Succession Game

Fearless_Mage · May 21, 2002, 02:37

why don't we play a civ II succesion game?? A succesion game is when one person plays about 10 -20 turns of the game and then, posts the save game as an attactment here and the next person downloads it and plays the next 20 turns and so on and so on..

SG [1], I've noticed that the succession game are in MGE.
... or am I wrong?

(I know I know, I should install the patch!

)

Scouse Gits · May 21, 2002, 05:27

Yes and no -- there is no reason a succession game cannot be plyed in any version (I understand ToT is very popular) its just that the majority of the interested players only have MGE -- get one started in 2.42 and I for one will leap on the band wagon.

Another reason is that a majority of the recent SCs have been based upon Scenarios - and of course there are far more for MGE than for 2.42

When there is a succession game there is (often) a Brenzaida

I think we should have this discussion in the general forum, rather than the strategy one.
Many succession games have been played this last monthes, the one not yet finished being the sci-fi one and the hellenistic one.
I would gladly start another one, either in 2.42, fw, mge or Tot

Hey I'd like to try a succession game...

Im not real good at civ2 but I will try my best.... I have ver 2.42!

Scouse Gits · May 21, 2002, 16:18

Welcome Mercatia - you will enjoy ACS - and your civ will undoubtedly improve - we try and treat the few ladies that come here with a modicum of courtesy ...

We do? What ladies? Please provide even one example...

I think I have 2.42 somewhere around here, but it isn't installed...

This looks fun and I'd love to join, but I have only MGE -- for Macintosh.

Can that work?

Mercatia · May 21, 2002, 18:43

Alright gentlemen and well other men... I do not need any special treatment.... Just the occasional parade in my honor. hehe

If my history serves me right a few of the most treacherous leaders were female!

Fearless_Mage · May 21, 2002, 20:46

If we have one it should be on civ2 with nothing else, nop fantastic worlds, MGE etc. As well with the latest patch. I'm guessing that 2.42 is that. we'll need about 3-4 players. and keep it the succession game here not general.

O.K about the game settings, what are your preferences? e.g what civ? and what map size? and how many civs to play agianst? i think you get the idea.

Name = default

Fearless_Mage · May 22, 2002, 04:21

Actually maybe deity, I've never played as it (ok mauybe once but i got kicked) some it'll be a learning experiance.

Messer Niccolò · May 22, 2002, 05:13

Hoping to have some time to play... I'm in!
(do we need to transfer the thread to the General al JB suggested?)

and one of the best civ2 players is also female:

Ribannah

(unfortunately she only plays civ3 now AFAIK)

Scouse Gits · May 22, 2002, 08:59

Count me in - definitely prefer deity.

Fearless Mage - it's your game - please start a new thread in General - you might like to look at the first few posts of the two (nearly) current SGs - Invasion planet Earth & Hellenistic Age to see the sort of thing that people need to know in order to get started.

-JRabbit - unfortunately although a 2.42 game can be opened in MGE it cannot be saved in anything but MGE and then it cannot be played by 2.42 people - perhaps you too should start another MGE game off and see how many takers you get?

From past experience in succession games, you may have trouble finding players if you don't go with Deity. My comfort level is Emperor, but I can win Deity, sometimes. However, for a lot of the people here, anything less than Deity is a real cakewalk; thus, not as much interest in King/Emperor....

La Fayette · May 22, 2002, 10:17

Quite right, STYOM (though not true at all playing civ3

).
Therefore you count me in ... if deity

.

Fearless_Mage · May 22, 2002, 16:38

ok ok it'll be deity. and i'll post a new succession post thingy in general. but what civilization do you want to play as? and are you guys ok with the settings?

and the players are:

Fearless_mage
La Fayette
Six Thousand Year Old Man??
Scouse Gits
Messer Niccolò
