KAC Dyplo 3 - the greatest Civilization 4 game ever played

[LDeska]

I hope that it's the right place for such post - if not, please move it but I couldn't find a right place...


I want to present to you KAC Dyplo3 - a game which as far as I know is the greatest Civilization 4 game ever played. It was a game played by 32 players of KAC club http://www.civilization.org.pl/ It took 284 days during which 225 turns were made by 32 players. Game was played using Pit-Boss with turn timer set to 24 hours. Each player had to login once a day and execute his turn. During game many players were eliminated - only 14 players survived to the end. Game was ended by launching nukes on greatest cities of West - all players agreed that Bombel's Empire (Hatschepsut of Egypt) won that game.

During game a Chronicle was written, players had possibility to sign official pacts / alliances and at the same time we have created a system for unofficial - secret pacts that were revealed after game was finished.

Game was played using Sid Meier's Civilization 4: Beyond The Sword 3.13. Especially for this game a mod was created (to let 32 players to take part in game and add bigger map size and new resources) and a special map script. We worked on rules for many weeks to keep the game as fair as possible. See links at bottom to get full list of people who contributed.

Game was set up on a server bought by our club, one of players provided a place and network connection. It was third game of that kind (fourth game was begun some time ago). It was really great fun - probably the best of all Civ4 disciples as game involved many players, it lasted for months and most of the fun is secret diplomacy (hence the name - Dyplo from Polish "dyplomacja" = eng. diplomacy).
