	A simple diplomacy game Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

A diplomacy game, just that.

This game is full.


The basic idea is... well described in Nathan's post. In simple terms, we want to play our civilizations as real civilizations. Not aiming to kill others at all costs, not having to take on our long allies, like in other PBEMs. Instead, willing to make, and play real nations. In this game, consider Civ3 as a civilization simulator, not just another strategy game, like in simple PBEMs. to win will be to see how all civilizations survive to see the modern times.

For more details, go here. The FAQ is based on Civ2, but the main points are all valid in Civ3.

Now, the previous tries go veeery slooow, due to the number of players. Therefore, we will have only 4 human-controlled civilizations in this game. Also, before joining, make sure you can commit enough time to play the saves at least 3 times a week. Best would be, if you could be with us every day.

As for the stories, everyone understands it is a PBEM. Requiring to roleplay each and every turn, especially in the early game, wouldn't make much sense. So, basically, describe important events in your civ's history, or longer periods.


This thread should be used for stories. Turn tracking should be done in the separate thread.


Game settings (final):

4 AI, 4 human players. No trading with the AI, no alliances with the AI, no MPPs with the AI. Extortion not allowed, which means all you can get in peace talks with the AI, is peace itself. Basically, they are barbarians, and have nothing worth of interest.

• Standard size,
  
• Pangea,
  
• 60% Water,
  
• Monarch difficulty level.

sure... how about

standard size, pangea 60%, normal wet, warm temp, 4 billion, raging barb, emperor, and give an extra starting settler to the 4 AIs (china, aztec, persia, babylon) ?

Uhm, I wasn't thinking about commiting suicide... Sure, the AI should give us some trouble, but not kill us. They already get a free settler on Emperor. And without us trading with them, even a Monarch AI will be ahead in tech at the start.

Why not random climate? Why not random age?

warm climate so theres less tundra tiles, and more tiles to work on.

the AI doesnt get a free settler at emperor, so the AI would just have two settlers. they'll have a very strong start

so with those civs, at emperor, with pangea, we could see that barbarian thing. the map could be split, one half AIs vs the other half players

I see. But I don't want it to end in a forced cooperation between players. And it would, if you place the civs that way...

then it could be mixed?

Monarch would be good, I think. They will get beat up with time, but that's their purpose. And, we wouldn't have to place the civs by hand. Like I said - stronger barbs. A little stronger.

Welcome Jsherl.

That makes the player list full. I have updated the first post with the current proposed game settings. If any changes are required, please say so.

The AI will all be Militaristic civs, chosen by me after the human-controlled ones are decided. If you want a specific civ, tell me. Otherwise you'll get a random one.

I will start the game tomorrow, along with a tracker thread.

Thebes was at first a small town, with the river Nile on one side, and the Sunrise Mountains on the other.

The people were hard-working and peaceful. No one knows, what gods were worshipped at that time, as no temples that old have been found.
