LK139 start up -

Difficulty = monarch, map = Global Highlands, standard size world, civ =Incan, speed = Epic
I am surprised that I've never played Huayna before.

It is weird how the rosters form for these games. LK138 I knew all the players, and it felt like a RB union tour. This time Tatran is the only player I even recognize.

I will start this one today.

I only have the Maya, Portugal, and Sumerian Empire to play to complete my goal of playing every civ. After that I will make the decision between going to variant play and increasing the difficulty to emperor.

LK140 is coming up shortly as LK138 just completed. However, I've decide to make the decision between monarch variants or emperor before playing the last 3 civs.

I already have a few ideas in my head for potential variants. I want to figure out if I need to develop them or simply move on up to emperor.

I would like to see votes if people want:
1) Monarch variants
2) Emperor

As a reader, I'd like to see monarch variants. Perhaps start with leaders you haven't played in the series? (Degaulle, Lincoln, Churchill)? You could mix up with a few emperor games so you don't get sick of playing a game with a ruleset.

This reader misses the massive world map games LKendter used to run. I don't know if Civ4 would be as good for such mayhem as Civ3 was, but I'd love to see one (Monarch, probably).

Beyond that, I'm a variant man myself. Yeah, I like brutal difficulty, too, on occasion, but some variants are good. I'd vote for 2/3 variants, 1/3 emperor as the "ideal" split.

To be effective it would need to be a huge map. I don't know how many people have PC that could handle that. I know that late game I would have to reboot my PC before the turn and leave just Civ4 and a couple other apps running.

The bigger problem is I have no clue how to create a new civ in Civ4. I added Brazil, Argentina, (3rd South American civ that I recall the name of), Australia, Songhai (NW Africa) and possibly one more.

Check the C&C forums. You can either find a civ someone else has created, use it or modify it, or learn how to do it yourself.

Sorry, can't vote. I just watch this thread and not the actual games.

Updated the wording to be clearing the I am trying to determine the path of the LK series from LK140 forward.

I'd love to play a huge map - I used to be glued to my screen reading the Civ3 LK series reports on such maps! My new PC should be up to it, but maybe they would warrant an exception from the 24/48 rule? 24/36 instead, maybe?



I also vote 3)

Well this is two votes or the world map series. The problem isn't just technical, but also time. For Civ3 I modified somebody's existing world map. I uncluttered Europe and expanded beyond there. I don't even know where I can find a huge world map to start with.



The below vote will determine the path for LK140 forward.

I don't know if my machine or my schedule will permit me to play a huge earth map, but I can help (maybe) with some of the technical stuff.

You might start here....

which is a huge earth map with 36 civs. That's all I know, but I found it fairly quickly. It looks immense and very well done.

[Simple Simon]

I did not only mean huge WORLD maps, but huge maps in general. Earth would be fun, but other good maps....

I have a long train ride coming up - maybe I can manage to create a nice map then

 

[Refar]

I would prefer Monarch Variants (Be it odd rules/restrictions/mods.)

But better not to huges. My machine chokes sometiems late game on standard...

I hope to start LK140 late Sunday or Monday. I would like to get a few more votes by then.

 

[TheLastOne36]

My vote is for Monarch Varients. I'd like to see more varients such as the cultural conquest!

 

[yena]

I would like to participate in a future emperor game, but monarch variants will do nicely as well. (Btw, my computer won't let me play huge maps )

 

[Tatran]

I voted for the mix variant.

 

[Jabah]

Vote for mix as well.
