SM4 - The Great War

[Smart]

After long time of being away from Civ3 I decided to start my own SG, which will be played on Deity lever and on Huge map with 16 civs on it, for more fun.
I want to try this warmongering variant - we must eliminate all civs one by one, not like in Always War game, but in order how we met them, or according to 'Shift-D' list. In other words, it's AW with only one civ at the same time - when we will meet first civ, we must fight with them until their (or our ) death. Then declare on second, then third, and so on until all 15 civs will be razed to the ground

Always war rules against current opponents are applied, standart SG rules about exploits, reputation, and other things - are applied too, I think it's not needed to post them here.

I'm thinking about 6 players in a roster and 24/48 playing rules, but if somebody will need an extension or skip, it's ok. On huge map turnsets might be too long, so it will be better if firstly everybody will play their first turnset with 20 turns, and then we will change this number to 10.

Now you all can sign up and discuss everything

Smart, just an FYI, this is an already existing variant called "Non-Oscillating War" (or NOW).

Non-Oscillating War (NOW): The first civ met must have war declared on them during initial diplomacy. Each later civ met gets added, in order, to a list. When the first AI civ on the list is eliminated, war must be declared on the second. As each is eliminated, the next must be declared on before the end of the turn. Other wars are allowed, and alliances are encouraged. Sandbagging or not finishing off a defeated foe simply to not go to war with the next one on the list is illegal. When two or more civs are met simultaneously (via contact sale, perhaps), it is player’s choice which order to declare on them.

Is this Vanilla, PTW, or C3C?

 

[Smart]

Thanks for that quote, I remember that I saw this variant somewhere, but forgot how it was called
It's C3C.

Smart !!

I took it as a new year's resolution not to join SG's, for various personnal reasons, but if I had to break my vow it would have been here

lurker's comment: Monarchy, deity, huge ... this is going to be a rough tech ride. But it can't be worse than DG AW large Looking forward to see how this one unfolds. Best of luck, what little you'll need

 

[Smart]

I'm glad to see you here, even in the Lurker Hotel
I hope other civs will help us, don't forget that we still can trade and make alliances I'm not sure about goverment, but maybe later in game we will be able to change it from Monarchy to something better - IIRC game counts war weariness for every civ separately, so if one will get destroyed, all WW points will be lost. But this works only if we be able to make wars without much loss and conquer civs faster then everybody will become unhappy...

 

[ThERat]

sounds very interesting...sign me up...

 

[Smart]

Thanks for first entry, you're added.
If somebody is afraid of difficulty level and wars, don't worry, with team real difficulty of the game will be around one level less, so Emperor and DG players are wellcome too

I've always wanted a Diety lever. It should help with my prayer life.

I've not played C3C at Diety, but have at Emperor (SGOTM and TDGs). I'd love to join and learn and destroy AIs.

What map setting? On Pangea it would be easier to have the AI's dogpile on the current foe-of-the-moment, while Continents would allow a slight breathing spell after cleansing the starting landmass.

I'd like to sign up if you still have spots available.

You are wellcome, I started to think that nobody likes Deity level and this game will not be filled fast
On continents it's really boring to transport tons of units to other landmass later in game and at the same time micromanage all cities on Huge map, so it will be played on pangea.

I'd like to sign up if you still have spots available.

I'll add you, but can you tell us something about yourself? What difficulty level are you usually playing?

Since we got some signups, I want to discuss our civilization choise. Celts are nice for early wars and growth - their agriculrural trait will allow us to make 4-turner settler factory in towns with food bonuce, UU stats are not bad, with fast movement they can be used even in Middle Ages, pillaging armies are good too. Other variants are civs with MA unique unit as Knight or Cavalry replacement - Ottomans,India, China, mb some others... But on Huge map with increased research time and on Deity level we may fall behind in techs, so I'm not sure if those civs will be able to use all their power

 

[TimBentley]

I'll join.

 

[Aabraxan]

lurker's comment: Reserving my spot in the lurkers' gallery. Good luck, team!

 

[Cyllus]

I'll take that last spot, would space me out from Cammandobob perfectly as he's only an Emporer goon like myself atm.

 

[Smart]

Ok, sign up is closed now, good luck to all who have joined!

 

[CommandoBob]

I'd like to sign up if you still have spots available.

Welcome to the forum.



I see you've been lurking around for a while before taking the plunge with your first post. Don't feel bad, I did the same thing. (Except that I tried to make a big splash with my first post, a strategy article on a city naming convention. Instead, I only made a small ripple. )

My bad, I didn't knew that, haven't looked at join date
Wellcome to CFC and this game

Does somebody have any suggestions? If no, I will roll few starts tomorrow.

Don't know enough about this level to make suggestions, so I'll just follow the lead of others.
