Invasion Planet Earth

[[LordLMP]]

Did you hack something to get the AI to build lot more cities then expected?

Game played (late at night :eek

Quite a disaster - we must be very far behind in technology, as all the wonders for which we don't even have technologies have been built by the AI already. I have founded about 5 new cities. Our science takes 6 turns per discovery, so we have only acquired Medicine, Sanitation and something else. Currently the Alien civilization is researching University. I have managed to loose the race to build SoL in favour of the Russians.

After his pathetic rule, Roman was kicked out by his own subjects on charges of incompetence and failing nation.

Just to make it clear. Sandmonkey and Roman have played their turns, but Sandmonkey hasn't post his story yet. It's now Zulu Elephant's turn.

[Zulu Elephant]

Ok, ive got the game
Ill play it later tonight
Hmm 20 turns to turn it around - I think Ill be remembered as the greatest ruler of all time...

[SandMonkey]

Sorry for the delay in my story, the net wasn't working for me last night

The reign of SandMonkey was quiet, except for the AI building some wonders. I built 4(?) cities (heh i think i will stop using specific numbers, I can't remember any specs ). I did get to Democracy, but after testing to try and get the 1 turn revolution (i had to revert to the auto_sav's). In the process I found that nearly half of the cities would revolt, and the cities that had the boats would need some serious elvii, so in my opinion, it was just better to work straight through in Republic, which was working like a well oiled machine. Maybe a future leader can get our proud, but lagging nation, into the right spot for democracy.

Saved files sent to you SG. Don't worry for the Aliens. We're going to win. Once a spaceship has landed, there is no time limit. We don't have to conquer the world before 2020ad.

NEWSFLASH . . . . .

The Aliens are no longer Pathetic - Official

In a surprise announcement today the Senate revealed that the Alien nation had been officially rated as Weak, having successfully surpassed the German people - although in 'other news' it was reported that the Germans had attained 45 Technologies to compare with our current total of 31.
The other non-fungal so-called civilizations are all also in Republic except for the unworthy Spanish whose sickly federation of 43 cities moulders in Monarchy.
Only the English have, like the Spanish, surpassed our mighty nation in terms of numbers of cities. However, due mainly to their immense overcrowding even such inadequate peoples as the Japanese with only 13 cities still have a greater population than us.

. . . . . . . more ...

Woops - I just got 7 Barbarian Horse from an Alpha 'hut' - if my brand new Omsghawk had not been in the offing they would have made mincemeat of my lovely (but pathetically defended) sleaze.
My settings are ToT Extended / Deity / 7 civs / Raging / random (large) worlds - I'm lying 3rd at 1200 and have the Gardens (only) but with high hopes of SoL -- I'm researching Demo and have caravans ready - no AI has yet started SoL ...

If huts are allowed, barbarians can also appear on the alien map.
Read my report of the GWaTS. Thats what I mean. Only tip huts after founding a city nearby (hut within cityradius, I read this somewhere in the apolyton forums, posted by Ribannah I think).

What I meant is that they are no native revolts in Alpha Centauri, even with raging hordes. You won't find barbarians, except in huts. With RH they would only disturb the AI, and my idea was to give ourselves a good challenge. I think I've reached my goal and that the AI is going to be more competitive than usual.
