Demo Game #3 - Restrictions

cavebear · March 28, 2003, 12:14

Several restrictions on our play have been suggested. So let's vote on them.

A is about Wonders, B is about Caravans, C is about ICS, and D is about Barbs.

atawa · March 28, 2003, 12:28

Voted no ICS, but how many city's can we build so we're not ICS'ing?

cavebear · March 28, 2003, 16:03

I don't think we should set a specific limit on built cities, but we should expect to have about as many as this past game. I think as long as we are developing the cities we build normally (as opposed to the specific minimalist ICS type), we won't have to worry we are ICSing. We'll naturally want to build a number of cities quickly at the start, though, and that's fine.

atawa · March 28, 2003, 16:42

We could set ourselves a building limit of 10-15 city's so we have to conquer the rest.

This would give us a bit more of a military challenge.

cavebear · March 28, 2003, 21:02

We could consider that. Does anyone else want me to poll on a specific number of cities we can build?

ColdWizard · March 28, 2003, 21:07

yes, a poll on the subject seems like a good idea

Patashu · March 28, 2003, 22:04

can I suggest a restriction? No ending the game unless we get the maximum possible score.

ColdWizard · March 28, 2003, 22:14

maxing out the score is extremely tedious

cavebear · March 28, 2003, 22:20

I don't really care about score.

atawa · March 29, 2003, 07:06

It will take forever to play.

War4ever · March 29, 2003, 17:10

yeah, no maxing score, lets just seek and destroy !

anyone who has spent time maxing a game, knows the agony

Bored myself to tears getting past Rah... Launched my space ship way early just to stop the torture... 20,000+ If I had waited, I could have gotten to 30,000

But as Rah says... it just isn't worth it

see here for the thread

atawa · March 29, 2003, 22:06

Thats the kind of thing you put yourself through once.....

But as civ has a max number of city's and future techs, you can just calculate yourself to the max score.
(I've seen a seve file from a Russian guy who done that, looked very boring

Lets just limit our citybuilding so we actualy have to think twice about our military options

cavebear · March 30, 2003, 11:18

The Caravan and Barb questions are closer than I would have guessed from the prior discussions!

euhm you really want to kill some ppl? believe me a highscore game is very specific, most of the time there would be only one or 2 ministers who have a job, and the endgame would consist of a zillion carans moving back and forth(1 to 2 hours a turn...not what I would call a lot of fun for all the players)

Go wonders, Save the camel,let them live in peace, and I love big cities far from one another

ICS

About 18 hours left in this poll. Speak your mind or your opinions will not be included...

mrboo123 · March 30, 2003, 17:59

I don't care, expect the maw srocing thing,

Ben Kenobi · March 30, 2003, 19:46

If there is a demand for a high score game, I'll post my latest save, still in the 1700's with over 200 million people, and you can take a run for the last 250 years.

As for a DG?

I vote for no camels, lots of barbs and lots of cities.

MrWhereItsAt · March 31, 2003, 11:58

Yeesh, I just made it.

No caravans but yes to Wonders. I have done Trade Supremo before and Caravans seemed to be so unbalancing - I never use them like that in my games.
No to ICS (it's the principle, dammit!) and roving Barbs.

-Jrabbit · March 31, 2003, 12:07

Well, if we have no WoWs, ICS will simply not be possible.

I like barbs, since they pose far more threat to the AI than to a human.

No WoWs can be fun, but if we're going there, our limited number of cities (due to unhappiness) will need camels.

Actually, I care little for the details. It's just great to know that we can take the gloves off and kick some AI tail.

looking forward to War4ever taking a lead role in CwDG#3 * )

H Tower · March 31, 2003, 19:04

Never got a chance to vote, but that's ok, looks like a challenging game. No wonders, no caravans, no ICS, raging hordes.

On a mostly land map too IIRC.

I think it's not the number of cities, but the speed at which the cities are built, and the distance between the cities that tells wether you ICS or not...
