DI1 - 3CC AW (Look at me I'm insane!)

[DisruptiveIdiot]

My first SG and I decided to take my name to heart

Map settings :

Size : Small
Land : Pangea
Barbarians : Roaming (3CC and AW)
Climate : Wet
Temp : Warm
Age : 4 Billion
Difficulty : Regent preferably, Amirsan's 5CC AW seems to be going fine but with two less cities it will be quite a ride
No culturally linked, no respawn, no accelerated production
Victories : 20 K Cultural

Oooh gotcha there

Civ : Up for debate

Rules : 3 Cities only, if you don't know the AW rules :
We must declare on civs the turn we meet them; we may make deals with them before the end of the turn but no 20 turn deals. You must declare war on them before ending the turn.

Roster :

Melifluous
Andvruss
Disruptiveidiot (I'm a coward)
????
And maybe a fifth spot

The first person can take 40 turns on the first round if they choose. After that 20 turns until industrial than it's 10 turns.

 

[andvruss]

Hey, I'd like to join. I'm pretty comfortable with regent, but these 2 variants will be a challenege.... . I just ask that I not be the first player to start out.

 

[Belisar]

"Obviously the only feasible goal is Conquest."

Hmm... Difficult variant.
A 20k victory may be also feasible.

 

[DisruptiveIdiot]

You're in andvruss! What spot do you want on the roster?

Belisar : Fine, no conquest just Cultural victory. Happy?

 

[andvruss]

Second or fourth would be preferrable.......

 

[DisruptiveIdiot]

2nd spot it is. Hopefully more people will get interested.

 

[amirsan]

Nice varient... wonder where you got it from. I'd like to see this one also. Not joining though, you know why... Good Luck though!

 

[DisruptiveIdiot]

Meh, if no one joins in 24 hours I'm deleting this opting for a more interesting variant.

 

[andvruss]

This is a very interesting variant, just give it a little more time....

 

[amirsan]

Yes, one it took me 7 days to start one of my SGs, you just got to give it more time.

 

[DisruptiveIdiot]

Alright. I'll give it 2 weeks.

 

[mad-bax]

I am tempted to join, but I am over-committed already. Also I think it is probably too difficult a variant for me. With 3 cities and AW, getting AA wonders will be very risky, and also I don't have any AW experience.

Good luck! I think you're going to need it.

 

[andvruss]

If this game gets off the ground- A note of absence: I will be away from August 6th to 14th. If I am up, please skip me. Sorry for the short notice.

 

[DisruptiveIdiot]

Alright; *sigh* I'm thinking this is gonna drop dead...

This is a very interesting variant. I dont think this kind (3CC AW) has every been attempted. If you give it a little more time, I think people will join, but thats just my opinion......

Please sirs...

Can I join?

Regent 3CC AW 20k ...

Too good to pass up.

Melifluous

 

[DisruptiveIdiot]

Sure of course you can sign up; just tell me what spot on the roster you want.

 

[Melifluous]

Hmm I would be so bold to suggest 1st...

I'll start the thing and get us going.

I wont settler anywhere without first checking the boards...

Might be an idea to consider. We will have but 3 cities and should all be involved in deciding where they go.

Civs

Militaristic Expansionist? For Scouts and Armies (We gotta fight right?)

or Scientific/Religious for easy culture building builds?

Dunno.

My Tuppence...

Melifluous

 

[Speaker]

Expansionist is wasted in AW in my opinion because you will not want to scout like in a normal game. The later you can prolong contact, the better off you will be. Militaristic is a must, I think, to maximize your chance at Great Leaders (by having more elites). I am not signing up by the way, but just wanted to give you my 2 kroner.

 

[Belisar]

The 'big 4' for an AW game are:

industrious, militaristic, scientific and a good, early UU (ancient or medieval)

While you can't have all of them, the more the better.

Civs like China, Persia, Rome, Germany.....
