Playable Civ - Ottomans
World size - 80 wide by 80 high. (Small)

I propose that in true CDZ style akots be replaced by Col as figurehead captain for this game.

Nothing against akots of course, but it would only be fair for him to pass on the baton.

anarres or Kemal would be invaluable due to their Deity experience.
Aggie, JackMerchant, Ville or Killer wuld earn automatic places due to their AW experience.

I have played a few AW games including AWM, AWE, XNO-AWE, OCC-AWM, and OCC-AWE and somewhat contributed to OCC-AWS. Must admit it is a bit better than 100K culture, although a pretty tedious game in general. Just needs some very accurate play.

I've given it a thought and I'm not signing up for this one. I have a rather bad experience with AW games when people do not clearly know what they are doing. Or doing something despite they were told to do differently. I would then get mad and somewhat upset and fun would be lost. I would have signed up probably but with another company or another type of game when each little mistake is not fatal and which has to be played with surgical precision. Besides, it is a time committment I apparently cannot afford right now.

The team is ready with 5 strong players and there is a possibility to accomodate another one since it is very difficult to persuade Anarres to play his turns. ;)

My games are nearly always oscillating war verging on always war. Until we know our opponents we can't do too much, but if we are alone we can go farmer for a while, and if we have just 1 on our island we can almost go farmer (defensive war while expending).

Although MB did say he corrected this:

Team Wacken and Team Grumpy seem to be the strongest as far as what's listed there

akots
13-05-2005, 19:16
Wacken seems indeed a formidable team but not sure about Grumpy. There is a bunch of players who say "Sid" but I would not wage any bet on them to win this run. Klarius and NP are only two players and that might be not enough.

I do also thinks that Mistfit and socralynnek are terribly underqualified in the table and that CDZ has a fair chance against Wacken.

13-05-2005, 23:37
I'm 100% sure that either of 4 CDZ members which were not listed as Sid can fare way better than these two on Sid. ;)

Seems they just never tried and did not clearly know what to do. Once you know and are patient enough, it is fairly easy. I've played a number of game with Doc, Handy, etc and was not impressed at all.

14-05-2005, 00:00
I still dont see this game as a competition.

I just lurve playing with other like minded men (this comment is for Cols benefit, he's bound to quote it [rolleyes])

The team spirit is great (albeit slightly confrontational) and like Mistfit I have never completed an SP game higher than Deity. The tech deficit upsets me at the start and the AI cramp my farming style really badly.

However saying that I did start a small Deity Archi map and tried always war. Its 230BC and I'm still alive, about to start pushing the locals (English) back at the moment. Maybe this wont be too bad?

Mad-Bax still rates me as Deity just cos I played in an SG with him, can't actually remember which one [blush]
