2000 - 1600 BC
Ah, we've moved to another forum. If I'd thought about it earlier, I would have considered it almost a sacrilege to categorise the original Civilization as one of the "Other Games". This place makes much more sense. It's a bit quiet around here, but we're used to that. (In fact, I'm using the plural here just to keep me company.)
1980 BC - Alexander, Ramesses and Napoleon want techs from us, but don't get anything.
1960 BC - Our diplomat visits a tribal village and learns the secrets of Mathematics.
1940 BC - Byzantium builds settler and starts on temple.
1920 BC - Lighthouse built in Thebes (Egypt)
1860 BC - Rome builds temple and starts on Colossus.
1840 BC - Romans discover Literacy, start researching Trade.
1740 BC - Nicopolis finishes granary, starts on temple.
1660 BC - Another conference call with Alexander, Ramesses and Napoleon. We trade Mathematics to the Greeks in return for Iron Working. The others don't have anything for sale.
1620 BC - Byzantium finishes temple and starts on Colossus. Rome switches from Colossus to library. Settlers near Byzantium have irrigated the horse tile and mined the coal tile, so the city has excellent production capabilities.
General developments:
- We are almost ready to switch governments. Temples are constructed in several cities and a few settlers have started to irrigate grasslands to speed growth in order to quickly recover the production lost to support.
- Our exploring diplomat has not yet discovered foreign cities but revealed a huge lake south east of Byzantium. There are coal mines in the west and rivers in the south of that lake offering attractive city sites for our next round of expansion.
- When that happens, Byzantium will become the geographic centre of the empire and we might consider moving the capital there (particularly if me manage to get the Colossus before someone else does).
