Silly Rules succession game

[-Jrabbit]

Try hitting the "Arrange Tiles" option in the View menu.

I think our best shot at winning is to capture a happiness WoW. To have a temple, marketplace, and a WoW in a city and still have it in disorder -- very diescouraging. All those possible production points tied up in the 20 - 30% extra Lux really adds up! (or, more accurately, subtracts down...)

And yes, the need for Navigation grows stronger with each turn. Our ability to explore and trade must be improved.

IMHO, maximum cleverness will be required to win this one.

It works !
I reread the rules and play NOW

Happens to me every time I open a PC-based save on my Mac. Cool to hear it's a 2-way street.

/me is perversely delighted at the lengths people will go to to avoid his silly rule.

Almost 1400 AD and we just learned Republic? uh oh This is starting to remind me of my very first Civ game, in which the Babylonians used nukes on my Phalanges.

Once a month, much better, IMO

Magellan in sight !

Main events:

1400: Revolution
1420: Switch to Republic; 2 Sioux horsemen land close to Monty Python (we sell the temple inside)
1440: Sioux take Monty Python
1460: Our smiling diplomat breaks LF's rule and buys the city back (cost: 37g; income: 10g + 2 horsemen + 1 TECH TO BE CHOSEN BETWEEN: Astro, Mono, Myst, Navig, Philo, Pott, Seaf)
We choose Navigation and start dreaming about Magellan: we have 3 camels, which means 5 needed.
Research to ZERO (too bad: we were 2 turns from the Wheel; but Magellan would be so wonderful !)
1480: Revolution (well, we had to, thank you Mr atawa
)
1500: Switch to Despo and we go on building camels as fast as we can.
1530: French cancel alliance (and our whole fleet gets stuck in Old Chuckles because of LF's rule ); revolution (well, we had to )

Magellan can be completed within 2 turns if my successor breaks LF's rule with one camel.

I WOULD BE HAPPY IF THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE MAGELLAN MEANS 5 MOVES CARAVELS AND ... FREEDOM !

[La Fayette]

I mean freedom from my own rule, of course.
But this means freedom to sail anywhere and that would be great .

Here's the save (from 1550, sorry , I didn't notice that 'always wait at end of turn' wasn't in action)

So we’re looking at Bob_Smurf42, atomant, & me -- play fast guys 'cause I’ll be out of pocket for a week starting this weekend.

[Bob_Smurf42]

My turn?
Alright, I'll play later today...

[atomant]

ARGHHHHH!!!!!

My Lap Top (computer) has been stolen, count me out until i can get another, kill the culprit and get Civ reloaded in all its glory.

[Bob_Smurf42]

That sucks, atomant; best of luck getting it back,
Anyway, the log:

Pre-turn
--Change Beeblebrox to Magellan's
1560
--New Chuckles settler->dip
1570
--IGNORE La Fayette's rule and move camel diagonally into Beeblebrox
--REVOLT!
1580
--Pick Monarchy
1590-1600(not sure about the date here)
--Discover The Wheel, pick Banking
--Beeblebrox builds Magellan's Expedition->Courthouse
1610
--Fright wig is Xinning
--REVOLT!
1620
--Old Chuckles temple->caravel
--Pick Republic
1630
--Change taxes to fix disorder in ALL cities
1640
--Nothing important
1650
--REVOLT!

The settler with the camel is going toward Monty Python's temple, unless it's been paid for already.
New Chuckles has two triremes that can now(Well, for a while now, but I forgot) be moved.
