Adventure Thirty-Seven - Seven Tribes of Egypt - Now Open!

[Sullla]

I'm sorry this was delayed for a few days. I sent the files off to Griselda on Monday, but I haven't heard back from her since. Gris is probably busy this week, so for the moment I'll simply post the relevant info in this thread. Sorry for the delay!

Adventure 37: Seven Tribes of Egypt

Sponsor: Sullla
Opening Date: Tuesday, May 5
Duration: Four Weeks
Map Script: Tectonics
Settings: Earthlike world, Normal climate

Game Speed: Normal



Difficulty: Emperor
Civilization: Egypt
Leader: Ramesses
World Size: Large
Victory: Any (except Domination, all on)
Other: No Tech Trading, No Vassal States



Version: Beyond the Sword v3.17











Scenario: We’re returning to a modified version of one of Civ3’s most popular variants, the Five-City-Challenge. How well can you stand up against the Emperor AIs with a limited number of cities to work with?


* * * * * * * * * *




Variant: You may only have seven cities, period. How you acquire them is entirely up to you; they may be self-built, captured from other civs, flipped by culture, whatever you like. There is a hard limit of seven, however: once you have seven cities, you must raze all cities acquired in war and refuse all culture flips.



If you lose one of your seven cities to an AI civ, you are allowed to recapture it. Should one of your cities be razed, however, you are out of luck and must play on with the remaining six.



Notes: Seven was obviously chosen because it is the number of cities that open up the national wonders on the Large map size. There is quite a lot of land available in this game, so expect to see some very large AI empires. How best to deal with them will be up to you to determine. All victory conditions are in play for this game, and the player can theoretically win all but Domination. Please note as well that tech trading is turned off for this game.



Results: There is no scoring for this game. However, results will be listed by victory according to fastest finishes, with defeats listed in reverse order (those who survived the longest listed first). Those who wish to do so can unofficially compete in this fashion.








Closing Date: Monday, June 1. Reports due by the end of June 2, your local time.

I've been playing a few games as Ram II lately - so this will be fun.

Ooooh - I picked a great time to visit this site for the first time in months. I'll definatley give this one a shot though I have to read up on RB rules re: worker stealing and other questionable early game actions.

Will play with the intention of finishing!

Nice - A simple idea and yet the wheels have been turning as much as some of the crazy variants.

I haven`t given up on civ just yet!! I`m in. I had put it aside lately but the itch is still there....(I guess it will go away when the next one comes out!)

Game Complete.

I looked this but stop when I saw LARGE. I have multiple things going right now, and simply don't have time for large.

Remember that you're limited to seven cities. I didn't think the game took too much time at all.
