[anarres]

Hey melifiliolsouos???. I'm officially starting a campaign to get your nick forceably changed to melif so I can write it correctly for once

Oh, yeah, romans

 

[anarres]

Like the map settings

 

[WildFire]

I'll be Carthage.

 

[col]

I'll give it a go. Just got PTW and patch. My first PBEM so be gentle with me.

Dont mind who - no idea of strengths and weaknesses of new civs anyway!

@Anarres - I changed my mind!

 

[ERIKK]

He he!

Your first PBEM and immediately go for OCC! I will follow this one closely from the thread! Good luck to you all, I think it will be a hard one!

 

[col]

Well the way I see it is that if I get taken out early then at least I can watch some of the big boys play. Besides OCC for everyone might be fun - if a bit cutthroat. I can see a few different possible strategies here. There wont be any slow lingering deaths in this kind of game.

Maybe I'll get a nice fertile island all to myself

Put me down as a random civ - then the others wont know what to expect either!

So if possible I'd like to be random.

Civ : Lankies
Adjective : Lanky

You wont know what units to expect or when my GA might be.

 

[essexloony2]

Stupid question (but I better check anyway):

Doe everyone know the definition of an OCC game? I ask because in the tounament someone submitted an OCC game that was a 20K culture victory (One City Culture).

OCC stands for One City Challenge. This means that you can only ever have 1 city. If you take another city you have to raise it. (Variant Rule: You may capture a city, but you must get rid of it in the same turn. This is pointless here anyway, since no-one else could buy it from you )

Or are we playing the 20K culture win?

Dont worry Anarres. In the unlikely event that I capture your city, I promise to raze it straight away.

I have a totally theoretical strategy for OCC, that I shall be testing during this game....
