Simultaneous Civ2 Game!

[xBRIANx]

Anyone out there want to start a 4 or 6 player allied simultaneous game? What I mean by "allied" is that there will be teams of two vs. the other team(s). I've never tried this before but thought it'd be neat. We could play 1x1x or 2x2x, any level, any map size, etc. Just thout the idea of pairs of civs vs. each others could work. ICQ me at 3505958 if you'd like to get a game going (I'll even play just a regular MP Civ2 game if the allied game doesn't appeal to you). Let's just try to finish a game over a period of a few days; I've got so many games going that are on "hold" and I'd like to finish just one! Thanks, -Brian.

Hey brian sorry about early tonight, my power went off

Well i got to play alittle bit of the simultaneous game and well i don't think it's simultaneous movements at all, there are still turns, it's just a very fast turn-based game.
Heh, all this hype about people thinking it would actually have the humans moving at the same time. Well ti doesn't work like that

Don't play micromanagers, and then everyone would move at the same time. There is nothing worse then 6 people moving in 10 seconds, and some micromanager taking a minute and a half per turn. (anyone else notice that micromanagers are amoung the weakest players?)

Sun Tzu, you mis-speak.
The turns are simultaneous.
I've seen every indication that is so.
Wonders created by other CIvs during "my" turn, seeing other Civs movement, during "my" turn.
It is true that all players must end their turn before next cycle, but movements are still simultaneous.

Hmmm, I am confused Sun. I was in the game with you and it sure seemed like simultaneous to me. Everyone got to move without having to wait for each other. The turns were alot faster than if everyone was taking a turn. And as to micromanagers, set a time limit. I believe they still work in Simu games.
So who's up for a diplo game? I wanna try one.<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Text</FONT f>

Hey xBrianx, how about the game you mentioned with diplo rules? I'd like to get in on that. Plus, if we did this, we would have to make up a time to meet every day of the week, or week end, or once a week, what ever is possible.
Count me in, even if you don't want to make this a diplo game, but we MUST finish!

I agree PaleHorse - I would like to finish this game if we start. I'm always up for continuing a game - but like you said, the problem is finding a time when we can all finish the game. It'd be cool if in our profiles we could list the times we could play and be able to modify it on the fly when our weekly schedule changes.

I'm available from 5pm-9pm each weekday except tuesday. I'm only available from 5pm-6pm on tuesdays, and I'm available from 8am-11pm. The weekdays MIGHT change to 3pm-9pm and 3pm-6pm(tuesday), but no promises. How long do you think the game will last and how many people are in so far?<FONT COLOR="Green">Text</FONT c><FONT face="Book Antiqua">Text</FONT f>
