Narz Monthly Civ Challange!

Narz · September 2, 2002, 01:14

Hi all. The NMCC is a feature I've been doing on CivFanatics for four months now and I figured you Apolytoner's might enjoy it as well. The concept is simple, everyone plays the same game, from 4000BC and submits the end result to see who can win the fastest and with the highest score (or just for fun). Let me know what you all think. Thanks

Here is September's Installment (link to the download at bottom of page) :

Welcome Civ II fans
This month's NMCC may possibly be one of the most fun games of Civilization II you have ever played. It will be quite a challange as well. The game is set on King difficulty level, with seven tribes. You are young Temujin of the Mongols. You were born with no gold and little glory while the rest of the world flourishes. However you have the uniquely human mind that is capable of surmounting great odds.

Specs : DifficultyLevel=King : Barbs=Roving Bands : MapSize=Small

In this game, each of your computer opponents has been blessed with one of the world's ancient wonders. The Chinese have the great wall Great Wall. The Greek posses the Oracle. The Egptians have the Pyramids. The Vikings have the Lighthouse. The Japanese have the Hanging Gardens and the Russians command the Great Library. The Mongols have one other advantage as well, besides the spark of human life. Due to their highly disciplined ways, they have already discovered an effective system of Monarchy, far ahead of their automated neighbors. Use this boost to your advantage or risk being left in the dust! Also note that the Colossus is the one ancient wonder that has not yet been built.

I had planed this for the August NMCC but it was not ready in time. I noticed the GOTM did a similar scenerio but I assure you, this one will be far more challanging.

Note : they AI will build all these wonders after your first turn in 3950BC.

I'd like to play but I'm busy with my scn and anyway I signed up for a PBEM so I must have time when it starts.

It seems pretty good!
I'd wish to have some more hours in my days!

Hoping to d/load soon...

Looks like fun, but Mac users need a ZIP file of MGE in order to play... :sad:

La Fayette · September 4, 2002, 11:54

Many people seem to be very busy

.
I shall play your game, Narz, so that you get at least one game from Apolyton

Campo · September 4, 2002, 12:31

I haven't been playing any Civ during the nice weather, but I downloaded it and will try to fit it in. It sounds like fun, so if it rains over the weekend I'll give it a try.

I won't be a top finisher though; I'm not in that league.

Narz · September 4, 2002, 14:06

Good to hear you guys will check it out, you don't have to be good, its just for fun, of course each game also offers an oportunity to improve also. Let me know how your games are going. Take care.

La Fayette · September 6, 2002, 17:50

I chose early conquest and will be finished tomorrow (close to 500AD), so you get at least one game from Apolyton.

Narz · September 9, 2002, 10:40

Thanks la fayette, you didn't waste any time!

I will let you know everyone's results at the end of the month. Congrats on your quick win and thanks for playing!

So on the first turn the other 6 Civs get a Wonder.
I guess one has to something to make SP interesting in the least.

Nah, just hold down or ctrl click the link and chose "save as" it'll save as a civ save file (might show up as another filetype but civ can still use it)

SlowwHand · September 10, 2002, 14:53

740 A.D., and in progress.
I'm not great like Eyes, and others.

Campo · September 11, 2002, 12:17

I started over the weekend but the weather has been too nice to sit in front of a computer. (I do that all day at work anyway.)

It's a good game and I'm enjoying it. I will finish, but it'll have to wait for a rainy day.

La Fayette is going for early conquest. We'll I'm going for middle conquest. I like to build wonders and develop cities before I set out to attack. I'll never set any records but I enjoy it more.

SlowwHand · September 13, 2002, 16:11

Exactly how I feel. Actually take steps towards building a Civ.

Apokolips · September 14, 2002, 20:49

If you are still doing the contest i would like to join

Narz · September 14, 2002, 23:45

I'm getting pretty good response this month!

Narz · September 30, 2002, 14:41

Your game is due by midnight tomorrow! Any more players yet to submit?

Campo · October 1, 2002, 08:38

I'm still playing it, but the weather has been so nice that I haven't put in much time. It's a good game and I'll finish eventually, but not until we get some lousy weekend weather.

-Jrabbit · October 1, 2002, 09:16

Keep posting here, Narz. Maybe I can find time next month...

Narz · October 2, 2002, 14:23

Results Are In!

Congrats to all finishers!

Onward to NMCC #5!!

- Narz

By the way, if you are still playing NMCC#4 and you'd like to finish, don't let the deadline stop you. I will still record your game and give you an honorable mention.

For all others, get started on the new one, its not due to November 1st.
