I have all turns saved using CAII so that information is already to hand. I actually had two weak civs down to one city each but kept them in check to try and help with tech progress so my condition for (a)could have been beaten, even by my poor warmongering standards!MeteorPunch said:2. How boring would it be to keep playing to 2050? There should be 3 checkponts.
a. when you have the last civ down to one city.
b. when you have the last civ down to one city, and your score eclipses theirs...if it hasn't already.
c. 2050.
I actually played a quick fire 50-60 turns after posting just before going to work. Every 7 turns I have an archer to kill but it won't take very long now. However the first two checkpoints are a good idea. People can then choose to abandon their game once the milk phase comes in.
Should we change b to "when your score eclipses all other civs' scores" as my remaining civs were not the highest scorers? Your choice
Standard map.MeteorPunch said:If you have this info, that would make me lean more towards playing your game. I really wouldn't want you to have to play another unless you really want too. Was the map Standard, or Small with 8 civs?
I'd be happy to play again on a different map. I would just need to ask someone else to check that the map we play is a single landmass before we start or I could start it a couple of days before posting it. The game is a fun variant IMO because of the OCC handicap so I will play another game like this soon. Trying it out as the Celts offers a different challenge.
Regent it is then! Having got this far, I think I should set up a Celts regent level game. Just let me know how many civs and how large the map should be. I'll probably submit my other attempt as a HoF attempt and post a thread telling you all what I did as I kept a timeline of key events. I lost some of it in a powercut when we had some thunderstorms over here the other day but I have most of it and some screenshots of when I KO'd the various civs. This will give other people a guide to what I did and a target to beat!MeteorPunch said:I'm really kind of scared to play this on monarch. I say start a thread in Stories & Tales, hopefully some more will join in, and we can make a spoiler thread next week.
Does that sound OK?
