Giga map succession game??

[Paul]

I received the game and will play tomorrow.

AD 400 sent to Andemagne and SG1.

At the start of his reign King Paul II noticed that we had many cities at the edge of disorder, so he ordered temples to be built in these cities after they finished their current build orders. Paul II also sent out caravans to establish trade routes with the Persian cities. Their return was small, but the long-term effects should be worth the effort.

Paul II traded for seafaring with the Persians, researched engineering and discovered astronomy, republic, navigation and banking in ruins of ancient civilizations. Giga scientists are currently researching invention.

Paul II found that we didn't need too much more cities, so only two new cities were settled during his reign; more to decrease the support burden on the settlers' home cities than for any other reasons. The new king also build the first ship and sent it out to explore with two diplomats on board to establish embassies with other civilizations they might discover.

Other than that the reign of Paul II was pretty un-eventful, so future generations will most likely not name him as one of the greatest rulers in Giga-history. In the year 400 AD the reign of Paul II ended with his death.

Four techs from huts! Nice exploring, Paul. Hmmm, researching invention, and banking from a hut. Do I foresee a great Statue in the Giga future?

I'm having a xmas holiday, and I don't have
time nor computer to play, so SG and Paul sent
the savegame to player whos next.

[lament]
when I received the game for the first time,
I played and sented it forward to maud'dib and SG.
maud'dib didn't have time to play and it seems that
SG didn't receive my savegame. so when SG sented the
latest savegame to Julius, he sented the same file
that I received, so my all ready played 20 turns
were erased. all my hard work is now gone.
why this allways happens to me?
[/lament]

BTW Congrats to Julius for building Hangin' Gardens.

Hot damn!! It's my turn in the barrel!! Bring it on, baby!!

Hope I don't sound too excited. It seems like ages since I last had a turn in a succession game. And bummer about your lamentable fortunes, Andemagne. Hope the next time around we get things squared away.

Save forwarded to kcbob

Game received. Talk about quick turnaround! Thanks, Paul. I'll try to get on it tonight. That might be a little difficult as number one sone rolled into town last night and we're celebrating Christmas tonight. Worst case, I should be able to crank it out tomorrow morning.

And now... into the breach!!!

Abject apologies Andemagne - these games are more than a little tricky to keep track of. It may have been a non-receipt or I may simply have posted the wrong game - if the latter again my apologies...

Happy New Year all

Oh my God, it is moving so fast now … I guess you would have to be a deity to play at this pace, not a King or a Prince (see no-ICS MGE topic). And I’m only in 2 sucession games. I’d never played ICS before, it is time to learn. Good job SG ! I’m not familiar with the Xin Cities, what’s that ? Saint Bob and Scougeopolis ? (note to self : never intend any pun when not speaking your mothertongue, argh : too late).
Anyway, game received and I will play it tomorrow.

Game played and sent to Dave V. Sorry, I didn’t play very well. Lost one city and could not force myself to make the size 5 strategy work properly. ICS is too tough for me, I really prefer Perfectionism or OCC. But I haven’t screwed it all. Dave, you will have to decide between Communism and Fundamentalism. Also, the Persians have discovered Monotheism. It could be stolen or exchanged …
And BTW, will we ever see the end of this incredibly large continent ?
