SGOTM3 Rome - Announcement and Sign Up Thread.

MadBax:

Looks like Team Peanut's bag of mixed nuts wants to risk being crushed into some sorry kind of sandwich spread in their insane quest for glory and one of those laurel thingies.

In summary : Keith Larson, Civ_Steve, Peglegasus, Bigchief and Peanut are willing to tackle the variant in PTW. Planetfall may well wish to join in the mayhem and slaughter as well.

A quick question - do we have to initiate discussions and hostilities with these inferior races as soon as we see them wander by or can we wait until they contact us ?
 
Team Microbe is complete for the variant.
gozpel, scoutsout, TedJackson, microbe and barbslinger ready for battle.

Is that some kind of bad omen to play PBEM with Akots?

No, but it's comparable to my local High School football team playing against the Raiders... everyone knows what to DO, and how to DO it, but the Raiders would stomp the High School team... hopefully.:p

No offense Scouts, but you just recently were promoted from the TDG... I think Akots could start one.:p

None taken - you got my point exactly. I learned Akots skills firsthand as a member of his team in SGOTM1. And it doesn't take a perceptive person to see him winning medals and posting consistent top finishes in GsOTM.

"To lift an autumn hair no sign of great strength,
To see the sun and moon no sign of great vision..."
 
I'm playing a practice game in preparation and I captured a catapult - I disbanded in my practice game but what is the ruling going to be for the sgotm? Are we going to refuse to use the inferior workmanship of the foreigners or take it by our "right" and use it against them?
 
Haven't seen a reply to my question:

When I want to ask "what would you offer for tech X", could I also include gold saying "what would you offer for tech X plus gold Y"? Similarly, could I say "what would you need for tech X and gold Y"?

I think both is allowed. X and Y may be any sum of values.
As a result you will pay 10-18% more, then after normal negotiation.
Real pain will be if you want to avoid trade contacts and want to bue contacts... In this case AI simply will offer you WM, useless Techs, but not what you want.

Well...

I'm involved with him in a couple of PBEM games and so far I haven't felt the wrath of his sword. :mischief:
 
I don't think you can keep offering tech +100g and then tech x +200g. That is just a reverse haggle. You can only offer a tech to see what you can get. You can also only ask for techs. I don't think you can attach gold to your tech offers.

OK, let M-B make it clear. Anyhow I will not play this variant.
 
I think I got it all the first time but to clarify. (and easier to read)

1. Any (would prefer c3c but will fit in where ever)
2. Variant
3. Emperor
4. first SGOTM

Ta,
The Nemesis.

If Team Handy wants to tackle this one, that's fine be me!

Ok, that makes it three players from Team Handy (Me, TedJackson and Coletite). We still need Handy to sign up too...

Ted, No problem then. Then we'll join other teams. The new Handy2 will then beat your new team :rolleyes: :D

OK since it seems to be a bone of contention, I will attempt to dot the i's and cross the t's about the trading debate.

1. You may trade techs at face value (buy or sell)
2. You may trade luxuries at face value (buy or sell)
3. You may trade resources at face value (buy or sell)
3. You may NOT lend or borrow money
4. You may NOT buy or sell workers
5. You may NOT add gold or gpt to an offer even if it is your first offer
Gold or gpt must not be part of any trading package that you enquire as to the worth of. :cringe:

5 in particular is self evident in my eye, and am having all sorts of trouble trying to find a form of words which is not obviously a statement of the obvious.

If you want a tech then pay them what they ask for it. If you want to sell a tech, sell it for what they will give you for it. If you think you are being ripped off, don't do the deal.

I know a good lawyer who I may ask to draft a legally robust document, as I am apparently lacking the necessary grasp of the english language. :joke:
 
1. The software version you play.
I prefer PTW but if it means getting on a team or not I can play all
2. Whether you want to play the sponsored variant or not.
You can choose.
3. What level you normally play/ are comfortable with
Comfortable with Monarch (I should prolly move up to emperor)
4. Whether you want to stay in a previous team.
Team scout has been disbanded so no...

Side note:
I doubt we'll be giving away any cities this round seeings that we found out that once given all of the citizens instantly become foreign.
 
PTW for me. I hate moving workers, military units around one at a time.
I want to play the variant as well, even though I don't get it. :)
 
Well, I was really gonna let this one slip by, but the variant looks like too much fun, though probably nasty.

Sign me up for a variant team only.

It does not look like Team Alamo will be back, or at least not in it's current iteration, so wherever is fine with me.
