Hello pples i havent been able to dind civ2 MP anywhere so i have bought ToT and was wondering if anyone here plays it online so i can have a go at MP

[MBloomIII]

Hello all. We made it to our new house but I've got to go on a business trip from 8/06 - 8/10 (that's 6/8 -10/8 for you European types ). If my turn pops up during this time, please skip me and move on. Although at the current pace I just may make it. I'm thinking that we need to switch to 10 turns each at 1700 AD. We've still got a little ways to go yet.

[del'd]

[NeoBlade]

Hey,Dexter,forgeting someone!?!Look at the top,it was my turn,and I was going to post my 20 turns,but seeing how you have so kindly done that for me i guess i'll just pass.

[dexter4dxm]

oh ****! i cant believe i did that
sorry! if you want you can go ahead and post your turns, i'll get rid of my post. or you can go now, but if you already took your turns and you just need to post then do that

sorry, i dont know what i was thinking

[NeoBlade]

Uhmmm....I'll post my turns,lemme find the stuff...

AD 400-Sir Blade assumes the throne

AD 410-Our diplomats inform us that the Spanish have developed currency.The english have developed Monarchy.That our allies,the Americans,have learned of Monarchy through there great libaries,that the English have undertaken the Great Wall and that the English and Spanish have declared war on each other,as if we cared.

Sir Blade rejoices as his scholars learn of Invention.He almost decided to have his scholars invent a weapon that whould revolutionize the world However,his countrys economy has grown too large for the basic currency exchange system.He has decided that better ways to manage money must be found.
The people of Rhondda Riot,displeased that Sir Blade,whom they do not like,came to power.Entertainers are hired to distract the masses.

Merthry finishes conscripting and arming a unit of pikemen and Blade encourages them to go out and tame the land around them.

AD 420-Sir Blades jaw drops to the floor as he sees English Warriors defend succesfully against A legion of Barbarians.He sees that the english whould best be kept a friend,less we face such skilled fighters.

AD 430-Our diplomats learn that the Americans have nearly completed this Big Wall of theres.

Sir Blade laughs at them,saying this wall won't even stop barbarians and that they were in Violation of the ABM Treaty(Anti-Barbarian Mission)

AD 440-Despite the worlds efforts to dissuade the Americans from building there big wall,they do.THe war between the Spanish and Japanese end.

Riots in Swansea over a lack of temple flair up.Blade wonders why these people are so ignorant,don't they realize he's building them one already.He desides to entertain them some more.

AD 450-The Americans develop bridge building.We send our Emmisary to America and they promptly demand our secret of invention.Now,not only do they blow us off and build the big wall,they refuse to share secrets and instead demand things from us.We refuse them,no longer wanting this alliance.THe alliance is ended by the Americans while the Celts are left in fury at the Americans for useing them.

Barbarians camped on the hill over Valladollid threaten to invade,and only a warrior and a group of settlers stand to defend against them.Blade immediately buys weapons to arm the conscripts at Valladolid with at a steep price (though much cheaper then the barbarians demands normally are.)to ensure the safety of that town.

AD 460-With the masons of Carmathean done building a market for the city,Blade orders that they begin building a workshop for the greatest genuise in there country,Leonardo.

THe Japanese develop bridge building.The Barbarian Legions storm down the hill and overwhelm the Warriors,though they fought valiantly.THe Barbarians sack the outer edges of the town,advanceing towards the Pikemen conscripts.

Quickly,vendors and merchants have put together a economy that can better manage the flow of money our republic makes.Now,Sir Blade concentrates on Theology,to bring new thoughts on a growing religous populace.

Talks with the Japanese prove fruitfull.A peace treaty is signed and for teaching them how to make maps,there first map of there country is given to the celts as a gift.

AD 470-The Barbarians throw themselfs against the pikes of Valladollid and are easily beaten.For there valour in combat,those pikemen are given veteran status.

Rhondda is told to begin gathering resources for a great Cathedral that will one day be built for the zealous Celts to worship in.

The leader of the barbarians at Valladollid is captured and forced to pay 100 gold in ransom.

AD 500-After a lapse of new events,Sir Blades scholars have developed the school of Theology,to better advance the application of religon across the lands.To herald this event,hes building a great Cathedral for some guy named Bach.

AD 510-Tara is founded on the mainland to take advantage of some unused land.

AD 530-Yawn...Sir Blade is bored.

AD 540-Boredly talks with the women of his court about how to make riceballs.

AD 550-Sir Blade is boggled how his people can learn to be bankers before they can learn how to count.This has all ended,Mathmatics has finnaly been researched.Feeling even more need for freedom,Sr Blade chooses to research democracy,that his country might reach greater heights long after his coming death.

AD 560-Nothin

AD 570-Talks with the spanish go well as Sir Blade bargains for there maps.Langollen is founded,yet another island taken for Celtic glory!

AD 590-Traitors!As Sir Blade lay in his death bed he learns that the SPanish have broken there treaty and destroyed Langollen and are attacking valldollid.Sputtering in Rage Sir Blade orders that his mighty armys smash the Spanish scum,yet the greedy,selfish,gaudy,(american),and decadent people of the Celts start rioting about this,and Sir Blade learns that he has spoiled the people of the celts,yet he can do no more...

But on a up note,Leonardos workshop is almost built,and Democracy is close to discovery,Gunpowder surely next in line.

AD 600-Sir Blade finnaly succumbs to his life long illness and has past away.However,before that his people learn of democracy,but the decison to enhance there republic will be left for the next leader.The attack on Valladollid was a total flop,the veteran pikemen to much for the unskilled archers.However,at sea the navy at Valladollid is in a dangerous situation...

Quick question: are we supposed to be playing 10 or 20 turns this round?

Joe.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Play as many as you want, JoeK... there doesn't seem to be as many 'nothing happening' turns now, though, so when it gets to me I'll just take 10 turns.
