I’m fine with whatever.

I’m fine with economic only. One comment on the non-apex civs though: you have syncretism in their civ’s civic tree that lets you pick a unique improvement, unit, etc. from a few other civs. So it’s not like you’re completely left out of unique stuff in non-apex ages.

I vote for economic victory only.

Manoir has some good points. Also every leader and civ has two aspects, so for us one economy and one other. but only having economy victory could also be intersting. especially in exploration, when everyone is trying to bring their treasure convoys home. And in multiplayer, every victory is difficult. I’m fine with both, but I vote economy victory only.

As for only historical civilizations, that means we are going to have duplicate civs. Also fine with me, but I vote random civ from all ages and keeping it the whole game. I haven’t played syncretism so much, and I want to try it more.

As for economy play in the modern age, production is utmost important, since you need to build a lot of harbors, factories and railroad stations.

Actually, I would have said science more than production. If you get enough gold, you can can buy harbors, factories and railroad stations in towns with the right specialization cheaper. So you can compensate lack of production but if you have a low science you won’t get factories early enough.

Anyway, I can‘t wait for this game to start! lol

Alright, game created!

I did my best to set up a game with economic leaders only, paired with their historical civilizations tailored for an economic focus. Some setups are strictly historical, some are close enough, and a few are a bit of a stretch, but it should be a fun match! Good luck everyone!

HEADS UP: Economic victory ONLY! All other victory conditions are disabled.

In my other 2 games, it was not possible to make the transition into exploration age. So keep this in mind that maybe the game will stop early …

Interesting… Does that happen to all Hotseat games, I wonder, or just our PYDT-enabled ones?

The Beta Test game with SackGT is near to the age transition. We will see.
