simple_01 Is This Monkey Craaaazy??

[SimpleMonkey]

Taking a stab at leading my own SG, well above my comfortable play skills. I was, I think, the weakest link in Own9, a noble attempt at Always War Deity on small continents. I would like to try it again, if anyone would care to join in. Civ to be decided. Roster totally empty. Open to suggestions as to how to start. Anyone up to joining in the Monkey Madness (R)?

lurker's comment: I'll be watching this. Im not Deity Material. Good Luck.

 

[conquer_dude]

lurker's comment: I'm not deity material either but, I could give it a shot, I've played and lasted pretty long before I got pissed off.

Is this in Play the World?

 

[SimpleMonkey]

I'd like to make this one C3C, since AW can really use the help of the much improved armies in Conquests.

And I'm definitely not Deity material myself. All the more reason for a monkey crew to make the attempt!

 

[conquer_dude]

Okay then count me out. Can't do conquests

 

[tupaclives]

lurker's comment: Will be lurking and watching, unfortunately I don't have conquests so I can't take part

 

[SimpleMonkey]

@tupac That's too bad. We gotta get a law passed that gets CivComplete for Mac down to Australia. Could really use you on this one.

If you need another "not-deity" monkey brain. You can have me. I recently started some AWD attempts and some went quite far, but I could not pull off a win, yet.

 

[Andronicus]

I need improving my warring skills, this SG sounds like it might provide the opportunity

Am willing to slug it out with other masochists

Dont consider myself comfortable at diety but have wins under my belt - always war is new to me so I might need pointing out the obvious

 

[SimpleMonkey]

That's two on on board for monkey madness! I'd say let's wait another day or two, then roll some starts and get some turns played by this weekend, at least.

To clarify for anyone else who'd like to try it:

Version: C3C 1.22
Level: Deity
World: Small Continents, should be old (5 million), not sure if wet is worth it
Civ: Not yet decided
Variant: Always War!

 

[Ansar]

Maybe, put me on backup, and conquests is better as you mentioned the thing about armies.

Im no better than any other player on this forum (and worse than plenty!), however as a lurker I'll still chip in with my $0.02 everynow and then if you'd like

Well, I step down from my immortal heavens for a while, and play with the peasants.

Please peasants, don't express your diligence with a capitol g, my name is gozpel...or if we get closer -> goz. So many people don't understand the virtue of a name, so for your understanding, my name is gozpel or just goz. If you are my friend. If you're not, goz is quite nice.

If I get my wants of this crazy game, I start.

Unfortunately, my life is fulfilled already, so someone has to make a good start.

Are there any peasants out there, to make a good start?

At least food bonus.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Roster to date:

goz - will lead off once we get a start decided on
Andronicus - on deck
SimpleMonkey -
markh -

At this point Ansar may well have decided that it's worth joining the monkey circus. Anybody else feel like taking a swing, it's fine by me. There's room.

Some starts, anyone? I'm about to head off for school, so won't be rolling for a while. Possible civs are Romans (yeah, I know, goz hates 'em, but ya gotta love the 3/3 legion), Chinese (great traits but possibly and long wait until the uu shows up), or perhaps another run with the Persians (why not?). I'm not ruling anybody else out, except maybe Spain.

 

[Ansar]

I'll post some starts after school. What civ are we?

 

[gozpel]

I'll post some starts after school. What civ are we?

This is the sort of Intelligence we're looking for...


Byz! I never played Byz on a hard level.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Posting from my laptop while I'm at school. (They think I'm taking notes. )

I never thought of using Byzantines for this one, but ya know, it's so crazy it just might work. I miss not having agri for fast growth, but a small map can be short on rivers anyway. The starting techs are good ... no, they're great starting techs. And dromons rule the waves!

Would 80% water be just too cheesy?

gozpel, ya talked me into it. Byz it is. Everyone invited to roll starts and we'll pick and choose.

 

[markh]

I can roll some starts after work in a few hours.

Byz sounds cool. This nice lady has some fire.

 

[classical_hero]

So far my "level" is Emporer, so it would be something of a challenge for me o play deity. So I would like to join. By the looks of this, this is a deity training mission. Considering most here need it.

 

[SimpleMonkey]

Consider yourself joined, c_h! Yep, I'm considering this as deity training the hard way.

Current roster is:

goz - will lead off once we get a start decided on
Andronicus - on deck
SimpleMonkey -
markh -
classical hero -

with room left for one or two more reckless monkeys.
