Now some games are getting close.
It looks like we may be heading to the new world.

Time for another LK game after my early exit from Middle Ages, Europe is out .

I would be up for an AWM game or the Slow movers or if possible a Slow moving AW game

We now have 2 games at 4, and others getting close. Who wants to break the tie?

 

[Justus II]

I have a question about the Europe epic, does that mean the Middle Ages tech tree, or standard Epic tech tree? Not sure how that tech tree would work over 540 turns (or however long it took to domination). But it does sound intriguing.

 

[LKendter]

The Europe epic would use the Middle Ages tech tree. The only changes would be game length, no victory points and the domination requeirement.

 

[Justus II]

I would be interested in the Europe epic, count me in!

What a dead heat - we have 3 games @4 interested.
Does someone want to break the tie?

 

[LKendter]

If nobody else votes by tomorrow, I will simply pick one of the games @4 and start it.

For Slow Moving Civ, are you going to have any stipulations to mandate going to war, or could it end up being just be a turtle-up-until-space type of game?

Also, does the restriction include ships (exploration or combat), aircraft, or 2-move infantry armies? (Or military GLs ) I might interested depending on the answers to these. Also, I think this crew could handle it on Demigod - is that an option?

 

[LKendter]

For Slow Moving Civ the target win in domination.

 

[T-hawk]

Is Demigod difficulty an option for Slow Moving Civ? I think this crew could do it. If you run it on Demigod, I'm in.

@Slow Moving Civ signups - do we make this demi-god?

 

[Rubberjello]

Sure. We do get to make Infantry armies, right? (2 move)

 

[LKendter]

OK - we have a second vote for demigod. We certainly can build armies. Of course, and army of anything other then grunts would be silly.

One more VOTE for demigod and I start the game provided my #%!#% laptop doesn't decide to shut itself of again and not turn back on....

 

[T-hawk]

Do you have a civ in mind to play as? Too bad no civs have a Medieval Infantry based UU, as that'd be the most appropriate. Persia could work quite well (the equivalent of cheaper MDIs all through the middle ages), or Scandinavia. Rome and Carthage also have decent infantry UUs.

 

[hotrod0823]

sure demi it is.

==================

The game is Slow Moving Civ. The game choice is made. Since I won't have a working laptop until Tuesday we have plenty of time to discuss the specs...

I will need to detail the rules by the main rule is infantry / artillery only outside our borders.

========================

Let's start the civ discussion. I want one of the new civs. LK59 = Portugal. LK56 = Dutch. Lotr11=Mayan. I would prefer one of the remaining new civs. No expansionist with scouts please...

 

[T-hawk]

Well, the only new civ with an infantry UUs that you haven't played is Sumeria with the 1-2-1 Enkidu Warrior. You've played with the Mayan 2-2-1 Javelin Thrower and Dutch 1-4-1 Swiss Mercenary. Sumeria is agricultural and scientific; agri is always good and having one of the cheap culture traits is very preferable when targeting domination. So, how does Sumeria sound?

 

[LKendter]

Sumeria with the 1-2-1 Enkidu Warrior - Another lousy UU.
This pretty much forces a depostic GA.

It may be the choice, but let's see other ideas.

 

[hotrod0823]

I don't think we have much of a choice.

The only others that aren't "fast" units as UU's are the Byzantines. But that is a ship . Inca's have the scout, Austria is a cav replacement, Hiittites a 3-man chariot.

Who else am I missing?
