I'm curious

Response to Report Part IV : Slow War Preparations
 
First of all, congrats on your winning game, and I'm glad you're enjoying CIv3 again!

I'm a little bit curious about this:

"if an AI cannot quite offer market value for a tech I am selling, I often simply give the AI money, which I will get back anyway once I sell the tech."

You're saying that instead of selling a tech for below market value, you give the AI gold, then sell the tech to them at full price? Outside of Wall Street, I can't see the advantage to that over simply selling the tech at below-market price if you are going to sell it. Sure, giving the money away helps your reputation, but so does selling tech at low prices.

I can't personally see the benefit of doing it that way, but then again I like to do things like making sure the negotiating table has been cleared before saying good bye to the AI if I'm not making a trade. The only difference is that I know my method doesn't have any in-game value at all. :P

  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.
