OCC Game?

Russia4Life · 08-05-09, 16:11

Anyone interested in playing or setting up a OCC PBEM? These are the settings I'd like to play with.

For map I was thinking a random 40x80 sized map.
50-70% or 30-50% ocean
average erosion
average or abundant native life
dense cloud cover
transcend difficulty

Game Rules:
Transcend on
Conquest on
Diplomatic on
Economic on
Cooperative on
Do or Die on
Flexible start on
Tech stag off
Spoils of war off
Blind research off
Intense rivalry off
No survey off
No scatter off
No random events on
Time Warp off
Iron man off
Randim personality off
Random social off

Special rules(in addition to the ones commonly used for a PBEM game):
Colony pod module disabled.(only get one at the start of the game)
Planet buster warhead disabled.
Nerve gas ability disabled.
Ban on probe team's genetic plague atrocity.
No AI players

Don't worry about having a CMN to set up the game. There is a group interested in being a CMN. I can tell one of them how to implement the special rules.

You should contact bdanv. It is probably best to publicize elsewhere.

zsozso, do you have a relationship with civ.org.pl (your files are there).

A race for IA, then infinite crawler production race ? Sounds like a sure winner for research factions, mostly Uni. I would bet Uni will win this. Cyborgs suffer from the slow growth, Morgan form the smaller city limits. But I am in anyhow, and willing to take the Gaians for the challenge, especially if it is abundant fungus

No, and I do not know how they ended up there. I originally posted them at 'poly way back...

I should probably worry about getting players before a CMN anyways

I was actually about to post the same thing on Apolyton too, I just got sidetracked by making sure I was still #1 in the arcade.

It might be better to provide a link to this thread when you post elsewhere. Duplicate threads can be very confusing.

Does anyone speak Polish?

There might be interest on www.civ.org.pl.

One can always go crawler hunting, should be a fun way to pass the time.
I want the Pirates (probably not the greatest choice for this game type but I like them)

JustinSane · 08-05-09, 17:31

With abundant native life, I'd take the Planet Cult in such a game. Probably get to crawlers 30 turns later than University, but hopefully could pick off enough crawlers with worms to stay competitive

.

Russia4Life · 10-05-09, 00:33

Got 3 players pretty fast, I honestly didn't think this idea would spark any interest. Only 4 more to go.

vyeh · 11-05-09, 13:28

Do you really need 7 players?

We can set it up as 3 human players and no AI's.

Russia4Life · 11-05-09, 13:47

Want to offer to be the fourth?
I would ideally like to have at least 5, but I guess less would be ok.

vyeh · 11-05-09, 13:49

I offer to supply the CMN (it might be me).

zsozso · 12-05-09, 18:03

Are you all OK with this game being included in the SMAC/X ladder ?

Not sure if an OCC game is really a ladder match material

Broken link.

zsozso · 12-05-09, 18:18

Sorry, fixed it now...

vyeh · 14-05-09, 12:20

Does anyone know anyone who would be interested in OCC?

Russia4Life · 14-05-09, 13:41

I do not know anyone, I am still fairly new when it comes to the MP scene.

zsozso · 14-05-09, 15:06

One stupid idea: we could play double-seats, i.e. each of us plays 2 different factions, that makes it 6 factions. Since it is OCC, expansion is not an issue, we can also try 2 different strategies at the same time see which one works better. I admit I never done anything like that before, so it is just a wild idea, let me know what you think...

vyeh · 14-05-09, 15:12

And to make it easier, your two factions follow each other.

So you receive a turn, enter password for faction 1, play faction 1, end turn, enter password (the same one) for faction 2, play turn, end turn and send save.

You could also try out strategies for increasing your research.
