Civilization V Solo Reports

[T-hawk]

I'll evaluate a request and take it if I like it. What's on your mind?

I was just wondering if you'd do an OCC game under whatever settings (map, difficulty, civ etc) you prefer. In particular, I'm wondering at the depth of choices for such a game. I just played an OCC using base G&K (Couldn't turn it down for a fiver...) and I wanted to compare my thoughts to yours.

[T-hawk]

I'll think about it. I did do an OCC already in vanilla, and G&K doesn't seem to do much for OCC. The best map choice is very narrow thanks to the Petra wonder. And religion doesn't fit well either; virtually everything in the belief lists is geared towards expanding, with nothing that's multiplicative with city size as an OCC would want. But it could be worth doing.

I think it could be a good comparison to an ICS game (looking at the two extremes).

Anyone want to lend me a hand? I've got a game that's crashing reproducibly on entering the Renaissance. Anyone else want to try it and send the save back if you can get past the crash?

Re OCC, I think I've got an idea to try, if you're okay with me start-scumming to get a desert setup for Petra.

Ichabod to the rescue!

It worked for me. Saved as soon as I got control of the turn. Used the second save. I have windows Vista and use the direct X 10/11. Hopefully there won't be compatibility issues (I know nothing about these tings).

Edit:

Thanks Ichabod, but afraid it didn't work out. I could load each of your saves, but then on both Civ 5 crashed the next time I ended turn.

Anybody else want to play a half-finished culture game with the Maya? (I don't think it was on track to set any speed records. The start was slower than I wanted, and the Long Count great people are actually a bit counterproductive, since the main cost counter gets bumped up by the non-artists you're forced to take.)

Don't have Korea, sorry.

[Ichabod]

Well, I don't have the tech skills needed to help at a deeper level, but if anyone has an idea that requires further playing or testing, just ask and I'll try to help.

Sometimes I get ahead on playing and behind on reporting and then catch up. (These aren't the crashed Maya game.)

Each just one page; I tried to write more concisely now that I've been over G&K several times.
