Basically, we must win by Culture, and all our cities must have at least ONE wonder in them.

Difficulty: Monarch
Map: Continents
Size: Large
Speed: Normal
Victory Conditions: All enabled, but we must win by Cultural.

Variant Rules:
* Each city must have at least ONE World Wonder built in them

Roster:
01 Pholkhero
02 Imhotep
03 Zophos
04 Ozbenno
05 Rex

Oh, and this game is being played with the Warlords Expansion Pack.

 

[·Imhotep·]

Wonders ? Building ? That's my second and third Civ name... The first one is loser of course, but who cares . I therefore request a ticket to Happy Little Wonderland™ !!!

 

[pholkhero]

Of course you're in ~ when i say you lurking on the board here, i was counting how long it would be until you posted.

a little more than 10 mins? not bad.

 

[Zophos]

I'm new to most of the conditions in this game...

Played 2-3 Warlords games so far, none to completion yet (just testing the new stuff). Comfortable at Prince, haven't moved to Monarch yet. Mostly Epic/Fractal/Standard, with various civs, but tending to Financial. Have never gone for Cultural Victory, and this would be my first SG.

...but I'm interested, if you'll have me. I can only play evenings (Central Time, US), but I lurk the boards off and on most days.

If not, happy to lurk or take an alternate slot. It'll be a learning experience either way, and I've loved following your other SGs.

 

[pholkhero]

and I've loved following your other SGs.

Zophos ~ any fan of mine is certainly welcome to play ~ now, if you're a fan of Imhotep's, you can f*ck right the f*ck off

you're in! i've editted the Roster.

 

[Ozbenno]

I've now got Warlords and need an excuse to play it if you'll have me!

Can we use Rex's dice for the leader roll?

 

[Zophos]

if you're a fan of Imhotep's, you can f*ck right the f*ck off

<python> (long pause) How shall we f*ck off, Master? </python>

you're in! i've editted the Roster.

Nifty! And I've edited...um...my .sig. (shows off shiny new SG entry)

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Hmmmm, I'm torn between lack of time and playing a game whose name you STOLE FROM ME. Prick. You can't TM my saying!!!!

Now then, hmmmm...

 

[Meatbuster]

Hey pholk! Please put me up as an alternate, thanks!

 

[pholkhero]

I've now got Warlords and need an excuse to play it if you'll have me!

Can we use Rex's dice for the leader roll?

You're in!

@ Rex, what's the site for your dirty dice? Are you going to sign up or what??

@ Robo ~ i have you listed as an alternate ~

will roll up a start as soon as I receive a dice location. If not by midnight est, then i'll use regular dice

 

[Xtream_Rockstar]

ill join if i can

 

[pholkhero]

i can slot you as the other alternate, Xtream, if a 2nd person drops out ~

 

[karr1255]

I would really like to join the roster, haven't had a cultural victory or builder game in a long time.

/e: too late :/

 

[pholkhero]

@ Karr ~ i was thinking of starting up an SG where a Religious-based diplo win would be the goal, with a heavy focus on Great Prophets w/Gandhi as a leader. interested in that??

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Arm sufficiently twisted. And for the lazy researcher (you work at a university for the love of Ringo) my dice site is up your beagle.

 

[karr1255]

If it's warlords you can sign me up for that. I'm a religious nut anyway and I have time for another SG.

 

[Talamane]

I WILL be lurking.

 

[Meatbuster]

Hey pholk, I modified an old leader picker script and made a civ random selector for WL.
BTW Even though I made sure it doesn't favor new leaders, it's still really rare not to get a new leader (4 out of 100 with 6 players).

[pholkhero]

Welcome to all ~

@ Rex ~ that's a crazy roller. i've never actually used that before, despite its popularity in RNGod.

@ Robo ~ "page is currently diasbled"

i'm nuerotic about randomness anyway and prefer hand-rolled dice strange, i know

So, the results are:
Catherine of Russia: Creative & Imperialistic

Our Opponents:
01 Kublai Khan
02 Cyrus
03 Brennus
04 Tokugawa
05 Hannibal
06 Churchill

Catherine was someone i had in mind, and got her on the 2nd roll (first was Gandhi of course it was). start coming in a bit.
