Civilization 4 - Empire building 101

Palmar · April 27, 2010, 06:10:07 PM

This will be the official thread for our first ever attempt to play a game of civilization.

Requirements:

1. Civ4 Beyond the sword, updated to the patch Delling linked in the other thread.
2. Free time from raid-end tonight, so we can get the game started. I realize this is a bit late, but it won't be more than an hour tops, just to get in the game.
3. Free time this Saturday afternoon to play 1-2 hours of hardcore rounds

Players:

Please leave your name and preferred civ leader in a reply to this post, I will then create a game with all the selected leaders.

Pálmar - Mansa Musa
Delling - TBD
Chippen - Bismarck
Grishnag - Whatever Dutchtard we can find
Hugman - Churchill
Kilizion - Saladin
Tyler - Huayna Capac

Rules:

Inland Sea map
turn limit: 120 turns
No tech trading
normal diplomacy
map size: standard
game speed: normal
victories: all
turn timer: 12h

We'll then work other things in for the next game, I predict us reaching early middle ages or so in so few turns, so there'll definitely not be any nuking for this first game, but it's a testing game anyway!

mrseb - no idea on what civ to play. I'm a noob. Suggest a good one for me to start with!

Chippen · April 27, 2010, 06:12:55 PM

chippen Bismarck/GERMANY

Grishnag · April 27, 2010, 06:42:23 PM

Grishnag

would like to play the dutch if its not to much trouble (nationalism ftw ect ect)

also are we gonna end the raid early today then? yes yes

Hugman · April 27, 2010, 06:42:51 PM

Hugman - haven't really played that much, so I don't know what i'm doing most of the time, so I'll go with Churchill/English, just for the sake of it.

Remember that B-raid has to finish too grish! (of course we could just kill Lich King and end 4 hours early).

I'm thinking Greek or Roman for Seb, they are pretty decent I seem to remember, though tbh it doesn't really matter that much overall (unless Palmar gets like the uber-scout warriors and pwns us early).

Hugman · April 27, 2010, 06:50:24 PM

Btw what is the difference between Civ 4 norm, warlords and beyond the sword? Just more leaders and a few new units?

Kilizion · April 27, 2010, 06:54:35 PM

Kilizion - Saladin

Luthorhuss · April 27, 2010, 07:24:16 PM

I don't have the game yet, and I never played it b4, so i would be über noob if i was to join your games, i think think i'll be able to follow the 12h turn anyway, but if you want a naab if you decide to go with some 24h game Im up for it.

Tyler · April 27, 2010, 08:48:34 PM

I'd like to be Huayna Capac of the Inca.

Cwave · April 27, 2010, 11:47:32 PM

Cwave - Russia *

Grilldyret · April 28, 2010, 12:34:05 AM

Grilldyret - Either the Ethiopian dude in a sweat suit or the Chinese!
can't play tonight though, so guess I'll sit this one out!

delling · April 28, 2010, 01:22:24 AM

Started a game! Cwave sucks for not turning up.

Played 30 turns in about 30 mins. Pretty cool...!

Next 'intense' session: 2pm Saturday.

Hugman · April 28, 2010, 01:23:39 AM

Number of turns played: 30 or so.

Number of Civilizations killed by the English: 2
