Random Tech Tree (b3a13a03)

GMT +2 here, too. Usually taking turns around 0600 UTC and again at 2000 UTC.

@cjcjameson There is a button to edit turn order, in the top-right corner, if i remember well.

Planning the turn order here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ORj8KCtlGmydlDm9nQn2YTjhtmW65YK1ip7Tx8Z21_o/edit?usp=sharing

Starting the game soon

I will try with the Bull Moose Teddy Roosevelt

Also:

  • Yes secret societies (as long as we’re trying one new game mode, why not another)
  • Disasters level 2, nothing crazy

Underway with bull moose teddy roosevelt… sorry about that if you wanted the other one… maybe make a bug report to Mike? hehe I had a better start on the first save file, but all good no worries.

Good luck, have fun!

Initial peek at the tech tree:

Hi everyone, I had to download this mod in order to load the game:

@cjcjameson, I understand you set disaster intensity to 2, but you probably left the mod enabled. Everyone will have to subscribe in order to play.

Also, no problem on the Roosevelts, either one is A-OK.

argh, sorry about the unnecessary mod. I swear that one is like a virus… same thing happened in another PYDT game that another person hosted. They were in a 3rd game that had it, left it on by default when starting the game I’m in, so I had to install it. Now it’s spreading… like wildfire! (and hurricanes and floods and volcanoes)

@cjcjameson Everything alright? This is the second time this week that you’ve held the save for 24 hours. Is there anything holding you up?

Sorry, there was a COVID scare at my kid’s daycare, so they’re closed this week and last. So it’s been a bit busy. Will try to keep up.

So… I knocked out Cree because my start position was crappy. Went after India to try to grow to rival Russia. But Russia was about to attack me, so I struck first.

Russia is crushing all of us in everything: military (swords and horses both), science, culture, and faith.

India: Hyderbad is going to go ā€œfree cityā€ before I have a chance to give it back to you… sorry. If I win it back, can I give it to you, make peace, and have you DOW Russia also? Are you going to get Varu?

Korea: I can give you open borders. They’ll be coming…

America: you’re insulated; thanks for friending me. I think Russia’s got a head start on you in culture; not sure if your economy can eventually catch up…

Heh - looks like your anti-Russia coalition isn’t working out.

Even if the whole world DOWs me, no one has swordsmen/horseman in enough capacity yet (except America, I have no knowledge of you yet). How are you going to take my cities/pillage me with ancient era units?

Will we play to the end (when someone gets legitimate victory), or will this be a game where people concede early?

@cjcjameson I have the crapiest land i ever seen!

We still have a chance to band together against Russia! But we need to stick together! Who gets Hyderbad, and move on with our lives for the greater good!

I’ve got some of Russia’s horse/swords semi-stalemated, but it’s tenuous. Need cooperation!

Crazy proposal: I give Lublin to Korea, Hyderabad to India, and we all throw in against Russia. I’ll accept an IOU.

America, have you met anyone besides me so far? Can you throw a few GPT my way for the benefit of the cause?

Dude, it’s just a game. No need to freak out, give proposals and talk about the ā€œgreater goodā€.

The most important thing is to have fun, right? If we’re too frustrated about ā€œbad landā€ or someone ā€œcrushing all of usā€, then we can just…quit. There’s more games, and more potential victories to be found elsewhere.

(That being said, I will gladly fight a coalition if need be. I don’t have much multiplayer experience and I’d love to see how it works out.)

im enjoying the early war, keeps things interesting! the game always has issues with balance and starts and snowballing, just roll a new game and try again
