RB18: Romanus eunt domus!

[Rex Tyrannus]

Look for this line, Pholk:

BeginPlayer
	Team=0
	LeaderType=LEADER_JULIUS_CAESAR

I *think* if you change Team=18, it'll work.

@ Tally ~ never presume...when you presume you make a pre out of 'u' and me ~ no

@ Rex: i'll send it ~ but we're not JC though, remember that...we're Reg.

 

[Dreylin]

Hey guys, if there's still space I'd be up for giving this extreme variant a go ... and I really hate the Romans!

Had another variant thought last night; as we are the PFJ and the founders of Judaism, any other civ who adopts Judaism must be the JPF (splitters!) ... so we should treat them accordingly.

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

@ Tally ~ never presume...when you presume you make a pre out of 'u' and me ~ no

Pholk, you got it all wrong. It's never make an assumption. It makes an ass out of you and umption.

@ Drylin. I thought you were already in. Weren't you? Regarding your variant: I think it's a good idea so long as we realize we're making the whole world into our enemies. (That really is what the PFJ* was about, right?) We hate the Romans for not being Jewish and everyone else for being Jewish. SPLITTERS!

*Wait, are we the PFJ or the JPF? Now I'm confused.

 

[Dreylin]

@ Drylin.

Ahem, I realise we've just met and all, but I'd like to reserve the right to be wet when I want to be...

I thought you were already in. Weren't you?

I think I'm the [Reserved] spot on Pholk's current roster....

*Wait, are we the PFJ or the JPF? Now I'm confused.

Yes, definitely; one or the other ... or both!?!?

 

[·Imhotep·]

Always look on the dark side of life. Still a spot open ?

Edit: Ah, I see, roster has been finalized. Good luck guys, I'll be lurking...

Final Roster up ~ welcome aboard Drey and Tally!

Rex fixed this for me, but after playing some turns, here's the problem. You can't talk to the Barb leader so you can't select techs NOR select a city to attack. That being said, it makes Conquest that much harder as an OCC ~ my solution: either a 3CC or 6CC (pref 3CC) to ease everything ~

thoughts all?? I'd like to get the game up and play 30 ASAP so please respond ASAP!

Dreylin: i LOVE that idea re: Judaic splitters. anybody else think that's cool?

 

[Dreylin]

Well, maybe instead of a true OCC we could tweak it so that we can only found one city, but can capture the rest ... not sure how that would fit with the theme, though. Oooo, carrying on the Judaic theme, we can only capture cities which have been enlightened with the Jewish religion - thus re-absorbing the splitters!

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

Hmmm...I'm oposite of Dr(e)ylin. I say wipe the splitters off the map. Okay to keep other cities (for to spread the enlightenment).

Also, I'd like 3CC more than 6CC, should we decide not to go with Dreylin's idea.

Lastly, Pholk, no room for LT?

 

[Ozbenno]

I think maybe if we're upping to a 3CC game, our two other cities we must capture and they must be Jewish (assimilating the Judeans Peoples Front and the Judeans Popular Peoples Front into the bosum of the Peoples Front of Judea). All non-Jewish cities must be razed and salt sewn in the ashes.

I asuume, Pholk, when you said "You can't talk to the Barb leader so you can't select techs NOR select a city to attack.", you meant select techs from the Barb leader. We can trade techs from everyone else (except the really really really hated Romans)?

 

[mostly-harmless]

I like how we already debate about the game in a very PFJ style manner! That's promising!

I am in favour of three cities. Also I would like us to be forced to stay in Theocracy, in order to not allow spread of any other religions.

Lurker's comment:

I think it would be in the spirit of both movie and variant to treat the Jewish cities in the foreign countries as follows:

• All Jewish cities must be captured and NOT razed
• After capturing a Jewish city it must be at least one time to bring your fellow Jews on the right track of the PFJ again
• Roman cities can be captured or razed (must be kept if Jewish!), in case of capturing the city must be as long as there are Roman citizens in it (to be determined with the city screen)
• The use of missionaries is NOT allowed, because the new brothers of the faith will convert to the other splitter group
• The first Great Prophet must be used for the Temple of Solomon

After all it might be a good idea to hand-build the map. On Noble it is not a great difficulty to get Judaism if you concentrate on it, but one could set up the starting cities as holy cities. If I'm not playing in this I'd set up an interesting map for you if you want that - I've fumbled around with World Builder often enough...

[pholkhero]

@ Imhotep ~ Welcome aboard! I'm a big softie and 7 is a good number.

Good ideas all ~ it's settled then, we cannot BUILD any more cities, but we may capture them.

I also like Immy's compromise of sorts re: Jewish cities ~ we must capture them and whip them until there's only one pop left ~ Roman cities: we can NOT keep; the others: either/or ~

I'm also going to create a GP named Brian ~ he must not be captured nor used ~ if either occur, we lose! [cue "Bright Side of Life"] (lurkers et al: you may use this idea in future SGs ~ civ4's version of Capture the King for the player!!)

by "no talking to Barb leader" i meant that you can't do the normal direction of research or attack as you can w/normal AI teammates ~ which makes it a little harder game.

 

[mostly-harmless]

The RB Forums are down!?
I wanted to look at all the Warlord Adventure reports!
Now I actually got some work done.

@pholky:

Cool that I'm in. Hello to all teammates ! If you want to know more about me - just ask pholk or rex...

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

The exultant Mr. LT Timhotep of Athens! Welcome aboard. Now, Deutschlander eunt domus! SPLITTER!

 

[·Imhotep·]

@Rex:

Glad you kinda vouched for me. After all that mocking we did at RotQM with pholky as victim I feared he would call the roster finished ...

No problem. You, I vouch for. Tally on the other hand...

Hey Pholk, this is turning into the world's slowest SG. You want me to make a start for you? Smashy-smashy and all, know what I mean, know what I mean?

Dead Romans don't talk!

Yes, please do ~ I was going to start one tonight, but we blew a fuse so i'm not sure i'll have computer and internet access at home ~

i used custom game ~ Oasis, Standard, Epic, 5 opponents counting Rome, Bismarck as the Civ, Reg as our leader, People's Front of Judea as our civ, Judean as the adjective, PFJ HQ as our city ~ remember to team us up with barbs...play 25. ..

i'll go last in this SG ~

Final Roster:
Rex Tyrannus 25
Mostly_Harmless 25
Ozbenno 20
Talamane 20
Dreylin 15
Imhotep 15
Pholkhero 10.

"CRUCIFIXTION PARTY!! (Wait for it.) Crucifixtion party!! Move out!"

 

[Rex Tyrannus]

@The Minister of Silly Games: please confirm:

1. Frederick, not Bismarck, right?
2. Noble difficulty is what we decided, isn't it?
3. Standard map with 5 opponents? Why not the usual 7?
4. How *exactly* does one lock war in the WB?
