Each player plays 25 turns before sending the game to the next player. We are playing as the Romans on a random map. Game logs and intermediate saves can be found at http://members.home.nl/paulvdbb/occ242.htm

Since this is an OCC game we will of course never have more than one city. So make sure to save the game before entering a hut in grass or plains, so that you can reload if you get an advanced tribe. If you are not familiar with the OCC rules you can find them at http://members.home.nl/paulvdb/occ.htm

When you send the game to the next player please cc it to paulvdbelt@hetnet.nl so that I can put the save on my site.

SG[1]'s v2.42 OCC Succession Log

Note to self: Can play to 1500BC

Certainly looks like an island - not exactly ideal territory either - I keep looking at the SSW corner and wondering, it is certainly a potential special square from what we can see of the pattern, dare I risk the Settler resource? Paul irrigated it so clearly did not think the risk worth taking, but ...
Neighbours include: Indians, Germans, Egyptians, Zulus and Americans - need to identify the Orange Civ.

2750BC - let's go!
2700BC - might not be an island!
2650BC - Ceremonial Burial -> Monarchy (45 Beakers); I'm going to go for that potential Special - pre-worked Irrigating Settler stopped! (sorry Paul)
2600BC - [cross fingers]Forestation effort started[/cross fingers]; We seem to have an isthmus to somewhere - Warrior parked on Mountain choke point.
2550BC - Aha - Warrior is now 'near Berlin'
2500BC - Size 3; Celebration impossible;
2450BC - SILK! breath hearty sigh of relief;
2350BC - Cost of Monarchy drops to 40
2300BC - Cost of Monarchy returns to 45
2250BC - Back to 40
2200BC - hut 50g; cost 45??; Conundrum - I have 39 beakers and make 5 a turn if I leave it at 5 and the cost stays at 45 - we miss Demo this turn by 1 beaker and waste at least 3 next turn - while if the cost comes back down to 40 we get Demo and waste 4 beakers -- alternative move from beakers to shields for this turn - go with alternative...
2150BC - Cost stayed at 45 beakers - get it this next turn - no beakers wasted.
2100BC - Monarchy -> Currency; Colossus exactly half built; Revolution;
2050BC - MONARCHY ESTABLISHED ; The orange civ is English;
1950BC - hut 50g;
1700BC - Currency -> Trade; Horseman now 'near New York' - looks as if Germany is turn South after the isthmus ...
1650BC - regretting not choosing Writing
1600BC - COLOSSUS; start Temple

1500BC - all is well and I pass the conch.

I will probably get to the game tomorrow night. I hope that is ok.

Like I said earlier, I don't usually play OCC. This will be good practice for me. Do you have any tips? What are we as a civ going for in this early stage? Beakers, Gold, Trade, Alliances? Let me know. Thanks.

[Hueij]

Skrobism, I got your mail but you forgot to attach the save-file. Can you try again? Tnx.

[Hueij]

quote: I am really sorry.

Don't be. If I had to pay one dollar every time I forgot to attach a promised file to a message...

[Paul]

Same here. I've also often forgotten to attach a file I wanted to mail.

[Daddy-O]

That's really odd.

I'll send it again, but it will have to be later tonight.

I am really sorry.
