There’s already 4 sucession games going on, but all of them with 2.42. I think it is good to have one with MGE, too. There is no special rule to make it more difficult, all the challenge will come from the starting settings. It’s MGE, deity, raging hordes, with a giga random map of 250x131, small lands, archipelago. The bloodlust option is on and I’ve choses many expansive civs, fighting ferioucly to settle many islands. It could be (should be ?) tough to find and kill them all before 2020 ad. As we won’t get to them by trirem and might need Apollo to see the whole map, some balanced or even perfectionnist strategy, might be required. But it is of course up to who’s playing, that’s the fun of it.

Oh Man, when will you understand that your greatness lies in your failure - Goethe -
Here is a saved 4000bc game. I’ve already played first and second in 2 succession games yesterday and gladly give the 1st spot to someone else. I particulary hope to see the Git’s Admiral mastering super-ironclads on the oceans of this world, and Smash the master of ship chaining as minister of planification. We might also learn if LaFayette spies do swim (and if they do, what is the color of their bikinis). All MGE only players are also warmly awaited : Anterkov, Marquis de Sodaq, Jr-Rabbit, Zedd and all the others I am forgetting right now.
Lineup :
1) Marquis de Sodaq
2) Space05us
3) Julius
4) Scouse Gits (2)
5) Straybow or someone else
6) SG (1) [should play now]
7)
8)Oh Man, when will you understand that your greatness lies in your failure - Goethe -
And here is finally the saved game. We are the vikings as I thought a peaceful trading maritime civ was needed, but I changed the colors. Feel of course to find great fitting names for our glorious cities.

In 4000bc, Sodaknud ascended to the viking throne. Wise soothsayers informed him that his new kingdom would grow to greatness, but the road would be long and full of adventure - and danger.
His people would need to master the seas in order to reach supremacy...
He ordered his people to settle, as there were whales nearby. The other settlers found some friendly archers in a nearby hut. They were given the honor of defending the palace, Lutefisk, from any foreigners with harmful intent. Other units were sent about to explore the world. To the north, the land was arid, but the seas fertile. Some wise men looked at the lay of the land and thought there may be some gain in planting trees outside the capitol. Soon a forest grew, and it teemed with pheasants.
Meanwhile, the viking wise men concocted new things for the people to learn, beginning with a more efficient government form. Sodaknud was crowned our first king! Seeing the great expanses of water, our finest minds set about ways of mapping coastline and building boats. We mastered the horse and devised a number system. More importantly, they developed ways to tap the sea for its abundant fish. Some of our youth wish to train for the glorious task of exploring the wide world, to further our glory as a people! The wise men wish now to develop a standard of trade, so that we may grow wealthy as well as wise.
Our fertile womenfolk have provided us with large families. Many have gone forth and settled new towns, expanding our young realm. It is now 2000bc, and all is well. The first ship is ready to sail from Lefse. King Sodaknud quietly passes away, with a content look on his face. The people are saddened, but look forward to their next leader to continue their journey to greatness...The first President of the first Apolyton Democracy Game (CivII, that is)

975 bc. Spanishs look strong. We don’t attack ... yet. 3 units shall contain them and we can occupy the fertile land of the south of their continent and teach them the viking way later on.
950 bc. Knudavik founded.
925-900-875 bc. Knudafoldur founded.
850bc. Spanish sneak attack. We lose a legion and them 3 units. I thought they were “rational”, damn that MGE AI ! We discover a new continent in the west.
825 bc. We lose a horseman, 2 units lost by spanish, they seem to have plenty chariots and we’re losing this war. 50 gold in a hut. We discover literacy.
800 bc. We lose our last legion in spanish land, so much for my plan. We should make peace and hang tough with our only city. It should occupy the spanish, then less prone to expand elsewhere with our nail city in their back . Philosophy from a hut.
775 bc. We discover astronomy.
750-725 bc. We kill one of those *** chariot, but I fear more are coming.Oh Man, when will you understand that your greatness lies in your failure - GoetheComment

10 turns played, good time to resign, This one is moving fast and we need new blood. Mine is spilled all over the spanish continent. The new leader need to choose a path, a golden one if possible, because right now, we’re quite astray.
Here is the saved game.
