Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Waiting to make sure that we got the Gardens, were you?
The more the merrier
Stray, no statue yet?
I'd like to join but... I'll be soon on holiday so I think not to be "Apoliytoning" for the next 10 days.
<--- Here is Mr. Niccolò for the next days...
googol... this is a number!

Have fun Msr Nic. I'm sure they've got some kind of drug for coming down off your Civ/Apolyton addiction while on vacation.
I'll go, then SG[1], then return to play order with Julius.
STYOM, beer? And SG will starting naming cities for cheap Dago reds?

Well, of course the city names have only just gotten to "C" for the really obvious one. (It's only a model.)
Staggering home, barely conscious, Staybow just manages to post the file. But it isn't like anything happened. Built some Settlers, a Caravan which hopes that someday we'll have ships that can take it to another continent, a Market, a Library or two, a Temple or two… you get the picture.
Of course we had to discover Currency, Trade, and Writing before we could build 'em.
One Viking ship was spotted off the coast near Avalon, therefore I suspect they abide to the South.

2) Julius "No! …I didn't"
3) STYOM "Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcicial aquatic ceremony!"
4) LaFayette "…and that, my Leige, is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped"
5) SG[1] "She turned me into a newt!"
Alphabetical means name your founded cities in rough (first letter) alpha order, as an organizational aid. Don't worry about TANSTAAFL coming after Tunafish; don't feel you must rename captured cities.
No Science Wonders (GL, Cope's, Newton's) assures that we will not grossly outpace our competitors. The size of continents should be a limit to early expansion as well.
No City Bribing (modified) applies to core AI cities. The exception: occasional loner AI city (from wandering Settlers the AI likes to send out, or Adv Tribe, etc) far from their core is fair game. Invasion actions shall be limited to one(1) attempt to sabotage walls (or another improvement) and unlimited production sabotage attempts.

Maybe you should have named one of the cities in your turn, (St.) Aaaaaaaargghh. That might have been a better hint

Well, if I'd managed to found one of the "B" cities it would've been called Badon Hill (at which battle Sir Robin the Not-So-Brave-As-Lancelot soiled himself).
Yes, Aaaaaargh was the obvious and best choice, in my opinion
Who's playing next
If it is me, I will play this evening.
Did we get up on the powergraph. We don't need new rules to be down in this one
Oh Man, when will you understand that your greatness lies in your failure - Goethe
King Ratty appoints himself King of all Britons and takes throne in Avalon.
-325 = sets a luxury rate so that the people can celebrate ...
-300 = BeachyFish sends out Settlers; Abington builds expensive unneccessary Temple;
-275 =
-250 = Makeshift Barb trap completed - I wish the Phalanx were vet;
-225 = Settler makes Avalon 5; Temple started in Avalon;
-200 = Map Making -> Literacy; Settler makes Avalon 6; Temple completed; Daresbury founded; Barb Archer/King approaches trap - will our hilled fortified green Phalanx hold?
-- Yes, just and became vet!
-175 = Gems, Booboo, 66g; Barb trap sprung, 150g; Science now @ 5;
-150 = The Royal Navy sets to sea;
-125 = Silk, Abington, 18g - a 3 arrow route and now we can use the repeating Hides in Avalon; Dogsbody founded;
-100 = Literacy -> Philosophy; Marco Polo's Embassy in Avalon; The Vikings have now started the Lighthouse; Our opponents have a few interesting techs, notably Bridge Building, but as we are only four turns from Philosophy, King Ratty chose not to approach the other mighty leaders of the world until after we had that particular cat in the bag; We are, of course, Supreme & Spotless;
-075 = Nomad from hut; Avalon can now move to 10 shields a turn, unfortunately at the cost of reducing our research to 6 - a judgement call for my successor;
We comfortably top the PowerGraph ahead of the Vikings - beating them to the Lighthouse would be nice we don't have much real estate...
75bc, Why a phalanx in Avalon, we need caravans.
50bc, Mongols develop iron working.
25bc, Busy diplomacy. We get horseback, iron working, wheel, warrior code, masonry, polytheism, construction, republic, seafaring and bridge building. Maps from the Mongols far away, and the Aztecs, near us in the south in a pretty little islands where our warmonger players probably plan to visit soon for their next holidays.
1ad, Divine Wind founded in the island between the Aztec and us. Vikings threaten to finish Lighthouse, how badly do we need it. If I sell improvements, I can get it (3 caravans are near), but I deem it not worth it, science with trade to the Aztecs should bring us soon to magnetism : sticky mouse has not been founded yet ! What’s more, a few turns later, I discover a whale near but not near enough Divine Wind.
20ad, diplo lands in a new continent, east of the Aztecs.
40ad, mone elephant from a hut.
60ad, none horseman from a hut, always on this new continent.
80-100-120, 140 ad, 112 gold with a caravan to the Aztecs. Escape My Fate is founded.
160-180ad, Philosophy, 320 gold with a caravan. We discover Mongol settlement on the now not so new continent.
200 ad, time to resign, what, not soon enough ?
Oh Man, when will you understand that your greatness lies in your failure - Goethe
I’ve played it with originality, not to say madly. My biaised scheme that my successors will soon forget is to trade, trade and trade with the aztecs. They’re in republic right now. I probably traded too early for techs with the AI. “C’est la vie” ! And I don’t believe in a SSC and didn’t make Avalon grow. We can’t build science wonders, right ?
