Civ2 Democracy Game- Exodus - Anyone Interested?

EmuGod · June 23, 2003, 18:30

Hi everybody! Yaroslav and I came up with the idea of possibly creating a Civ2 Democracy Game of the scenario Exodus. It is a scenario about the Israeli War of Independence that is lots of fun, and is also very difficult. We'd all play as the Israelis together and try to save ourselves from the invading Arab legions. If you're interested, please post. We already have 7 people including yaroslav and myself who are interested. There's plenty to do in such a game so the more people who sign up, the merrier. Version 2.0 of the Exodus scenario can be found here.

I, of course, have voted "YES". It is going to be very fun, and the scen is difficult (that means, more funny). We need standard citiziens, front's commander, a Prime Minister - Israel needs you!

hmm.. I have never been in a diplomacy game but it's seems to be a lot of fun.. so where can I read about how it works? or can you guys tell me?

yeah, I'm in the RFDG and I would definitely be interested in this! Though I'll be gone for 2 weeks in a few days, so I don't know how much of a role I will be able to play.

I think you should post your turns in many PBEMs before starting this Democracy Game

I intend to academia. yaroslav is the brains behind this, I'm just the one presenting it.

Yurt · June 24, 2003, 23:10

I would like to join. The only problem is I'm away from June 25 to July 5, so if you are starting before then I will have to join late, if possible.

Az · June 25, 2003, 01:14

Count me very much in!

Az · June 25, 2003, 01:18

Alas, I can't download the file.

FiGu · June 25, 2003, 04:33

hmm.. which one of the israeli independence war?
hmm i would suggest the Under Siege Scenario, its a lot more fun!
its too about the israeli independence war.

FiGu · June 25, 2003, 04:34

Double Post..

EmuGod · June 25, 2003, 08:02

I also like Under Seige, but it is too easy. On Deity I captured all the Arab countries as Israel. That's why I suggest Exodus. It's difficult and lots of fun, so we will actually have a challenge.

FiGu · June 25, 2003, 08:08

Someone could edit the rules files and make the scenario even more difficult.

EmuGod · June 25, 2003, 09:07

insurgent is planning to improve Under Seige, but I think that Under Seige is also not as good of a choice because it was created to have all the wars played in it so the units and wonders are made to accomodate that.

Exodus is much more specific to the Israeli War of Independence and therefore it is more accurate in its representation of the war. We would need to edit the rules file for Exodus as well, but only to eliminate things like bribing cities and units, which the creator never got rid of.

If you want, I cand send you it via e-mail

Sirotnikov · June 25, 2003, 18:00

I'm in

Insurgent · June 27, 2003, 17:31

So am I!

Az · June 28, 2003, 07:51

Oh, and obviously, I am in!

our_man · June 28, 2003, 08:03

I enjoyed playing this scenario; count me in. The question is though will there be enough roles for people - Exodus' scale is a lot smaller than Red Front.

EmuGod · June 28, 2003, 14:24

We currently have 13 people, which should be enough for a game.

Stefan Härtel · June 28, 2003, 15:14

Hm. If you've still got a slot, count me in.

yaroslav · June 28, 2003, 16:00

I'm pretty sure we always would have space for players: the more citiziens of our demo game, the merrier

Welcome aboard, our_man and Stefan

Stefan Härtel · June 28, 2003, 16:41

Okay, thanks

Oh, by the way, something like citizen or anything domestic or diplomatic would be something for me. Just... explain what my tasks are.

yaroslav · June 28, 2003, 16:47

I think that we will soon start to ask for a pool in order to select the goverment

Insurgent · June 29, 2003, 14:15

I'm an officer, follower of a lightning war doctrine, offensive in nature, and I seek a position as commander of an offensive front in the IDF.

Exodus was named for playing the Israeli War of Independence and is very challenging. It is probably the most difficult scenario about the Israeli War of Independence.

Sirotnikov · June 29, 2003, 22:41

Hmm...

Can I be head of the Mossad?

Btw, I'm the official graphicer until further announcement.

Sometime in the next 2 weeks I'll make official avatars (hoping they will be reinstated) and flags and what not.
