Variant Rules: AW

Edit: Added the varient and delete the mod thing. If i broke a ruel doing that sorry i will put it back. It jsut seemed odd to be in red letters there.
 
sorry botu that. I was just reeeeeeealy mad. Read them. Wont happen again.
 
Conquest, Domination, Space, Diplo, Culture, what does that leave?
Histographic?
No. Freakin'. Way. Try making a game winnable BEFORE 2050. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure it'll just be you.
 
Nooo there are 3 ways to win and all are doable well before 1500AD let alone 2050. Conquest is on, Diplo is on, Domination is on, cultre i thought about and turned it on, but space is off. SO JUST space is off. Reson is is how does me going to space make my civ better than egypt or gernamy? If you dont want to join PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont rag on me. Many people like to play many different ways.
 
Sorry, didn't mean to be so evil sounding. just that
Conquest, Domination, Diplo, Space and culteral are off
confused me. It sounded like all of them were off. If you can get another person or two to join, I'm in, as an apology :mischief:
 
Excellent! That's three.
I will now have a LordMongoose (tm) moment of stating my opinion in a very arrogant way:
I vote that we try the "Peaceful Domination" variant. No, seriously, let me fi-
Door slammed in face-
nish. OK, I'll talk to the door.
Door, the Peaceful Domination variant, originally concocted for the RBCiv game PAssive Aggression. Just so the group can vote on it, i'll post them here
Variant Rules: No attacking cities -- at all -- not with units, not bombardment, not bombing, nothing. Military actions are to be taken against military units (including workers and settlers) and land improvements only. Civilian casualties are not acceptable. Even attacking a city that was once yours to recapture it is strictly forbidden.

Cities may be accepted as tribute during peace talks and cities may legally be founded in enemy territory (during war, of course, check up on the Cultural Push exploit for details and explanations of why being at war is required).

Whaddya guys think?
 
Sounds kinda interesting:)
I've never played like this before (always domination) so I'm not against it. Let's see what Widdowmaker thinks of it shall we?
 
Sounds fun! so we got

Ok with us 3, i vote for that varient. This is warlrod howver and i just moved up so bear with me. But it seems easy enough. Now for a civ vote! Who do we want to be. Militeristc is worthless. We wont be swaping govs too much. So there goes religious.we will however want LOTS of citys because we cant capture:( ( i am a warmonger but this sounds fun.)

Commercial might help buidling a HUUUUGE empire. And Scientific is nice but what do we REEALLY need. I am thinking greece america or ottomans. Feel free to toss another one out there. Industrois would be nice seeing as we coudl road to all our citys quicly and lay rails quicker.And Expansonist would help us find good early city locations. I am really thinging america but their UU comes late so we would have to shoot for the wonder golden age gamble (and i hear i got better chance of winning the lottery.)

Also what size map??? I WAS thinkg huge conquest but with domination it might be better to do large. Again opinons? This is a pretty open game.

So we are at
Civ = ??? (America, Ottomans, Greece. You guys toss more options out.)
Varient = See above.
Map size = ??? (large)
Barbs = ??? (roaming)


Opion's? Even if you arent playing the are apperciated.
 
I would recommend a Small or Tiny map, for ease of Peaceful Domination. But if we want a hard game, let's do normal. Huge and large are suicidal, considering that widdow and I are fairly new to Warlord.

As for civ, since we are only able to culture-flip our enemies, I say Babylonians. Their culture buildings come the cheapest (half on BOTH sci and religious) and they have a fairly good UU.

Roaming barbs is fine by me.

Thoughts?
 
Ohhhhhh. Ya. Small works well enough. I sudenly want to change the varient. I think i misunderstood the concept. Any OTHER varients? DOmination is ok but can we do ti diferent varient?
 
Hmmm. There's always OCC, but that's boring to have a SG with. Always War on Chieftain is a possibility (Chieftain because Always War is hard), but we could always make our own variant. For ideas, http://realmsbeyond.net/civ/egamelist.html is the list of games done by the RBCiv people. They're big on variants.
 
I suck at making up varients and before i invest tiem into a game i want it to be fun.
 
also please forgive any splling errors. This keyboard got is GUI (gooey) from pop.
 
K. Hmmm. I still think Peaceful Domination will be fun. Explorers pillaging all over the place, oh yeah. The Espionage Agency will actually do something ^_^. Civ, what do you think?
 
Anyalternate ideas? if none then domination it is. But i prefer the domination with a diff varient. It can be peacefull. But diff varient.
 
Here are my top picks:

-Peaceful Domination, as shown above
-Chieftain Always War with either Germans or Greeks (Cheiftain because AW is HARD!!!)
-Umm, I can't think of a third ;)

Since I've done AW B4 on chieftain, if we decide that, can I start?
 
Cheiftain AW sounds fun on. GO ahead. Set it up to your liking and the slots are closed when you start.
