Just out of interest I've made an overview of the civs represented in all the different Civ-versions. I thought I might share it with you.

What about Call to Power? Wasn't that Civ as well, or just apolyton?

EDIT: Apolyton, sorry got mixed around for a minute. I meant activision. Was it not a Sid creation as well though is what I meant.

Not sure if you guys have seen this yet, but this could definately change the game, and will definately make Theology much more important.

There is now a new way to win the game through the Apostolic Palace. It grants the player the ability to:

* Unlocked with Theology.
* The influence of the Palace is dependent on the acceptance of its religion throughout the world.
* Other civilizations that share that religion enjoy some significant production bonuses but can have diplomatic decisions forced on them by the currently elected head of the Palace.
* Can only be built in a city with the state religion.
* Tied to the state religion of the player who built it.
* Allows a religion to play a major part in international affairs, centuries before the UN makes its appearance.
* Depending on the influence of the palace's religion on their civilization, players get votes to cast on decrees like:
o holy wars
o trade embargos
o peace enforcement (basically say, don't go to war with me)
o assigning cities to their "rightful" owner
* Possible to win an early diplomatic victory
* Is rebuffed by Communism

Is it a big or small wonder?

Hmm, don't know. If you mean world or national then I'd imagine world wonder since only one can be built. Or is it one per religion? Don't think it's really clear on that. Either way, I definitely would like to give it a whirl and see how it plays out. Sounds pretty interesting to me.

I'll bw buying BtS when it comes out... So should we start a signup thread for a PtBs game? and who is hosting it?

mauer · 21-06-2007, 22:03

I'll definately sign up for it. Think I'm gonna go ahead and pre order it. I mean heck, my wife can spend $200 a month on clothes and "accessories" I can spend a few Jefferson's for a game. *reminds everyone Tubby was too cheap to buy warlords*

I've currently got a free pitboss server, I'd be happy to run it as long as all agree to my DM rules (which are: either DM is completely allowed, or DM is allowed except when accompanied by war declaration).

ID, where can I find your DM rules?
