LK Planning thread

[LKendter]

It is time for another round of ideas as LK62 is almost over. Here are my latest ideas:
1) Simply deity with no special additions.

2) Fast moving civ, version 2. Only fast units may attack.
This time it is deity and a standard size map.

3) Slow moving civ, version 2. Only slow moving units may attack.

4) Sid attempt.
I am not sure how many of these I will do, so if you are interested better take this one.

5) The 20K challenge, emperor or demigod. Open for player vote.
It has been ages since I did a 20K city victory. With C3C and military leader that can't rush wonders, it could make this harder.

LKendter, sir,

Would appreciate the opportunity for a slot in 5) 20K challenge.

It is doable at emperor, , even as OCC, so maybe try at demi-god?

I would like to try the 20K SG. I haven't tried one since the rules change for non-rushing Wonders by Military Leaders, so I'm a tad inexperienced on exactly how to accomplish this on Emporer and above for now...

Certainly. My first OCC was at emperor and it was really smooth with a standard archipelago map.

I'm wondering if I could sign up for the 1st deity game? I haven't beaten it yet.

I'd like to sign up for the Sid attemp with normal aggression and randomly selected map (not a pre-checked or custom map) with a food bonus and river on start. May be also with some initial breathing space to build a few cities.

I should have mentioned before, but you must have beating deity to sign up for this one

"You can sign up here for a not-so friendly Sid SG."

I would rather like a go at the Sid game, although since I would like to win it, I would like a nice start spot. Islands would be easier than continents/pangea. I hope the game would be fairly friendly.

Previous deity wins is mandantory to sign up for this one

with a food bonus and river on start.

I would like a nice start spot.

akots / Offa - Sorry, but all I would reject is an all marsh / jungle spot. Let me know if this affects wanting to play the game.

IMHO, if we go for Diplo win at low or minimal aggression, this might be possible. But even a modest warfare would require more or less decent start with some food bonus (wheat or cow) on a river with an agricultural civilization unless it is an isolated island. However (swallowing hard), this might be a really brutal and spectacular event in any case which I dare not to miss and am still willing to participate.

 

[T-hawk]

I'll join in for a 20k game. I've done two 20k wins in Conquests, including one on Deity, so I've got the experience. Demigod difficulty preferred, natch.

 

[Arizona_Steve]

OK, I'm back, having finally downloaded the 1.22 patch (damn slow 56K connection). I missed the AWE game, but will be watching for any further warmongering opportunities...

 

[hotrod0823]

Steve Lee may correct me but I don't think he has any intention of switching to 1.22 now.

I will be interesting the 20K game. I don't think I have ever played a SG for 20K victory.

 

[LKendter]

I haven't seen signs of any SG going to 1.22 with the unable to load previous versions issue. At this time I am sticking with 1.15 unless there is serious pressure for 1.22.

#5 is a go! I will start after I get some votes on the level. I have one vote already for demigod. Once I get more votes for a clear winner, I will start it.

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

No more games for awhile as LK65/66/67 are all near the beginning.

 

[Bede]

Demigod-aye

 

[Rubberjello]

Well, I'll be the first "wussy" and vote for Emporer level. I'm just not confident because I haven't played one without the military leader wonder rush. It could be a real stuggle if we only get a poor/mediochre starting position. (Although I'm sure T-Hawk could still win it!)

 

[Offa]

I'll play in a rubbish start position, but winning might be a tad tricky. As long as we can build the great library there is some chance. If it's really grim then I guess it will be quick.

I need hotrod0823 vote!
Demigod and it starts - emperor and I have to figure out the tie breaker.

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

@Offa - The sid game is NOT starting. I was trying to get one game started, and 20K was it.

 

[hotrod0823]

demi is fine and I am sure RJ can handle it
