Monday Night Game: Stories, screen shots, status etc.

[drake]

Well the first session of Monday Night Civ was a definite success, with what appears to be 6 enthusiastic and reliable people. The starting cast for MNC is

Dangime as the Japs
Chris62 as the Germans
Holmes as the English
Makeo as the Aztecs
Prometheus as the Romans
and myself as the Scotts

We are playing 1x1x, emperor level on a large map with level 1 barbs.

In our first session, we made it to 50 BC, with only one very minor connection issue.

As the holder of the Embassy, it appears the cast is pretty even across the board in science, though there is quite a difference in population and military between a few civs. Some civs have started on islands, and atleast one or two have started on "the" main continent. Civ contact is minimal at this point, though several alliances have apparently been set up.

No war has broke out, but there has probably yet to have been any territory issues, considering how vast the world must be.

I'm looking forward to week 2, hoping it will be as problem free as week 1.

In closing, I will leave you with an early territory map of scotland...just wont share where on the board it is

(Ming, I know you hate multiple threads for same game, so if you read this, please delete the thread we used to setup the game...thanks)

In the first session of the game, The Japanese set down the basis of what is to be a great empire in all manners. 9 idealic cities were set down in the lush and fertile grasslands of the Japanese Penisula. All the cities are connected with an extensive road system, and the Japanese form of government allows its citizens to live without the oppressive means of other governments allowing them to detiticate all their resources to the procurment of funds for temples and researching the merits of foreign trade and the mysteries of the Gods.

Lord Dangime has set out a 10 turn plan for the citizens, of which they have embraced and wholeheartedly approved. It calls for the completion of the remaining temples in the city states and a grand celebration to the Gods after their completions. Surely this plan will make the Republic of Japan first among nations.

Many adventures at sea and in untamed lands await the Japanese Republic as it expands ever futher into the vastes of the unknown world.

Aztecs

The Aztecs started on a small island.

Mapmaking and the Lighthouse were deemed a priority. Didn't think of Marco's but probably should have.

[Makeo]

Not that the demographics mean much but I like to look at them when i get bored between turns.

I didn't make any screen shots, but I will tell you that Germania is by far the largest land, and has the largest armed force.

We already have two alliances, and are growing fast.

riiight.....

[Frank Johnson]

He was refering to the vastness of the territory claimed by the Germany-Japanese alliance... to that I can testify. However our maps are far to large and give too many hints to be offered as a screen shot.

[Chris 62]

Right Makeo, my alliance has 40+ units, you see something larger?

[deity]

My money is on Makeo.. followed by drake and Prometheus.

Not sure which Chris this is? Is it the old Mali Chris who beat me to Leo in HOTW2? Or the other one who only played one session?

[Chris 62]

Funny you say that Diety, the last MP game I played was against Drake and Pro, beat them in that as I recall.

You always ask that, I filled in for Ozzy and Ras in your big game.

[drake]

Shame you couldn't play this one old man...the old Zulu king still wants a piece of you

[Frank Johnson]

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Actually, Dang has gotten real good lately.

You have a good combo of players here:

Makeo the killer
drake the builder
Prom the peacemonger - usually
Dang the exterminator
Chris the one deity gets confused... but must be good
and srholmes the wildcard, the new Aussie I've not played yet

Yup drake, I'm as jeolous as hell on this one
