Epic Twenty-four - Pax Americana - Now Open!

[invy]

Sounds interesting, I've never played a game to 2050AD. I never build bombers, i just skipped them most times I played. Also I don't think I ever had 30+ pop city :D.

I also play most games on my laptop.. and its laggy even on standard maps, but I'm in

Hi,

ah, memories...I remember declaring war on the Iroquois, who at that point had 787 mech infantry and 401 modern armor. A really unique and fun game that had been!

Aggression Penalty:
0% Penalty - For invading your Blood Enemy.
-15% Penalty - One time penalty for invading any civ besides your Blood Enemy.
-10% Penalty - For each civ not your Blood Enemy whose territory you invade.

Just to be sure, both penalties apply for first non-blood-enemy invasion? So effectively a 25% penalty for the first and 10% for each subsequent aggression.

Right, Timmy. It's worded that way because the -10% applies to a civ if you invade it and then later designate it your Blood Enemy.

Not a well-known fact, but the original Network54 free forum for Realms Beyond still exists. Here's links to the info and reporting threads for the original Pax Americana, if anyone's curious:

For those with incapable computers, Kylearan's post here may be very instructive

If we kill our Blood Enemy before the Industrial Age, do we get +10% and +5%, or just the +10%?

[T-hawk]

Just 10%. I think that's how it was scored in the original Epic.

The page has been updated with the clarifications mentioned here, and the save is up.

I put some extra coal into the laptop, and I'm now off and running...

Game Complete.

Kidding, kidding.

I'll try to play this one. 10 weeks should be long enough. To read the rules

* Once you have a Blood Brother, you may declare war against any civ with whom he is ALREADY AT WAR. While in a mutual war alongside your Blood Brother, you are allowed to attack enemy units (even workers) anywhere on the map except inside enemy cities, and you are allowed to pillage enemy resources (including spy sabotage), WITHOUT these actions being considered as "invasion". You are also allowed to pillage or sabotage any tiles under enemy cultural control directly adjacent to your Blood Brother's territory (his border with the enemy, if any).

Just to clarify, what is considered as directly adjecant, or to rephrase how deep we can pillage in enemy territory?!

Corporate Greed Penalty:
0% Penalty - Each branch of your Primary Corporation.
0% Penalty - Up to 20 non-HQ branches of any other Corporations (total).
-0.5% Penalty - Each non-HQ branch of any other Corporation beyond 20 at the end of the game..

This forbids us to spread >20 branches of non-primary corporation, including our+AIs cities? For example, one is not allowed to spread non-primary corp to 50 AI cities ?
