There's a bit of a grey area in the rules. What if the AI comes calling with demands? Must we consult with the team before risking war with a refusal?

Downloaded the save into a folder named 'DArt01' and renamed the file to 'DArt01_4000_BC.SAV'.

Now what?

There's a bit of a grey area in the rules. What if the AI comes calling with demands? Must we consult with the team before risking war with a refusal?

As I understand the rules, they are to prevent us as players from committing the team/game to a direction that may not be wise. On our own, we should not make war, etc., without team discussion.

In this case you mention, the player has to decide what to do. I don't think the game can be saved at that point (during negotations, but I haven't tried to save there) and in any case, the AI came to us, not us to the AI.

Must have a picture please.

Tribute, you are hereby declared up.

If someone demands something and their military is strong or average compared to us, you must discuss. If it is weak, it's your call.

Just wondering how one goes about training. I would have expect more details for the newest players to gain some insight.

I do not see any mention of what the worker did in 4000BC, what the research selection and sliders setting were.

ZZZ is fine for a std SG, but how can a real trainee learn anything from that? I mean worker moves occurred did they not? An improvement was done, what where and why. Those are the things I would think are the most valuable to see for new players. Otherwise why call it a training game.

I just wonder, as I have seen a lot of training SG's, but I was never sure what the training was trying to accomplish, other than to say we won with this or that conditon.

Anyway sorry I felt compelled to at least mention it. Please feel free to ignore it.

3200 BC. Why should you know?

What is that supposed to mean?

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Why should you know means zzz... in my story.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

lurker's comment: It might make sense to double check the science slider. There's no point running it at 100% to get a tech in 50 if running it at 10% would also get it in 50 and build your bank account.

Agree with vmxa that a bit more detail in the log would help. What exactly did that worker mine? Is he also roading? Where was Paris settled? Near a river? On the coast? If you're already got a second settler, where is he headed? Are there any luxury bonus tiles in sight? Why are you researching Writing, and what should come next after that?

Sorry if I've jumped in before Bede has commented. Feel free to ignore my comments as well.

 

[scoutsout]

I take it you guys aren't going to do comparative starts?

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Should we start over with a brand-new roster or stick with the old roster?

 

[scoutsout]

I don't see why you would want to change the roster... I was just wondering out loud if each member of the team was going to play from the opening start.... it might be a good way to pick up some pointers on opening moves...

But I'll shut up now.

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Oh never mind.

If someone demands something and their military is strong or average compared to us, you must discuss. If it is weak, it's your call.

Artagnan, you can't get out of the game and discuss.
P.S. Screenie pleaz?

 

[conquer_dude]

Uhh... can you post a roster? I'm like, oblivious of everything right now...

I even forgot I was in this.
