Europe time Diplogame?
Anyone interested in a new weekdays diplogame on European time?
For settings I propose 2x1x Deity, raging.
But I'll play anything nowadays

What is a diplogame 1x1x looks pretty normal, and since i'm new in this, it looks ok.

A diplogame is one where you diplomatically refrain from attacking the 2nd person to post in the thread that sets up the game.

still not completely clear to me. Does this mean the 2nd person is immune for attacks? And who is second: you or me? I guess just playing one would get me to know what it is all about?

YES we are going to do that if not the US Sat game is going to be played on a more resonable time.

The game should be 1x1x to be a normal Civ 2 game.

I suggest a Development game instead of a diplo game.
It means you are not allowed to attack any units/cities or use diplos/spies for anything else than etablish embassies. Pillaging is also banned. It's allowed to build move unit inside other players cityradius but you are not allowed to assist them to goto this places by using diplos or caravans.
The winner is the first player reaching future tech 1 alternate reaching Alpa Centauri.

ENJOY!

The rules for development games says it's forbidden to steal techs,
but tech trading can be allowed or banned. The same applies to if offical alliances are allowed(those alliances have only trading as goal -> tech exchange(if allowed), and by using caravans).

Whats a game without even the possibility of war? IMHO even the threat of war makes half the game

I agree, this development game sounds a little dull. I may have misunderstood the rules, but this seems no better than playing an early landing game against the AI.

Sorry, development only doesn't sound verry appealing.
BTW: is there no way to (greatly) increase the cost of bribing sities instead of totally eliminating this feature?

The challenge is to develop well
The player that is best on max his research speed will win. It's not so easy as it sounds.

war is destructive and therefore banned in development games. The game is not like playing the AI -> you have all negotations with other players(humans players only). You can have trade allainces and so on.
Try it, it's fun!

I was not turning it down because it looked too easy
War is a pain in the ass, as a have learned well with the hostile AI's. But leaving the option out meanes also leaving some difficult choices to make out. I won't have to built an army I think it takes out some challenges of the game. There are different possibilities to avoid wars This is why I would prefer the diplogame.

Well said. War, and paradoxically the avoidance of war are both integral to civ.

So, who do we got sofar?

Anyone got a preference on the map? should we play random or premade?
1x1x Deity sounds fine to me, I would like to allow techstealing/trading and unitbribe.

OK I join the diplogame.
Let's have the following settings:

1x1x
Deity
small map
large land mass
cool
wet
3 billion years
village only(no barbs except in the huts)
No bribing at all(unit bribe can be very sick, because the bribed unit can move twice in a round).
Techtrade OK but no techstealing.
No wonders.

Excellent response! The game will probably be played European evenings though, which will be strange times for Canadians and Aussies.

We could and should start soon:
We got 7 players
atawa
DrSpike
Germanos
Winzity
Species
Markus
Deity

a bit crowded on a small map? So I propose a medium map when we all join. I don't see why we should leave out the wonders, but if there is serious opposition to them I'll do without.
Starting Saturday evening 20:00 CEST?

Whoa there!

We need to sort settings/rules and times/days. Settings/rules I don't care about other than 1x1x, so I'll leave whoever does care to discuss it. We do need times everyone can play though, and confirmations from the non-europeans. It'll never be sorted by tomorrow evening. Also, I can't do Saturdays.

I propose same time as Germanos any evening Sunday to Thursday. Let the game of duelling datebooks begin!

I am asked to start an euro diplo game tomorrow, please confirm your start in it:
I will start if I got at least 4 players. I will post them here after they confirmed to me on ICQ.

The game will be played with the rules I posted above.

Start time is 11 AM EST US time each Saturday. There is a risk we will be late in the start tomorrow because FF have not confirmed that he got the start time(but he wanted to start early).
