Mrs Mongol's Gold - A Crazy Succession Game

[Straybow]

[Colossus addict mode]
Arrows, gimme more trade arrows! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
[/Colossus addict mode]

Ahhhhhh, I feel better

When I took over No Decorum was making Colossus, and I had not the wherewithal to change it.

As to military value: trade arrows can be arranged to supply combinations of science beakers and gold, either of which can be highly useful for kicking of butts.

Order of Play

1) SG(2)
2) Julius
3) SG[1]
4) Straybow
5) La Fayette
6) Messer Niccolò
Six is a good number of players but if anyone else is interested we can always have a couple more.

Now the game is established I suggest the number of turns per person should be around 12.

Perpetual happiness sacrified for 2 beakers - I hope the elixir was suitably alcoholic (and red)

I suspect your anxiety to imortalise The Protector got the better of you there, Strabo


Looks like a good line-up for this game, should be fun again - Mercatia, where are you? - anyone seen the lady since the end of the mad game?

SG[1] - dying with rotten ****ing hayfever

[La Fayette]

sorry, away from home, shall join you next week-end.

[Messer Niccolò]

I'll d/load this evening.

[Straybow]

I PMed Mercatia and others who had expressed interest in Mad². Does nobody read and answer PMs?

SGs, 2 arrows is 2 arrows. Soon it will be 4 and 8 and more, MORE, MORE! So build HG, too.

[Scouse Gits]

You are next Messer Niccolò...Good Luck!

[Messer Niccolò]

Here I am!

[Messer Niccolò]

Is it mad?

In the year 1000 MrNiccolò rises to power (applause).
975 - Hut 50g
950 - Xerxes the fearless gifts us 100g from his personal treasury ;
925 - Hut Currency
900-875 Hut - Archers, Xerxes has no more gold to gift...
850 - The camel is discovered
825-775 Tickling is made on our caravans to prevent the dirty russkj to complete "The Gardens" but our efforts are vain... The only gardens we have are the backyard ones...
750 - Russian goes for Lighthouse (we don't have mapmaking, I switched to Marcos)
725 - Nomads (free! )
700 - MrNiccolò disappears... some camels are almost ready, our treasury is empty...

Harder than the last mad succession!

[Messer Niccolò]

Here is the save!

[Scouse Gits]

[ ]
For failure to complete the Gardens on schedule the High Synod decrees that those miscreants formally known as 'StrayBow' and 'Messer Niccolò' shall be required to perform an 'Act of Faith' under the otherwise useless very large statue in the centre of No Decorum.

So the hated Russians are next for shaving huhn?
Have the despicable Persians taken their last breath yet?
At least everyone will now agree that Monotheism has become The Most Desired Technology ...
Who is going to found Sticky Mouse?
Clearly a new Institute is required although with a more eclesiastical bent...

- Fundamentalism for ever -

SG[1]

[Straybow]

We don't know where the Ruskies are, and the Persians were left alone. Neither Mike's nor Bach's expires… and it may take us that long to find our enemies anyway.

[Scouse Gits]

OK - I'm starting to play the second round.
