  • Hard Times Succession Game

    MGE. Deity, 7 Civs, Raging. Custom map

    No special rules. As a wise man once said: "Just win, baby."

    Turns: I played 20 - but wandered a bit. Only 12 of the years had anything to document in them. Play 20 at most but feel free to play less, once the game starts moving faster.

    Starting techs: Alphabet, Bronze Working, Code of Laws, Currency, Horseback Riding and Pottery

    4000 BC: Our brave settlers pull their coats a little closer and explore.

    3750: Hut - 50 g.

    3650: Woebegone founded. Researching Ceremonial Burial (3 turns/tech )

    3600: "Frossssss-teeeee the SnowMaaaaaaan.... wassssss a happy jolly soul..."

    3500: Ceremonial Burial discovered; researching Monarchy.

    3350: Woebetide founded.

    3300: Fish in radius of Woebetide; Warriors rushed so we can start a Settler. Woebegone may have some Settler production problems.

    3250: Monarchy discovered; researching Map Making. Oedo year! (STYOM pats himself on the back for his timing skills) We are now a Monarchy. Warrior rushed in Woebetide. This may have to be our Settler city, and we may need as many Settlers as we can get, considering the local topography.

    3200: TWO fish in Woebetide radius ... and I just missed the sweet spot

    3150: Zulu warrior sighted!

    3050: Zulus move away, and we decline to follow them with Woebetide's only defender.

    3000: King STYOM wanders away in a blizzard and vanishes. A new king must follow him!

    This one may turn into a challenge... or it may be a breeze. I've been surprised before!

        What a chilly start

        2950bc: We discover MapMaking and start researching Trade.
        2600bc: We discover Trade and start researching Poly.
        Our wandering horseman meets a Zulu settler who asks for 50g . We say ***. War.
        2200bc: Zulu phalanx + Zulu warrior die while attacking our valiant horseman who gets vet.
        2100bc: WOETHELAKE founded. We discover Poly and start researching Writing.
        2050bc: A Zulu warrior marches out of Zimbabwe and gets killed by our horseman#2.
        2000bc: La Fayette disappears in the blizzard, with the feeling that there might be some fighting later on

            Good turns La Fayette! Nice city site for Woethelake - now I wish I hadn't settled Woebegone where it is. But then again, we are AWFULLY close to the Zulus so it might be a good thing I had 2 cities down fast.

              The Zulus will be no more than a dream if my successor makes good use of our knowledge of Poly...

                  @ SG(2) Feel free to join in ... the current game situation cries out for the RAR (Rabid Aggressive Rodent) approach

                  @ La Fayette - yes, I suspect that Zimbabwe will be no more, soon after the Ellie in Woethelake is completed Let's hope that we can pry some techs/cash/cities from the Zulus - or at least hope that there is some space on the peninsula past Zimbabwe!

                    We also have MapMaking.
                    So, if the peninsula is too narrow... we just play "go west , young man!"

                        RAR ... I think you must be referring to [1]

                        OK - I'm in and will play shortly.
