BBM Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Go to this post for Round 2: So we discussed this a little in the Civ thread, and I ended up deciding on these set of rules: 1. We're playing for fun; so turn counts don't matter. 2. All victories are allowed, except for Time because it's lame. 3. We start in Ancient Era. Random map type, Standard size (8p), whatever pace and difficulty level you want. Everything else default. 4. First, every player picks one civ to ban from the game. Next, in backwards order everybody picks the civ they want to play. So players ban from 1-8, and then players pick from 8-1. 5. Set all the AI civs to the civs that the other people picked. 6. Have fun! I decided to allow 8 bans rather than just straight up banning Korea/Babylon/Poland/Mayans because I feel like it'll encourage people more to use a civ they don't normally use. If there aren't enough people we can lower it to 6, but I think that lower than that isn't very fun. Players: 1. BBM - Arabia 2. Groot (Sharpy) - Persia 3. HF Makalov Fanboy Kai - China 4. Xekr - Shoshone 5. AnonymousSpeed- Celts 6. Ghost Drafter - Inca Bans: Venice, Spain, Mayans, Poland, Babylon, Korea Edited December 27, 2015 by BBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I feel like you guys should just run a pitboss game, since a draft against an AI doesn't seem really competative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeKr Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) A Pitboss game will never finish or get beyond turn 20, especially with Beyond Earth coming out. There's too many problems with "competitive" Civ play anyways. Edited September 28, 2014 by XeKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I can see people banning The Aztecs/Zulu because AI, Poland/Maya/Korea/Babylon because they're the power quartet, and maaaybe the Huns/Mongols because friggin domination rollercoaster. I might just end up using a civ I've never tried, like Persia or Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeKr Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) We could also try GMR with some AI civs (and maybe no attacking human players?). Or pass the hotseat save file around SF ourselves. let’s see how many years it takes. I heard pitboss still had some serve issues, plus hosting, etc. Edited September 29, 2014 by XeKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 might just start at 6; I don't think we'll get 8? Mongol AI is pretty bad; I've never seen them do well in the long term. Mongols shouldn't really start warring until they get Keshiks, but the AI starts gunning for city states pretty early on (due to the Mongol UA attack bonus against CS's). They'll probably get a few, but they'll almost inevitably ended up pissing multiple other civs off and getting into a war with at least one before they even get Keshiks. And unlike a human player, who has like 10 Chariot Archers ready to go by the time you get to Chivalry, the AI normally focuses more on melee units and doesn't start producing Keshiks in earnest until after it unlocks Chivalry, which cuts down on the amount of time for which Keshiks are dominant.

XeKr Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) The AI also can't move+shoot+canto very well, which is the biggest strength of Keshiks. I'm actually warming up to the idea of doing a GMR/hotseat game alongside the original draft idea. >_>. Probably fill a few slots with emperor/immortal AI (AI turn time doesn't matter, so we could even do 5 of us + 5 AIs on a large map), no attacking other humans so it's more fair? Might be interesting. Edited September 30, 2014 by XeKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousSpeed Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 might just start at 6; I don't think we'll get 8? Fair enough, I can agree with that. I'm actually warming up to the idea of doing a GMR/hotseat game alongside the original draft idea. >_>. Probably fill a few slots with emperor/immortal AI (AI turn time doesn't matter, so we could even do 5 of us + 5 AIs on a large map), no attacking other humans so it's more fair? Might be interesting. Hm, potentially. I'll probably get destroyed in that case, but it would still be fun. Shouldn't there be two teams in that case? (5 on human side, 5 on AI side)?

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) i don't mind, just saying that my experience is pretty much "beat difficulty 4 once" (and 3 abunch of times) but hey it should be a learning experience Edited October 4, 2014 by HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeKr Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) 5 is fine. Hm, potentially. I'll probably get destroyed in that case, but it would still be fun. Shouldn't there be two teams in that case? (5 on human side, 5 on AI side)? We could team, but I was thinking FFA as it might be interesting to have us human players manufacture wars behind the scenes and such. >_>. Could lower the difficulty more to a point where everyone's comfortable. Not adamant on any competitiveness really at all. I'm kinda interested in general just because it's something different than vs. purely AI. Edited October 4, 2014 by XeKr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousSpeed Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Which is why I'm thinking of banning Spain. We'll jut have to see, won't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeKr Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Are we still waiting on something to draft?
