With much trepidation

El General Isimo Supremo surveys the empire empirically and decides to have a coffee.

AD620. Press enter

Starts playing

AD640 Decide not to alter tax rate. Monty Python builds Trireme, does a triangular thingee and discovers absolutely nothing. Wonders how to make the large quest to the French without sinking??? Monty Python changes to building Library. Second Trireme moves towards New Chuckles in order to load settler and build city on French soil. Hairy warrior on French soil moves south in effort at exploration. Trireme on French continent proceeds NW and stops for a cup of Nescafe continental blend.

AD660 Bozo commission diplomat. Changes to Warrior to ensure peace in city. Trireme on French continent moves SW this time. Discards desire for a continental blend and decides French roast for morning tea would be sufficient. Warrior on French continent moves south after getting whiff of French city. After all everyone knows the French only bath once a week, whether they need to or not. Move settler building road from Chuckles to Trireme. Trireme with settlers moves NW, trying to find short cut to the French. Settler near Bozo builds irrigation whilst waiting for all expenses paid cruise ship to arrive. Settler near Goodie builds irrigation on shield special.

AD680 Rush buy Warrior in New Chuckles to avoid disorder next turn. Various units explore as per movement limitations. Change Wabbit dipo to archer in order to avoid disorder. We discover bridge building. Going alphabetically am forced to pick feudalism.

Trieme attacked by barbs/pirates near Bozo. T survives, five enemy destroyed.

AD700 Explore a bit more, park damage Trireme in Bozo pending repairs. Move settlers near Fright Wig onto boat. Move boat NW in effort to settle French continent. Zulus abandon Great Library, start on Mikes place.


AD720 Civil disorder in Goodie and Bozo (provides penance for grievous error of judgement) hires entertainer rumour to provide gyrating pelvis in order to lull crowds into hypnotic trance. Bozo builds Warrior, change to settler. Wabbit builds archer, changes production to additional settler.


AD740 Leiden builds diplomat. Change production to marketplace. Move diplomat to New Chuckles. More exploring as per unit movement rules. Decide to ignore LF rule and move Trireme vertically for one turn to arrive on French soil. Change library to marketplace in Beeblebrox. Change tiles in some cities to maximise shields. T arrives and unloads.

AD760 French develop republic. Move settlers. Found new city named Silly Walks on French continent. Fortify exploring warrior in Silly Walks. Replace to entertainers in Bozo with two scientists. Discoveries every eight turns. Move trireme and dipo in Bozo towards new chuckles. Send emissary to French. Give them bridge building to keep alliance. Ask to swap technology and pick Poly for iron working.

AD780 Beeblebrox builds Marketplace, changes to Warrior. Move units to explore, improve terrain.

AD800 New Chuckles builds warrior, switches production to Marketplace.

AD820 Sioux nearly complete Great Library. Beeblebrox builds warrior, switches production to Library.

AD840 Over to the next victim…. Sorry for the mess.

[bad joke mode]Gosh, I would have expected Castle Aaaaaargh to be founded first near the French - unless you've already got some missionaries there [/bad joke mode]

Do the French know Trade? I was hoping they would...?

Nothing quite like draconian capital punishment

Just working off the top of my head with WoWs of each cost (200=3, 300=5, 400=6, 600=9). Anything that primarily and directly affects happiness of citizens needs sacrifice. I couldn't remember if Shake's was 300 or 400, and I clean fergot about CfC. I rarely build Police Stations because when playing solo the AI rarely gets WS, and these games rarely stay Rep/Dem into the modern age.

Give those Police live ammo for the war protests!

You did have a revolution every 4 turns didn't you?



RJM at Sleepers

[atomant]

Uhoh..... (revolution) I actually made a concsious effort to note the time of the revolution....

Having checked my turn log, it is evident that did not happen. Does the penalty still involve a bad joke..... or will a slap across the face with a over ripe herring do the trick?

[atomant]

I was trying the think of that particlar castle.... but couldn't for the life of me remember the name. All I could remember about the Holy Grail was the 'Rabbit' and the Knight of Ne....

Perhaps I should have used the holy hand grenade to try and motivate my osfied brain cells

Well, first you must bring us a shrubbery.
Then bring us another shrubbery.
Then cut down the tallest tree in the forest with....A HERRING!

About the trip to France,(I think only 3 turns, not 4?) I don't use black-clicking, so I figured that since
a. we need to find the other civs ASAP,
b. whichever way I went out could be either safe or unsafe,
c. the warrior and trireme could be easily replaced, and
d. I have good luck with triremes not sinking,
I decided to risk it. Since everyone seems to be worried about it, I won't do it again. It's just that I rarely have triremes sink on me, so I got a little bold/cocky/arrogant/stupid.

[Straybow]

Ack! Just realized that I'm up! Will try to get started tonight, should finish sometime Wednesday night.

Hey - If it works, keep doing it (but let me know which Lotto numbers you pick).

RJM at Sleepers

[atomant]

I don't play lotto, to much of a risk. I once worked out the probability of winning the lotto. Not worth the hassle. As a banker, my advice to you is go into herring future, its going to take quite a number to chop down the tree once I get round to deliverying the shubbery.

The warrior was already over there, I risked the boat and settlers on the basis that our home continent was full. Yup I was bold/cocky/arrogent and that probably equals stupid.

I am usually lucky with T's and am not adverse to using luck if it goes my way. Of course, if I failed I would have expected everyone to say why in the name of Brian did you do that for. (My answer would have been 'because he's not the messiah, he's just a naughty boy')

The shubbery is in the mail....

[atawa]

I'll skip my turn if you dont mind, I make long hours at the moment so my civ time is limited.

Apologies for the delay

[Old n Slow]

So we waiting for Straybow, ... to followed by Jrabbit & La Fayette.
