Civilization Round 3

[Tyler]

I really hope me and dell can finish the current game off tonight. So round 3 could start as early as Saturday 4pm CEST. We will need to finish around 6 though as I am going out to watch the football.

If you are new to our games you need to open UDP port 2056 and check it with the tool downloaded from here http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm.

The map we use can be found here http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=14572. Hints and tips can be found here http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy.

I think we should include a rule like "you can be replaced by AI if you are 500 points behind the top player and everyone else is online".

Post your choice of civ below if you wanna play.

Sounds good!

Not sure who I'd like to play. Koreans maybe. Someone with Mysticism.

I think we should include a rule like "you can be replaced by AI if you are 500 points behind the top player and everyone else is online".

so that would have been anyone besides delling and you in our last game

[Cwave]

Mhh ok! I can't make saturday this weekend but if it's ok, would like to join in later on.

Inca -> Ethiopia -> Persia in order of preference

[Cwave]

Oh and put in a 12 hour turn timer :P

[Tyler]

I think the 500 point gap only really opened up last night Grish.

12 hour turn timer and city raising to be turned on. How do people feel about changing to "Epic" game lenght. That is ~600 turns instead of the ~400 for the last game.

[delling]

I'd rather stick to quick or normal, because those are the speeds I know (and I presume other people are comfortable with them too).

The whole 'Normal' thing really threw me off in this game -- it's the first Normal game I've played past 100 turns!

[Palmar]

Sounds good!

I'd like to give the vikings a try, if archz doesn't mind.

[Vorte]

Sounds good!

I'd like to give the vikings a try, if archz doesn't mind.

You better win then!

[delling]

I could try the Aztecs, or whoever that light blue player is -- Pacal? They have mysticism I think... will have a look.

[Palmar]

Just make sure you plan ahead then delling. My performance in this last game is no indication of how playing in america is, I failed.

But it's still a disadvantage, except it's a lot safer.

[Tyler]

The Myans are awesome though. They have the 2 best civics, great unique unit (UU) and unique building (UB) and the native americans to shield them from the worst of the barbarians.

I look forward to seeing what kind of empire Dell has when I sail over there!

[Grishnag]

ill stick with russians again... allthough i failed a bit last game

[Hugman]

So which civs are taken, and which can I chose from?

Edit: and do we have to do the same map?

[Daekesh]

I'd like to play an american civ, or maybe the one sint played last time, in south africa?

A few notes:
- 12 hour turn timer!  Or maybe even 8?
- City razing, can we turn that on please? :)
- Maybe make it, say, 30% behind the leader, instead of 500 points?
- I wouldn't mind the epic game length.
