I'll give it a try, I satisfy both requirements. Sign-me up please.

Any special rules I sould be aware of, apart from non-automated workers?

Do you guys prefer warmonger style or builder style? Are we aiming for a specific victory condition?

See the LK house rules below.
This one doesn't have a target victory yet. Once the games is going we can figure out what makes the most sense. Some like LK123 are preset - Japan and conquest with cheap courts and civics seems a perfect match. I am not sure what plays Persia the best.




The following tactics are PROHIBITED:

There are no exploits that I am aware of at this time.


Standard LK house rules:
1) Worker automation is prohibited.

2) Automation of any kind is strongly discouraged until the game is known better.

3) A go to order is only allowed if you turn summary warns that it is happening and explains why. Sometimes it is just too important to make sure those reinforcements don't get sent to the wrong place.

4) Please complete your turn. At most the next player should have one unmoved unit such as a settler where you are unsure of its direction. A stack that is fortified counts as completed. The game should be sitting ready to hit end of turn with very little left to move.

5) Don't edit your game results into a got it post. There is no notification of new activity. I have had SGs stalled waiting for a person to move, when the already did.

6) The use of the auto-logger is prohibited for the body of your report. You may include it as a spoiler tag. SGs are about writing up enough information so that the team understands where you are going. The auto-logger clearly fails in this regard. Knowing the details doesn't show the big picture. SGs need the big picture.

7) SGs are about cooperative team play. If you aren't willing to discuss plans before and / or after your turn, then the LK series isn't for you.

8) War shouldn't be declared without a team consensus.

9) If you disagree with a dot map plan, comment *before* playing you turn.

10) I reserve the right to refuse players whom IMHO failed to play in the spirit of cooperation. Declaring an unexpected war pretty much insures you will go on this list. Personal attacks against other players guarantee a ban from the LK series.


I realize rule 10 is a bit harsh, but I can tell too much infighting will put the LK series back on hold.

Stupid 10 characters rule
 
Ok no problem with the rules.

Since we are only missing one player, I recommend you create the thread for the game, with the rules we'll be using, the game setting (speed, size, ...) and the screenshot of our starting location. We can start exchanging ideas and this will create some visibility on the game, and help toward finding our player :)
 
I don't meet the requirements yet, having only upgraded my computer earlier this week, so I've only just started playing civ4. Haven't started a non-cheesy game above noble yet, but I should qualify as beating monarch within a week or two. I would like to sign up if you'll have me.

Well be glad I recognize you from the Civ3 days and that IIRC you played in the LK series before...
Warning: While I have chilled out some, I still will blast major weed.
 
A revised set to clarify the war rule.

8) Major wars shouldn't be declared without a team consensus. Clear phony wars gain diplomatic favors are ok. The phony war when you declare on an AI on another continent or a last place civ. A war of opportunity to grab one or two cities from an AI getting trashed is OK. Going after the #1 civ unplanned what I want to stop.

9) If you disagree with a dot map plan, comment *before* playing you turn.

10) I reserve the right to refuse players whom IMHO failed to play in the spirit of cooperation. Declaring an unexpected major war is a high risk that you will go on this list. Excessive personal attacks against other players guarantee a ban from the LK series.

LK125 start up

The LK series goes warlords. I will stick with monarchy, as I understand it is a level up vs. the base game.

Monarchy, oasis script on standard world, civ = oasis, goal = Just win baby

I'll sign up for a Warlords game. Notched a Warlords Monarch win, cultural :crazyeyes:

Not familiar with the oasis civ, though :)
 
Hi.

My very first post here at civfanatics.

I use the nick Bulwark pretty much elsewhere (incl realmsbeyond) however, that nick was already taken here...



I just bought my copy of Warlords, so I have not yet mustered Monarch difficulty.

Furthermore, I have never participated in any SG's, however, I have lurked many.. In other words, I may need some help with practical administration.

If the above drawbacks are not big enough, I would love to kick of my SG career in LK 125.
 
Could I join in. Playing at Warlords 2.08 monarch with mixed success.
 
I'm up for this later this week.

Lots of Monarch wins, but little experience of Oasis (aside from Temple of Doom SG).

Sorry, but that is pushing my signup requirements too much.

I have no clue either. I am still trying to get through all of the map types.
