So another game, another bad thread title.
After more or less bad showing in my last PB, I will set my goal a bit lower.

I will try to post here too, but my main thread will be in german over at civforum.de

Welcome to my thread kind sirs. Gonna try reporting this time but no promises.

So, does a large game mean lategame-oriented picks are much better than otherwise? I haven't played PHI yet.
Edit: oh right, it's random roll. Still, don't have to be phobic of late-era UUs and UBs, which is nice.

Not sold on an idea for a theme yet.


Possible, but I'm not too happy with them:

• Miguelito and Ginger bring about the end of the world - explore apocalypsis myths from different cultures? We'd hopefully run out of names though
  
• Miguelito and Ginger at the end of the world - a Chile theme, because I have personal attachments, and I like cities having names of actual places

In which I attempt to do the thing I always fail at doing - play really casually.


I just hope everyone has fun.




a day in which I did not have fun


In the interest of having fun, I'll be maintaining a scoreboard. Keeping score is the best way to be super casual, right?


The Scoreboard

Ragequits: 0
"This game might ruin my life" Quits: 0
Misc Quits: 0
Turn Split Controversies: 0
Non Turn Split Public Rules Lawyerin': 0
Reloads Due to Misclicks: 0
Adorable Newb Accidental Rule Breaks: 0


Will accept other things I should keep score of, as long as they're relatively easy/infrequent to track and do not require spoiler info. For example, I thought about tracking pauses, but that sounded like too much work.

Details and arguments see the main thread.

Proposed Rome nerf: Increase Praetorian hammer cost from 50h (already increased over BtS) to 55h

Proposed America nerfs

1. Carnegie Public Library gives +1GPP instead of 2
   
2. Carnegie Public Library stays as it is, the Minuteman UU is reverted to the Navy SEAL from BtS
   

Opponent analysis to come in time. That's really half the fun of playing in these games anyway.
