not bad for a rookie

you won on score? gratz. didnt even know that was possible should have read the manual properly...

anyway, welcome in the fold, may the lords of civ be merciful to you.
it seems the game was a little easy for you though, gunships vs cavalry. gunpowder vs non-gunpowder. you must have been well in the lead... set it to prince and try again, and again, and again, thats addiction

Very nice read. Welcome to the world of turn based strategy games, and welcome to Apolyton!

Welcome to civ and apolyton!
Nice story, you should try a level or two heigher

[alva]

You bet I am

In time you'll hate the designers and yourself for ever getting into ( a great) TBS game.

and as SR said, nice read and welcome to Poly.

[Cort Haus]

Yep, good read, Hengist. Enjoy Apolyton

[Aro]

I plundered and raised the city to the ground.

Razed. You plundered and razed, dammit. One can only raise cities in SMAC.

Thanks for the correction. I must use a spell checker next time.

Good write-up. I suggest you try Prince for your next game.

Hengist: are you a millitary man?

I enjoyed your story. One of the first Civ4 stories i've read through without thinking of stopping.

Brilliant writeup! It's not often that someone new to Civ can come up with such a lucid account!
