Darius of HRE it is!

This is the place where DMOC and Nakor will discuss their game plans.

So, now let's stay in the game long enough to make those very cheap courthouses do their thing...

Shall we make an e-mail adress for this game, DMOC?

Selection has been done and we got Gandhi of Korea. Korea's UU is Hwacha a catapult with bonus against melee and UB is Seowon a University that gives 35% science rate increase instead of normal 25%. They aren't exceptionally strong, but not that bad either. Philosophical gets a bonus for building Universities so we might get opportunity for a very early Oxford.

I don't know how well Gandhi's traits work in MP game (Trying out is part of the fun). He is well suited for running Specialist economy and keeping up with others with bulbing and trading techs, but here tech trading is off. I've a feeling we'll need also some commerce cities especially, if we can't get pyramids.

Concerning possible religion shot in the beginning. Following nations alongside with us start with Mystisicm: HRE, Inca, India, Byzantium. There are couple of too many for my liking so I suggest we won't start with Polytheism or Meditation. This naturally depends on what we see 1st, but preliminarily I think our early tech path should be:
Agri or Fishing -> BW

After this we should decide, if we want to take a shot at Oracle or go towards Writing.

We could start with worker or warrior depending on the improvable tiles. If we go for Fishing 1st, Warrior is probably better.

With that out of the way...

Hello, I'm LiPing, and I have the dubious distinction (according to Sullla) of being the first person to require a thread to be deleted in RB history. My apologies for being so disappointing
Okay, more seriously. I've avoided botching up the thread title this time (I hope), so here we are, as Shaka of Rome.



From Turn 17 on, Whosit is the new ruler

Welcome to the spoiler thread of Pacal II of Greece!

The old Team Arena and also Hero Battles are now extinct.

Hey. This is going to be our spoilers thread for the Pitboss #2 game. This first post will be left blank of information, in case anyone accidentally clicks here from the other teams. So with that in mind, here are some unrelated pictures to fill space:







It's going to be a fun game, I can already feel it!

Okay, so I saw this link to an online comicbook that I've never seen before. It looks somewhat rooted in WarCraft and has some cute humour...

I feel I have a reasonable grasp of the fundamentals involved in Civilisation... not perfect, by any means, but I read a lot of forum posts and game reports if I'm bored at work!

However, I usually find myself rushing when I'm playing. Sometimes this leads to hasty decisions. Often miss the ideal point to whip, switch tiles or similar. Occasionally found myself missing big stuff, such as 'We have enough on our hands' or a newly AI researched tech.

The way I was playing I found I had an easy time at Monarch, but was struggling somewhat at Emperor.

A while ago I started using the BUFFY mod for one of the Civfanatics Game of the month events. Using it I've won a couple of enjoyable single player Emperor games. But I don't feel like it's any particular improvement in my game. In fact, it might be making things worse. It simply masking my weak spots with it's handy little notifications and piles of information.

Anyway, onwards to the point of this post!

Seems lots of the reports here feature calm, considered play and it looks like fun!

Does anyone have any tips for slowing down and playing a more thoughtful game?

Any other random thoughts?

Cheers!

Ahoy mateys. This is the spoiler thread for Peter of Byzantium

If you are one of the other players, this is not the place to be.

And since I see that Kodii and those other scoundrels already have 18 posts, more information will follow in subsequent posts.
