Mikehendi's Monarch game. With a twist...

[Mikehendi]

Hello and welcome everyone!

This will be a game with a strange twist. It will be unlike anything you've ever seen before!!!
Well... uhmm... at least unlike everything I have ever seen before, I haven't been around here for too long yet

Still, I haven't seen anything like it around on these forums. This game idea just popped into my mind. I haven't played myself yet, so I don't know if it will be much fun. I'm just posting the start, for people who are interested in playing.

We are playing on a standard fractal map, standard size, epic speed, monarch diffyculty game with no huts, but WITH random events on for fun! (EDIT: this is not the twist I'm talking about)

The leader is Hatshepsut ( I can finally spell her name right, without looking back into the game everytime I typed it. She is my girlfriends favourite leader. Not that she plays civ herself, she just likes the way she looks and acts when you are talking to her :S For the same reason she fears Gilgamesh LOL

And the start:

I hope it will be fun! If you don't like the idea, you will find out reasonably soon, so you won't be wasting too much time, so I'm not spoiling it right now.

Standard rules apply (place screens, sessions and information about the game in spoilers etc)

There's no twist we all keep Random Events On
I thought you would bamboozle us with a new,original rule
GL with the game

That is not the twist of course

I actually think it is something new. Maybe it would be better with a more warlike leader though.

I'm curious now. Time allowing, I'll have a look tonight. Probably a super boxed in start with a ton of AIs, a small island to work, or extremely few AIs that are on big landmasses not immediately accessible. Probably one of the first two though, since we're finding out early and all.

"Will the real Hatshepsut, please, stand up?"

Sorry, could not resist.

 

[Mikehendi]

Meh, It's much simpler. Let's just say, diplomatics will be... difficult... in one way or another...

But to be honest, I actually didn't think this one through enough. I just got so excited that I immediately wanted to create a game using that idea.

For example, fractal brings some risks, and I definitely should've picked a more... dangerous leader.

Well, at least, if you find the idea fun, you can create a game like it for yourself.

Sorry I rushed this

Sorry, could not resist.

Wait, it's an all Hatty game o_O?

 

[TheMeInTeam]

Hahahaha.

An all Hatty game means 1) run no religion 2) stay in OR anyway 3) build AP in obscure religion or just build the UN 4) Win when the entire world votes for you.

I know I should've gone with Shakas or Kahns on pangea or so

Maybe I'll do a writeup of such a game soon. Just looking at the relations screen will be funny (and ) as hell

 

[TheMeInTeam]

Do Tokugawa, IMO.

Dopplegänger?

No harm in repeating a theme though

Mad did an all sury game in his RPC's...I think it was on a fantasy map script...my eyes were bleeding.

Ahhh, I've enjoyed Mad's RPC's a lot! (Well, I've only read Zara's DI and currently, russian spy. I did see the ghandi the war-monger hitler movie though )

Well, I still like the idea, even though it apparantly has been done before.

I'm always looking for fun (strange, out-of-the-box thinking) game idea's (I very much enjoyed playing a domination win with the "always peace" option, I got that one from sulla)

What would be fun settings for more strange experiences?
