Hellenistic Age Scenario Succession Game

[La Fayette]

Andemagne
Here is the translation:
'I don't remember whether people in Rovaniemi speak swedish or finnish.
If you drive north from Rovaniemi, you come to Karasjok, where you can meet norwegian speaking people. If you drive north from Karasjok, you come to Alta where my first wife lived before we got married, and that was a very long time ago.'

[Scouse Gits]

Gentle bump ...
where's it at people?

SG[1]

[Julius Brenzaida]

Good question Scouse Gits [1]
If you want I can join and play, but I am a bit reluctant (is that an english word) to do it so far in the game.
Otherwise, shouldn't it be Andemagne

[Andemagne]

ok, here goes...

[Andemagne]

and here's what happened (in short):

*15 new cities (11 conquered, 4 build)
*epygtians started a war
*trie to sell all of those useless city cousils and
rhetoric schools.
*briped "a few" parthian cavalrys
(don't wöri, we still have LOTS of Gold)
*tried to organice the empire put I was unable
to reach what I wanted.....

dunno, to me the game looked kinnda messy,
maybe thats because this is a succession, and
when your turn comes you have try to figure out
whats happening and where..... ...but you can't


And LaFayette: sori that I screamed at you like that.
it was not the first time somebody tells me that people
in Rovaniemi speak swedish or norwegean.
karasjoki and alta are in norway, far, far north from rovaniemi.
is it true that your married to norwegean girl?

[Scouse Gits]

Thanks Andemagne - sounds like a good turn -- yes it is very difficult to pick up a succession game and not find that it has gone in a totally different direction than that in which you had carefully pointed it -- but this does add a certain something to the efforts -- perhaps we might try a future succession game in which we have a short (emphasize short) discussion between turns to formulate a strategy for the next turn and then in one's own turn you have to try and stick to that strategy???

1) Yes, I married the norwegian girl (very precisely in Oslo), but we didn't live in Alta after that (very precisely in Paris).
2) Yes, Alta is far north from Rovaniemi: I remember throwing snowballs there...in August .
3) IIRC there is a region of Finland where people mostly speak swedish ( isn't it around Turku?). That's why I asked.

SG[1]

That would be a kind of demo game IMO, and I would vote against it. Much of the fun in a succession game is the surprise when you have look at how bad the previous leader really was , and the necessity to define a new strategy to try and repair the terrific consequences of his mistakes.
(of course, I don't speak about troika here )

1) say Hi! to her from me, will you?

2) I've been throwing snow balls in june, but
not any more in august.

3) people living on those islands near maariananhamina
(south west from turku) speak swedish.
in Lappland second languege is Saami. it's a "relative"
languege to finnish (like spanish and italian to french).

yup! don't you just hate it when you discover that
the player before you have build wrong kind of units,
or lost lots of unit, or haven't build that road what was
needed, or have sold some city improvements that
you felt needed, or something else stupid.

well I know that that's the whole idea behind succession
games, that's what makes them more realistic.
I wonder how the german leader who's turn came
after WW2 felt?

maybe somekind of "father and son" kind of discussion
should be had? (reigning king telling his successor how
to be a good king(?)) dunno.

BTW: is someone/who is playing the game?

IMO it should be his majesty King Antigonus Sodak
(the only king I know who has ALSO been elected president )

[Julius Brenzaida]

Perhaps that the Gits should say what Antigonus Sodak cannot do. Is there some sacking left
Does anyone remember the "Rhodes" affair
It is the fun of succession game

As for Rhodes - I will abandon the city so that the AI can retake it.

Actually, I hadn't started playing because Andemagne followed me this cycle... Remember that he had to delay his turn? I will play unless SG wants to continue our march to greatness.


(SG to LaFayette: Is he serious about abandoning Rhodes?)

[Scouse Gits]

Can't play before middle of next week -- marking
Should it not be La Fayette?

(SG to LaFayette: I hope he takes it up to a 12 city first ... )
