No Science Succession: Revenge of the Space Luddites

[Straybow]

Please add rabbit to the menu...

Hassenpfeffer? Did somebody say hassenpfeffer?

4000BC

Surveying the land, our brave settlers notice a lack of specials, and a rogue hut infringing on the river banks.

Two settlers!
Sooo much easier than the other game.

Setter2, we'll call him billybob of the luddites insists that he must take the hut. Surely the grubby barbarians will accede to billybob.

Settler1, Joe, will found our first city near the river.

3950

Pop hut (127,83) for all the darkside hutfinders,
get NON chariot! The chariot agrees to the name of sam.

3900

Build capital of Arkwright near rivered Delta with Pheasent.
The luddites will build what they destroy.
billybob finds a mound of Gold!
Right by the starting location.
Lock science at 0 percent. Wouldn't want to play 10 turns at 60 percent, now would we?

3850

Starting to look very hilly. Might need to cram the
second city close to Arkwright to get the gold.

3800

Nope. Got some grassland near the gold and another pheasent. Here comes city no 2.

3750

billybob levels the terrain.

3700

Arkwright spits out warriors.
Build our second city, Newcomen with Pheasant/Gold.


3650
sam spots hut, starting to find some flatter terrain.

3600
Tip hut,
Get Nomads!

3550.
Tough choice. Decent city site, port, no visible
specials. Decide to let chariot finish searching city site.

3500
Arkwright builds second warrior. Fortifies for defense.
Switch to settler.
Newcomen builds warrior.
Build 3rd city, Bessemer.

3450
Tip Hut.
MASONRY.
Crowd shouts.
PYRAMIDS, PYRAMIDS..
Throw rabblerousers to the lions. We must city spam before we can start the Pyramids.
sam finds whales, wheat 6 squares south of Bessemer.


3400
Arkright approaches size 2.
Tickle Warrior in Newcomen.

3350
Warriors sent to climb the hills. Definately hillbillies in this game.

3300
Pliny votes us most cosmopolitan.
Bessemer cranks out first warrior.

3250

3150

Rides AWAY from empire.

3100
Tip hut
Get Archers supported from Bessemer.
Tickle Settler in Arkwright.

3050
Settler finished in Arkwright.

3000
sam tips another hut. He's a hutfinding demon.
MYSTICISM.
I humbly resign for our next despot, HYDEY!
3 cities, 50K people. One settler and lots of good
land to work with.
Decent treasury of 44 gold for the next player.
We are first in land area:
78,000K!

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Sounds like some good turns, Jedi.

* STYOM reserves the right to shriek in horror when he goes home and checks whether either of Masonry and Mysticism are on the road to Republic *

SG(2) - if you want to sneak in before Hydey, post your intentions (before Thursday night Aussie time, which I guess is Thursday morning Brit time)

Otherwise Hydey is up...

[Scouse Gits]

I will sneak attack the game before the Aussies invent Thursday Night

Analysis
We already have one settler built by the capital so the one shield in the box will now go towards a Temple.
Change workers off gold in Newcomen to maintain a food surplus. If science was allowed I might work the gold to hurry advances - but this game needs growth.
2950
One warrior has been assigned to finding good city locations not too far from home.
2900
Trevithick founded on the river south of Arkwright.
2850
Hut 50g.
2800
With lines 2 and 3 missing in the build box, incremental buying opportunities are limited.
2750
100.000 population. Hut: Advanced Tribe Watt not What
2700
Newcomen builds Settler
2550
Hut: 50g - we are rich but ignorant!
2500
Crompton founded
2400
Arkwright builds Temple; Hut - Horse which is killing Watt not What's production!
2300
Hut: Do you want the good news or the bad news?
Good news - Nomad
Bad news - The walk home will take him until 1AD
2250
Hargreaves founded - first red face
2200
Tacitus has us third amongst the most wealthy nations.
Trevithick builds Settler
2150
Arkwright starts Great Wall - if Pottery ever falls out of a hut it could be the Gardens.
2100
Settler joins Arkwright now size 3 with a production of 5. Second city in F8
Hut: Barb (Now a vet Chariot )
Hut: At last a scroll of wisdom. Don't get excited its Bronze Working
2050
Newcomen builds Settlers
2000
The science situation is dire. Hut luck has not really helped. There is a Settler on the gold mountain which I was going to unite with the capital. One more settler after this one (plus a warrior) and Arkwright can begin the Xin It's probably best not to found a load of cities as the unhappiness will be rampant. Better to have about three size five cities working Xin cycles.
The horse in the wilds of the far west may meet the Zulus as his home city records him as being near Ulundi.

Hmm, looks like I missed this one.........still, you have a lot of players and I'm pretty busy anyway, so I'll just stick my oar in and annoy everyone with my opinions.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I'll take that last slot, if needed.

Translation: "I'll just keep on spamming..."

[DrSpike]

Oi!

I prefer the phrase "interact intelligently with other succession game players in a way that may or may not lead to many additional posts"

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Play list updated. As noted therein, there's a lot of us and there's some management opportunities available in our cities now, as well as exploring to be done. So let's shift down to 12 turns per player, for now.

DrSpike, if you want in, we can fit you in. This will probably be a long game.

Then again - I've been wrong before, re: long game.

[La Fayette]

Anyway, with DrSpike in, it will be long posts even if it is short game .

Your gallic humour escapes me.

Not "long posts", but "many posts": why spend time writing long ones when it's the "+1" that matters...

Oups, seems I'm getting the same "spam-disease"...

[Bloody Monk]

@DrChuck

Maybe he meant "...long (ON) posts..."

Several cities are down now - since there are a lot of us, let's drop to 12 turns.
