Lonely Hearts Club Bullpen

[Diamondeye]

Lonely Hearts Club, BtS Edition, Chapter XXII : Suryavarman II has started....

BTW, I know that we still have lots of leaders to put on the table, but a question arised in my mind....

What to do when the leaders are all used in LHC?

Rerun some?

Unrestricted?

Call it a day?

... I'd luuuve to try Unrestricted, although you might want to balance the map and block overpowerlings (Like Vicky of Portugal). Else, Rerun some of 'em or find a new concept and build a series on. I'd be happy to help with ideas for unrestriced combos to try in isolation or new ideas for a series design.

 

[ranion]

rerunning a few of the older (that is to say vanilla and warlords episodes) probably wouldn't be a bad idea, some of the leaders have changed somewhat probably since they were originally run and most of the saves are unavailable except by request now too, so a lot of people probably wouldn't notice unless they played the original or were outright told it was a rerun.

LHC XXIII, with our favourite backstabber and pony-tailed LH ( aka Catherine ) , started here. Enjoy

LHC XXIV, with Napoleon, started here

A les enfants de la Patrie....

i thought it was 'allons' as in the first person plural conjugation of aller? any actual Frenchmen care to clarify for us?

You are right (both on 'allons' and on it being the 1st person plural)

LHC XXV, with the ever-popular Hatty is up in here. Have fun!

BTW thanks for the correction Jabah and ranion ( a little late, I know )

 

[r_rolo1]

Well, LHC XXVI has the honor of having Cyrus as a leader... check it out

 

[semirami]

How about Celtic's next? Most players think, that this is the worst civilization for starting in isolation. Would be interesting to see how they will be played. I prefer Boudica, but Brennus is fine too.

 

[r_rolo1]

Well, why not?

Brennus has a superb trait combo ( IMHO better than Boudica one, except you start early ) but both the UU and the UB will be pretty much close to useless

Will consider it ......

 

[PaulusIII]

Brennus is actually pretty good in isolation. Sure, the UB/UU is useless in isolation but more civs suffer from that. His traits OTOH are great for isolation - charismatic for the higher happy cap (which is imho important in isolation because happiness resources are often scarce) and spiritual is nice for every situation. Better than Cyrus in isolation, if you ask me.

I vote Brennus next time. The religious rulers get too little time in the LHC... where's Izzy? Justinian? Sal?

 

[r_rolo1]

Fair enough Will put one of the religious loonies in the next editions. Probably Justinian.......

Well, LHC XXVII is with Justinian Enjoy

 

[r_rolo1]

LHC XXVIII, with Brennus is on as asked......

Suggestions for more leaders will be welcomed as well

link is not working. I would like to see one with Sitting Bull

 

[r_rolo1]

I corrected the link.....

About Sitting Bull... we already done one LHC with him

 

[semirami]

What about Financial leader next time? We haven't played one since Mansa Musa. Yeah I still remember the tech leader Toku

Pacal, or Huyana Capac

 

[r_rolo1]

The mother of all Religious zealots of this game finally got here LHC XXIX with Isabella is on

Now, going back to CivCol for trying to make sense of that game

P.S Next time it will be a Fin civ, I promisse

 

[r_rolo1]

One more for the run, LHC XXX with Pacal is on

 

[r_rolo1]

If you wanted to roll some Panzers in a massive intercontinental invasion ( or if you want to use the Assembly Plants for more peaceful uses ), then LHC XXXI with Bismark is for you
