When and Why should the probabilities be calculated? (Time out:0 days after 31-01-2002, 23:11)
ONLY after turn 300
ONLY after turn 500
When the human takes a city
When a player is defeated
When a certain advance is discovered
When the human has one and a half times as many cities as 2nd placed AI
When the human has twice as many cities as 2nd placed AI
When the human has three times as many cities as 2nd placed AI
Every 10th turn
Never. Crap idea. You're a moron Ben.

Superpowers - When and Why? Full PM-box? Change here!

Ok, so merging civs to form superpowers.
What do you think? When would provide the most effective challenge to human dominance, bearing in mind this will only happen up to twice in a game.

Note: This is to determine when the function will run to see whether the right conditions exist: ie two alive civs who both are enemy to the human and at peace with each other, and [probably] with few enough cities to survive a merge.

What's wrong with every turn? Doesn it really take *that* many resources?

(BTW, got your/Peter's email, I'll reply later tonight)

Enter the AD-FREE zone

The only problem with every turn is that it could well result in the two merges being used up by 0AD, and the rest of the game decending into tedium. Unless the chances were made really small...

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Then make the chances really smart
Of course, it will require playtesting to get it exactly right, but I'm sure at least some of us still remember how that's done And if it turns out you need a turn > 500 condition, you can always quite easily add that afterwards...

I can't, you didn't include an 'other' option... Oh well, I'll just vote for 'You're a moron Ben', as that is quite true

Edit: look's like I'm not the only person who thinks that way

Vote for the bottom one then, and start your own damn poll. I'm fed up of this one anyway.
