Statue of Zeus

[fe3333au]

In lieu of the discussion that may be generated ... I think having a 'posting' poll as opposed to a 'voting' poll is better suited.

Options

1. I vote NO don't want it in the game.

2. I vote YES keep it as is, Ivory required, 200 shields, ancient cavalry produced.

3. I vote Modify the effects and costs.

4. Abstain

If you want to modify the Statue of Zeus please indicate what you propose and we can discuss.

Possible modifications include
> No Ivory Required
> Change the Shield Cost
> Produce Horsemen Instead of Ancient Cavalry

----------------------------

So Far we have ... 6 of 9 voted

1. No = 1.5 (AutomatedTeller, Peter Grimes)
2. KEEP as is = 0
3. Modification = 4.5 (fe3333au, Niklas, zyxy, AutomatedTeller, General_W)
4. Abstain = 1 (Paul#42)

Modification is as follows
> No Ivory pre-requisite
> Increase Shield value 300+

 

[fe3333au]

At this stage I am leaning towards option 3. modification.

Certainly remove the Ivory pre-requisite.

 

[Niklas]

I think that the modifications of last game was very good. Thus my vote is to retain it, but remove the Ivory prerequisite and up the shield cost to 300.

 

[zyxy]

Is that what we had last game? I don't think anyone built it...

Either this, or ask Rik to use his imagination to create a balanced map with the default settings.

 

[peter grimes]

TNT was going for it, but then something happened, so they defaulted to the Mausoleum.

 

[Paul#42]

I never build it except for 20k-games...

But from the effort that's made here I conclude that it does have some meaning in PBEM. I trust you guys to do the right decision and abstain.

At least as long as no detailed discussion comes up that makes me get an opinion on this issue...

 

[AutomatedTeller]

Out of the game or much more expensive. Frankly, even at 300 shields it may be too cheap. for the cost of 10 30 shields 2.1.2 horsemen, we can get free 3.2.2 AC, with an extra hit point. The only problem with them is they can't be upgraded. Basically, Ancient Cavs can dominate an AA battlefield.

 

[fe3333au]

At this stage we have the following ...

<Moved and updated in post 1>


@zyxy ... I have not included your alternative modification which would be 0.5 to 2 and 3 because if everyone gets Ivory then it is one less Lux to get a monopoly in ... if you want me to alter it to show your split support, let me know.

 

[peter grimes]

Sorry for neglecting to post my opinion: NO

I really don't have a good reason for it... I guess I just hate Zeus

 

[General_W]

I'll vote to keep it, remove ivory req, and up the cost to 300 - or whatever!
~ same as first MTDG.

 

[Aigburth]

Somehow missed this poll - I vote for modified soz, no ivory and 300 shields.

EDIT: Please ignore, I see we have already voted in the UN.

 

[fe3333au]

Just incase it does go to a poll.

Should Statue of Zeus require Horse resource???

I like the idea as it makes sense to me ... and I'm sure that Horses will be redily available to ALL teams.

I vote = YES

----

Tally ... 1 of 10 has voted.

YES - 1
NO -
Abstain -

 

[peter grimes]

I say keep the Statue at the same parameters as last game (civ3 MTDG)

 

[Niklas]

No tenchar

 

[Paul#42]

Yes terday I thought horses would be fine with me.

@Niklas: Update your signature - "team B" was yesterday

 

[tomasjj]

Horses? I see the logic as it produces horsemen/ancient cavs, but
tt's a statue you build of ivory.

No to horses, yes to ivory.

 

[Niklas]

@paul#42: done, thanks.

 

[zyxy]

If we will all have horses, then what's the point? Force us to research the wheel?

If we won't then it's the same as with ivory...

IIRC last game nobody built it.
I'll vote no.
(And update my sig too)

 

[fe3333au]

Looks like sanity prevailed and it will not be a necessary
