News: COTM 28 Pre-Game Discussion

[tao]

Well, if you want a high score, you need fast conquest/domination for sure.

Is there so much difference between gotm and cotm? In recent gotms, my conquest date was very very late compared to the good players we all know. But my Firaxis scores were still 11.000+.

Well, tao, I consider 11000+ not a really high score, when the gold will go at 12700+, as in the small easy GoTMs, which break the Jason score system.

Well since I won't fight for first anyway, I was looking for a more fun condition. I think I will try to see Alpha this time then.

When will the Spoilers be confirmed? Before the game is started or after?

before save release, let me guess something from the conquest bonus. do it is a commonly consideration?

if bonus is a pike or a spear or tech "WC", we share island with AI.so first building in capital will be warrior.
if bonus is a worker or settler, we have better place on this island to settle a second city, so wander is worthy.but as Abegweit said, under such condition,this will be impossible.
if bonus are curraghs, we need explore the water to find some interesting islands.so first building in capital will be curragh.
if bonus is tech "write", we separate far away from AI, I perfer built warrior first for MP, and to MM as quickly as possible or MM sling shot.
if compose, then dice, random choose how to start.

What, not even one comment on my suggestion on changing up the scoring system? Even a snide one...c'mon?

Alright I give you a comment
It was all discussed thouroughly way back, so no one will feel like starting discussing it again. If you're interested you could look up the Jason scoring discussions.

Very pertinent! So if the bonus is a galley (rather than a curragh, even though this is C3C) and a settler, it implies there is better land to be found on some nearby shore than the island we start on . It certainly suggests to me that Mapping should get higher priority than Republic...

Thanks, that is all I wanted. I will actually look into those Jason Scoring Discussions. I do appreciate it.
