I got this one from Richard Bruns. You are the only civ in this game and there are no huts, so you'll have to research everything yourself. There is one barb city for trading purposes on another island.Richard only has MPG, so you can't play it in 2.42, but maybe someone can convert it or make a similar scenario for 2.42? Download here. Edit: download the 2.42 versionhere.

Hmmm, this gives us a chance to make a basic table of beaker counts  Btw, what happens if we wipe out the Barbs?  ------------------

I guess the MGE to FW conversion program I tried didn't work  I'm sorry about the inaccessibility to the non-MGE people. If you want to set up a 2.42 version of the scenario, I can send you the map and the instructions, if you need them, for making the lone-civ setup with the 1 improved barb city. It doesn't take too long to make this scenario. The point of this scenario was to remove all randomness from the game. Since there are no huts, tech trading, barbarian attackers, or random diplomacy, the arrival time should come down to pure management skill. All the important parts of the map are already revealed, so there is no need for random exploration either. All of the specials are coal, so the excess of production will probably call for a few strategy changes. Ribannah, the barbs are on a one square island, so you won't be able to destroy them until you get marines. By then, the population of the city will be much greater than the number of defenders. (They have four fish, a harbor, an aqueduct, and a sewer system.) Bribing or taking a city is, of course, against the OCC rules. In any case, the game continues with no problems; you are not declared the winner. Good Civving! By the way, I tried to download the scenario to test it and I couldn't. I couldn't get to the server that has Paul's OCC site. Did anyone else have problems downloading?

Kudos to Richard for a well-designed scenario (obviously I was able to download it). I was afraid it would be boring without any need for defense, but there are still lots of decisions to be made. I like the lack of trade specials; it makes the early tech choices more important.I've played to about AD 40, and have encountered my old bugbear from past OCC games: beaker micromanagement. What do the pros do to keep track of beakers? The only way I can figure to do it is to record the number of beakers on every turn, which is just a bit too obsessive for me. I know how to determine how many beakers are needed to research the current tech, but I know of no way to determine how many beakers have already been contributed. |

I don't normally micromanage to the individual beaker until I get to a tech every 2 or 3 turns. Before that I just set science to get the least turns per advance and when I am almost finished with the advance I'll hit F6 and see if I can lower my science rate a bit. Since I don't count the actual beakers I use a conservative estimate because I hate when I come just short of the needed beakers.Richard, if you send me the map and instructions I will make a 2.42 version of this scenario. Before I do that I would like to know if there are people here who don't have MGE and would like to play this scenario. So if you want a 2.42 version of the scenario please post here. I have already played the game and landed in 1938. After I finished the game I realized that there were several things I could have done better to shave a couple of years off my landing date. I will post my log later. |

I use pencil & paper, DaveV (Only to find out the next turn that the beaker requirement went up 40% after my precise calculation, grrrr .... :mad

Suddenly my late 19th century landing during playtesting doesn't seem as pathetic. Those huts and tech trading certainly do cut down the time it takes. I didn't keep a log when I played, though.About the tech progression, it isn't that jumpy. I plotted those numbers and after a while (30 techs or so) it is basically a linear pattern. There is a very slight exponential increase at the end, but for a rough approximation of beaker count after about 30 techs, use the formula B = 70 t - 1000, where t is the number of techs discovered. So expect the number of beakers required for the next advance to rise by 70 at each tech discovery, on average. |

Since nobody seems to be playing  , maybe my summary will tempt you . I think there is still room for improvement. I scored only(?) one big hit when my Gold was in demand. For some reason Coal was in constant supply over most of the game, and nobody on the Off Topic Forum had even heard of this great commodity ...

This is really odd. I thought that the trade commodities demanded were set from the beginning. When I played, only gold was in demand. Hides were in constant supply, but were never demanded.But when I loaded the scenario just now, hides were demanded by the barb city. Civ 2-Strategy supplied hides, wool, and copper, while Off Topic Forum demanded dye, wine, and hides. But I distincyly remember landing a demanded gold caravan. Maybe this depends on whether you play the game in MGE or 2.42. Paul and Ribannah, what did you use to play the scenario? |

Yes. Demand and Supply are party random, I guess. AFAIK it does depend on technology, city size and terrain.
For most of the game, we supplied Wool, Coal and (after Industrialization) Oil, early on we had some Gold, Beads and Hides as well - not that demand makes any difference early on in this scenario because the bonus is maxed out anyway.------------------

I'd give it a try in 2.42. I am very new at OCC and maybe this would be a good starter OCC. |

First Log (catalogue of errors ) I've posted. Considering how slow the start was i think I recovered to some extent though. I always forget to sell off the improvements when they become useless , not that money was ever a problem with gold always being in demand , even at 0% tax.I only spend about 4 hours on these including doing the log - not enough to micromanage enough to get near Ribannah's years?

I am new to OCC, but became a happy convert, after reading Paul’s excellent strategy guide, and trying it out. I tried this one a few times and some of those tries were pretty pathetic, with landings in the late 1900’s, but I learned a lot. Below is a log of my best attempt at #21. In this game, I decided to trade as much as possible and built a fleet of 6 triremes to rush my caravans to OTF. A drawback of this idea, was having to remain a Monarchy longer than I wanted, but I hoped that a granary and all that grassland would help, and also used “we love” continuously as a Monarchy, to get it to mimic the increased trade of a Republic. I depended on a constant flow of cargos to OTF for cash and bumps in research. In this game hides were always in demand, and except for the trading lull when only food is available, hides were always in supply, so I traded hides like crazy! Gold was the only other commodity in demand I could supply, but it was only supplied one time. Trading in hides worked so well after industrialization that at one point I had close to 30,000 gold and was able to coast to a good result, without even trying.OCC #21, MGE, deity level 3750 BC warrior

Solo, nice to see a new OCC player. I do have one thing to say: when you play the comparison games only the first attempt counts, so you should only post the log for your first attempt. Otherwise you could just try different strategies when you are not certain about the best course, get to know the map and correct mistakes you made.You may of course play multiple times to learn from your mistakes and try different strategies to improve your performance in future, but you should only post the log for your first attempt. I noticed that you also posted a log for OCC#22. I don't know if you also played that game more than once, but if you did please let me know. If you still have the log for your first attempt you can still post that. |

Paul, thanks for the welcome, and yes, I am aware that only the first attempt should be posted. You have my first attempt in #22, and will only have first attempts in the future. In #21, I thought it would be okay to post a latter try at it, as long as I identified it as such. As a newcomer, I tried #21 a few times to learn more about the OCC system, and thought my best result would be of more interest to others than earlier tries. Another earlier one I have practiced on was the four whales, described in your strategy guide. I must have tried it about 10 times, and even with the benefit of multiple tries, could not beat your landing date in that one! Congrats on a very masterful and impressive game!

That's ok, solo. But since your log is not of your first attempt I won't put it in the comparison table for this game. | |
