hg3: Plain Ol' Diety

[homeyg]

I've got a craving to kick some AI butt on Diety. Come on, who's with me? Yeah, I've never actually beat Diety either but I'm willing to give it a shot! No required victory condition, no variant, just a plain old game. I was considering trying a CIV that I've never played before, also one that isn't being played in current SGs. I like the Commercial/Industious/Scientific traits, not nessecarily together, though. What do you (people who sign up) think? I was thinking we (if anyone is interested in signing up, of course) could maybe do a large map with somewhere around 8 or more CIVs. Possibly even a pangea with 80% water. If your interested, let me know what kind of world and CIV you want. The roster is currently 0% open.

Hi homeyg,
I'd like to join, but I've never tried Deity A pangea map?
Maybe in continents/archipelago it would be easier, IMHO.
What version is this? I'd prefer Vanilla, as the FP in Conquests it's crappy.
Because I've never played Deity before, I'd feel more "secure" with Greece.

EDIT: I can't play C3Cv.1.22, because I'm currently playing an SG with an older version. If anyone could tell me how to do it, I'd be thankful(I've already tried to install to another file, but the "install" option isn't enabled when I insert the disk ).

We need a thread with a sticky at the top of this board about how to keep 2 versions on at once...just wait till the next patch comes, total chaos will ensue! Basically, you COPY your civ3 folder to somewhere nice, then perform the 1.22 upgrade on the main version.

As for the game...I would like to, but I haven't gone past emperor yet...

 

[homeyg]

Kiech, it will be easy because were a team. It's a little different from going solo Diety (which I haven't even been able to do). So are you signing up?

King Alexander, I don't like the v1.22 patch so I don't have it either. If I do use Conquests, I will use the v1.15 patch. We could do whatever type of world we all want because I haven't started the game yet. I haven't even decided on a CIV yet!

 

[Kiech]

I don't have enough room on my computer for 2 civ games...if its not 1.22 I will have to pass. Sorry.

 

[homeyg]

What if it is played on Vanilla Civ?

 

[Kiech]

Vannilla or PTW, as long as it doesn't involve 2 versions of civ on my computer.

Side note, aren't you starting an OCC sucession in 1.22? I guess I don't understand the differences between 1.15 and 1.22...

 

[homeyg]

Yeah, now that you point that out. I had forgotten that that game was in 1.22. I was going to upgrade last night but it somehow slipped my mind.

This is official!!! The game will be played on PTW v1.27. Is that okay with you King Alexander?

 

[Kiech]

Time to bone up on some MM skills...

 

[homeyg]

So you are signing up?

 

[Kiech]

I am in. Sounds like a lot of fun!

 

[homeyg]

We have to wait for 2 more people.

 

[Kiech]

What civ are we gonna use? I vote for anyone Expansionist.

 

[Yom]

I'll join if it's PTW. I have no idea where my Vanilla CD is and my Conquests CD is messed up.

 

[homeyg]

You're in! It is PTW (v1.27).

I'm still looking for 1 more player before I start the game. We still also need to decide on a CIV!

Edit: Could a Mod please add to the thread title that this game will be played in PTW v1.27?

 

[King Alexander]

PTW, it is then

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

I'll join as well, if you still have the space. I've won a few Deity games in my day, 2 Diplo and one Space Race. BTW, PTW works fine for me too.

I have no real idea as for a civ. We could always just go with random....

 

[homeyg]

Okay, we got our last person.

Last chance to speak if you want a certain CIV or world type before I generate the game!

Btw, the roster on the first post is the order we play in.

 

[Kiech]

How about the Ruskies? Scientific, Expansionist, and a great UU.

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

That doesn't seem like a bad choice at all. Although I like the Cossack a bit better in C3C, the extra defense it provides in PTW is certainly nice.
