OCC PBEM Game

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

request: could everyone please state 'OCC' when sending me a save / battle report? I almost mis-moved (planning several cities) until I realized which game this is!


let's see: a cow a wheat a hut a river.......

I have 2 questions about the OCC rules. Is it allowed to abandon your own capital (I don't even know if that is possible ) when you captured another city? And may you create a settler on a galley so when your capital is destroyed you can build it somewhere else?

In both causes you will still have only 1 city all the time.

 

[essexloony2]

Unless you have seriously flawed tactics, or fall way behind in Tech, your city being destroyed is very unlikely.

However, I believe that if you lose your city, you are out.

 

[Djurre]

I the last GOTM I built a settler and put it on a galley just before the Persians took my last city Babylon (I saw the AI do that in one of my previous games). I wasn't destroyed, I could still sail my galley (until I suicided it to find new land). So in an OCC game (without elimination) you could build a galley with a settler on it as an extra saveguard. I agree with you ,essexlooney , that when your capital is destroyed you'll be defeated later anyway, because you'll will be too far behind.

But now for example suppose you are a very suicidal warmonger and your opponent is also and you both have a settler on a galley ( I know, a lot of assumptions ). You and your opponent are both at the gates of eachothers capital with a huge military force but have both neglected the defense of your city ( remember, you are suicidal ). Then if you are the first one to take the capital you could abandon your own capital and keep the opponents capital. Now your opponent won't have a big city anymore and has to use his settler to rebuild one.

It is a strange example, but i just wanted to know if building a settler on a galley is allowed in the OCC game.

 

[anarres]

IMO, losing your capital should result in instant death. It just seems right

 

[Djurre]

Yes, I agree. I think your game should be over when you lost your capital. That way players could not conquer a city with a wonder in it and then disband their own capital to keep the wonder.

 

[Melifluous]

OK,

Just to clarify then...

OCC means One CITY challenge, you build no others...

Settlers must not be built ever! Only for use as prebuilds...

Settler gained from huts MUST BE DISBANDED

Cities gained from huts and/or conquest must immediatley RAZED!

Anyone breaking from these rules will instantly lose...

PS. heh, that sounded tough didn't it

 

[Djurre]

Well, that answers all my questions. Thanks.

 

[col]

I keep checking my email but nothing has arrived yet.

 

[WildFire]

My email is messed up col. I can still recieve the game but it won't let me send it.

 

[col]

Ok. No prob. Pulled it down from here.
******** starting position.

And sent on to Djurre.

 

[Djurre]

I played my turn and sent it on to Melifluous.

 

[Melifluous]

I got it....

Shame on you Djurre, playing and posting on Christmas day...

anyways next up... anarres!

Melifluous

 

[Djurre]

I am not a Christian. So I didn't know that I would offend you when I E-mailed you on Christmas day. If I did, I apologize for it.

Good luck with your game.

Djurre

 

[Melifluous]

Oh man , that is the funniest thing I heard inna long time

Offend me by sending me mail? Even at Christmas?
Not bloody likely...

I also am not a Christain, (not that I have anything against them the poor deluded fools), I was merely surprised that you were playing Civ3 instead of drinking till you were ill or that ugly girl became a model (you KNOW what I mean)...

And I suppose I was only not playing because I was at my In-laws and they do not play Civ3...
Still working on that one....

Anyway Seasons Greetings From The Capatalistic Western Money Obsessed Materialistic Society and a profitable New Year to all...



Melifluous

 

[Djurre]

Allright then.

A profitable new year to you too Melifluous.

 

[anarres]

Passed on.

My turns are gonna be very short for a while...

 

[col]

Has this game died?
Who has the save??
Will I ever play turn 2???

 

[Melifluous]

As far as I know EssexLoony2 has the game...

And he aint around again until tomorrow

Dont ya just hate Christmas...

Melifluous

 

[Melifluous]

Could whoever has the game at the moment send me an email to let me know where it is at the moment?

Also I am gonna introduce a new rule type thing...

Could everybody in the game send an email to everyone else in the game when they finish a turn, just to let everyone know where the game is at...

Then we can flame or badger as we see fit
