RBCiv Conquests SG Discussion Thread

[hotrod0823]

I'm in and will take a look at the scenario before we start up then decide on difficulty. Any and all comments welcome.

BTW I think a couple more players would make it a better game. I think 3 should be a minimum.

Kylearan: If your interested in the Franks then you can be added to our roster

Just checking in. I'm fine with the Ostro team.

 

[Reagan]

Although I've kept track of the RBCiv SGs on here, I haven't fired-up C3C in at least two weeks. I'm going to pass on the Rome scenario, but thanks for the invite.

 

[Coffee]

Its maybe little soon to tell but it doesn't look as though Sid will get played. I'm good with that as I have some rl tasks to do. I'll pass then, thanx for the invite and good luck.

 

[Kylearan]

Okay, it's the Franks for me then - looking forward to play with you, Hotrod.

I just hope we'll get at least one additional player. I'm not too fond of a fast-rotating three player game.

PS - Looking over current players in RB SG's, the following are players not yet listed above:
Meldor, Reagan, Kylearan, Griselda, Bede, Barbslinger,
JMB, Yom, LAM, Belisar, Gormdragon, Kuningas
Sulla/Marshall/GhostsOfChristmasPast

 

[Caesar_Augustus]

Could I jump into the Sassanids game?

And has anyone ever tried playing as Western/Eastern Rome in this scenario? I once edited it so I could play as Western Rome, but didn't see it through all the way due to boredom. The first few turns were pretty frantic, trying to ensure that none of my precious cities were captured/razed.

@Skyfish, T-Hawk,
If you're still looking to sign up, we could use another couple players on the Vandals game! I've been looking at the start, decent area, but it looks like we will have to fight through some rivals to even get to either Rome. Should be interesting!

 

[Aggie]

The Ostrogoths also need new recrutes

 

[Charis]

@Skyfish - Dang it! In compiled that list I did it in two places and got the copy paste wrong I'm sorry - I did have you in there, really.

I think some of you are misreading T-Hawk's comments. He *is* doing the Sid game, but he will also be filling in an open slot in one of the, er... less extreme games

Once the games are public, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see 1-2 more signups per game if you say you're still looking for more. Also, if a game ends up with two I'm sure you'll get a double-dipper to help you out -- I know that's too small to be safe or fun. (I'm going to DD on one, hoping for Ostrogoths but will see if there's a game with a bigger need before signing on)

I'll post the current rosters, assign letters and open a general announce/rules thread for Fall of Rome either tonight or tomorrow, so we can get started this weekend.

Thanks for all the interest,
Charis

Sign me up for any of the more challenging variants, please. I have no real preference for a civ; the Franks or Ostrogoths games most likely conform to my play level though I wouldn't say no to the Visigoth version (the Visigoths are free to say no to me though ).

I have played in a few deity SG's, and my latest solo game was an Arabic deity game where I later discovered I had accidentally set AI agressiveness to to 'most agressive' - the last AI standing is being mopped up as we speak.

 

[Aggie]

WB Jack You are most welcome in the Ostrogoths!

 

[mitsho]

It's ok for me with the sassanid game. With Casear-Augustus (what a name?) and Corrado, I think we are pretty full, aren't we?

[JMB]

I think I'd best pass on this game (I need to limit myself to two games. Of course, my games will likely finish up and then then there won't be any games opening for awhile because everyone is playing this scenario... ) Thanks for offering me a spot though... I'll be reading the games with interest.

[Kabuki]

I wouldn't mind trying the Anglo-Saxon game. I would be taking a big step up from my normal difficulty, and if that is a problem I have no issues sitting on the sidelines and watching.

Btw. Has anyone thought about worker buys in the scenarios, as most tribes start with multiples... I looked at the A-S start and this issue is entirely relevant as there is a first turn buy available.

 

[T_McC]

Alright, it sounds like the Anglo-Saxons have a full roster with Kabuki joining the fray. I'll try to start the thread tonight, or tomorrow morning.

Hopefully the other games will start to fill up soon.

@Charis - Would have been fun to have you join us. Maybe next time. Or maybe this time if the other two members of the team don't realize they are playing!

I guess this will be RBC12-a.

[Charis]

T_McC,

I'm glad you guys are all set. To avoid cross posts and double lettering (since you can't effectively edit the title), the game
letters should be pre-assigned. I'm just now posting an overall announce thread, and list the following:

A) Vizigoths - Deity
B) Celts - Sid
C) Huns - Deity
D) Vandals - Demigod
E) Franks - Deity
F) Ostrogoths - Demigod
G) Sassanids (Persians) - Emperor (slots full)
H) Anglo-Saxons - Demigod (slots full)

I think we have 3 for each now, so although some games could use a pair more, we're ready to go!

Good luck all!
Charis

 

[Aggie]

I volunteer to run RBC12F (Ostrogoths), but would it be OK if someone else plays the first turns? I haven't played that many Conquest. If no-one volunteers I'd like to wait, read through a couple of other RBC12's and then start up.

 

[jack merchant]

I'd play the first turns Aggie, however I do have a bit of foreknowledge (having already played this scenario as the Franks, Vandals and Celts). Not about exact resource placement though.

Anyway, I'll open a thread with the start for discussion.

 

[T-hawk]

Who's captaining the Hun game? Signed up seem to be Ridgelake, Grimjack, and (probably) myself. I've already got the Celts/Sid game to run. Grimjack, you interested?
