VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Then why not start in the stoneage? Instead of starting lts of years in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Why don't we just play the Total War or Civilization games?Because Total War campaign is single player and civ games are too short. This is just a big long continuous civ game that draws us back to the forums essentially. Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I had an idea that we start from the stone age with no tech, apart from the wheel and how to make fire.We have a blank map of the world (no country names or anything or Borders).Obvioussly this new idea will mean that we won't have as much technology (which might make fighting much more fun) we will have to decide our culture and also have diffrent attributes based on our culture. For example a god-fearing nation might be scared by people wearing demon masks or whatever.We should have atleast three problems with the culture and three attributes. we then progress through time and at certianl periods we go at 10 years for a day to get through boring times. Over time we will all get some base techs (like electricity) Actually that's fairly decent, except for the electricity thing, since there'll be a technology cap.Thanks :). And I meant we get some tech caps at certian points in time (so say if someone researchs something like electricity which makes them really powerful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurinEthir Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Okay if people are formally claiming peices of land I am calling southern china (the part with gun-powder)I already called southern China...and I thought we were only claiming land, not civilizations or tech. Though I take it we haven't decided anything in the 2 hours I was gone.Has doom even posted since we started discussing this? :blink: Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Could we start at an earlier date in time? And then progress to the middle ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphi Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I don't really want to advance past late medieval times, or it could turn into another version of this, and I don't really want that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I don't really want to advance past late medieval times, or it could turn into another version of this, and I don't really want that to happen.We could also try one without any tech research at all, just a set date, with set tech from that time, and so battles would depend on army composition, morale, size, and the general's competence rather than who has the biggest and baddest toy on the block.

Seraphi Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thats what my warfare system is trying to incorperate.It will mainly be a battle of strategy. Think really complex chess, with a few twists. Also, you must consider equipment strength too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurinEthir Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Grim, I'm pretty sure we're not claiming civilizations, only land. So if we're only having 10K-100K people each, you can't claim all of China. Thus your original claim doesn't really count. I'm sure if we need to though, we can be close neighbors or something.Not like we've actually decided on anything...And we can set the day:year ratio so we go slow enough to still be in the (late) medieval ages after 100+ days.

Grim_ Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Well I am moving all of my colonists and putting up the 1k helios orbs I got into the earthlike planet in the eresu system.In other words the clones which I bought from RPG have come into adult hood (the nano enhancements speed up growth among other things).

paul191600 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Persia is Iran, so Babylonia/Iraq is open.I think time period needs to be clear soon, as it will cause confusion on who is what nation, since allot happened to the various empires over the course of history. Hex, we should use old names to avoid confusion such as this. As the time progresses, you can change it accordingly. Also, perhaps earlier on we can have a day = several years, but later on slow it down to a year (after hitting some date). Ill just stick with Phonecia, btw.

paul191600 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 We do need to decide a time period. I vote 300 BC, what say you?I think that's a little too late on in history, but that is just me.
