Interested in a civ league?

[Robi D]

I thought to spice things up a bit around here we could have a league competition for civ.

I've done some groundwork looking at a format that would make the games quick so it doesn't take to long so participation doesn't drop off.

After a bunch of test games against the AI and mauer i've got a format thats makes games fairly even but with some randomness. The set up is;

120 turns
Advanced start in the Anicent age, Quick speed
Duel size map, balanced resources, Pangea, temperate, normal sea level
Always war, hence no tech trades, no barbs, no random events, no huts, no espionage

Unrestricted leaders so you can mix and match leaders and civs (ie Saladin of the Aztecs). The catch is once you choose your combo you play it for every match.

2 victory conditions, time and conquest.

The points system
Win by conquest 6 pts
Win by time 4 pts (highest score on 120)
Time draw 3 pts (scores level on turn 120)
Loss by time 2 pts
Loss by conquest 0 pts


If 2 or more people are level on points they will be seperated by their head to head records, if still level then the highest difference in scores (total your scores - total of opponent scores).

The game take about 2hrs maximum so games could be played via direct IP, otherwise pbem. Mauer and myself took two months to play ours via pbem.
