very well done, everyone

I think we were never really in danger here. But a good learning experience for others I hope. I guess, since there isn't really sufficient interest to have more games, we let it rest for a while.

 

[Greebley]

Yes. nice job everyone.

Empire games vary greatly in difficulty mostly based on the start. This one was also on the easier side because we were able to deal with a single enemy early to form a single front. This is often the key to winning these games. The only game that wasn't true was an absolutely miserable start with no resources or water. Someday I may go back and play that game - I think a strong offense at the start to push to the resources would work.

That game is the first of Handy's games if you are curious:

That was fun, I enjoyed this SG very much. When you want to do more of this type, I will sign on. I have learned alot, but I still have much more to learn. I notice our bunch wasn't as chatty, much more business like. Just think, we finished an entire Succession Game with only 164 posts, thats like some kind of record

 

[Greebley]

Well if we get enough interest, I am up for another. Any lurkers - feel free to post if you are interested - even if you don't know how but want to learn.

Or even post if you would like to play, but after game x finishes. We can reconsider then.

I hope you have the 4000bc as it is no longer at the link.

lurker's comment: I'd be interested in playing the next AWE that gets started. I heartily enjoyed the RaR AWE that I played in last year.

lurker's comment: i'd be interested in joining a AWE game. unfortunatly, sticking to a 24/48 schedule would be difficult, theres a good chance i would need to swap or forfait some turnsets.

 

[ThERat]

so, it seems we go 3 participants besides Greebley and myself...anyone else? And what setting should we try?

 

[Greebley]

I have played games with 24/96 hours to play that have worked well enough if 48 is too small. One often plays only 5 turns (I know I have) when the warfare gets intense.

I wouldn't mind trying a random civ and see what we get if the rest of you feel up for it. My favorite is continents because I like the challenge of trying to land on the other continent and take it over.

 

[el_filet]

continents sounds fine to me. with most of the lineup more then qualified for a AWE, random civ should be fine too.
if you welcome a slower game 24/96 is ok for me, but we can try 24/48. just wanted to warn you in advance, that theres a good chance i'll occasionally need a swap or extension to complete my turnset.

 

[ThERat]

Anyone wants to start this game? I think continents with random Civ sounds fine with me.

 

[Greebley]

Its a good chance to practice starting an AWE game. I suggest 30 turns as 20 doesn't always give you enough opportunity to see if the game is viable. Sometimes you die early with nothing you can do.

 

[TheOverseer714]

I like a random civ on continents, just make sure you turn culturally linked off, so we don't see all the American tribes. I think a 24/96 or a 48/72 works best, so the "weekend warriors" can participate. I am game for another one.

 

[Own]

"weekend warriors"

Good term that is definately me.

 

[Donny Brook]

I'd be interested in joining the next game. It would be my first SG, but I lurked this thread and understood most of the constructive criticism, strategy, etc.

I also learned some new stuff - well done.

 

[ThERat]

welcome Donny

Since nobody wanted to start this game, I will do so tomorrow. Random Civ continent standard size map.
What about barbs?
