Sharing the wealth: seeds of victory

[TheOverseer714]

So you have a gorgeous start. You play it out to a great victory for yourself. So what then? I say, share the wealth! If you have the 4000 BC save, post it here, maybe with a screenshot and basic info about settings so that other players can enjoy some of your luck. If you are concerned about level of play, with basic information, a new save can be created at the desired level. So if you want to share, this is the place.

This is an interesting little Emperor game as the Japs. Standard size all random. Explore!

Excellent idea!

I don't have anything for the moment, but I'd like to see some nice seafaring starts on emperor (not Carthage, lots of commerce and maybe some beef). I'd like to do a 20k with Spain, Portugal or Vikings. So if you've got some old saves - upload please!

For 20ks:
Spain Standard Deity: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2535

Portugal Large Deity: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2482
Portugal Large Demi-God: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2396
Byzantines Large Demi-God: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2389

Byzantines Huge Warlord: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2425

I really do need to start playing the Dutch more, don't I?

You can find screenshots in the links given there, but beware... spoilers also await there. I can give a nice Standard Sid Carthage and a nice Small Deity Carthage here in a few days once the update comes out.

For a more military game, here's a standard Deity Maya game http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2536

For research games with lots of scientific opponents see these:
Standard Demi-God Sumeria: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2533
Standard Demi-God Sumeria: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2506
Standard Deity Sumeria: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2506
Standard Deity Korea: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2423

I can provide a Huge faster tech pace game with Sumeria in a few days also.

Here is a nice DG Ottoman map:

How did you get that world properties thing?

 

[thetrooper]

Seedbeast maybe?

 

[TheOverseer714]

CivAssist 2, in the world map tab, right click menu, properties. It also shows opponents, which I deliberately hid for spoiler reasons.

Edit: thetrooper, if you have a good seafaring tribe map, I can use the seed and plug in the Vikings at your desired level.

 

[Bucephalus]

CivAssist 2, in the world map tab, right click menu, properties. It also shows opponents, which I deliberately hid for spoiler reasons.

Opponents can be changed when you have the seed.

 

[vmxa]

Best I tell is that even when you use every setting, including nations the same order, it still will not be perfect match. The more changes the farther it seems to be form the original. I tried a few times in the past to match posted games, but with limited results.

 

[Spoonwood]

I know I've gotten Mathias's "parade of cattle" start with tribes other than the Celts using the seed, same number of opponents, and the same settings (amount of water, temeperature, wetness, age).

 

[thetrooper]

Thanks Spoonwood for posting those starts. I'll take a look at them when opportunity knocks.

@TheOverseer714: I'll check out Spoonwood's starts before I try Scandinavia. Thanks for the proposal though.

 

[Spoonwood]

Thetrooper:

I'd be interested to know which starts you've tried and how your game(s) goes.

 

[Spoonwood]

As promised:

Carthage Small Deity: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2539
Ottomans Small Emperor: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2541
Korea Standard Sid: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2543
Carthage Standard Sid: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2558
Sumeria Huge Deity: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ3/game_info.php?entryID=2555

I'll have to finish some ongoing games first. I'll post here when I get them going.

I'm afraid that I'm not at a computer where I can get to my saves, take screenshots, etc. However, in the story that I started here, there's a 3-cow, riverside start as the Romans in a Monarch level game. IIRC, it's a pangaea, 60% water. There's a screenshot posted in the first post and the save is in the 3rd post. I haven't finished playing out the game or posting the story, but eventually, I will.

 

[timerover51]

IIRC CivAssist2 is not available for the Mac. Is that still correct?

 

[TheOverseer714]

Sorry to the Mac fans, but no. I'm sure a great programmer could port it to Mac, but no one ever did.
