Wanted: players for new OCC succession games

[Scouse Gits]

I think the first millennium is traditional - but ask Paul, not I?

[Daddy-O]

I am not the keeper of the rules, but I think last OCC Succession we played 10 ten turns before passing the game. Is that the 1st Millennium? I guess it would be.

Right then, 10 turns unless told otherwise.

Should we finalise the lists and then break this into 2 threads?

[Smash]

looks fine to me.Now, to set the odds and take wagers.

[Paul]

SG(2), if you want to join you can be the 6th player in the MGE game. Then we'd have 6 players on both games.

[Scouse Gits]

OK Paul - I'm in! Now where did I put my copy of the Paulicy?

TEAM MGE

4000 BC We have Bronze Working, Ceremonial Burial, Iron Working, Mysticism and ... Warrior Code . Full of enthusiasm, the Carthagian Settlers explore their surroundings ...
3950 BC Terrain looks very bad after all! Not even a second special . We decide to move further into the unkown black, even though chances are we are just giving the other team a huge headstart
3900 BC Another silk, but in large forest
3800 BC Finally, a hut: N-Chariot. We sight a buffalo near more open terrain
3700 BC Wheat! This looks more like it
3550 BC Wow, another hut. We get 50 gold. Our Chariot sees a decent spot with river, whales and another buffalo, but it's a long walk for our Settlers. The wheat/buffalo spot may have more to offer, even though the city square is hills. We take a gamble and have one of our Settlers irrigate the Buffalo.
3450 BC Silk discovered, this looks like home (4 specials). First Settlers arrive and start to mine the hills on the intended city square
3300 BC Buffalo irrigated
3150 BC Our Chariot pops another hut: 50 gold. Carthage founded at (59,11) (Silk, Wheat, 2 Buffalo, no rivers, probable ocean access). We start building Settlers. First research goal is Alphabet. Because of the hills research will be slow for the time being, so we intend to grow to size 3 asap.
3000 BC N-Settlers complete mining the hills on the city square
2750 BC The Lady Ribannah leaves her Carthagian citizens in good health. May they forever prosper!

Note to successor: the Settlers built won't disband the city (they can join after the city hits size 2 - watch the happiness, there is a way ).

Challenge to Team 2.42: to found the city on a different location (hey, we came here first! )

Edit: zipped save sent to kcbob and Paul

Turn completed through 1950 BC and sent to Julius.

In the second millennium of our great people’s history, one came forth to lead the people. A man of vision, albeit 20-200 vision, his name was kcbob. As he looked over the land and the city, he was frustrated. The gods had decreed that only one city would ever be built and it’s beginnings were slow.

As kcbob began to make decisions which would set the nation’s course forever, the last two of his predecessor’s decisions, Ribbanah the Magnificent, brought fruition. A settler was trained and the Alphabet was discovered. This last event merely showed just how Ribbanah earned her place in history since she was able to set down her history before learning to write.

Be that as it may, Code of Laws was chosen for futher research as the people clamored for a king (or queen ). And realizing that we would have only one city throughout eternity, the people began to build a big. No wait, make that a large. No, I think it should be an extra large. How about a huge? No, I have it… a Colossus!!! Yes, a Colossus so that knowledge might increase.

But in the very next season, unhappiness swept over the nation. The people’s spiritual well-being had been neglected. With no other recourse, the big, large, extra large, huge, Colossus was torn down, a temple erected and before you could say “Waaahh”, unhappiness was no more. The Colossus was begun anew, buffalos irrigated, chariots sent searching, and all was well with the world. We had music. We had rhythm.

Who could ask for anything more?

[kcbob]

Crimenently! I just realized I was supposed to play through 1500 BC. AARRGGHH!!

I bequeath my extra turns to Julius. He may need them considering our slow start.

I went back and read your, um, prophecy and I must confess that that option never even occurred to me. Oh, well, we're set for a while anyway.
