The world is not enough
Since a new succession game has not been started I'm thinking of doing so this week assuming there is enough interest (and before the Civ2 "Stories & Tales" section dies down ). However, it's probably a good idea to discuss some game parameters. My idea is something like this:
Deity+3
Barbs+1 ("Barbarian Wrath")
Mapsize 172x58 (=9976 squares; the maximum is 10000)
Large landmass
Continents (or possibly varied)
Possibly a flat map
Restarts on
Spaceship on but only the AI is allowed to build one
Aggressive/expansionist/militaristic opponents like Russians/Celts, Zulus, Vikings, Spanish, Greeks/English, Mongols/Indians
Possibly no city bribes
Probably unit bribes
Barbs can be bribed
This should make the game extremely challenging; we might actually not succeed in winning. The AI civs should have a lot of land to expand and grow big (the AI civs are chosen with this in mind), there will be a lot of barbs and the size of the map could make it difficult to find someone to exchange techs with or become allied with early on (crucial at D+n).
Not too many restrictions, except for no spaceship win, and possibly some restrictions on bribing. Fundamentalism should be avoided unless absolutely necessary to win.
Suggestions and criticism welcome.
