RB20 - Miller Time

[Sirian]

Great game guys. I'm heavily impressed how whole empires vanish from one replay screen to the other And - this was AI work, not yours. You just filled up the space.

Without infinite rail movement, and thanks to defender bonuses and AIs who keep a significant mobile reserve, warfare is a much slower thing for the Civ4 AI than the Civ3 AI. There simply aren't enough turns in the game (before Space, Diplo win, etc) to allow the AIs to play out wars.

Yet the game is already long enough, and extending it (artificially, as we did in this variant) is not a solution, being overly dull in all cases.


Sometimes you have to pay for a stronger, more entertaining early game by sacrificing somewhere else.

I only wish Charis were around. He'd have enjoyed this one. Not that any of you know Charis, but he and I dragged some Realms Beyond Diablo players over here at the end of 2001 to play the original RB1.

As do I. Charis was one of my favorite teammates in Civ3 SGs. I played 6 games with Charis; the only teammate who was more common was T-Hawk, with 9 shared games. But cancer needs a cure too! Good luck Charis!

That's what I get for not keeping up on this, no sooner do I discover this game going, and it's already over!
