	Expanding Game Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

EliitMees and Chrisius gave me an interesting idea, and that combined with McMeadows' distaste for Accelerated Production gave me an excuse to start another game. Beta, I *will* overtake you for second place. I swear.

THE GAME:
Only expansionist civs will be allowed.

However, I'm allowing you to take any civ and add Expansionist to its traits. Heck, you can customize any civ you want. I don't care. 3 traits, one of which is expansionist. If you pick an already Expansionist civ, tell me what you want for a third trait.

You'll start with 3 of everything - scouts, settlers, workers. Also a bit more gold, to get you through that dry spell at the beginning where you owe more than you get

It's going to be a fairly small map, depending on how many suckers, er, people want to play. Standard map, 5 or 6 players, perhaps 7. Small if it's less than 7. Pangea, 60% water unless people want to play seafaring, in which case we'll do perhaps a slightly larger map with 80% water.

Also, if people want I can set up a second UU, chosen by the players. If you have a custom civ that means 2 custom UUs. Say what you want for it, basically use somebody else's UU but rename it.

Anyone interested?

...

I guess so... Here they are.

Sure Snoopy.

I'll take the Egyptians...I always wanted them to have the expansionistic trait added to them.

Yes - to be honest - it is. OTOH, it does make for a lighter evening.

Good luck with the game.

Ok, I had a bit of a thought about it and I would like to have the Indians with the, agricultural, scientific and off course the expansionistic traits. Eagerly anticipating the start of this game...

McM - I think it has already started.

I we get a few more we can start another one. Or maybe the original crew would like a second larger game.

I will take the Chinese.

Huh? It hasn't started yet. The "Expansionist" game *has*, but that's a different game entirely.

So we have ...

Beta Chinese
McMeadows Indians (modified-AgSciExp) (ie the SuperCiv
Eliitmees Japanese
DanielXY Sumerians
Wittlich Egyptians
Snoopy369 ... hmm, I'll be the Sci-Comm-Exp Ankh-Morporkians, with a UU like the Indian (a War Elephant!)



Anyone want a second UU, raise your hand ... otherwise i'll start it friday (ie today) after work, or something like that. Standard map with the six of us, pangea 60% water since nobody seems to want seafaring (Japanese aren't seafaring, are they? If they are i'll do 70% water) ...

The Expansionists Game initiated by EliitMees has started indeed, this is a spin-off initiated by Snoopy369.

And I took the oppurtunity to become what I call "the new Ghandi". Food for the people (agri), mental strength (sci) and spread that word over the globe (exp)...

Sent, sorry for the delay.

Here's the BIQ too, zipped up as per requirements. Plat, if you get another game going with it and want me to customize it for you, i will, or you can No custom map is made, of course, but it can be done if needed. It can easily be done for less people or for more.


Edit: this one was bad, try the one on the next page ...

Oh, and if i messed something up, let me know. I tested it for a short period in SP but not for a long period (that'll come later this weekend) so we'll see, but i didn't change anything significant beyond my own civ.

Beta, can you do the "noAIpatrol=0" fix please, so our raging barbs are really raging? Check the iron civver main thread if you're not familiar with it. Apparently the last player is the only one who needs to do it ...

So i've been playing all day on the scenario. Map is obviously very different, at least as far as i can tell being only 1 turn in on the PBEM version, but the scenario only has one minor bug that I can tell ... I am able to build both knight and war elephant-clone, because I forgot to turn off ability to make knight. Fortunately it makes no difference (knight costs the same for the same stats). (War elephant-clone doesn't have the right pic, either, for some odd reason. Oh well.)

Oh, and if you're curious i'm just slightly ahead in tech and haven't seen any military action yet, as the second age comes to a close. In fact, nobody has -- not sure why, AIs are on normal aggression. (Well, barbarian attacks, but the quick expansion kept them fairly low, actually, since they have nowhere to come from.)

Hmm. One odd thing - the Sumerians only have their original 3 cities. Whomever's playing Sumer, check to make sure you can build a settler, please ... that's the only reason i can think of for this. Not sure why it would change, i didn't play with the sumerian civ at all, but...
