Game Saturn

[Elucidus]

Imagine having huts and no tech trading...completly imbalances the game.

 

[Hercules90]

I just got a map from one hut and a small amount of gold from another.

 

[hell_hound]

FFS everyone is on there fourth or fifth hut and I have only had the one you always get just outside your starting borders

 

[plako]

Also plako got a freebie tech too... almost missed it thanks to his position in the turn log, but look, his score increased twice!

Yeah, I got my first tech from the hut alongside the researched one.

I will surely have to meet someone soon, just went from somewhat north of my continent, where my capital is, to the southern end of the continent, on tundra. Anyone stuck on tundra?

Dux: You've traveled from top to bottom already? How big is this map...?

If you read carefully, Dux is at the south pole. He's only reached the northern end of his continent. Navigating from the north pole to the south pole would be impossible this early on a huge map anyway.

Humans also tend to leave their capitals completely defenseless in an early game unless its a very hostile environment. Quechua vs undefended city isn't very good odds for the defender.

No, it isn't.

Looks like Toch got more hut goodness, yay.

Congrats, Toch.

All these huts are certainly turning me off wanting them in future games. The amount of free techs they're throwing off to everyone is ridiculous... who needs strategy in planning your early tech path?

Yeah, it's a bit unbalanced. Luckily we can all tech trade after Alphabet though, which tends to even things out a little.

Indeed.

Not everyone. I've only got two, and at the first opportunity one of them gave me barbs. The other gave me a tech, but a useless one for my position.

 

[DMOC]

I got 6 huts so far (I think). 2 gave me gold and 4 provided me with maps.

 

[Joshua368]

Off topic, but DMOC, plako, and Hercules, your boring default civ names are cramping us cool civs' style. You need to go pick some sort of hilarious or wacky theme to name yourself after.

 

[DMOC]

Cool. I'll go with Obama of the American empire then. Well, maybe.

 

[Elucidus]

Don't make me target you.

 

[Joshua368]

Well you can't change your leader (well you can but it'd be confusing and you'd have to log in with it) so just the nation itself. Of course you can always do the Obamanation as I'm sure everyone still loves that pun.

Well you asked for it. Now you must bevare the power of Donald Duck, Barbie, Deepdownfear or Flash McQueen, when United Toys Empire starts to expand.

 

[Elucidus]

Game was down briefly, but it is back up. I had to reboot the server.

 

[Lord Parkin]

Don't make me target you.

Not a fan of the man, I take it.

Oh dear... how much worse can we get?

 

[Dux_]

My exploring sucks, I'm exploring the southern tip of the continent, & no more huts yet. I only got 2 in total so far.

 

[Toch]

i was just wondering, what happens if two units of else nations, are standing next to hut and both have orders for next turn to get hut.

And same situation in war what happens, if you are going to capture empty city, with unit next to it, with order to go there.

 

[Elucidus]

Whoever logs in first their units will automove first, I believe at the end of their turn.

 

[Lord Parkin]

Yep, that's correct.

I won't get political on you, but instead just say that my annual pay raises tend to suck when a democrat is in office and we often lose other benefits. Just going by the trend.

In war, there's a code of war sort of, where the players involved make their turns in a set order based on who let the initial strike, so that the war is turn-based and no one doublemoves.

As for in peacetime for things like huts, the early bird catches the worm.

 

[Toch]

Thx guys.
