High Priestess in Space - Succession Game

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Already played 3 (actually 2 1/2) turns, will get up to 1863 by the time I'm done.

We've already got Nuclear Power and a half-built ship, and we're almost to The Alan Parsons Project... er, I mean the Laser.

I have to finish up some Calculus work (so I can get into AP Calculus), then I'll play some more. Report on the reign of Downpriest Jurradu should be up in a few hours.

I haven't the slightest idea, and it puzzles me. They said they would be back on the 19th, and I have sent several messages since then, with no reply .

1856-- Downpriest Jurradu becomes leader of the Zealots. He starts by rushing spaceship parts (and some aqueducts and factories) in many of our cities.

1857-- Z.S.S. Jezebel now has 22 structural components, 1 engine, 2 fuel tanks, and no modules. Freighter deliveries to Alexandrie net around 2000 gold.

1858-- Peace treaties signed with Russkies and Babylonians. More rushing. More caravan deliveries. Nuclear Power next turn.

1859-- Nuclear Power discovered. Now working on "The Alan Parsons Project" so we can build "la-sers". Added 3 structural parts, three engines, and two fuel tanks to the ship. Treaty signed with Greeks. Another round of freights delivered. Sighted a Russian cruiser in the lake next to Kiev and a Chinese FRIGATE near Cthulhugorsk.

1860-- Alan Parsons Project completed. Well, let's research Superconductor...

what? Can't research Superconductor? AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!

*kills advisor* OK, let's do Combined Arms, then.

Greeks declare war on us by catapult-attacking Nirik.

Most of our cities have already sent off all of their commodities, leaving nothing but food to trade (which is useless here).

1861: Russia and China declare war on each other. Got Fundamentalism from the Chinese. Russians start building their ship with 1 structural .

1862: Babylonians declare war on us by sending a destroyer at Soldier Temple. Chinese sneak-attack Cthulhugorsk! Russians build 2 more structurals.

I know I said I was going to play until 1863, but I got bored. There's a bunch of freights in Salamis (next to Egypt), and CA should be discovered next turn. The ship is at 27/5/5/0/0/0 (our big production cities are itching to build the modules).

I hope everything is ok. No posts for SGs since the 2nd.

Oh, and nice work VA

I propose we build a big honkin' ship for the greater glory of whoever it is we worship. Dionysus, for example. And if any AIs get close to launching a faster ship, we rush MP and nuke the infidels before overrunning them... I mean, we are still a fundamentalist govt for cryin' out loud...

It could at least make the last stages of the game somewhat interesting...

[Scouse Gits]

Who needs Gits anyway?

Well done everyone!!!!!!!!

STYOM 5 techs in 6 turns is seriously good going as a Fundamentalist!!

It seems that we have not been missed

SG(2) will take his turn when next up (if there is a turn to take that is)
SG[1] is taking a Morrowind sabatical

The SGs nearly finished the first...

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Welcome back, SG(2)... and [1] when he joins you...

Thanks for the kudo, except that I'd only consider it 4 techs in 6 turns. The first tech arrived due to Hydey's trading in his last turn, and VA didn't get a tech his first turn because I didn't manage to deliver enough 'vans in my last.

Having got that out of the way... take a look at our humungous ship chain! After having played this game, I will be setting my science to 0 in my next game when it gets to the freight/transports point, regardless of government. If one can get 2 techs/3 turns in fundy, imagine the trade bonuses in democracy - with the extra trade, and ability to quickly supersize a city...

[Hydey]

come on , who's up????

[Scouse Gits]

STYOM ... you are in touch with recent events...please advise who should play now.

Vlad was last.
According to the list (page 6 of this thread):
Marquis de Sodaq is next ( but he posted yesterday that he was willing to stop playing succession games ...for a while? ).
Then comes Messer Niccolò

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Having had the leadership role thrust upon me , I would suggest that either SG play. I don't recall whether MN is still on vacation. Besides, we've all had a turn or 2 since the SG's left, haven't we?

GUys, I can't read Apolyton!
I barely had the chance to find the "quote" button, after 6 reloads of this page!!!


I'll try to acces from home tonight.... (being backfrom holidays has been proved to be very harmful for my hardware).

PS: La Fayette, did you receive my mail (not e-mail) ???

Puzzled.... Mr. N.

It is waiting for me at the post office. I'll fetch it tomorrow and let you know.

[Scouse Gits]
