VQ Series Discussion thread

OK, I have been pretty busy as of late (been battoning down the hatches this week in prep for another Minnesota winter!)

My PC problems have been resolved (I've been running seady for a week now) so I should have time means to start up now.

I'd prefer Warlords (I like the variety of options we would have there) but I understand if others don't have the ability to play Warlords.

Just to clarify, you mentioned we would take any techs offered for free, does that mean we are willing to take any trades the AI offers? Or do they have to be giveaways?
 
They have to be giveaways. We won't even pay a shiny nickel for a tech.

If all the others want to go warlords, we can do that. Added ya regardless
 
I think not being able to trade is really tough, especially for an Internet beeline. Is that possible? (looks at techs on the way)

Click to expand...

You can trade, just NOT for any tech that isn't a pre-requisite of Fiber-Optics.

How do we deal with multiple paths (ie Satellites or Plastics as a pre-requisite of Fiber Optics, Guilds or Education for Gunpowder)? Just take the path as clicked at start-up or can we decide which path we want to take?

Warlords is fine with me as I've now got a copy.
 
I've always done it via the "click it and research only what's highlighted" method.

Do any of the signed up players *not* have warlords?

Dear friends of the VQ series...

If you consider this idea as stupid, crappy or sth alike please feel free to say so. :p

I'm just keen to know who of us is able to play the Warlords Expansion. So if you'd PM me I'll set up the roster in this post and we could always check here. Since I don't know all the players that have been playing in the VQ series this far I'll leave the roster open and will add your nick and status asap after I've received your PM. As for the players who've posted recently in this thread that they are or ain't Warlords ... I've added them already. ;)

If a nick is bolded it means the player has Warlords. If it is italic he/she hasn't (?proper english here? :help:).

the list

bobrath
dot
GreyFox
Maquis
namliaM
Ozbenno
Robo Kai
Scowler

Kind regards from Germany, .
 
Hey guys the next SGOTM03 is beginning on Dec. 1/06. Are we forming teams again this time around or should we go look for some good players.

(just bugging ya)

PS: NamliaM I would love to play with you on a team again. I would elaborate why but can't until SGOTM02 is finished. I like Black because I can paint a door black and sing that song from the stones. Can't paint a door red as it doesn't match my cape.

It seems the VQ have kept going in VQ09 but where is everybody else. I see Chris from time to time lurking and I remember Greyfox mentioning many other players from the past I don't know. Well it's early in the month still but would like to try again. (definitely a builders game this one)
 
For what's it worth Greyfox I don't think the VQ Black team will reunite either. I just wanted to see if anybody was interested. Why don't we see first how many people want to play on VQ and see from there. I think you are a valuable player and would like to see you in it again. Actually I kind of missed your motivational speeches/negotiating and other fine skills.

I'm not sure about Pigswill or Luvtobuild if they will be back to this team. I'm sure Bobrath/Namliam are gungho.

PS: Surprised to hear that VQ Red is down to one person. What happened to everybody? Only you would stick it out to the end as usual.
 
Cosmic, it's been a strange game. The only SG that has given me no enjoyment, and one that I've even occasionally disliked. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but something about it just felt "off". I never abandoned a game until now, but computer problems prevented me from playing a couple of my turnsets, and now they are sorted out I just find it very difficult to care about the rest of the game. I find that pretty shocking, considering that I value teamwork and being there for other players. All I can do is apologise to GreyFox for that - the only person who has stood by this game and given it everything in his power.
 
I don't know, Cosmic. I have frankly lost interest in SGOTM, but this one sure sounds interesting. At least not the usual conquer the whole world deja vu again. With 17 civs cramed into a standard map, I doubt it will be a builder's game. At least not initially. Knowing the mods, there is probably going to be only 1 source of Aluminium furthest away form the human's starting point.

I hear ya Scowler/Greyfox had similiar sentiments regarding the SGOTM and for me was a first. 17 civs is quite a bit on a standard map so you are right there is got to be war of course. What civ games isn't without war except our VQ08 which only had very little of it. Might be interesting though playing Russians on warlords with their UB although kind of late in the game. Probably way too late for SGOTM. Anyways I am going to play as I want to play again just to see if the spirit of VQ in SGOTM01 would be brought alive. I lurked that game and to be honest I sometimes think I enjoyed lurking more than playing. So if either of you reconsider it would be great as I don't think we will have near as many players as last time.
 
I'm with you guys on SGOTM2. It certainly wasn't fun (and we may not even finish). It basically was just one major war after the other. There was no time for subtle or different tactics like SGOTM1 (where we got a diplo win after PAing with Roosevelt), just battle after battle. Certainly SGOTM3 looks more interesting. 17 civs on standard map with agressive AI. Will be a mix of building, attacking and defending I think.
 
Won't be joining VQ this time round -looking to join The Trash Team (players from save the trash game series)
 
Good choice Pigswill CamH and team are a good bunch. I am beginning to feel that VQ is a dead horse now and not much interest in doing another SGOTM. Perhaps we should start another team as there are several interested in doing but not enough for a complete team. I am thinking of getting a team under the HN series banner and Scowler/Greyfox are quite welcome to join in. I am playing in RK series and see what interest is there as well. We could even go under the RK banner as I enjoy playing with Robo if he's interested. We probably could form a team that will stay until the end as I sense that is Greyfox's main complaint and if there was a team that will get thru the game whether winning or losing he might join.
