WOTM 12 Pre-Game discussion....

[budweiser]

Not so fast. Last time I played Toku, I founded 2 religions. That's a decent start on culture. There's a synergy in there somewhere between japan and culture. It probably has to do with the fact that you start with fishing and the wheel which help on researching pottery and CS is a priority. You can naturally pick up CoL and burn a GS on philosophy. But, that was a monarch game.

I think I´ll move the warrior 1S

If 2W of settler is a hill, then warrior 1 S won't show you zilch (except that hill). Maybe 1 SW instead. Are you planning to explore your continent to the N, W or to the S first?

Understood, LC. The game specs are up now. Hope someone puts up a test game before ainwood makes the Save available.

 

[Sarek]

First shot at doing this, but I do find them useful.
Pretty sure all the revealed tiles match?
Have a go!

 

[Cactus Pete]

Thank you, Sarek.

So, with the update to Warlords, will there be a Mac version of WOTM 12?

5 rivals? What's the catch?

 

[HolyHandGrenade]

Lol. Well, My Vannila disc cracked and is no longer work and It will be in about September-October befor I get BTS. So, Wotm is my only option for a time been.

BTW, anyone know is it posible to get replacement disk and how?

I don't believe you can get a replacement disk - but if you wait a little bit you can buy it as a budget price. But don't forget - you always have the possibility to save your original by simply creating an image or by praying towards the game copy world

5 rivals? What's the catch?

Well, that means that the mean AI have more room to grow, get bigger and meaner and harder to beat. I t also means that we will likely start farther from the nearest, and that will make it harder to make a quick kill.

 

[budweiser]

It's a cold start so there is also less useable land for the 5 to fight over.

 

[Mutineer]

Less rivals mean less then usual trade oportunities. Cold climate mean less of usable land. Still, civ distribution is not effected by climate, so we probably have advantage because we are in good climate.

Just downloading now...

Japan has always been tough for me... add that to the Emperor class and this will be a bugger.

Any advice before my first move is appreciated!

Cheers...

Kinda short period for submissions...

The download page at http://gotm.civfanatics.net/civ4games/index.php?month=60012 says games must be submitted by 15 August 2007. I hope this game will last more than ONE day...

 

[vixafox]

I can live with the short submission period. At Emporer level I shall lose the game very quickly anyway.

Just out of interest...Has anyone tried these settings in a BTS game? - I'm interested to know if the new game plays faster than Warlords?

 

[g_storrow]

other suggestion : work water tiles
other suggestion 2 : don't plant that 4th city.

Yes, I tend to build a lot of cottages when I play as japan. Pottery should be a fairly early priority.

or go for writing early and use an SE so that the slider doens't matter as much
