Invasion Planet Earth

[Julius Brenzaida]

Scenario :
The people looked at the sky and saw the black death. Faceless inhuman vessels were swarming and blackening the very sun. Full of terror and full of rage the people began to run for useless shelters and started to realize that all the promises of the AI governements were sheer lies. Coming from Alpha Centauri, the Aliens were about to submit the blue planet.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Rules :
This is a succession game. Each player plays a number of turns and then sends the game to the next with a copy to me. Each player also writes a little story, telling what he has achieved. At the beginning, each player plays about 20 turns. It should go down to 10 after something like 1500ad and then go down to 5 when we fight against the AI.
No time limit is forced to play one’s turn. Of course, the faster, the better. What I asked is that one posts a message when he receives the game and indicates an estimated time for completion. Being to busy to play for a few days or even a week is ok, not telling those who are waiting is more questionnable. If you can’t post, just send a mail to me. If you can’t mail, well … nevermind.

Settings :
Test of Times / Extended Original / Deity / 7 civs / no Barbarians / maxiworld map of 143x229 and random Centauri map. Transcendance not allowed and talks between the Aliens and the human tribes always impossible (I hope I didn’t mess with the events.txt).
Edit : as the barbarians only appear on earth it would be favorable to us.
Remark : of course that the saved file will have to be put in the extended original directory.

I shall watch with interest - I've only played about three games of ToT so won't spoil it for others by asking for a seat. Godd luck all!

As the Aliens came out of the Centaurian seas to settle the planet, they first began to explore the promised land and to open the huts, discovering Archers, slaves who will help enforce martial law. Unfortunately the Island was small, very small with the place for only 2 or 3 large cities and there was only one hut !. Mapmaking will be a high priority. Hades’ Shrine was build in 3700 BC and Belzebuth Nest in 3600 BC. In 3400 Alphabet was discovered and in 3150 Code of Laws. Mapmaking is next. In 3000 BC no one would bet on the Aliens to invade earth in less than 5000 years !

Game played and sent to Sandmonkey. This one is going to be tough. There is some place in the north for a 3rd city.

This looks interesting. I will watch closely, looking for a reason to buy ToT.

Sorry Julius, I put it in the wrong folder This is if you don';t get my second e-mail...


I got the game. Once I finish I'll send it to Roman, and to Julius just for safe keeping.

The second millenia of life saw great strides in Alien life. Settlers ventured out from both Hades' Shrine and Belzebuth, both in search to make suitable land out of the nearby fields. By a great stroke of luck, it was discovered that a substance we call "wood" happens to float in our great seas. After a few tries, something we like to call a "boat" or "trireme" was built. Our settlers decided to take a chance and venture for new lands apon this vessel. Also, to honor those who have deceased, something we like to call Ceremonial Burial was developed. We are also strongly looking into a new form of government, a brash new idea many of the radicals are calling "Monarchy". It should be only a matter of time before this evelops the entire country... and a new king shall be proclaimed!

I watch in interest and salute your efforts!

Is there any chance of you guys posting the save files on a web site somewhere so that we kibitzers could take a closer look?

Great story and nice job Sandmonkey. I wonder if Hades has a shot at becoming an SCC. There’s still a location in the far north for a 3rd city, I think, but it can wait. Monarchy will be welcome. I hope we find some new land soon. May Poseidon help us.
Roman, it’s all up to you now.

Scouse Gits, your wisdom is almost legendary. As long as you don’ try to ICS it, you are most welcomed to join this game. I wish no ICS because even with rushbuilding, 200 shields units are hard to come by with size 2 cities.

Anyone interested ? just say so and I will e-mail you the saved files. (Already done for SG). I have no site and no time for now to think about making one.
