If you really screw up like that we could probably get SG to "accidentally" send out an old save again.

I rewrote history then !
I'm going to reread my HG Wells.

Well played SG, you fooled me then with some wrong game, or to be precise with some wrong time. 500 bc did seem early for a 2nd reign, but I didn't think about it enough.

Dave, You might want to look at this thread in the Creation forum: http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum4/HTML/001055.html

LOL!

I'm going to give Andemagne about another hour to respond. I just received another succession game from Scouse Gits so I'll whip that one out first.

Back in a bit.

* edit *

I lied. The other game I received was actually sent to Smash to play. I merely received a "courtesy copy". Therefore, with apologies to Andemagne, I'll proceed with this one now.

Andemagne, when you resurface, I'm sure whoever is next will be happy to let you jump in front of them in the "succession" to get back in the swing of things. And now...

let's get conquering!!!

Finished and sent to ScouseGits.

In the year 1540, the leadership of our great empire was turned over to kcbob, the Unworthy One. As he surveyed the kingdom, he saw that his predecessors had decided on a spiritual course of action, a Fundamentalist approach to governing. kcbob saw no reason to alter this course.

Thus, a holy Jihad was begun against the accursed Persians. In the end, their capitol, Persepolis, home of the Great Library, was taken. Great was the loss to our own forces and the names of the brave crusaders will long be remembered. Even so, the Persian empire now lays before our feet, its soft underbelly ripe for conquering or bribing.

And to that end, a great building campaign was begun. While the coffers of the empire were overflowing with gold due to the tithes being received, kcbob was filled with greed and began to erect marketplaces in as many cities as he could. Visions of coinage danced in his head, and perhaps that was what led to his downfall.

But before kcbob retired, the eastern reaches of the kingdom began to open. Numerous Sioux cities were also incited to rebellion and, thus, joined our mighty cause. It is only a matter of time before the remainder see the light.

And on the horizon, a fierce warlike nation that call themselves the Kelts were found in the north. Together with a strange orange-clad civilization in the southeast, these will pose a great challenge for the rulers who follow.

On his deathbed, with his dying breath, kcbob uttered one last question for the ages... "What the heck is with all those automaticized carvans???"

In response to the save I sent to Andemagne I got the following reply:

quote: sorry, can't play. for some technical reasons I cant post to apolyton so could you please post there and tell that I'm aveilable from 14th (sunday) of january onwards.

So he should be able to play again next week.

… we interrupt this broadcast for a newsflash from the Presidium at The Gigapool People's Centre ...

Solemn music being played …

Today, 9 January 1760, at around 03.30 hrs, IRONCLAD ONE was feared lost in a sudden gale off the Cape of Zimbabwe. All passengers are believed to have been lost, including both Gits. Our leaders were fellow travellers to take the salute of the cadets at The People's War Academy, recently liberated from the Zulus in Ulundi.

In a controversial reign of Communist scientific advancement and expansion the Gits modernised the rich but scientifically impoverished Fundamentalist Empire they inherited during the previous Century. Both advocated "Xinning", at the expense of surplus food for workers. In true Communist style they set about their Two-Year Plan, for a new advance every other year. This was more than achieved with the research of 8 techs, aided by Comrade Darwin's Voyage. (Chemistry/Steam Engine/Railroad/Explosives/Economics/Industrialisation/Communism/Espionage) The Presidium Beaker Chief expects The Corporation to be a reality in 1764.

In the field of foreign relations the Gits believed in Gunboat Diplomacy. Persia was their first target for desctruction. However, they did build the United Nations, not so much for diplomacy - but more for intelligence about the opposing powers. (Well what else do you do with a dozen surplus food caravans?) They also acquired the Wonders of Adam Smith (capitalists at heart!), The Pyramids and Sun Tzu. They conquered and bribed 18 cities whilst destroying one. 17 new cities were founded during their tenancy of Gigapool Centre.

The Presidium is pleased to announce it will erect a stone overlooking the water in Zimbabwe Bay where the Gits perished. It will have the simple but touching inscription: "Ulundi 27 miles".......

I think Julius is the next leader of the masses .. ?

[Scouse Gits]

Andemagne ... would you like me to send you this game? We have reached 1760.

Julius - all the games always seem to arrive at one time! We may be able to have one or two people playing before Sunday - I will make sure you don't miss out.

Andemagne has not responded after 24 hours so perhaps he is still unable to play.

Dave would you like to play next and then send to Julius for Sunday?

Then Paul will be after Julius, then kcbob. If Andemagne surfaces we will fit him in!

Let's just stick with the regular order - I won't have much time for the game this weekend anyway.

[Scouse Gits]
