I think we've also learned that the holiday season is not conducive to playing a succession game.

The SGs getting into red wine

[Smash]

Finished my turns and then some.I went 20 turns for no apparent reason.It just flew by.Thats either 5 or 10 too many.It'll have to do.I only have 1 save.


State of the Union

Our civ was showing warning signs of trouble ahead.We were fast becoming a nation of Elvi'.Our population was low and unhappy.Our science was ok at squeezing 7 turns but would not last.Embassys revealed we were about to fall behind.Financially we were near collapse.Treasury was at 33 gold and only 1 gold net income


Remedy
It was noted that we were in possesion of Monotheism.It was decided that happiness and government reform would be the only priorities.
For this taxes were increased to max and scientists were replaced by tax collectors.Part 2 saw heavy incremental rushbuying.This resulted in Mich's Chapel being built followed by an oedo year switch to Republic.Celebrating commenced but with limited success.I guess the riot factor was the problem as not even the capitol would celebrate past 7 despite a market,bank,3 trade routes and Mich's Chapel.No units away either.Not even at 80% luxuries

After this "short term loss for long term gain" program,science was resumed.This, with huts and exchanges brought the empire Theology,Feudalism,Medicine,University,Gravity,Eng ineering,Invention and Magnetism.The latter found in a hut(before Invention) killing our Lighthouse.We are currently researching Gunpowder.

During this period incremental rushing continued and resulted in JSB and Leo's Workshop being added to our nation.Sir Isaac's should be ours also as long as it kept a top priority.Other nations have just begun construction of it.

Several new colonies were founded and are expected to flourish.Unfortunately the outpost of Zit fell into Barbarian hands.

Our Republic is still 4th in population but we are running 5 or 6 turns for tech.Or 300+ gold per turn.At this point no luxuries are required and I hope the "we love" problem can be over come soon.

We ended the session just taking over top spot on the powergraph.

[kcbob]

Smash, if I make the roster out correctly, I think you would send this to me next. If you have, you must have sent it to my work email. If I'm truly the next one in the barrel, send it to kcbob49@hotmail.com. That's my playing email address.

Thanks.

In the year 1420 AD, our nation was at peace with the world. Perfection City was the envy of the world! Every city in our empire was at peace. And then… kcbob XIV rose to power.

In 1440, it was learned that every other power in the world knew the secret of Bridge Building. Not to be outdone, we traded with Carthage, obtaining both Bridge Building and Chemistry. While this cost us a delay of one additional turn in our own research, the gain from two advancements and the upgrading of our caravels to galleons was deemed worth the delay. In the west, to offset the threat posed by the barbarian city of Zit, Oxy-5 was founded.

In 1460, after much debate by our leaders, it was decided to send a galleon laden with goods to Moscow, a strange city located at the far corner of the world. The anticipated wealth to be obtained from this endeavor will hopefully swell the empire's coffers.

In 1480, Carthage built King Richard's Crusade, the fools! Let them waste their energy on a transient, local wonder. We shall show them!!! (It was during this time that kcbob XIV began to undergo psychotherapy) Also this year, a diplomat set sail for Germany, hoping to bribe one of their few cities.

In 1500, the city of Shawnee Mission was founded.

The year 1510 brought a great step forward in our empire's history. Gunpowder was discovered! Let the enemies of the empire attack us now!! We will crush them!!! Ha ha ha!!! (More psychotherapy) Steam Engine was selected as the next research topic.

Our infiltrators let it be know that in the year 1520, the Carthaginians were on the verge of completing Sir Isaac's College. Therefore, everyone's attention in the empire was turned to completing this wonder in Perfection City. Praise be to our ancestors for their foresight in providing caravans for this purpose!!!

As a result, in 1530, Sir Isaac's was completed in Perfection City!!! A new university was begun to further increase the knowledge pouring out of that great metropolis. But, alas, the Carthaginians completed Adam Smith's, much to the chagrin of kcbob XIV.

In 1540, a nomad was found wandering in the north. He begged asylum and it was granted with the understanding that he would found a city nearby.

1550 saw more psychotherapy for kcbob XIV, sadly without the desired results.

For in 1560, after the secret of the Steam Engine was discovered, after the advisors counseled for research concerning a Great Iron Horse (i.e., Railroad) with the purpose of undertaking a great voyage under the leadership of one Charles Darwin, after the city of Seven Hills was founded, after Perfection City South almost came to fruition near Cempola, kcbob XIV made his last decision as regent of the empire. With a diplomat from Oxy-5, the city of Zit was popped, bribed if you will, and the barbarian threat ended in the south.

kcbob XIV, seeing his time to rule had run its course, walked out of the palace one beautiful spring day, ostensibly to pick some fresh flowers for his new bride, and was never seen again.

11 turns played. This game is just great. It was tough not to get carried away as Smash did. History follows. Game sent to Scouse Gits (I suppose Muab Dib is definitively out of it now).

[Julius Brenzaida]

1570 AD. KJ4 is elected president. He decides on a new plan called STEp forward (Science, Trade, Expansion). Universities and marketplaces are to be build, trade has to be made with foreign and distant countries and new cities are to be found. Only time will answer the deadly question : “can he do it all ?”. Fishermen Town and Iqaluit are founded. German Cities reveal themselves much too expensive for diplomatic offensive. Production of Ironclads begins, to rule the sea, too.
1580 AD. 1st problem Barbarians crusaders against cities of Teayo and Coyotepec. They seem impossible to defend. May the brave musketeers prove us wrong !
1600 AD. Diplomats debark on the southern edge of German continent on a suicide mission. Musketeers defeat Barbarians crusaders ! 150 pieces of gold in the adventure. In the following years, huts yield more gold.
1610 AD. City of Sylvanissima is founded. Discovery of Railroads. Industrialization is next.
1630 AD. Advanced city of Itzapalapa discovered (size 4) in new continent. As it is badly located, KJ4 plans to disband it. A perfect site is near ! Finally diplomats gets to an island south of the hated Germans in search of advanced tribes.
1640 AD. 1st ironclad is launched. It immediately heads toward foreign shores, with “peaceful intentions”.
1650 AD. Industrialization is discovered. Democracy is next. Sigundsfjordur is founded.
1680 AD. KJ4 suddenly fell sick and immediately understood his end was near. He’d spent so much energy everywhere that living long was not an option for him. On his deathbed, he declared : “This word is so rich 70x7 lives would not suffice to admire it all. May I see the whole scene from the other side”. And he died with a smile on his face as broad as a giga continent.
