds like a good SG idea, yes?

So:

Version: Conquests, 1.22
Civ: TBD
Difficulty: TBD (Emperor? DemiGod?)
Rivals: All Others
World: Handmade
Host: Cuivienen
Goal: Win

Roster:
Cuivienen
Open
Open
Open

And, just so yo know, I've made a few additional changes to the scenario from the one posted. The full changes are:

~ Settlers are disabled.
~ The Expansionist trait has been removed.
(The Americans and Inca are AGR&IND, the Portuguese are SEA&REL, the Hittites are SCI&COM, the Arabs are MIL&REL, the Mongols are MIL&IND, the Zulu are MIL&COM and the Russians are MIL&SCI.)
~ AI Respawn is OFF.
~ Culture is retained on capture.

[I've reversed all of the other changes made in the original Scenario such as disabling 20k victory]

So, I need people to sign up, and I need those people to choose a Civ and a difficulty (Emperor or DemiGod are my top choices).

i looked at the link you gave, now that's a really interesting idea. I wouldn't mind joining either emperor or DG.
Civ should have an UU that does not depend on resources, since each island has only one of them.

 

[t3h_m013]

id like to join. Id say emporer and maybe indians?

@Cuivienen

the idea is really fun, but I see the thread stalled. are you intending to get this game rolling?

 

[microbe]

Not a sign up but Deity seems good. Without extra AI settlers the difficulty level is significantly decreased. So it's really about gathering a big stack and taking one AI out at a time. And after one or two captures the rest is much easier. Maybe you should try Sid.

 

[Cuivienen]

Sorry about that, I'm still ready to run this. I'm not sure we should try Deity for the simple reason that the AI will be able to afford huge defensive armies while we will not. I think DemiGod is a good compromise.

We also still need a civ. I'm leaning towards Rome for their multipurpose UU (attack and defense), but the decision is not mine alone.

 

[ThERat]

yah, I guess DG would be fine. I am currently playing the Romans in SG RAT01. powerful, if you got the iron resources. I wouldn't mind playing them again for this variant

 

[gozpel]

I was thinking of joining, but won't have time for another SG right now, so I just follow this.

(edited out drunken comment)

Good luck.
