[PBEM]Civ4 Succession Game #2: India

[John-SJ]

2760 B.C.

Our warrior near Delhi was attacked by the lions that had been tracking him, he survived with injuries and is now bandaging his wounds. The experience though did teach him some new techniques making him 10% stronger.

Our second warrior who is exploring further from home met a representative of the Spanish Empire and their ruler, Isabella. After some discussiont they parted in peace, but we are left with the impression tht Isabella can be rather unpleasant if it suits her.

We begin work on a farm so that our wheat field may prosper.

2720:
One warrior healing, the other, exploring.

2640:
Now healed of his lion inflicted wounds, our warrior returns to his primary task of exploration.

2600:
Aack! Another lion. Hoping for the best, our warrior prepares for the lion's ruthless attack, praying that his lesson was well learned.

(I tried to attach an image, but I guess I need to be a supporter? Right now it says that my attachments must be no larger than 800x0 )

edit: I guess one problem with playing multiple succession games is the possibility of confusing which Civ is being played in a given game.

Well, the lion left us alone. Feeling as if he can do anything now, our warrior attacks the lion as it roretreats...

And conquers his enemy! And he gained 2 useful bits of experience in the deal so he's feeling proud!

We finished a farm and immediately begin on another just south of the one just finished.

2520:
Monotheism researched, the INdians founds Judaism. We also have adopted the Organized Religion Civic for its faster build times.

Our warrior is resting after his recent fight and reflecting on all that he has learned.

2480-2400:
Exploring.

2360:
Begin work on a mine in the hills north of Delhi. Delhi trains a new settler, ready to expand our glorious empire and then began a new defensive project, Walls, so that the citizenry of Delhi may be proteected from the barbarians without.

Ah, you are right. Silly Paint Shop Pro claimed my unedited screenshot was 760 x ??? whatever. In reality it was 1024x768. I am sure that is why it would not upload. I will attach a final shot or two at the end of my turn. Thanks!

Wooohoo! I see we have started! I still don't have the game per se, only a cracked version while I wait for my preorder to come, but if I manage to get the game started again tomorrow(I have some problems with it sometimes, but when I'm in it works like a charm), I will follow here and see if there's a save ready for me. Great game, eh?

BTW, how do I get the game to become windowed again?

2360 B.C.

Our settler is ready to settle, but where!? It strikes me that we do not have a lot of fertile land within our easy grasp.

I am leaning toward near the isthnas, on either side of it, but the leader who inherits in 2200 can make the final decision. I will begin to move him, and our not quite healed warrior in that direction.

you mean show the desktop when in a game Nikolai?
if thats what you mean press ALT & TAB at same time

If I remember correctly I think I used to use another..like Left CTRL & D(D for desktop) but its been awhile and it was CIV III with that

But when I take screenies I just have the PSP opened in background..and press ALT & TAB to get out of game to paste them

hope it helps

wait..did you say that you CD came in cracked..that a shame

maybe you could contact the WAREzHouse to get a new copy, eh?

*SIGH*
Lion sighting, west of Delhi, just where we wanted to go. Our settler unit has opted to remain near Delhi until the warrior can dispatch him.

(Sorry about double post, now silly forum won't let me delete it. Says I may not be logged in or have not received an activation email from the admin )

2280:
Another promotion for our warrior, he is becoming quite the melee combatant!

On the exploration front, we finally found the southern coast, not to mention, two nice sources of seafood! Yum!

[Nikolai]

No, I got a cracked version while I wait for my preorder version that comes here Nov 4th. Europe is late you know.

What I meant was how to get windowed mode, ie the game in a window such as Markos. I know it's in an ini file, but I don't know where, which or what value to change...

You didn't escort him from the beginning of? Be careful with that...!

The settler remained insid Delhi's cultural sphere, so I had fullvisibility of possible dangers. No, I had no plan to send him out without escort.

2240:
Exploration so far.

[Nikolai]

Okay. Yo ugot me worried there...

[John-SJ]

2200 B.C.

Settler and warrior are about to meet for the trek to new lands and new hope.

Our worker finished his mining exercise and is working on yet another farm. Animal husbandry is only a turn away, so we can build pastures next if that seems the thing to do.

Well, we survived this far, Isabella has not decided to exterminate us yet so I guess we will do well. Hehe!

Here is the save file for the next intrepid leader. Good luck!
