LK Planning Thread

[LKendter]

Well I found my first Civ4 disapointment - you can still get free settlers.
Getting one early effectively drops the game a level.

only on the easier difficulty levels
(warlord and easier according to manual, pg 167)

You didn't think we'd let the game out the door like that, right?

The free settlers are for the lower difficulty levels only. Could be an issue if playing AWW (Always War Warlord -- DON'T LAUGH!) but otherwise a nonissue.

OK - back for the moment, but will close if I don't get more ASAP.

Signing in to this thread. I will join a game once I have settled down in my new home in December. Civ access is too unregularly till then.

Well, I think Warlord will be pretty easy, but I have enough to learn that it won't be a waste. My Civ3 games both look like they may end in 2 rotations, so I think I would like to join.

This will most likely be the last warlord game. I plan to wait a couple of weeks before starting more, and I expect I will probably go up a level.

 

[Rince]

Still have a slot free in one of your games? Would really like to get into a SG.

[LKendter]

There are no openings at this game. I am waiting at least a couple of weeks before starting LK110.

 

[LKendter]

Another debate coming up is map size. It seems "standard" plays a lot smaller then before. I am not use to playing games with just a handfull of cities.

 

[Greebley]

Ya, the maps do seem a bit small. I wouldn't mind trying larger.

 

[Lord Genghis]

I agree.

We are all new to Civ 4 so a larger map will give us more of an opportunity to have a look at how everything works.

 

[Panth]

Does one need to be of a certain caliber to join in on one of these? I used to play civIII quite a bit but was never very good. I just got IV yesterday and would really like to get into SG's.

 

[LKendter]

LK108 / 109 had no signup requirements.
I haven't decided on LK110 yet. Each person that runs a SG will have there own rules.

 

[doronron]

Subscribing to thread to watch for open position in LK110...

 

[LKendter]

I am happy to report I have the rare laptop that runs Civ4.
I will be working out of town starting Nov 7, but there will be no problem keeping SGs going.
My only problem is a little bit of slowness at times.
