Response to Epic Seven - Scenerio Scoring Feedback

 

... but that doesn't mean much in winter (I work in a pool shop).

I'd suggest that this be a large map with 16 civs and 40% land. More racial interactions, more possibilities and harder to get wonders.

I think that the no mpp/no alliance rule gives too much reward. I'd suggest that it be reduced to 15-17 points.

Also, the rule about not capturing wonders - are you allowed to raze a wonder city and still score the points?

7 pts - Achieve Victory WITHOUT building or ever possessing the Pyramids -or- Hoover Dam

Could I also suggest that this is too punishing. The reward is not worth it. Doing without one of these wonders slows you down a lot - doing without two slows you down too much IMO. Not for seven points anyway. Give 4 points for not using Pyramids and 3 for Hoover, with a total of 8 if both aren't used. But the sacrifice here IMO is too great for such little points.

30 pts - Histogram victory WITHOUT ever attacking any rival cities.

I think this one should be upped to 40 points if espionage is never used to attempt to convert foreign cities.

  Tourney Mission Statement:
Existing Civ III tournaments, contests and group events are universally plagued by elements or shortcomings that lead often to compartmentalized results. Spoilers and privileged info is readily made available while games are still in progress. The game itself remains in flux through a patching process. The scoring system measures only a few elements of the gameplay. We at Realms Beyond are not satisfied to settle for these conditions and compromises.

The Realms Beyond is home to gamers who go beyond the norm, who creatively add depth to good games to make them better, who choose to set our own added limits to gameplay for the purpose of increasing challenge, varying gameplay flavor, and getting more out of the games we love. We discard the usual standards and venture into realms beyond, where we share our passion for gaming with one another, and with those who are like-minded.

We develop and refine our tournament as we go, with the help of the players. Each game is subject to rules, but we keep the framework light, the emphasis on excellence, the focus on the spirit of the game. Come and play. Share, compare, teach, and learn.
