RBCiv Conquests SG Discussion Thread

Here are some thoughts on games coming up in Jan/Feb:
(All with C3C v1.12)

A) Scrappy Scientific Sumerians (Demigod) - RBC6, now opening
- Must NEVER give in to tribute
- Any foreign unit spending more than 1 turn in our territory must be given the boot
- No RoP or MPP
- May never trade cash for tech (GL, steals, peace negotiations are ok)
- Any sci leaders must be used for an age of science
- Continents 70/30, restless barbs, random climate, std size, rnd non-science opponents
- All victories enabled, but our preferred condition is space launch

B) Fall of Rome (in 1-2 wks)

The Rise of Rome scenario is almost done, with team C on their last turn and team A
within 4 player-turns of completion. RBC4A is done, B is in good progress, and C has
a long road ahead of them. It will be time in about a week or ten days to start the
Fall of Rome scenario. It's an elimination game (lose 8 cities and your civ dies)
with VP scoring. There are 7 Barbarian tribes to choose from, most/all Military/Indust,
and one non-barbaric tribe, the Sassanids (Persians). The barbs have their own path which
includes sacking, pillaging and capturing foes. Rome itself is two empires, east and
west, each with about 20 small cities plus their capital. The Barb tribes are the
Vizigoths (NE), Huns (far NE), Celts (NW isles), Franks (N), Vandals (NNW), Anglo-Saxons
(far N), Ostrogoths (ENE). Breakaway designers say that the Vizigoths in this scenario
are "certainly one of the toughest start positions in the entire expansion pack."
Back from my Diablo days I'm a big Goth fan, so I'm going to try the Vizigoths or Ostros.

I don't know how many sign-ups we'll get, but we can target 4 ppl per team and try to
fill up the civs (in order of preference since we won't likely field 8 teams :P )

Vizigoths
Sassanids
Huns
Ostrogoths
Vandals
Anglo-Saxons
Celts
Franks

Three other SG's I would like to run sometime if there is interest:

C) Austrian Fascists SG
We'll unlock the hidden 'extra civ' of the C3Conquests pack, the Austrians, and
their special 7.3.3 cav unit, while exploring the new Fascist government.

D) Revenge of the North Koreans. The Koreans are back for vengeance following their
defeat in RBP2. This time the North Koreans are in charge, and they have vowed to wipe
rival Russia off the face of the planet. To quote Meldor: "I demand a rematch!"
Original game was RBP2 - Asian Rumble: Warmongering Koreans (Deity SG).
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39219
Foes were: Japan, China, Mongols, India, Russia
Map: Small, 60% water Pangaea, 5 billion, temperate, Sedentary barbarians
This seems like a fine mix, and no new far East civs added in C3C anyway.
(First slots reserved for any RBP2 crew interested: Charis, Meldor, Jaxom, Marshall)
Other variant rules: must deny the first tribute demand, and must utilize catapults
in our first ancient war. Turns were episodic, about 20-30 turns per player turn.

E) Hittite Charioteers
A small game with open terrain to see if the new 3-man chariots are any good.

Please respond if you would like to join the RBC6 Sumerian game, if you have any
specific thoughs on the Fall of Rome, or if you have interest in any of the other 3.

Thanks,
Charis

Count me in for the Fall of Rome scenario, any of the Barbarian tribes. I have really enjoyed "exploring" these conqests as part of this group, and look forward to what looks like a real rampage in this one!
 
I would also like to play Fall of Rome. It is quite an interesting Conquest that demands completely different games depending on which tribe you chose.

Grimjack
 
Rise of Rome for me. (Any civ except the Celts)
Austria Fascism also sounds very intriguing.
 
:hammer: the ROMANS! I'll play any of them, but thinking back to history, didn't Attilla the HUN give Rome all kind of trouble? Let's re-enact that one.

I'd like to play more games, but with RBC4c and Maniac1 in full swing, I am already overcommitted.
 
Sign me up for the Fall of Rome, but please not a lead off slot.

Bugs
 
Would like to join Austrian Fascists.
 
Fall of Rome sounds good. Either the Franks or Ostrogoths as civ preference.

I'd go for the Hittite game, too.
 
Lots of signups for Fall of Rome, we'll get a bunch of teams! :goodjob:

I'll try to update my orig post to keep track of SG and Fall of Rome signups, but let me summarize here:

Roster status (besides Fall of Rome, still looking for signups)
Koreans: Charis, Meldor?, Skyfish, Speaker with Jaxom and Marshall too if they're around
Sumerians: Charis, Kylearan, Grimjack, Griselda, Aggie, Speaker
Austria/Fascism: Charis, Aggie, Rubberjello, Bede, mitsho
Hittite: Dwip, Elvis, 6thGenTexan, Yom, hotrod, Charis

Note!! All these are full - no new signups needed! Please do continue to sign up if interest in a Fall of Rome tribe :D

Game Status:
Sumerians has started as RBC6, and Austria as RBC7,
and RBC8 is Revenge of the Koreans. RBC9 due soon, Hittites.

Should I sign up again, I thought I was, but maybe I'm not.


Thanks,
