Huge Successors 1: Build and Conquer!

[Modo44]

Actually, you have room for two fishing villages down south, not just one. Those would be St. Simonsville 111 and St. Simonsville 222.

I was thinking the same thing Modo - and I agree - your plan would make more sense. Sometimes I am just not sure the extra city - which goes into the total number for the overall corruption formula, is worth it. Do the others have some thoughts on this.

[Modo44]

You have the corruption numbers of a huge map, while the empire gets to a size normal for a standard map. Plus, those villages will be very close to the capital, if you consider the overall map size. So I'd definately go with two, not one.

Fast play SM!!

[conmcb25]

Those Aztecs are a touchy bunch

[Modo44]

A word from a lurker. Make a picture, pretty please.

[snoopy369]

What is with peoples' fascination with monarchy? In Civ3, Republic is a far superior form of government ... at least in my humble opinion, and in that of the various hardcore modders', who tend to hamstring republic (check some of the CFC mods )

And strictly speaking it was my turn before Smelly, but that's ok. Beta, you didn't seem to catch on that the turn order switched up on you. Read post 1

I'll play this one shortly...

[snoopy369]

And please post as a .sav file in the future ... waaaay too lazy to unzip saves

[smellymummy]

so it wasn't my turn? i got a save a few days ago and it wasnt my turn, so i figured this time someone must of gotten it right

republic vs monarchy? republic and the unit costs would be way too high. the population is just to small for a republic. best to gather lots of units under monarchy, take over the neighbors, then switch to democracy. thats just me, and anyway theres nothing stopping anyone from switching gov

as for the zip, i'm afraid we'll all have to post compressed save files, if we post the save file here at all. this last save file was too big to be posted; there's a 500kb limit.

[snoopy369]

Hmm? I had 490kb when I dl'ed it (the .sav size 490kb) ... and Huge AU Mod is fine at AD 550 ... but maybe it's just odd. Anyhow, the zipping won't help much for long, as it only saves ~10%. You can Upload the .sav pretty easily ...

Republic: 3 free units per City, 'nough said. Actually, the 6 turns of anarchy or more will stop me from doing it ... I was just wondering, in the other game they did it too. I don't see Democracy working well in this game, too much fighting ... maybe communism?

No, it was my turn. But it's not a big deal. We'll just reverse our order in this turn rotation

[snoopy369]

10BC (end of Smelly's last turn): Science upped to 90%, currency to 11 turns. Monarchy sold to Spain for 40gp and Construction (they wouldn't take any amount of gold, even 480, and monarchy for both - but would take monarchy for all their gold PLUS either of them. Odd.) Swordsman in Iron Mountain finishes off weak Aztec archer; spearman covers him, and in the interim defeats another aztec archer, promoting to veteran. Incans invade ... without yet declaring war - will attach screenie in a sec.

[snoopy369]

eek! Incans invade! Well, this is after I told them off. They left peacefully ... sort of. I don't think this will end happily, but hopefully I'll have more time to prepare anyhow.

AD 10: Nothing of note.
AD 30: Incans retreat! (At peace still.) Happy day Aztec spearman defeated 12 of New Port.
AD 50: The Aztecs send in 4 Swordsmen near Iron Mountain. We begin to be concerned ... 4 swordsmen of our own are 1 turn away ... Mount Snoopy founded 69 of Conterberry.
AD 70: Iron mountain successfully defended; only 1 unit lost. Incans move closer to Mount Snoopy. Inca leaves again; monarchy sent to them to appease them, for 80gp.
AD 90: Aztecs are attacked near Iron Mountain; a horseman defeats a swordsman on top of the Iron without losing a hp (?) and then another dies to one (1 hp left) on grassland ... odd. A swordsman also dies to a regular spearman (1hp left) and then another kills it - no loss; 3 total head north towards Texoco.
AD 110: Vet swordsman kills regular swordsman 1 of Texoco, with 1 hp left, and 2 regulars follow.
AD 130: Aztec land 1 spearman 4 of Coningham; destroyed by swordsman, 2hp remaining. Battle of Texoco goes poorly, 1 reg swordsman dies; the other kills a swordsman 1 of him, and a horseman goes to 1hp and retreats taking another down 1 hp.
AD170: Incans leave, again. More units placed on our border to push them away. Aztec spearman, on plains, regular, defeats 2 of our swordsman before succumbing. Ouch.
AD190: Aztec warrior killed 4 of Coningham. Horsman dies to Swordsman near Iron Mountain 1hp left; swordsman kills swordsman on same spot (different one) 2hp left.
AD210: Aztecs get lucky and conquer Coningham for a turn. Retaken immediately and Aztec galley sunk inside ...
AD260: The Siege of Texcoco (Next post!)

[snoopy369]

AD 260: The Siege of Texcoco
4p Sword attacks; beats 3p spearman, 3p remaining
4p sword attacks; beats 3p spearman, 4p remaining
4p sword loses to 3p spearman, 2p remaining on spear
4p sword beats 3p spearman, 2p reamaining
3p sword beats 3p spearman; 1p remaining
(defense)
4p spearman defeats 3p swords; promoted, 3/5 remaining
4p swordsman loses to 3p swords; 2p remaining
AD 270:
4p sword defeats 3p spearman, 1p remaining
3/4 sword defeats 3p spearman; 3/4 remaining

(stopped here, as it is now up to the Grand Emperor McMeadows to finish the task I started.
