HRY3 - Requiem for the Monarchs

[Hooray]

Version: Conquest v1.12
Difficulty: Monarch
Map: Standard, Continents
Geography: Normal climate, 4 billion age.
Civ: Greece (Scientific, Commercial)
Victory Conditions: Conquest only.

I'm going to go beyond Monarch level after this and move on up to Emperor officially. But
I've played Monarch for so long that I think it deserves a big final farewell. And I've got
just the idea for it (I just hope it hasn't been done before).

The idea is this: It's a Regicide game. Since this is my final Monarch game, it's only
appropriate that there really will be some Monarchs in the game. But it's not just a
Regicide game, oh no. This will be a Conquest game in which we will kill the enemy kings.
But wait! That's not all! Attacking the enemy king will be the *only* military action
that we can take in the entire other game. Enemy units pillaging our roads? Too bad!
An SOD heading for our capital? Tough luck! We can only attack the enemy capital.
We're still allowed to have defensive troops in our cities, though.
I have one other rule, though. We can only kill two civs per age, maximum. I just
want to prevent an early victory. Once we hit the Modern Age, we're free to wipe out
anyone who's left, though. Also, this should go without saying, we're not allowed
to ROP Rape to make our job any easier.

So, the rules summed up:
- Regicide, Conquest victory only. Must kill kings.
- Only military actions we can take is attacking enemy capital, and fortifying units in cities.
- Can only kill two civs per age.
- No ROP Rape, specifically, though the usual exploits are also disallowed.

So, any takers? Good idea, bad idea? Already been done?

I'm not sure about what civ to use yet. I just know I want a Scientific civ for the
increased chance of getting a Scientific Great Leader. I have yet to get an SGL
with a non-Scientific civ.
I'm thinking Greece perhaps. The commercial trait will help with corruption since we
can't build the Forbidden Palace. Plus the Hoplite will be a good defense unit for a while.

Looking for six players total:
1. DeceasedHorse
2. mitsho
3. cizzlewalk
4. Kuningas
5. Elvis1985
6. Hooray

 

[gunnerxtr]

looks interesting i'll be lurking this one

 

[mitsho]

I would be interested. But I don't want to kill your succesion game. It would be my first, and therefore I want to play an easier first. But it sounds very interesting...

mfG mitsho

 

[Hooray]

Heh, that's fine. You gotta start somewhere.
Welcome aboard, mitsho.

 

[mitsho]

k, thx. but it has no influence that I'll play with my german version? (which has some funny language bugs, especcially when plaing a english mod.... (they did forget to translate the barbarians, and some civs city names...

 

[Hooray]

I....honestly don't know how compatible the different versions are.

Any lurkers out there know?

 

[Hooray]

No one likes my SG.

Is it a bad concept? Just don't like Regicide? Everyone too busy with other SGs?

 

[Smellincoffee]

I think the problem is business. It's an interesting concept, and I for one will also be lurking. (But not playing- in three and soon to be four sgs right now.) Sorry.

 

[Hooray]

Well I'm putting this SG on hiatus until another time then.

 

[AntiTwelve]

*Sigh* I get close to getting to another SG when I find out you put it on hold!

If this is the case good sir Hooray, when do you think the next game you host will be ready?

 

[Ankka]

I guess there are just way too many Sg's going on right now, and people are already busy on them...

I could have joined, now as we won Wiz03, I have one spot for me to compete in another SG, but as it is on hold...

 

[Farske]

Hail

Im new, only completed two games, lost other five... after the third loss, I decided to read manuals. I then did conquest game with zulus on chieften, owned, then again with greeks, on regent.
So only two games under my belt won, Sirp's game, just reading that helped me alot.

So if you can give loads of advice, Ill try my best in this.
Ive also asked to join another SG game, and I will play both if both accept, thats not a problem.

ta ta for now

[Brewster]

Well Hooray, this looks like a very interesting setup and I will be sure to follow your progress. I would love to join but my girlfriend got really angry at me the last time I was participating in SG's (she killed my computer and hid my Civ disk), so I will have to be content lurking.

Good luck.

 

[Hooray]

I don't have internet access at the moment (I'm on someone else's computer right now).

Hopefully I will have internet again in about a week. Then I'll reopen this game if anyone's still interested.

 

[Hooray]

I'm officially reopening HRY3 now.

I've decided we'll play as the Greeks. I'll post a picture of our starting location later.

Join now. You know you want to.
