Ahhh Skeeve, What's a succession game again? I don't think I have come across that terminology before. Though I probably will recognise the strategy etc.

Sounds like a good idea.
If you guys are serious about this, keep me informed.
edit:
I just took a look at one of the succession game threads in the civ2 forums. They played 20 turns each until 1AD, then 15 turns each for a while, then down to 10 turns each in the modern era.

Sean, is it safe to assume you would participate if more were interested?

If we can get a few more people sure (three so far), why not? Breaking the turns down to something like twenty is a good idea. This should spare us the more mundane parts of the game. They sure get some interest for these games in the civ ii forum. I nominate you to go first.

I currently don't play with any mods. Will the diplomod and/or AI frenzy make a lot of changes to my files? Also, will it be easy to remove the mods if I want to play without them?

Lets keep it simple, first time round. Think of it as a trial run.

I'm interested too, definitely! It would be especially interesting if people of different playing styles would be interested as well. When's it start?

Hi Octavius III! The more the merrier.
Skeeve, yes playing without mods would make it easier for a first attempt.

Great! It looks like this might actually be a Go:
Here are the ground rules: (subject to your alterations, of course).
- Start on a Regular Size Random Map (we don't want to drag the game out too long)
- Starting Civ: No clue.. how about the Greeks?
- Leader's Name: Again, No Clue. How about Plato......?
- Turn Length - as suggested above. 20 turns until 1 AD, 15 until 1500AD, and then 10 turns thereafter.
- Difficulty: let's avoid Impossible for now, and play on Very Hard.
- No Modifications, original game files only.
- Gameplay: Freedom to do anything you want, as long as you post your actions on the Forum thread (to be created). Therefore, you should be ready to defend your decisions.
Please post any additions or changes you might have to the above rules.
Since we will have to send saved game files to each other, I'll need your e-mail addresses. To keep it confidential, you can just send them to me at Scanga@AOL.com.
Oh, almost forgot... the order of Play!
I'll play the first 20 turns, and we'll pass the saved game in the following order:
Sean goes 2nd (3500 BC)
Phoenixcager 3rd (3000 BC)
Octavius III 4th (2500 BC)
Next Player 5th (assuming we get more people interested)
and then back to myself to repeat the cycle.
I think everyone should be able to play their 20 turns within 24 hrs after receiving the file. At least I hope.
Let's plan to start this come Hell or High Water on April 1st! 
------------------
My reach exceeds my grasp!

Sounds good. Lets kick this puppy off then. I have sent you an e-mail address. I was getting real bored with CTPII, but this sounds like a good way to keep it "up-vibe and interesting".

For me, you can send the save game to phoenixcager@yahoo.com
Keeping the 24 hour-limit might be ok for the earlier turns, but if the empire gets rather large, it might take some time to play the turns in the later ages...
