Do You Play With AI Respawn On or Off?

[jalapeno_dude]

Personally, I play with it off. I generally try to destroy my neighbors early, and hate having to kill them again on huge maps.

yes or no? i asume yes=on? no=off?

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Moderator-please change options to "on" and "off" !

yes, sorry

I play with this option off because whenever I think about it, it's unfair since when you get distroyed you don't get respawned like the AI does.

I never play with re-spawning enabled.

When I get eliminated, its Game Over, so I don't see why the AI's should get a second chance.

Usually off

I don't know about this unfairness by the AI. When the AI eliminates me, it doesn't keep playing for hours and gloating and renaming my former cities, it just steps aside so I can try again.

And thank goodness I don't have to scurry around as a respawn after getting whipped one time already!

I do leave respawn on, and bear in mind that a really early respawn will be more powerful than the lucky-snuffed civ. Thus I won't take out a civ too soon if given the chance.

Off. Once I kill them, I want them dead.

I play with it off but if it was on it wouldnt really matter. I am a slow conquerer and play on huge maps. Unless a civ is real close by the time I get around to conquering my first civ the map is usually filled up with cities.

What I miss from Civ2 is the Civil wars that spawn a new Civ from an existing Civ. Like if China had extreme unhappiness, Civil war may occur and maybe a couple cities would seperate to form a new Civ maybe called Japan. I might turn on re-spawn if they incorporated this feature.

I play with it off. not sure that that is a "yes" or a "no".

 

[jorge_roberto]

I've never seen this happening. I avoid to exterminate a entire civilization.

 

[Lumin]

As much as i like to keep killing the comps, I usually play with the option off.

 

[NeonInfusion]

I play with the option on only if I play on a scenario where I have a tiny map with all the civs on, because half get eliminated in the first few turns.

 

[Raijer]

I like to play with that option off, in fact, I always have. After reading Sean's post, however, I probably should give the respawn a try, just for kicks.

 

[DBear]

If I go to the trouble of killing a civ dead, it's STAYING dead! :slay:

 

[Blasphemous]

I play with it off...
I dread the memory of the time (very early in my career as Ruler Of Worlds) I killed the greeks and then had to send my brand-new knights on a 30-turn trip to their new location... When they got back home I upgraded them to Cavalry. ><

 

[Tom|420]

I turned it off after I had to kill Americans and English twice in the same game.

I would like this option more if a new civ was settled instead of respawning the same one. It would be less frustrating.
