Heheh. What he said. Is MPE considered a science wonder, considering it is mainly used to scr*w over the AI Civs via tech trading?

Put me on the list. I wanna see how we do with no SSC. I haven't played without one of those since I discovered Apolyton...

STYOM

Nope, MPE is not a SciWoW. At this point in the game the hard part of following the roolz is knowing your ABCs.

I think you guys can handle that.

2650 bc. Advanced Tribe of Brenzaidograd in the north, with a whale and a wheat. 25 gold.
2600 bc. We discover Alphabet. We’re quite advanced, are we not ? Why was a settler making a road on a wine hill ? Let’s make a mine too !
2250 bc. We discover Ceremonial Burial.
2150 bc. None horsemen from a hut.
1950 bc. I resign and rename myself the boring king.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Nothing much happened, but I explored quite a lot. There’s some nice spots for cities, unfortunately we started elsewhere. I think we’re up for a bad start, so it should be a better challenge than usual. Here is the saved game.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Sorry, here is for good the saved game.
I forgot in my last post and could not add the zip with the edit function

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Got it... will play tonight...

STYOM

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Quite brief log... but then, not much happened.


1950: Mad Warlord STYOM takes control after Warlord Brenzaida is found asleep in his soup.
1900 - 1850: nada
1800: Code of Laws discovered. Researching Monarchy.
1750: Settler in Abington; starts Settler.
1700: Booboo on You founded; starts Warrior.
1650: zilch.
1600: Barbarians land near Booboo on You (2 archers). Phalanx rushed.
1550: Phalanx assembled in Booboo on You; starts Settler.
1500: Brenzaidogradian Chariot defeats barb Archer.
1450: Betwixt 2 Bays founded; starts Settler. Barb archers pounded to smithereens under our mighty Chariot wheels.

Well pleased with his sleaze, STYOM can now rest in his ease.

Here's the save.

STYOM

[Straybow]

STYOM, I did a little over 20 turns, Julius did almost 20, so do another 10 or so and then we'll see if anybody else is gonna join.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

OK... but now that I'm at work... expect the save this evening.

Or go ahead and play if you so choose!

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Don't say I didn't warn you!

As Warlord STYOM prepares to step down in favour of Vice-Warlord Al ('I invented the Phalanx') Gore, an unhappy mob gathers outside the Citadel, begging for another term. 'Who will save us from the oncoming barbarians?', they cry. A moving plea, and besides, the mob is armed. Thus, another 500 years of STYOM.

1400: Aztecs start Pyramids. Monarchy discovered, 1 turn too late for Oedo Seeking Pottery, now.
1350: nothing much.
1300: Oedo
1250: Settler in Brenzaidograd; starts Warriors. Monarchy formed!
1200-1150: very quiet.
1100: Warriors in Brenzaidograd; Settlers started.
1050: Beachyfish founded; starts Warrior.
1000: Vikings start Hanging Gardens Settler in Abington; Settler started.
975: BoobooOnYou builds Settlers; Settlers started. Pottery discovered! Colossus work changed to HG. Now we're learning Currency.
950: Nothing much.
925: Gardens rushed. Catchyname founded, starts Warriors.
900: Gardens built, Vikings switch to Colossus. Colossus started in Avalon.

STYOM rides off into the night, having played too many turns and leaving his successor to ponder whether to try for Colossus ahead of the Vikings, or (hint, hint) aim for MPE.

NB. Those of you who want a challenge will be pleased to hear that we are 5th on the Powergraph

[Straybow]

Maybe this one is just the three of us. I'll go again, but another can join and catch up.

Yello, Merc? Nic? Anyone else want a go at this?

[Julius Brenzaida]

Straybow, I am afraid that many players don't like special rules. Internet is the land of the free
I agree that we're up to a bad start. Maybe even without rules it would be tough. But as you have not forbidden the Howie, I remain confident.

[Scouse Gits]

I'm a little snowed under at the moment - but would like to join asap - would this be OK?

SG[1]

[Straybow]

Oh yeah, love the city names. They really go with the Celto-Anglo civ thing.

(Note to self: Next time the roolz will state that names have to be taken from towns listed in the 1992 Rand-McNally Road Atlas of Great Britain )

GS[1], I'll wait. By "at the moment" you mean you'll get to it by this evening (GMT), not "maybe Thursday?" Not letting job, parenthood, significant other, or mundane duties get in the way of civving, are you?

Waiting to make sure that we got the Gardens, were you?

The more the merrier

To Stray: The last game I played on my own, I named all the cities after indigenous beer brands... I suppose I could do that alphabetically...
