Ridiculous Civ Action (Screenies) Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

At Paddy's request, I've decided to do something that I've never done before...

Do a turn by turn game thread with screenies!

I'll just be playing one turn at a time so that the posts will stay short, feedback on what to do next and so forth will be taken into consideration.

Nation: Random
Difficulty: Noble
AI: 8 Random AI, 9 total civs on map.
Map: Fractal
Size: Standard
Climate: Cold
Sealevel: Low
Speed: Normal
Barbs: Ragin'!
All Victory conditions.

Let's see what the draw brings us:


Well, it looks like we drew America, and Roosevelt, Industrious and Organized, Fishing and Agriculture.

Fun Facts so far:
1. My first game playing as Roosevelt
2. My first game on a fractal map
3. My first turn by turn story.

Here is our start position:


Looks pretty classy, I'm gonna be founding the city there because the rice and fish make it too good to pass up.


Begin working on a workboat to take advantage of those seaborne resources. Oooh cows to the west!



Moved Steve the Warrior one square Southeast (3 for you demogame types) He sees some clams and the piggies that we could already see. The tundra's telling me that west and north are the directions that we'll have the best growth, but Steve will continue to look for goodie huts.

Decided to research the wheel to hook up the rice asap. Animal Husbandry will probably come next as there's those cows in the fat cross.

Next build will be a worker then 2 warriors or warrior, archer if I have archery by then.

And that's the end of 4000 BC!

3920 BC Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Roosevelt sat in the palace in Metaliturtleton with high hopes. Already he was anticipating the completion of his work boat to exploit the riches of the sea. He looked upon Tigerfish Bay as the locals had started to call it with a beaming smile, his seaward future looked bright.

To the south, his faithful friend and warrior buddy from high school, Steve the warrior was preparing to make contact with an indiginous tribe. Roosevelt hoped they would teach Steve something useful, knowing full well that if the tribe were to turn out hostile that it would be the end of this land that had become known as America.

So what did Steve find?

The Villagers provided Steve with detailed charts of the immediate area, and more random ones of the area southwest of the next city site. Additionally, it was discovered that the new city site would also be able to exploit a lusterous metal known as silver! The natives also indicated that there were strange beasts in the ocean to the south, but Steve decided not to believe them. Still, at the last minute he decided to draw mythical swimming beasts on the map for the President.



Steve had also expanded his report about the next city site. If the location wasn't certain before, the silver surely would clinch it, he provided the President with a map of the next city site. He informed the President that the next move would be to investigate the silver site further and get the complete lay of the city site.



Metaliturtleton looks pretty much the same...
Growth in 9 turns.
Work boat in 14 turns.
The wheel will be researched in 6 turns.
City borders expand in 3 turns!

Current goals:
Complete work boat
Make a Settler
Have Steve explore a little more SE and then have him explore to the NW of Metaliturtleton.
Steve escorts Settler to new city site
Metaliturtleton makes another warrior for exploration
Metaliturtleton makes a warrior for defense

...and the save!
