Mge n-ics sg

kcbob · November 10, 2000, 14:49

For those of you unfamiliar with the subject acronym (and that is probably all of you

), this is the beginning of the MGE non-ICS succession game thread. I think there's enough interest out there for this type of succession game so let's jump in.

I would like to suggest the following for a start:

Large world
Random land mass
Random land form
Random climate
Random temperature
Random age (What can I say. I like randomness.)

Deity (Open for discussion)
7 civilizations
Raging hordes (Open for discussion)
No restart (Open for discussion)
Male gender (With all deference to the female posters)
Play as Aztecs (Open for discussion)
Number of players (5 to 7, depends on how many wish to sign up)
Moves per turn (10 in the beginning, 5 later on, open for discussion)

Any takers?

I'm in.

Julius' patch is not MAC compatible but the giga world map he made worked perfectly on mac MGE and 2.42.So I'm not sure about giga-dom.giga-ness,whatever.

idea-why don't you(Scouse) make a random giga setup and send me a zip so I can see

Good work!

Seems to work fine.

So..I have no problem with giga.

btw-that map you sent is awesome.A bunch of smallish islands with tons of water.

OK kcbob - I will generate a gigamap, and we will start it tomorrow. How do you play this game without sleazing.

Julius Brenzaida · November 11, 2000, 17:23

I would gladly join the team.
By the way, how is the other gigagame going, the one organized by Scouse Gits ? Haven't heard of it for a few days now.

LOL!

I'm kinda getting into that, too. Let's hope we both remember.

Julius, as for the other gigamap game, I haven't heard about it or the other MGE succession game.

Scouse Gits · November 11, 2000, 21:31

As far as I know Andemagne was the last player to have the other Giga Succession game. He may well have posted back to SG[1] by now. I will clarify the situation Sunday.

I still haven't downloaded the patch to create gigamaps so if you (Scouse Gits) want to kick this off, that's fine with me.

So far, I make it out to be

Randonmess - 7 non-restarting civs at Deity with Raging Hordes on a 140 x 233 Gigamap

The Scouse Gits in Concert 4000 BC - 3050 BC
We started life with two specials in sight and were fortunate enough to find ourselves one square from the four special site of Perfection City our wonderful Capital. Next we founded Only Three; a good non-ICS distance away! Huts yielded 50g, an Archer and a Horseman; our wise men pondered long on the problems of alphabet and Ceremonial Burial and with the non-ICS secret of Republic in their sights embarked upon the study of Writing.

3050 BC save game on way to Smash (copy to kcbob)

LOL!

There are Swiss players in the NHL??? How do they play hockey in skis???

And, of course, how could we not have the father of all gigamaps in this game?

How about:

Scouse Gits
Smash
Maud'Dib
kcbob
Julius

Still room for a couple more if anyone's interested. And thank you, Scouse, for the copy of the game in progress. No real need for that, though, as I can barely zip and unzip let alone keep tabs on a website of all the moves.

It has been sent on Muad'Dib.I think I'll keep the .zip for awhile just in case.

Well, it’s what I call a “cliché”, if I’ve ever known one. Yes and I eat great chocolate every morning. I just hope that my swiss citizenship will allow you to forgive me if I build cities on mountains although we’re trying to be perfectionnist.
I am glad to learn that I have joined the team. On gigamaps one should always look for great city sites with lot of ressources. Most continents are big enough to fit our perfectionnist needs.

By the way, it's in another topic, but Kcbob, I was wondering if you were mastering the french language ? I've noticed a few french citations in your comments.

Woops, kcbob, at the risk of being flamed into ashes by Julius, there ain't no such language (dialects aside) as Swiss the inhabitants of that country speak French, German and/or Italian - to quote someone's sig - "Bring on the flames"

Chocolate covered cheese? Hmmm. Or would that be a cream filled gouda? Naaah.

As for the French, I took three years in high school and what you've seen in my posts pretty well exhausts what I've retained from those years.

How well do you speak it and what are the other languages you've learned? I'm guessing French, English, maybe German, and of course, Swiss.

No flames and no ashes intended ! Outside Europe, they are few those who know well about such little countries.
It is true that the Swiss don’t speak swiss. They indeed speak German (75%), French (20%), Italian (4%) and to make it more complicated also Romanche (a mix of Latin, Gernam and Italian) for a very little minority. Those 4 languages are guaranteed by the constitution. I am a native of the french speaking part, so my mother language is french, and I have learned some German and then some English in school. Oh yeah and I studied some Latin, too. But don’t ask me to speak it
Kcbob, I hope you’ve learrned something. And we don’t all ski all the time. In fact, we even have many McDonalds, not that I go to them, preferring la restauration à la française.

Romanche! Swiss! That's what I meant.

That was interesting Julius. But now, the real question. Do you have any barbeque joints in Switzerland?

Smash · November 17, 2000, 03:45

I'm wondering if Muad'Dib got the save I sent.Or if a mix-up with another succession game has happened.Anybody know?

Scouse Gits · November 17, 2000, 04:27

Sily point I'm sure you've thought of Smash, but although Muad'Dib changed his apolyton handle his email is (I believe) still Mauddib!

If not KC Bob needs to send you some Bar-B-Que sauce from "Gates" or "KC Masterpiece" or "Smokestack" or....

BTW, Smash is the "Giga" map something that we should post on the Mac page? (I haven't read the threads about this yet, so I'm a bit in the dark)

I sent it to mauddib@intergrafix.net.

The giga maps are compatible with MGE and original Civ2(MAC versions).I don't think it needs to be added but maybe some MAC people don't know and we could somehow inform them that pretty much any map will work fine in MAC versions
