industrious Regents needed for game

[Coming4u2]

this is also only my second SG, the other 1 i played was on monarch, (and we lost)

as i said i don't mind the mod, perfectly equal,

thirdly, how do u change the writing under ur name, mine is chieftan, and i wanna change, (sorry if this is a n0ob question but i am new to these boards)

You need to have made 10 posts and been a member for 10 days, then you'll be able to change it in your profile under "custom user status"

Coming4u2, no sweat! Being a noob is perfectly normal here that's what mroe experienced Forum mebers are for, answering Qs

 

[Pillager]

Click user cp at right of screen, click edit profile, look for Custom User Text.

The new commercial thingy is with the new patch - the optimum number of cities re. corruption is 1/4th higher for commercial civs instead of 1/8th higher.

 

[Coming4u2]

damn another 5 days to go then, this post makes it 10 though, sounds like u want the french then Pillager,

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

hey, at least you can already change your avatar - if you post another 290 posts now

 

[Coming4u2]

*growls*

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Coming4u2: i will post my mod here - should i give the Ai additional start units? Should I play with the OCN? Lower = less settler diarrhoea and a little more corruption, higher = AI less likely to raze cities?

I also made Desert and Tundra no-city-terrains - ok???

Just tell me and then you can start a game with the mod asap

 

[Coming4u2]

firstly we need 1 or 2 more players, secondly, No additional start units for AI, (they cheat enough),thirdly, go thru OCN again, and explain it fully, (including what it means)

Also i want the votes in, mine are

1. Chinese
2. French

plus. at the moment the other settings are Everything random, please state if u want otherwise

Finally, we need a vote on difficulty

regent

(u can tell i like democracy)

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

OK, we can really go Monarch if we set AI starting units to 0.

OCN is optimum number of cities. The further you go above it, the worse corruption gets in outlying cities AFAIK. Also, you need half that number to be able to build the Forbidden Palace.

If an AI reaches OCN, it will then stop building settlers and concentrate on buildup of existing cities and military. Then, it will eventually continue to expand when it gets Courthouses and later on when the more corrupt cities start to produce simply because they grow and because of better governments. All in all, a low OCN reduces then number of settlers the AI has wandering around, and makes the AI less aggressive in expansion (but makes militaristic civs more warlike, too). I have halfed OCN for me, thenh set corruption to 75% which makes it unbearable in despotism (keeping the empires small), OK in Monarchy and Republic and a minor nuisance in democracy - unless you want to take over the world. Then, it is a major speedbrake - which IMHO is a good thing.

hey, if there is still an open spot, id like to join please.

I'd like persia, no matter in difficulty. And i'd perfer no mod, but it wont bother me if we play with it.

 

[Eklektikos]

my votes:

1. Chinese
2. French

Regent if unmodded, monarch if we use Killer's mod

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

a few thing we should agree on:

1) everyone posts a comprehensible account of his/her doings

2) saves are zipped and uploaded to the file server via Upload feature (mail me if you don't know how it works!)

3) maximum is 20 turns per player, less is you want to. It is recommended not to (if possible) start wars on turn 18 and on, but instead turn over the game to the next player unless there is general agreement on the war and it is well prepared.

4) 24 hours to post a got-it note, then 48 to post report and savegame. if you are away or otherwise unable to play, post so as soon as possible.


Everyone OK with these rules?

 

[Eklektikos]

sounds good to me

 

[Szpoti]

Hello ! I hope it is not too late to join you. Coming4u2, thank you for invitation.
We DID NOT lose the last SG!!!! When I have more time, I will play it further just to prove we still could win diplomatic victory.
And if we still didn't choose the level, I vote for monarch.

 

[Szpoti]

ok, i have just read all posts. my votes are: monarch, china, standard mass land, roaming barbs, 6-8 AIs. And please NO. NO, NO mod !!! I really don't know it.... I like civ3 as it is.

I usually go to war unprepared Preparations take long time and when you are really ready then usually it is too late... Of course do not attack but two units! But sometimes AI just settles in your territory and you MUST start war. But I got your point and I also think you are fully right.

 

[Pillager]

My votes, then:

French, Regent unmodded, Monarch is modded, any map size but huge.

 

[Coming4u2]

first thing, why don't we just email the save files to each other,
second this is now enough people
Me
Lt Killer m
Pillager
Elekitos
Tricky
Spotzi

The Chinese have an unassaliable lead, so that is our civ
As for map decisions, we had agreed to have everything random, because that is more like real life, u don't know what the rest of the world is like
Also, if we need to vote on wether or not to Mod, if we don't then difficulty is regent, if we do then it is monarch(sorry Spotzi, u r not going to b happy,)
Finally, we need a Turn Order, I Don't want to go in the 1st 4, so i will take 5th position, positions are now up for grabs

OK, if I really had to choose, I vote for unmodded Regent. Sorry Killer, but I just like what I know. Also, I'm happy to go first.
