Goz4 - S.c.r.a.p (c3c-1.22)

[gozpel]

With too many "serious" games on my schedule, I wanted to start an easier game that we play without any pressure. Of course, it won't be too easy, as we will play on Emperor.

There are only two rules:

No barracks ever. We can't build them or keep them if we conquer a city. And of course we can't build Sun Tzu So no vets or upgrades.

Second rule is just silly, but I want it anyways. Every player chose a letter from the title and have to rename all their units (settlers excluded). So if you chose "S" all your units names must start with S and this has to be done before you hand the game over to the next player.

When the next player opens the save and find ANY units not renamed (Warrior, Archer etc.), they will be disbanded on the spot.

Chose your names to not be abusive and try to make them funny. Please no 20-character names, try to keep them short.

Civ and map and stuff: To be discussed.

5 players, pick your letter and you play in that order.

Roster:
S - gozpel
C - TheNemesis666
R - Cuivienen
A - matthewv
P - Tinkez
E - bed_head7

Remember, this game is only for fun. If someone mess up stuff, we are allowed to laugh at it. Not a rule, but a preference

 

[matthewv]

Sounds like fun
I'll take A.

 

[gozpel]

Sure thing matt, A is forever yours

 

[Cuivienen]

I'll join and take R.

 

[gozpel]

Welcome Cuivienen, R and middle elf

 

[Nick014]

heh. Just my luck that the newest open game is also by gozpel. This is not a signup however. I'd rather wait for gozgram 3, and I only have time for 1 sg right now. Best of luck, however, not being able to upgrade is going to be a pain.

edit: just downloaded 1.22. They got rid of radio??? I have been out of it for a while

Here's an Idea. Make the point of the game a military win, but you can only attack with your own units (named by you). To add to that, you could see who has the most units left at the end . Now THAT sounds like fun.

I actually had that in mind, but it would be for the later game. Early on a few people could get stuck building infra and such and wouldn't have many of their "own" units.

But for the later game, sure! I think we can manage to figure out a way to even it out.

 

[TheNemesis666]

I'm keen, I'll take S.
(when you say no vet's I assume you mean no units produced as vets, or do we have to disband any unit that promotes ;-)

EDIT: oh, S means i have to start, I'll take C instead please.

 

[gozpel]

Nemesis, you got C

Vets and elites are ok when promoted, we don't have to be too tough on ourselves

 

[Tinkez]

I'll take the P then. Bring on the fun!

 

[gozpel]

Tinkez take the last slot, which means I will start.

Ok SCRAP-team, time to discuss the settings.
---------

Standard map is all I thought of so far, so do you guys want Pangea, Continents or Archipelago?

Civs I haven't played for a some time is Iroquois, Japan and Sumeria and we need at least a decent UU.

Another thing I thought of, should we rename workers, or play them as neutral? Later on we might get lots of workers and it can be a pain to keep track on slaves and such. So I suggest we don't rename them, only military units.

Ok, throw in your ideas.

 

[Epimethius]

Just an idea from a lurker who's never played an SG, but you could do the letter thing for the cities, as well. Though that would get really confusing.

 

[bed_head7]

Too bad there isn't an extra letter you can add to scrap somewhere.

 

[SesnOfWthr]

lurker's comment: Well, adding an "E" to the end would be a real word still.

But that would be a difficult letter to use, methinks.

 

[bed_head7]

I could make it work.

 

[TheNemesis666]

Japan sounds good, I haven't played them in a while, and they have a nicely timed UU. I would prefer a cont or pangea map but don't really mind.

 

[Tinkez]

I would like to play pangaea once in a while. Been playing too much archipelago and continents, so some landmass would suit me

Though I do not want too much of it, so max water too

As a civ an expansionist for a pangaea would be great -> iroquois.

And no worker renaming. Otherwise all of our workers must be disbanded after my turns

 

[gozpel]

bed_head is begging to join, I'm always lenient with rules and stuff. Do we want another player, SCRAP-team? We can make it s.c.r.a.p.e and it will mean we have to work with 6 divisions later. I don't think that is a problem, after all, we can make bed_head canteen manager

I'm kind of divided here, Iro's or Japan.

Nemesis mentions Pangea and Japan, a sure bet.
Tinkez Pangea and Iro's, also a sure bet.

Alright with 2 votes on Pangea, we will have that I suppose, if noone expresses other and better ideas.

If we play Pangea, I go for Iro. Samurais are too strong really and make it too easy. Mounted Warriors though are a different species and I like everything quick. And they are earlier and won't need an optional tech.

So I say Pangea and Iroquois. I haven't played them in a very long time.

I DO like the samurais, but do we want it to be too easy? I can always change my mind if someone convince me

 

[TheNemesis666]

I'm happy with Iro (I love the agricultural trait) and also don't mind the s.c.r.a.p.e plan to allow bed_head to play.
