SGOTM3 Rome - Announcement and Sign Up Thread.

[leif erikson]

Please put me in M-B. You've got me hooked. Can do either or .

Hoping that the X-Men want to stay together, but they will have to speak for themselves!

 

[-0blivion-]

Sign me up, either PTW or Vanilla Civ3. So does this mean SGOTM2 must be finished by 13th July

 

[scoutsout]

I'm in ....looking at the mods... squid unit...

Nothing in the scoring/management says its necessary. You may note there's a pop up menu on the summary/graph/downloads page to select the game to view, and that'll work however many games are in progress.

Of course, m-b may choose to constrain you for other than technical reasons

A glutton for punishment, heh? Well, if it's the wish of the people, the Xteam can give a return performance. Now we are two. P'raps we'll even win something this time

I'm in ....looking at the mods... squid unit...

Well, I've been called a lot of things in my time, but never a 'squid unit'

 

[smackster]

Sign me up for the variant (preferred) or if needed.

Scout: I have taken the squid unit out of the game to make it a zero download game. Sorry

-Oblivion-: No you don't have to finish SGOTM2 by 13th July. Notionally I am putting a ten week limit on games. But I need to get a bit more experience in developing games and variants that will take 10 weeks or less to play for 95% of the teams.

Anyway - 10 days is 40 turns and I can't believe there is a game still running that will last that long - is there

 

[Peglegasus]

Another Peanut signing up here! Will play PTW or 1.29. Dig the variant
Would love to stay with team Peanut if possible.

 

[bigchief]

I'm in if Team Peanut is going to be playing together again.

Nah cause you guys still have to put up with me

Officially signing up for sgotm3, hopefully as part of the XTeam once again.

 

[tao]

The survivors of team tao will participate in SGOTM3. We did not yet discuss whether we do the Sponsored Variant. It is very tempting, but IMHO way harder than ordinary deity level. A challange. I'm in favor of it.

PS: And we need about 2 more team members.

PPS: Macintosh/vanilla 1.29

 

[Wotan]

Sign me up for a PTW team, please. And, I wouldn't mind playing the variant if possible.

 

[Furiey]

Just to confirm as a survivor of team tao I'm in. The variant certainly sounds tempting, but this will be my first real foray above Monarch. I'm always up for a challenge though....

One question on the variant: does rule 10 mean that when you capture a city you can not install a new governor and have to raze immediately, or can you install a new governor, move troops through then raze as long as it's on the same turn?

 

[mad-bax]

When the last unit wins, you get the option of capturing or razing the city. You must raze it.

The only exception is where the AI have just captured one of your towns. You are then permitted to re-take the town to see if there are any foreigners within it. If there are you muxt raze it. Otherwise you can keep it.

 

[Furiey]

Thanks MB - that's what I thought it would be, but better to confirm now rather than get it wrong in the game!

 

[rrau]

Sign me up. Either vanilla or ptw. Usually win on warlord. Win about 50% on regent. I need to work on war strategies so I'm game for the variant

 

[grs]

Sign me up - can't resist the romans and PTW please. Maybe I play another roman game with bede, conehead and slinger

 

[Demiurge]

1.29

Turning up the heat pretty fast aren't we MB?
Count me in for team tao. The variant sounds challenging indeed. If its way harder than deity as tao suggests, it probably warrants some discussion in our team thread prior to making a decision.

 

[tao]

When you want to sell a tech you ask how much they will give for it and either accept or decline the offer.

If you want to buy a tech you ask how much they want for it and either accept or decline again. No fiddling with gold and gpt to squeeze the last coin from your opponent.

I don't understand how this can work. Please elaborate.

1. AI has 3 techs, I have 3 techs. I want to get their techs, ask for them and they say "It can't be done." Now I have to modify my request.
2. What if the AI wants feudalism and wm for feudalism. Do I have to accept or am I free to decline?
3. What if the AI wants gpt and I know that I will break the deal by declaring war soon? Must I accept?

May I suggest that you remove this part from the draft rules.

 

[barbslinger]

Just read Tao's questions and:
I don't think we are forced to accept but any deal given that we DEEM worthy we HAVE to accept at face value. No haggling.
Barbslinger is in and preferring, like Microbe, OUR team.
