EPIC 49 - Speculation Thread

[Sullla]

Epic 50 could be a Sid "conquest-only" victory condition game in the style of Epic 9. The only way to win is to destroy all other civs, the only way you can lose is to be wiped from the earth.

Not sure if that would appeal to everyone, but it's a thought.

Coming from someone who has never won a deity game....I love it
What about conquests and SS only, you know, classic civ. Well its not worth debating now, we have still got epic 49 to plan. (hmmm...planning 2 epics at once, do I sense some excitement over civ 3 even after all of this time?)

Another war variant:

It would be a standard size map, 7 opponents. Before the game, we are given a list of the 7 opponents in an order (everyone gets the same order). When you meet the first civ, you have to declare war instantly (NO TRADES!). You can meet every other civ and deal as normal. When Civ #1 that you met is wiped off the earth, you declare war on them, etc, etc...the variant is Non-Oscilating War (NOW).

Scoring could be done: Civ1 elimination date + Civ2 elimination date ... + Civ7 elimination date (negative numbers for BCs = -50 is 50 BC). So -90 + -10 + 350, etc... Lowest score wins.

Could be worth a try if it hasn't been done.
