Revenge of Babylon - 80K challenge
If you are asking why 80K, not 100K - conquest dropped the total culture needed for the small world.
Difficulty = Emperor
I will like to try this one again. The previous game (LK45) failed at the goal of a mostly passive win. The object is to win with minimal wars against the culturally clueless. Our opponents would be cultural losers such as the Zulu.

This will be my typical small world.

I did state the LK series would go to 1.22.
Can the above players confirm 1.22 is OK.
When I get 5 yes votes, LK69 will start.

 

[microbe]

1.22 is OK with me.

[Karasu]

Sorry for the delay...
Here I am, all patched to 1.22 and ready to go

EDIT: BTW, I play from the CET time zone for the purpose of roster formation

 

[LKendter]

3 new LK series games have started:

LK73 - AWE Pangea
LK74 - Simply Sid
LK75 - The LK World map is back.

 

[LKendter]

LK72 is over. LK73 doesn't have much time left. It is time to select another one. The first of the below choices to get 5 players will start.



AWE, small world, Pangaea, NO armies!
It is time once and for all to answer the question if armies break AWE.

AWE, standard world, Pangaea.
This time we suffer with 7 opponents.

Samurai pride, small world.
This would be a variant of the defiant nationalist games by Charis. The Civ would be Japan, we must push to Chivalry, and once we have first Samurai the defiance begins.

[hotrod0823]

I'm up for all 3

 

[Sirian]

If you want to answer if armies break AWE, play a game on vanilla 1.29f and leave them in. You can add a variant rule of no rushing great wonders if you like.

 

[Greebley]

I am up for either (or both) of the first two (AWE) games.

 

[Kaiser_Berger]

I'd be interested in the Samurai game.

It would be a valid test, but at this point I just can't see myself playing that old version.

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

I forget to mention signup requirements. All 3 require previous deity military wins. In addition the AWE games require previous AW experience.

I'm interested in AWE, but I never played a true always war, so you have the option where to place me I would need a few tips.

I have the same problem. Do you want to play an AWM game just to get some experience? If so I can set up one.

 

[Zwingli]

I would be interested in the small map AWE should that be selected. I have plenty of experience with AW at high levels in vanilla Civ3, but not too much in C3C.

 

[LKendter]

@Gozpel - I suggest you take up microbe's offer. AWE is much harder then AWM. I would suggest you first get your feet wet with AWM.

[gozpel]

I did take up microbe's offer and I can go bushwalking until it starts.

I do have some experience of AW on all levels, but usually not as a preset thing, it just happened that way But that's not the same.

 

[LKendter]

Due to the unexpected end of LK74 I am opening 2 games.
LK76 AWE no armies - I put Greebley, Zwingli, and hotrod0823 in this one.

LK77 Samurai Pride - I put Kaiser_Berger in this one.

 

[LKendter]

It is time to plan LK78. The *first* of the games below to fill will create LK78.


5CC Conquest, Deity, Continents, Standard size map.
Required experience: Previous deity military win


Sid attempt 2, Continents, Standard size map.
Will restart until I get a settler factory. This time I am planning on 12 tiles cities.
Required experience: Multiple deity wins, Sid experience preferred.


Another defiance game like LK77. Pangea, small size map.
If this fills I will figure out the civ, and when the defiance kicks in.
Required experience: Previous deity military win


Slow cooked deity, Pangea, small size map, Korea.
The science rate is upped 50%. You will see more Middle Ages wars. The last time I ran this it had rifleman stacks guarding cannons to take out cities. Something you don't see often in a typical deity game.
Required experience: Previous deity military win


Independent Denmark, Napoleonic Scenario, Monarchy.
Required experience: Previous deity military win
While this is only "monarchy", this is going to be a brutal game with our weak starting position. We are not locked into an alliance with France.


I reserve the right to see proof of experience from unknown players
I had a recent game with a player I was very suspicious that he wasn't qualified for the game.

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

Lee, what about not playing the Danes in Napoleonic Europe (btw, Monarch would be a bit too easy when they're not locked with France; make that Emperor, we won with Sweden on DG) and removing the essential Locked Alliance, but Portugal right out of the box? I was thinking of starting this myself already...
Or: Netherlands on Monarch (no joke!)

 

[meldor]

I would go for either of the last two.
