New Game: Pong 4

A new round of Ping Pong Civ has begun! 

To celebrate the release of Rise and Fall, we spent several weeks recruiting players to join the Ping Pong Table. We're thrilled to announce that there are now 5 permanent players.

Joe and I will continue blogging again, but we probably won't be making the posts public until after the game ends, so check back in about two months to see how it turns out.

New Game: Pong 4

General Settings

  • Five human players and one AI
  • Humans play on King difficulty
  • AIs play on King difficulty
  • Humans can choose Civ leader

Ping Pong Civ Rules

  1. Mulligan: Until turn 12 (quick speed), a human player may mulligan any game or start that they do not want to play without conceding. We immediately cancel the game and start a new one.
  2. Reincarnation: If a player is defeated or concedes, he or she may rejoin the game as a surviving AI civ/leader of their choice in an effort to prevent the surviving human from winning. A human that loses to the AI still loses even if all other humans were defeated.

Ping 2 - Gamechat

Ping 2 Ping 2 was our second Cloud game, played from July 2019 to January 2020. Over the course of about 175 turns, the Cree (Zar) expanded in all directions to conquer the world. Along the way there was some interesting diplomacy as a Persia unified the East and Phoenicia and Australia each interacted with the expansionist Cree in their own ways. In the end, it didn't matter, and the Cree easily swallowed the world with the might of their industrial and modern weapons. The following game chat records the events as they happened. ======================================= Cloud Ping Game Settings ======================================= Game Settings: * Mulligan until Turn 10 (may request any number of restarts) * Draft leader from 3 random (Each player assigned 3 random, player chooses one) * Only human players (no AI) * All players default to Emperor difficulty * Players may use a lower difficulty if desired (note only lvls 1-3 help humans in MP) * Default Cloud P
