LK48 idea thread

[LKendter]

The Emperor AW game is dead. I am looking for a new theme. Pick which one you would play:

1) Simply deity - nothing special, just a plain old deity game.
Requirements: Previous deity win.

2) Scientific headache - deity game with hand-selected opponents that all have the science attribute (Greece, Germany, Ottoman, etc). How much does the 1.21 true random new tech affect the game?
Requirements: Previous deity win.

3) 5cc - Emperor double plus - cost discount would be the same as deity, everything else the same as emperor.
Requirements: Previous deity win.

4) War Happy Romans - Emperor level.
The exact variant parameters are to be worked out.
The general theme is that we must always be fighting someone once we build are first legionary.
Requirements: Previous military emperor win.

If interested in any of the above post below which ones.
The one with the most interest will get started.

I'm interested in 4 and 3 with a preference of 4

Add #5 -
Horrid jungle start - emperor - Persia.
Requirements- Emperor win

 

[ChrTh]

While I can't play it, I like #5...iirc, there's no iron in the jungle, right?

 

[Cartouche Bee]

#2 sounds like it would be a fairly fast paced game, I'd go for that one if there is enough interest.

[Edit] OK, #5 also since I owe my first game, first loss to that without knowing how jungle had changed from the first 2 civs games.

 

[Despot]

In order of preference...

#4
#5
#3

 

[hotrod0823]

I think 2 and 5 sound interesting and there is the always fun 5CC.

I would like to see how the scientific civs random tech effects the game. In LK46 all the scientifics got medicine for free .

What would the civ be for #2? I would suggest Carhage. If your commercial you may as well have a whole lota roads.

 

[LKendter]

#1
#2 Cartouche Bee, Hotrod0823
#3 Rowain deWolf, Despot (low), Hotrod0823
#4 Rowain deWolf (pref), Despot (pref)
#5 Cartouche Bee, Despot, Hotrod0823

So far 3 + 5 have the most votes, but 4 has the strongest preference.
However still need at least one more player to show interest.

I think it is clear generic deity (#1) has no chance.

 

[Shillen]

I'd be interested in 2 and 5, with preference on 2. I think 2 will just be insane. Not only will they get all the first tier techs of each age for free, but the tech pace will be a lot faster because of all the cheap libraries, universities and research labs. If you add another variant like not allowed to sign MA's or MPP's then it would be even better. Then you couldn't even start a world war to slow the tech pace down.

Make it a pangaea map too. And our civ can't be commercial, industrious, or scientific. Just to make it even more difficult.

 

[LKendter]

#1
#2 Cartouche Bee, Hotrod0823, Shillen (pref)
#3 Rowain deWolf, Despot (low), Hotrod0823
#4 Rowain deWolf (pref), Despot (pref)
#5 Cartouche Bee, Despot, Hotrod0823, Shillen


I will leave this going a little longer.
I may start one and then open the second most popular idea up to the general group.

 

[LKendter]

@All

#5 got the most votes, however #2 and #4 have no overlapping players. I would like to get 2 new games going so this works the best.

I will open up threads for #2 and #4 tonight.
I need one more player for #2 (science havoc).
I need two more players for #4 (fighting Romans)..

If people want in for either of these games, then you can sign up head and insure the last slots available.

Lee: Can I use a variation on idea #5 for a SG?

 

[jack merchant]

I'd like to sign up for #4. With some luck CG7 shouldn't get back to me and so I can fit in a new one. I would propose the additional rule that we must at least research Iron Working ASAP (well, after pottery maybe). #5 would be good too should you decide to start that one up instead.

Would you want the map generated?


This was one of my failed attemps to get a valid emperor AW map. Of course, the current pick was great. I have gain the gl and pyramids from my nearby neighbor which I have already slapped around nicely.
I may be able to beat emperor AW with the current map. [dance]

Thanks, but I was thinking a Monarch game with some additional controls It's nice when the neighboring Civs build all your Wonders for you

 

[Renata]

Whee, I finally completed one of the Emperor games I had lying around in a winnable position, so I actually qualify.
In any case, they all (2-5) sound like fun either to read or to play, but I have a soft spot for #5.

#2 Cartouche Bee, Hotrod0823, Shillen (pref)

#4 Rowain deWolf (pref), Despot (pref), jack merchant


@Renata - which of the 2 above do you want to play?
Each only has one slot left.

 

[Renata]

#4 would be good, thanks.

#2 Cartouche Bee, Hotrod0823, Shillen (pref)
We still need one more to fill this one.


#4 Rowain deWolf (pref), Despot (pref), jack merchant, Renata
This one is FILLED and will start tonight.

 

[Bam-Bam]

Count me in for #2.
