Extended Original Succession Game

[Hydey]

Yeah the game continues

[JoeK]

I'll have mine done by tomorrow...

It's still 10 turns right?

Joe.

[JoeK]

Here's a quick log to keep the game rolling:

1750
Enter world ripe with war.

Population exceeds 52,000,000.
San Francisco falls to our troops.
Began SETI Program in Caernarfon.
Began shifting massive Howizter production over to city growth.

1754
Began siege of London.

1756
Transport lost to American Submarine. Need our own subs. Rush build one in The Udal & Buffalo.
Found Viking city Ravning Enge in open field southwest of Detroit. Howitzer already on their way.
Troops march into Coventry, converting another city.
London falls to Celtic might.
We accept to talk with the English, but they claim they could crush us if it wasn't for our having the United Nations. We'll crush them. Nottingham appears to be their last city on their mainland.

1758
The English have given Mobile Warfare to the Vikings, and the Vikings gave them Refining and Electricity! We must strike them down before they treaten us any further.
+53,000,000 people.
Our first deployment of a submarine from The Udal results in the victory over an American sub.
Troops capture Ravning Enge, but we must continue our search for other Viking hideouts.

1760
+54,000,000 citizens.
Troops roll into Nottingham, extinquishing the flame that was once the English civilization.
Begin unloading howitzers outside of New York. The invasion of the American homeland begins.

St. Louis follows in the wave of American cities being covered by the global umbrella of the Celtic people.

1766
+57,000,000 citizens.
The Americans wish to talk, but they offer nothing but rude remarks about us. We continue to free their people from their retched reign and welcome them to our glorious and advanced culture.
For just 560 gold, the American citizens of Boston join the Celtic people, bringing with them Shakespeare's Theatre.
Seeing that all built Wonders of the World (except for The Lighthouse) now reside in Celtic lands, we rush build the SETI Program in Caernarfon.
Philadelphia soon joins Celtic rule and progress.

The 10 turns were over in no time...

1772: The last non-Celtic city on Earth, Yokohama, is discovered just East of Capua. With a cavalry unit at hand, the last defenders are defeated. Unfortunately, the city can't be captured yet.
With the domination of the entire planet at hand, the Druid makes plans to boost scientific progress.

1774: Yokohama falls, the government resigns.
1776: A Democratic government is formed.
1778: Labor Union discovered, research changed to Advanced Flight. A massive Temple construction initiative is started to keep the populace happy. Superfluous offensive units are disbanded.

- 1790: Advanced Flight, Combined Arms, Rocketry, Space Flight and Laser discovered, Superconductor being researched...
Apollo Program built in Rhymney.
Population approaches 65 million.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Waaaaaaahhhhhhh

You're kidding me. My turn, and no enemies to fight? And in order to kill any baddies I have to build a ship from scratch and land it within 10 turns?

OK, I love a challenge...

I should have it played by Sunday.

Blame JoeK!! He did it! ... OK, well, I did it a little too, since I could have built the Apollo Program a few turns earlier, but I forgot about it and rush built it in my last turn instead.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

1790: Six Thousand Year Old Man, still remarkably well preserved, attains the Presidency, and immediately begins contruction of a spaceship which will allow us to reach the Brr'til. Do they have things we need? Nope. Have they attacked us? Nope. Insulted us? Nope. It's 'just because' - although I note the Brr'til have a city called 'Kabul'.

Taxes adjusted to 5.3.2. Construction changed in some cities to SS Structurals/Components.

Brr'til learn Steam Engine.

1792: Superconductor discovered. Researching Fusion Power. Hey, who automated the Engineers? FESS UP! Treasury drained to purchase spaceship parts.

1794: Many SS parts built. Granaries sold (360 gold). Some barbarians get pasted near Turin. Taxes adjusted to 6.2.2.

Brr'til learn Railroad.

1796: Fusion Power discovered. Researching Recycling. Sewer Systems sold in 2 cities. Last SS parts rushbuilt, Celt seers having advised STYOM that a 1-1-1-8-8-33 spaceship will reach Alpha Centaurus, centre of the evil Brr'til empire, the fastest.

Brr'til learn Magnetism. 1 tech per turn, hmm.

1798: C.S.S. Cunobelin launched, estimated arrival 1803. Taxes readjusted to 4.4.2.

1799: Recycling discovered. Researching Stealth.

Brr'til learn Chemistry. The cheating alien p*****

1800: A year lacking in significance.

By some miracle, the Brr'til don't learn anything this turn.

1801: Stealth discovered. Researching Environmentalism.

Brr'til learn Industrialization.

1802: Environmentalism discovered. Researching Future Tech.

1803: C.S.S. Cunobelin lands. Ahh, 2 Colonists and 2 Marines... far too distant from the Brr'til to be of any use

1804: Future Technology discovered. Researching Ultrastring Theory. New Lisbon founded on Centaurus.

STYOM retires from the Presidency once again, frustrated that not a single shot was fired in anger.


*** cheat sheet - recall Ultrastring Theory cancels MC, so get ready for some major unrest. The Japanese continent is 'opposite' some major Brr'til territories, so that would be a good place to build some teleporters. ***

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Anyone else wanna take a turn or should I go again?

STYOM

[Mercator]

Thoth and makka seem to be out, so I´d say Hydey can go... I think he does wanna play, judging from his previous posts.

[Mercator]

I think these are the people left (although Hydey seems to be out as well)...
MBloomIII
Joek
Mercator
STYOM
Hydey

If Hydey, MBloomIII or JoeK (in that order) don't reply before the 29th, I'll play . It'll be a succession game for two then ...

Anyone still alive?

[MBloomIII]

I'm still playing.

I just happen to be traveling a lot over the last few months. I won't be back home until the 7th or 8th of December to play another turn. I'll just jump in wherever the game happens to be when I get back to my computer.

[JoeK]

Guess I should have checked this sooner... I thought there were still more people before it became my turn again.

So it's now back to me again? (that was quick).

If so, then I'll jump right on it.

Joe.

[JoeK]

Well, if it's my turn, then here's my go:

----------------------------------------------

1805
Discovered Ultrastring Theory, it cancels Michelangelo's Chapel & SETI. Next: Robotic Warfare.
Over 71,000,000 citizens.
Changed tax rate to 3 tax, 3 science, and 4 luxuries to compensate for losing Michelangelo's Chapel.

[Mercator]

Great everyone ... I'll be playing it tomorrow (something came up today, something like electrocution to be more specific I'm still alive and kicking I'm happy to say )

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Hey, a question... are we heading for conquest here? Because if we research Transcendence, I think the game ends. And then, no conquest
