First Challenge?

Capt Dizle · October 23, 2001, 20:12

Who is going to start the first challenge?

Start a game, share the starting position, and let us all race to see who will be able to win in the fewest turns?

Korn? Are you going to do the honors?

I think people are going to want to get aquainted with the game first.

As of yet no one (except a few special people) even has the game.

Capt Dizle · October 23, 2001, 20:21

Well it might be interesting to "share" our first game experience from a common starting position.

Comedy of errors sort of thing.

Playing challenges in SMAC and Civ2 was more fun than simple AI bashing. Almost, kinda, sorta like multiplay.

Lorizael · October 23, 2001, 20:22

I'm not sure people want to be under any pressure on their first game, but it would be funny, lol.

I'd love to try it later on.

Capt Dizle · October 23, 2001, 20:29

Nah, lets do it. Folks, sign up here for the "first game challenge".

Lorizael · October 23, 2001, 20:32

So are you saying, we would start on the exact same map, as the exact same civ, everything the same?

Then see who wins first (if at all)?

Capt Dizle · October 23, 2001, 20:41

Exactly. Some call it a comparison game. Post your results here.

1215 BC Built a temple.
1210 BC Cleopatra destroyed my city. Argh.
1205 BC She did it again! Argh the *****!

That sort of thing.

Lorizael · October 23, 2001, 20:49

Sounds cool, I'll join in!

I think it's gonna be....

4000 bc Founded Babylon
3950 bc Babylon taken by Egyptians agh!

But we'll see

Count me in. It'll be good to be able to measure my abilities against others here.

SteveJH · October 23, 2001, 21:23

Sounds good to me.. Only question is as what civ and at what difficultly level?

Lorizael · October 23, 2001, 21:28

Also, what size planet and... all 16 civs?

Capt Dizle · October 23, 2001, 21:31

Oh, lets just let the first person to get the game and put up a file decide all of that. I don't really care.

hmm, i'll be participating in comparison games (those are great for finding out what works and what doesn't and why) but not at first.

i want to enjoy the game in my own way for a few games at first before i start doing things like that.

Ask again in December.

OK, here's what I'll do. I am going to start my first game on the 180 world map and play as the Germans on the Prince level. All 16 civs are invited to take part. Should be interesting with the French, Romans and Russians on my flanks and the English across the channel. I do not expect to survive to the end, but I'll try. I will note down what happened, however few, or many, turns and post it.

That's it really.

Oh, and I am going to do the tutorial first...

Blunderdog · October 24, 2001, 02:57

Oh, my life is forfeit anyway, so I'm game. I need to play a couple dozen games first though!
