Ruff07 - Poor Marvin, but really ... who cares?

[Quotey]

I think a Pangaea would have been better..... Too late now though. What happened to the Deity research bonus? It's 60%, right?

Oh, we get the Deity research penalty (140%?).

So that'd be 1.5x research costs, though I may be pulling numbers out of my bottom.

Doesn't the AI get 5 free techs on Deity?

Lucker: This is a very cool idea! I'll sit back with my Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and watch you guys do the hard work!

You can sit back with a Pan Galactic Gurgle Blaster!

Even I can't hold that drink!

Nice turns

They start with Wheel, Agriculture, Hunting and Archery.

However, Hannibal loses some of them because he started teamed with a human (robot)

Techs cost us something like 72.5% more than they cost the other AIs, I think.

 

[ruff_hi]

umm - hadn't worked out the maths on the tech. Do we want to dial down the difficulty, change maps and start again?

 

[tycoonist]

could you mod it so we don't receive a research penalty? (i would but i don't understand xml, python etc.)

 

[Ralph_Jackson]

Must confess with the teamed up research penalty adn hardly the most welcoming terrain soemthing will need to be done...

Either Ruff's modding skills or plugging in the Infinite Improbability Drive (making sure the team is nice and hot) and see if we re-appear in a better start...

Lurker: Its easy when your strapped down

 

[ruff_hi]

I'm traveling today so we have some time for team input regarding continuing or restarting at a lower level. If we restart, I'm thinking Monarch or Emporer.

 

[Rex rgis of Ter]

I would like to restart on Emperor on a Pangea map.

 

[ruff_hi]

ok - Rex - go for it. And please take a peak in WB to see of our lands look ok. Best to say that Marvin stumbled on the improbability drive and ... look what happened!

 

[Rex rgis of Ter]

Marvin's new start is better

Spoiler :

But life is still so hard...

Will have the game up in a while. Please share thoughts on techs.

 

[ZPV]

I vote Fishing first. If we already have it then I guess BW or AH.
I think tech costs will still be extreme in this game however.

 

[Rex rgis of Ter]

So we have good land, but crowded. Meet our neighbours-

Spoiler :

These nasty three stupid men are not only numerous, but close.

Spoiler :

Finally, a view of our land when a pathetic human hope system is developed. Hope... how pointless.

Spoiler :

Bronze Working is still far away, but we'll need it to stop our neighbors. On the other hand, there is lots of gold and other resources near.

 

[ruff_hi]

ok - this looks more interesting. Good work Rex. I've got it - should be able to play and report by early Saturday.

 

[Eddie_SBC]

Hi There everyone. Wow - what has happened here? Have you been using that improbability drive again because the last time I checked we had landed on an Island and now all the sea is gone. Anyway, Rex has played and reported in time (what a good boy!) and Ruff_Hi (who calls their child such a silly name) has posted his got it on May 01, 2008, 06:24 AM. Hmm - seems Ruff_Hi is a little challenged when it comes to adding 48 hours to his got it time ... because his window closes on Saturday at 6:24AM. He did say 'early' Saturday so hopefully he knows what he is talking about.

Anyway, we'll just have to see what happens if he misses his window - wonder what the punishment is for that!

Here is an update on the Roster

Rex rgis of Ter (just played)
Ruff_Hi (up and posted his got it)
ZPVCSPLFUIFDPEF (next up - cannot believe what some of the modern parents are thinking!)

Hi There. Someone just mentioned that the SAVE is missing. I've checked my programming and I currently don't have any directions regarding what to do in this situation. I guess we should all now sit down, hold hands and sing kum-bay-ahh.

 

[daniel smith]

Damn, I love these no save - got its.

Anyway I don't really understand this game but I'll still follow and hope to learn something.

 

[Ralph_Jackson]

Good work Rex. I've got it - .

Ahh but what is it you've got,

i) Some strange communicable disease?
ii)The answer to life the universe and everything?

Because it certainly doesn't look like you've got a save.

[Rex rgis of Ter]

Sorry, here's the save. I completly forgot.

Damn it, the forum won't let me attach saves? Can anyone attach anything?
