DG7 Planning Update
by: greekguy
There's been lots of discussion, polling, and senseless bickering over the past few weeks. Even though it was tough, we actually have made some important decisions for the next DemoGame. Here's a sumarry of what we've decided on:
The Map Settings
Roaming Barbarians
Conquests Version of Civilizaton (C3C)
Continents
Standard map size
70% water percentage
5 billion year old world (more grass/plains, less hills/mts.)
Temperate Climate
We are still trying to figure out what Weather we'll have. The poll for it is currently tied at 7-Wet, 7-Normal, and 1 lone vote for dry.
We are also in the process of deciding what Civilization to play. Though there has been much support for Greece (subliminal message...vote Greece...vote Greece), we are a Democracy, and we will decide the civilization through polling. If you want to participate vote in this poll
here (remember vote SCI/COM for Greece).
So far the most controversial decision we've had was what type of game we would play. Many veterans of the DemoGame were bored of playing a regular Epic game and pushed for a 5CC (5 city challenge) variant. In this game we would only be allowed to build and control 5 cities at any given time. However, there were people who opposed this, and wanted to stick with the traditional Epic game. This led to heated debate and several polls. After some time a compromise was finally set up and, for the most part, accepted. It was decided we will play a 5BCC (5 built city challenge) for the next DemoGame. In this variant we are still only allowed to built 5 cities the entire game. However, we are allowed to capture enemy cities, as many as designated by a poll still currently open. If you haven't voted in it, please vote
