I'm pretty sure there are rules somewhere not only for how to treat your slaves but also how to sell your kids into slavery.

For the record,
With Civ V announced I will continue posting Civ IV RPCs until Civ V hits the shelves. I then plan to start over again with the RPCs under Civ V.
So as things progress on that front, feel free to post any ideas. It already looks like Washington and Bismarks are 2 of the leaders/civilizations so I can start perculating the brain on ideas!
Keep rules/tech stuff on the Civ 5 forum, stick to leaders and ideas here. I will adapt teh rules to get good shows going!

OK, thinking of the next RPC.
Looking at an earth-18 map RPC this time, focusing on the rise of South America from the Amazon.
OK, what leader do we remove/transpant and which get's the boot?
Also which hostoical leader do you want
King Pedro of Brazil
Simon Bolivar
Jose MArtin
Any others I am missing???
Appropriate RPC rules??? Perhaps keeping us limited to South America? Forced Global Expansion? Keep choices open? Reverse Monroe doctrine requiring us to conquer the hemisphere??
I do want to keep Hyuna of Inca though and keep him behind the Andes.
Can the enormouse potential of the Amazon Basin be realized, or is the Jungle just too much for a starting civilization?

I think so, if you start on the coast or around the center of the continent. You obviously don't want to start from within the jungle. (It would be cool, but I don't see how it would be possible. Maybe if you seeded with some resources, but that's cheating.)

I reckon that joao transplanted to South america as Pedro would be appropriate and this is my personal preference for your next rpc.
I think that The Incans, Aztecs and Americans should remain in the game, perhaps with native america added as well for good measure.
The start should you do this should be in the bahia, salvador area (around the iron where the coast turns westwards) as this is a fair start while still keeping the jungle an important early factor, and its historically accurate in regards to portuguese colonisation of brazil.

If you choose otherwise i suppose a bolivar start (washington with the spanish civilisation if you can keep the other leaders normal or alexander if not) on the colombia coast would be interesting.

There's both EarthEvolution and the Earth 18 Civs. Which one are you picking?

Well, with the Amazon game looking to be heading into the final segment or 2 (unless things change dramatically), I thought I would bring up something I have been thinking of for a few weeks.
Perhaps it's time to have a finite ending to the RPC series for Civilization IV. With Civilization V coming out in late 2010, I will be exclusively playing that and likely RPCing it once I get the rules set. The interest seams to be waning (for myself and posters) as more people see what's coming out on CIV 5.
SO I propose 3 final RPCs to end the series, once and for all.
1) Kamekameha I, first KIng and Unifier of Hawaii. My mother was born and razed in HAwaii (although of Portugese decent) so I have wanted to do an RPC on that tropical paradise.
I plan to play on an Archeopolego Map with high water as Victoria but using the Dutch civilization. Yeah overkill, so what. Rules would be to unify the entire OCean world via domination/conquest/Diplomacy with colonies being encouraged (to fullfill a thirst for this type opf game started from Classic DeGaulle game).
Also I want to limit how much I improve the land, thus only resources may be imporved, jungles may be chopped (but not improved), and only un-forrested hills mined. I another words and Sea-FAring empire!
2) Julius Caesar on an Earth-18 Map. He must win Conquest (domiation will be turned off) only and CANNOT destroy any other leader. Thus all must be vassaled.
3) Sid Meir. One game in Civilization IV I want to play as diety (I have yet to play it) so I would use a random leader and play a normal game of Civilization posting alot of segments and seeing if the CFC community can help me accomplish victory as Sid.
Thought's on this???

Mad, I'm a big fan of your alt-Earth RPCs -- Australia, the Amazon, Tibet, colonization, etc. -- so my vote goes with Roman conquest, or a WB-Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific. Both would be tons of fun.

What if you DOW on someone with a vassal? How are you supposed to vassalise him?

If you beat on them enough they will eventually break the vassalage pact.

OK, after a bit of a vacation I have decided to play one final farewell RPC-TNG as Kamehameha was not a really good sign off.
I plan an epic farewell playing as Sid Meir against the entire world of civilization. I plan to use the biggest map I can with the 40 CIVs Mod. I plan to use random civilizations and random personalities, agressive AI, and all victory conditions turned off except COnquest.
Any suggestions here???

It sounds like fun. Can I humbly suggest not using random personalities? It makes the game a bit harder to follow from screenshots.

How about leaving on conquest but restricting yourself to having to win that way? Or did you want to hamper the culture-monger AIs?

What would the traits be for Sid Meier?
The ones I could see fitting would be:
*Creative
*Financial
*Organized
*Industrious? (slight stretch)
*Charismatic? (true, but... best fit?)
Maybe Willem von Oranje?
~
As for the Civilization... I'd assume as the creator of the Civ series, he'd have the most powerful combination of UU & UB. That's, what, the Incans? ...maybe the English?
Then again, would it be more fitting for Sid Meier to play as the Americans, being one himself?

With 40 leaders I was thinking stopping space/culture may be difficult. However, I may keep them on, just for style.
I think maybe I agree on no random personalities, as a farewell to CIV IV I want to know I am really killing Monty or Gandhi when I get to them.
I was also thinking of playing a map with 6 hemispheres, thus 6 mini-Pangea worlds to watch grow and destroy.
As far as leaders to Play, I think Sid would prefer to simply have the computer pick a random leader, as we have played all.
Agressive Leaders are definitely a must have though!
