GOTM, anyone? - Page 3

Turner_727 · 15-08-2003, 10:48

Okay, Stapel and I have hashed out some details. I'm going to create the map by this weekend. I will start this out as a single player map. It will be a small and quick one. Depending on response, we'll move to an SP round and a 1v1 round.

The idea behind this is to create small quick games. Even the playing field out. Not that I have a problem with the ladder set up, I'm just throwing out something different, and see how it goes. I think it will be cool to have a ladder competition on the SP map, and a second ladder (seperate from the other ladder) based on the 1v1 games.

Guys/girls. . .I'm just throwing things out. NOTHING is set in stone, and Stapel and I are perfectly willing to change the rules. We're going to try and keep it vanilla, but there will be small tweaks. What are they? Who can say?

We'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

Anarres/PP - If this pans out, I'd like to see a sperate forum for it, if y'all are willing. OTOH, waiting to see how it works wouldn't be a bad idea either. In any event, I leave it in your hands as to whether we start of with a new forum from the get go or not.

Comments and suggestions are more than welcome. I will post the 4000bc save with a spoiler shot by this weekend. I've got to pick up my financial aid and pay for my books and classes tomorrow after work, so it probably won't be Friday.

Thanks a lot you two for making this idea real !
I would rather see NO SPOILERS at all for these SP games...we dont want another GOTM

Will there be pre-defined victory type or is it just quickest finish whatever the victory type ? (this might favour warmongers...)
I am sure we all agree to exclude Kemal from this competition of course

Turner_727 · 15-08-2003, 11:29

Right now Stapel and I are of the mindset that a diplo, cultural, or SS victory would take too long, and invalidate the theory of the quick game. (Oooh, lookit me! Big words!

)

Seriously, if people want it, we can do it at a later date. Right now, it's a conquest victory. I might make it domination. . . but we'll see.

Don't worry. . .we've picked a warmongering civ for you. Who could it be?

This sounds like a lot of fun. Though I enjoy the GOTM, I do miss the tournament. It would be nice to see it revived, and I do NOT agree with cracker that whatever "medal" thing they're trying to do is equal to the tournament.

I'll certainly participate, IF I ever get my computer back.

EDIT: I just saw cracker's first tournament game on CFC. It doesn't look to be too bad and maybe the difficulty level problem is solved. I'll still play this one, but I might have changed my mind a bit about how I feel about the "medal play series" they are doing over there.

Turner and Stapel I made a new forum for you guys to play with. It;s in the Civ 3 section. If you guys need more fora, lemme know.

I'm looking forward to this!

Conquest victories are very time consuming Turner, please keep that in mind !

Turner_727 · 16-08-2003, 03:18

Yeah, my thought too.

I'm thinking, and this is open to debate, is the person with the highest score at 10ad gets the win. Beyond that, feel free to play from your own enjoyment.

Well, I've got the save file ready. How do I attach it?

DrAlimentado · 16-08-2003, 20:43

Turner_727 · 16-08-2003, 22:12
