D'Artagnan01: Low-level Training Day

[Tribute]

I've got some experience with barbarians.... I just hate how it requires land based military builds. Curragh! Curragh! Craw, craw, craw.

I vote for emperor making a majority for emperor. AnsarKing will be trained well, right?

 

[choxorn]

I'm 99.99999% sure Emporor is the majority.
@vmxa: What I meant was, Plant forests on tundra if your workers have nothing better to do.
@Commando: Maybe we should make a "1000 reasons your Civ3 management skills need help (if there isn't one already)" thread.

Hmm, now where is the pressure? The teacher to teach or the learner to learn?

That depends... but the short answer is 'yes'.

You gents have the wrong end of the stick: the real pressure is for the teacher to learn and learner to teach.

10. Your first build is the Pyramids.
Or the Collosus- wonder addiction in general is bad.

lurker's comment: The Colossus has been my fourth build (after a pair of curraghs and a worker) before, IIRC...usually a temple before that though. Of course I also build a colosseum as soon as possible, and I use OCP and ICS (yes, in the same game). Quite rampant wonder addiction as well. But since you're not restricting what you can build (what you start with not counting as being built, obviously), you should of course stray far from such things.

Edit: My mistake, the restriction is not what can be built (although I've played two games like that with Bede et al.), but on what can be held (although whether this restriction applies at any point or at the end of the turn may vary; it doesn't really matter with the victory condition I strive for).

Sounds like micromanagement...

I seem to remember expressing a very similar sentiment to a former student of your in MSN chat last night.

So... does anybody have a screenshot of the starting position? Opening moves are a very important component of the game. It might even be worthwhile to have everybody play the opening, and compare results.

 

[choxorn]

@Tim: I've done things like that before You should pretty much always build a warrior as your first unit for exploration reasons. And you shouldn't build wonders until you have your second, maybe third city and a good location to build them. If you don't have any more cities, your missing out on 50 or more turns in the expansion phase and it might be all your hard work for nothing. And no good location=AI might have better location=AI will finish it before you.

I guess the file is France, Emperor, Continents, Raging, Temperate/Wet, Temperate, 4 bil-5 bil, and I delayed the water vote.

Water percentage:
60%-0
70%-1
80%-0

You must vote for water percentage. There needs to be a tiebreaker for geology and climate.

 

[D'Artagnan59]

Roster full. All newcomers must break ties.

I will not be able to load the save file until the ties are broken or Sunday.

I will PM you my email for the file. You must return with your email in the PM. Hopefully Sunday I will get to you. Once you get it, post a got it message.

Cheers,
D'Artagnan

I don't mind what's chosen.

 

[Tribute]

How about randomizing the ties? If we get the one neither voted for, then it looks like nobody wins anyway. (That's supposed to be a good thing. Like a compromise.)

Water percentage: (but of course this all depends on the continent we're on. We don't want to be stuck all alone. Island fortress = win!
60%-1
70%-1
80%-0

 

[Bahzell]

Oh I agree with both comments Tribute made. Ties should be random and I hate starting with no one to trade with/beat on.

60%-2
70%-1
80%-0

 

[Bucephalus]

60%-2
70%-2
80%-0

 

[CommandoBob]

Random is good on a tie-breaker.

I want a little more land, so 60%.

60%-3
70%-2
80%-0

 

[Bede]

Water:
60%-3
70%-3 (more fresh water opportunities)
80%-0

@TheGascon,

I will PM you my email for the file. You must return with your email in the PM. Hopefully Sunday I will get to you. Once you get it, post a got it message.

The best way to move files around is the forum attachment feature. That way everybody is in on the fun (including lurkers)

Problem: Land Mass/Water coverage and Climate/Temp./Geo are randomized together.

3. Your one worker is busy clearing jungles. In the Ancient Age.

I found an exception to this. Check this out!
