Succession in the real world...

[Marquis de Sodaq]

Sure, Farmboy, you're welcome to join in. The game is in the MGE version, earlier versions won't work. If you have this version, play your turn before KrazyHorse, who can only play on weekends. If you don't have this version, post and let us know...

[Farmboy]

No CD-ROM

Okay, here's the deal, I have, in seperate folders, 2.42, FW, and MPG. So that I can play different saves and stuff. But now, for some reason my CD-ROM has decided to act like it doesn't exist on my computer. That is bad in the fact that I can't run MPG. Now I am limited to playing my scenarios on fantastic worlds, as that version doesn't need the CD to play. ARGH!!!!! So I guess I can't play in this game as I won't be able to join in. Thanks anyway.

damn a lot of inteest from new players but not many able to play

[KrazyHorse]

Oh well...at worst, if nobody else can go, it's only another 30 hrs. till my turn can be played. I promise I'll make it top priority.

[Rasputin]

[Rasputin]

I downloaded the game just to see what it was like, and I just have one question.... Why the heck are the cities sooooo far apart? I'm not an ICSer here, but I do like to use my terrain to the fullest. I liked how it looked, but I'm just curious.. why so far?

[KrazyHorse]

Well, I haven't taken a look at the game since I played it, but part of the problem may have to do with the fact that I discovered an advanced tribe wayyyyy off from the rest of our civ, and I found a NON settler wayyyy off to the west.

[Rasputin]

yes exactly KH.. A few citys were discovered and they wer ea long way from the starting area , so some gaps there.. hopefully over time our nation will expand into those areas, but not much goood land where our nation started, i dont reaaly like the world the gods created for us... its stange playing on a flat world for one and no arctic regions too... only smal lrivers to the west not much else apartfrom hills/mountain and plains,,,,

And KH you didnt anser my quewstiohn AGAIN !!!!!!

[KrazyHorse]

I already told you in another thread that he's Kurt Godel. He's a pretty famous mathematician.

[KrazyHorse]

Okay; somebody *eyes Marquis suspiciously* doesn't believe in building city improvements.

KrazyHorse II comes to power in 20 a.d.

In 20 a.d. I switch all war production to peace production. We need more settlers! Not to build more cities, but to build tile improvements. Next turn, it's goodbye Vikings. I may not be a warlike player, but come on...Marquis had parked a vet crusader and a legion outside Uppsala, their last city. I rushbuild some settlers due to impending disorder. Luckily, Michelangelo's going to be finished soon. We have to do something about our science rate; 12 turns per discovery? After Mike's is finished around 200 a.d., I rush Cope's in Teotihuacan. This gets us down to 9 turns/discovery. Lots of settlers built, lots of terrain improvements added. I wish there were more rivers; it's very difficult to irrigate the interior. Our next tech goal is Invention, and after that Explosives. I love it when your army of settlers all get transformed by Leonardo's into engineers. I don't think there would be any problem taking out the Babylonians, but I want them as a buffer against the Chinese. All the cities that have settlers working on them are now building libraries, marketplaces, etc. I left it up to the next king, but I think it's time to start disbanding our enormous army; I want to go back to republic (or democracy, since that's getting close). I figured out that the map is one of Central America. I think I know where Cuba is, so I send a trireme with some caravans on it to investigate. Sure enough...it's the Russkies, on Cuba. I wonder if they've got any nukes? I trade for the Wheel and for Iron Working, and then I run a couple of caravans into Moscow for some tasty bonuses. I get ~250 gold for the first one, which almost fills my science meter. I wait one turn so that my scientists can discover Medicine, and then I run the next one in for ~100 gold. Next stop: Engineering. I discover that, and am now working on Invention. I realise that my time's been up for the last 3 turns, so I reluctantly give up the throne to the next king.

What a cool way to play CivII. I'd sign up, but unfortunately, I don't own CivII (only ToT).

Great idea!
