UNGY6 The health nuts

team game means the ais are teamed and we're 1 player, right?

 

[Rusten]

I'm up for another game. Not picky regarding variant, but I don't think we need the extra deity help.

yes that was the thought.
Don't know how the WFYABTA or attitudes work for AI teams tho.

 

[mystyfly]

I can't join another SG I'm already having lots of troubles with the other one with my army duty now. Afterwards, in 3 months I would be up

 

[Rusten]

The downside of the teamer variant is that nobody is going to know what's going on so it will be hard to discuss.

Personally I think no tech trading (for us, not the AI) with rival AIs sounds like fun. We could extend it to no resource trades as well to make it more difficult.

 

[Dirk1302]

I like this plan better than a team game and would join such a game.

On immortal? Letting the deity AI trade and not being able to take part without a strong leader sound rather hard.

err sounds a bit much to me on deity w/o inca at minimum.
if we play deity then I'd say it should be just win.

I'm happy with no tech trade--for me that would be hard enough on immortal--no resource trading seems a bit much

So how about a straw poll?

1. immortal no tech trade (with or without resource trading)

2. deity no variant (with or without rolling up a few starts and choosing the best after first set) btw when I said strong leader I was not thinking of inca--IMHO that's just a different game.

 

[Rusten]

Slight preference for the immortal game as I enjoy variants.

 

[Dirk1302]

1. no tech and no resource trade. We're already playing a deity SG so not so much point in starting another. Team is very strong imo so we should be able to do without trade on immortal.

Pick some peaceful leaders so they won't fight each other to be too backward
or some aggressive leaders so they will be pleased with each other and go for human player -- I prefer this.

 

[ungy]

OK so it looks like immortal with no tech and resource trading.
Should we make it a total ban, or should it be that we cannot recieve a tech or resource in trade?
Picking a bunch of warmongers is fine.

We've played the following leaders:
Vic, Peri, Monte, Just, Pacal, Peter.

So no indu, cha, pro, org.
What about one of the French--DeGaulle or Nappy?

Edit: Actually I don't think the org trait is that interesting so I'd prefer De Gaulle

 

[Rusten]

De Gaulle sounds good to me. Don't think I've used him before.

I like to keep things random, so in my opinion we shouldn't pick leaders. Won't mind all that much if the majority disagrees though. It might be easier, but these games aren't meant to be the hardest possible (as far as I know).

Edit: IMO make it so we can't receive any techs or resources. I think we should be allowed to give in to demands.

 

[SnowlyWhite]

no preference for leader or enemies; immortal no trade sounds ok to me.

 

[Dirk1302]

Gaulle's ok, random would be fine for me too.

 

[ungy]

OK so looks like we have a plan:

No tech or resources received in trade.

A little unclear about selling resources for $ or bribing the AI so please weigh in.

We'll play DeGaulle and there seems to be a slight preference for random other leaders.

Map--fractal?

roster:

Ungy
Rusten
Dirk
Duckweed
Snowlywhite
Ozyar

 

[Rusten]

Easiest way to restrict it is to not receive anything material in return (gold, techs, resources). Diplo points for requests would then be allowed. I think we should be able to give away techs and resources freely although I doubt we'll have that many techs to give.

Fractal is my preference.

 

[Dirk1302]

Agree, you should never be penalized for generosity. Fractal is the most random setting so it gets my vote too.

 

[shyuhe]

Will lurk, sounds like a great idea for a variant.

 

[ungy]

game is afoot
