GOTM 36 spoiler

Come join us in the No Wonders Succession game (under Stories & Tales) - Tim and I have both promised no black-clicking!
(shameless plug...)
 
I've been lurking around here for a couple of weeks, and decided to try the GOTM - unfortunately Deity is a bit beyond my abilities at the minute :cry: ! After 6 or 7 attempts, I have had to give up, and wait for the next game.

I used to play with a heavily modified rules.txt file, and so uninstalled and reinstalled from the CD to follow GOTM rules (no modified rules.txt) - but I am still not sure that mine is now correct. I seem to remember that in Deity, your first civilian is unhappy - in this game my first civilian was content, is this correct or am I still picking up an old modded rules file? Didn't see any unhappiness until about the 5th or 6th city.

Have now downloaded Feb's game and am hoping for more success

:D

Dave

P.S. Had an interesting finding in this game - created a city on a 1x1 island and fortified (slept?) a trireme in it. It sank as it wasn't close enough to shore :confused:
 
In Deity your first citizen is content. The second one should be unhappy. After 5-6 cities the first one should be unhappy under Despotism; 7-8 under Monarchy (also depends on map size).

Your 1x1 island city problem is one of the little-known anomalies of Civ2. If you leave the trireme next to the city it will be OK; when it is within the city it looks at the surrounding tiles and sees no land, so it "rolls the dice" for foundering at sea.
 
The occurence of additional unhappy citizens occurs as you build more and more cities as elephant was pointing out. I believe this is based on corruption levels. Since despotism has a much greater level of corruption it naturally will have more unhappy people. When you do build enough cities to start creating additional unhappy people, I am fairly sure that the cities that are the furthest from your capital are affected first. For example, if you happen to get an advanced tribe well away from your capital, and continue expanding at home, once you hit the threshhold city number, that far off city will be the first to gain the unhappy citizen. Whenever you found a new city, its always a good idea to check out all your cities in the attitude advisor screen to see where additional unhappy citizens were added, if any (each new city always produces one, but sometimes it isn't apparent because of luxuries or military overcoming the unhappiness).

The hanging gardens can be used to "cheat" the unhappiness system, since the code for it seems a little buggy. As long as you leave no military in a city, you can have a very very large number of size 1 or 2 cities, always having that 1 happy person to keep the city content. The key there is not having military (in the city, I usually leave it adjacent on a square with the best defensive position), since for some reason once military is introduced the city will often become more discontent regardless of the government (this phenom. only occurs once you reach a very large city number).

Philip II the Terrible
 
Looking back, I think I could have beaten 1800. I was too concerned about having enough gold to keep the spaceship parts going once I started, I delayed a couple turns to make extra Food and Gold freights. The other civs started getting frisky, but not bad enough to derail things; I was just being to cautious. I could have built a better ship chain to Greece for Gold freights too.

The site was not bad, but the only two of the specials were really "high-trade". The other site on the river might have been better, but would have had no ocean access so bribing a ship would have been the biggest issue. I was hoping I might get an AI city on my island later, but no dice. I grabbed LH, GW and KRC after launch, just for the fun of it. I even bribed a Battleship!
 
When I did an OCC game for fun, I chose to turn all the normal grassland/river squares to forest river - seems like it really helps. I placed my city 1 below the nearest hidden resource, so it had ocean access along with river + silk. My landing date wasn't too hot for first try - only 1949 - but I didn't remember the caravan spaceship deal at the time.
