succession game

Rasputin · June 23, 2001, 02:01

jsut trying a new format of game palying, it is called succesion play, where players take turns to paly the same civ, after a set amount of turns the game is emailed to the next palyer and so on and so on , lots of posting for the role playing type players...

Found this concept on the Civ 2 section of forums pretty cool

And, War4, this is a good spot to look for interested players

i guess different strokes for different folks but that concept needs some help to say the least

well war4 thnakyou for your resounding approval of my seeking any interested parties.. I for one know many MP people dont venture beyond the security walls of the MP section very often so they may not know of the concept. I didnt until recently. As it still involves multiple humans (just not agaisnt each other) I feel it fits in nicely for a little advertisment in MP.

I know it doesnt suit all, I dotn expect it to, but I also know lot sof peopel liek the Role palying side of civ and this succession game gives you that ability....

What I liked about it was taking some one elses civ in a new direction and knowing tha tafter 20 turns, some one else would change it again, the particualr game i am now playing in, the civ is very small hasnt expanded nor researched tech properly, but its still fun....

you know ras you may be right i could have been hasty eariler when i gave it the thumbs down its different concept and i would like to be an all around civ player so if you have room i would like to try it not much different than a tribe game except everyone is controlling the same civ at least thats how i see it .

I've played a few of these and it is good fun.
Every game of civ you play doesn't have to be MP.You have a 1/2 hour>hour to kill and why not fill it with this?You play in 10-20 turn "reigns" and try to do as much as you can...or as little to hurt things.

Reading the history of each reign is the best part.The funnier the better.

Its a little more interesting then just "running thru the steps"

Too many cooks spoil the soup...and that is usually what happens.Its up to you to fix it all in 15 turns

I found and read the thread, it sounds interesting so I put my name down for a game, if I then find I don't like it I will say so but I think I will.
