I think it's Scouse Gits.
How is the kingdom going ?

I would also say Scouse Gits is next. We didn't get a full complement of 10 players in this game.

Oh, well.

BTW. How did you feel the first segment of Dune went? I taped it and am going to tape the next two before watching it in its entirety.

Finished my 10 turns and forwarded to kcbob.Sure goes by quick.


Smashazuma’s first act upon his return was to call all Governers to the capitol.He demanded explanations.Since his departure on the Great Crusade only 4 new cities had been founded.He was dismayed by this and wanted answers.
And what was this new governent?Had not the Gods appointed HE as the leader?

“Have you forgotten the Gods???They must be appeased.YOU have brought their anger upon us!!!Allready we are threatened by foreign infidels.Soon they will arrive.And what shall we defend ourselves with?Without the Gods,we must surely perish at the hands of barbarians.
You are hereby ordered to return to your lands of control and immediately undertake appeasement of the Gods.You will do this in the Aztec way.It is the only way.

NOW GO!!!”

This seemed to work at first as it appeared appeasement had been won and much celebrating took place.However this was shortlived as population grew to the point the the mother earth could no longer sustain it.This was caused by the citzens celebrating instead of working their feilds of maze.We had become, once again, the largest nation.

It was decided that new settlement would be the top priority.Malinalco,Tula,Tamuin and East Lake were established.The latter actually being in the west following some bizarre ancient ritual.A distant tribe was assimilated into the growing empire and named Teayo

It was also decided that only by a return to 1 leader could the God’s praise be re-established.And so,in 60 AD,Smashazuma was reinstalled as sole power.The governers were sacrificed unto the Sun God.

Soon after, all the foreign infidel peoples declared war on the Aztec nation.The so called allied Babylonians immediately abandoned their commitment fulfilling Smashazuma’s fear of non God appeasement.He was able to contain the aggression with some skillful diplomacy however the Germans remained steadfast in their desire to rid the earth of our worthless civilization.
The Russians had begun a great observatory which threatened Smashazuma’s dream of great center of high thought.

In a somewhat incoherent speech,given on the steps of the palace itself,Smashazuma muttered something about size 5,size 5 and once again departed for lands unknown.This left the empire in a rather unstable situation.He had failed to appoint someone to sit in power during his absence.

Great expansion Smash - I fear I was forced to be too Wondrocentric - how big are the cities?

Did I do that?

[Smash]

Not too big.I think there are 4 or 5 at size 5 and 6.Everything else is 4 or less.

[kcbob]

I've finished my turn and will now forward on to Julius. The annals will be forthcoming on Monday. For now, let this era be known as Pax Azteca!!

BTW. Perfection City just built Copernicus' Observatory.

[Smash]

I don't know how you managed that but I'm sure glad you did.Very good!

[kcbob]

Well, one way was by taking 15 turns. Was I supposed to only take 10?

[Julius Brenzaida]

Thanks Kcbob, I have received the game.
But some conflict with my computer is resulting in a big "FORMAT (ALMOST) EVERYTHING" and as for now, my beloved Civ2 isn't re-installed. I got some sideshow problems with Bill's products. Does this surprise anybody ?
Anyway,I will update you on the situation before the end of the week and if things keep on looking bleak for my W95 and NT, I'll pass my turn.
If I can play, how many turns for king Julius, 10 or 15 ?

Man, bummer about your PC. Hope it gets resolved quickly and completely.

As for the number of moves, I thought the drop to 10 moves wasn't until around 1500 AD. As it was, my first 10 were so uneventful that another 5 didn't seem too unreasonable. I'd say, plan on 15 unless you really start to rock and roll, i.e., build a couple of wonders, wipe out an AI civ, and start building the spaceship.
