Space-3 discussion thread

How about random everything? Including playable civ.

Roll half a dozen starts and discuss them?

Standard world size.

It would feel like winning then.

Islands seem to be kind of a standard for Sid tries. It's easier to grow and it gives you a defendable position and hopefully a slower tech pace, the downside is the need for extensive logistics to make any kind of impression on the world. If we decide on islands we'll need seafaring to get to meet the neighbours before they are in the MA (Modern Age, in this case!).

I was edging towards continents, if people are willing. I guess that'll make the start tougher, but the middle game easier.

edit: I like that idea, MB. All or nothing!

 

[Karasu]

I like it too

Any victory counts, right .

OK, random it is then. I'll roll some starts later today.

Ahh, it feels good to be back!

Yes it does! Look, I took this out of an old drawer for the occasion

Right! And I will not use my usual whine about hounorable tactics in this particular game either. BTW Meteor, you didn't say, but do you wanna play too?

I'm already in an SG with MP - a nice lowly Emperor game. It's a bit of a romp.

we should make him play.

I just quit a SG because they take too long

I'm finishing the 2 I started though.

I thought you guys were going for space?

 

[Renata]

Good luck, Space and Company. I wish I could join, but I just can't take on a game as demanding as this right now. Have fun storming the castle!

Edit: Whoops, looks like it's full already, anyway! I need to get with the program.

[Karasu]

What if we started a Chieftain game after this one...

Oh, and, Meteor... that was a signup, right?

 

[mad-bax]

We still have a 5CC 100K to do. Probably best not to do that on a large C3C map though.

Thanks. I would've made room for you, Renata, we can use another good player to compensate for my turns. Chances are that we need several tries, so feel free to jump in later.

Shall I put you on the roster then, Meteor?

 

[MeteorPunch]

I'll be lurking...like I am right now . good luck!

 

[a space oddity]

Pity, Meteor. This means there's a spot open, seven is a good number for this team.

Here are come the starts: all standard size, all else random even barbs... AI on "least aggressive".

 

[a space oddity]

The first start I rolled has Greece, a good civ for Sid, usefull UU. And this is the only one with food bonii, on flood plains though.

 

[a space oddity]

The next roll showed a start very like the one for Space-2. No river, no food bonus. The only thins going for it is the defendable landscape.

 

[Karasu]

There comes the first rolls!

They look interesting, but... What will destiny show us next?

 

[a space oddity]

Gotta love that RNG. :shakehead:
There's a river in this one and what seems to be coast too, not bad.
