GBM's Exploring Conquests - Preperation and signup

[Gingerbread Man]

I have a bit of a plan here. Civ3: Conquests is coming out on the 14th (for everyone, not just US). Now, I was thinking that we should try the conquests in a Succession game.

Over the next few months, I am going to open some succession games. Here is the plan:
Game 1 - Play The World Epic game, a preperation game. It will be a goodbye PTW game. Emporer/Diety Level

Game 2 - Conquests Epic game. difficulty To be decided

Game 3 - A Conquest. The only rule? You must NOT have played the conquest before. Ever. I dont know about difficulty on this one

This will be a semi-open SG. There will be a roster of up to 8 people, and only they can play the game. When the save is posted, any of these 8 people may post 'got it' and play. Only one rule - you cannot claim the save if you have played one of the previous two games.
The semi-open SG is being done to keep the pace of the game up, but also to remove the feeling of aimlessness that most open SGs have.

First person gets 20 turns, everyone else gets 10 turns. If there is lots of interest, I may run two teams.

Sign up, remind me of all the changes in Conquests we can mod in, and discuss which conquest we will play.

PARTICIPATING PLAYERS:
Gingerbread Man
Player 2
Player 3

Just a small hint from a beta tester...the changes in c3c are in fact so fundamental, that it could be a waste of time to play a 'Preperation game'. Most important changes obviously cannot be incorporated with the ptw editor (traits, Scientific Gls,...), and remember, Jeff_Atari mentioned over 250 changes were made! If I were you, I'd better set up a 'Good bye, ptw!'- SG.

Ok then, Game 1 is a Goodbye PTW game. I guess it would be futile to try to simulate Conquests. Now I feel sorry for Cracker.

Are there any takers? Come on! this will be great fun!

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Anybody? Come on, it will be FUN!

Wow, somebody replied!

So the roster is:

CivGeneral

When we have five people, I will start the first game.

kryszcztov is starting a diety level conquests game that is also having troubles with recruits. For your game two, we could combine his game and with your game 2 to get a single game that has enough people (Game 3 sounds interesting BTW but I am ENTIRELY booked in terms of SG's)

Anyway talk to him about it if you have any interest. One problem is too many games are starting up at once so getting recruits is harder than usual.

Civgeneral, do you think you could handle a diety game if we did this?
