SMURF-1 Low level Always War

[Smurf]

Hi all!
I have participated in a few sgs, and I want to start one. AW has always intruiged me, so AW it is. Difficulty will be warlord or regent, remember that AW kicks it up 1-2 levels (AW gods, whats your opinion?) so we'd play anywhere from (percieved) regent to emporer
as far as civs... we want militaristic for obvious reasons, though that is not neccesary. Early UU would be nice, to help us survive and establish our civ.
So, I'm thinking
Persia (4 attack in the ancient age, who doesn't love that)
Ottoman(same cool traits, and SIPAHI)
China(Riders are nice, mil + ind)
Rome(Legions are hella nice, not sure about commercial tho)
Aztecs(Mil, but a wasted UU and religios saving us one revolt.)
4-5 slots
Slot1: Me
Slot2: Amrisan
slot3: Col
slot4: open
slot5pen

TO BE PLAYED ON 1.21f CIVILIZATION 3: Play The World

How about trying Japan/Regent? Japan is the same as Azteca, except they have a UU that comes a little later.

Btw Smurf, we're still waiting for you to 'sign in' to Ender's Game - Team 2!

If you could run in V Civ3, I'd be willing... You could even code in the Ottomans.

If its not PTW then I can play.

As for Civ it might be useful to be the Greeks for their strong early defender and the commercial/scientific traits would be useful as we are going to do nearly all our own research

Also it might be nice to have 1 fewer other civs than is usual on a map.

what version is it?

 

[Darkness]

What version?
If it's vanilla civ3 (patch1.29) or PTW1.14, then I'm in (if you'll have me, off course )
If you're running PTW1.21, I can't play because that patch still isn't out in Europe...

 

[amirsan]

I'd join but im not that crazy about the Always war idea but ima follow this one.

 

[Sgt.Hellfish]

same as darkness

 

[amirsan]

u know what, ill give this a try! Ill join, if you are willing to accept that is.

 

[Smurf]

erm I am currently running V1.21 PTW, and cannot run vanilla civ unless i can easily turn it off within ptw. Additionally, I like the new additions. Erik, there are ways ^_^ of "procuring" PTW.

Others that are not filtered out by the 1.21 (sorry, europeans)
monarch or regent?

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I am planning on getting PTW, but in the meantime I am coding the features at home.
Even so, I live in Europe...

 

[amirsan]

I'll play on any level under Diety. I'm struggling on Emperor though.

 

[col]

I like AW. China sounds nice. Good UU. Industrious always helps. We are not going to be changing governments from Monarchy Mil should get us lots of leaders.

I'm in if there's space.

 

[Smurf]

Col is IN assuming u have 1.21f. I'm thinking regent/China. Leaders, quick fortresses. No wasted religious trait (culture shumulture beyond happyness)

 

[amirsan]

We could start playing soon sinse we have at least three people to play... just wondering.

 

[Smurf]

Sure, how's china/regent sound?

 

[Smurf]

BTW: as far as the map goes, I'm going to make it custom from the editor. We will, therefor, have resources withtin reach and the res for riders. Essentially, I am going to take the map and put in some chokepoints where we can just make a city with walls, 9999 billion defenders and 99998 zillion artilery. To that end, I cannot play the first turns as that gives me a major advantage. I am setting up the game now. Map settings are standard size/cool/20%land/no barbs/pangea.
As far as strategy, ideally cities within 3 squares of eachother for defender transfers.
Order = Amrisan, Col, Me(to minimize the effect my foreknowlage of the map has.
Note that all that i did to the map was a mountain range and deletion of an oppsosing start.

 

[Smurf]

Theeeeres starty!
