Another Succession Game?

I M T O O P S not troops

sorry I've been misreading and Typing your name.

Great read. Hey, don't I know the "Wish you wear hear" from some Pink people?

So the big land is near. Good (not for them, I might add ).

The nasty FarNewlanders were barbs?


And the screenies are... where?

[Daddy-O]

Pink people?

Yes the mean Newlanders are barbs. Mean people suck!

Screenies. Um. I could post the final screenie but that's all I've got. It wasn't until reading some other PBEMs and Successions that I realized how important screenies were to you. Next time - I promise - more screenies than you'd ever want. Maybe even a screenie movie.

Sorry.

Glad that you liked the read.

Pink Floyd, the band. They had an album called "Wish You were Here" - the phrase you kept repeating.

A view of the empire and demographics - both from your last turn - would be really nice. Post a screenie, please.

[Daddy-O]

yes. Pink Floyd. Um no. We have yet to discover psychedelic rock. It's just a stupid thing that you end a post card with.

screenies to come tonight. Must pretend to work now.

I have to say, gun shy or not you do a heck of a job writing the turn rundown And I'll definitely expect the Screenie Movie. (Unless it were Powerpoint i'd have no idea how to do so ... though I'm going to go play in Powerpoint right now and see if I can do one!)

1475BC
Change Salamanca build from temple to settler with no shield lost. I want to pump out nothing but settlers. Maximized research on Philosophy, I may have it in my 20 turns.

1450
Settler built in Salamanca with more to come.

1425
Barb Camp attacked, and won (+25g). Settler built in Niagara, switch to curragh.

1400
Persian warrior spotted on eastern continent. Whoever put that warrior on the hill was smart and it paid off. Persia does not have Writing, but does have BW, WC, and Wheel. I don't need any of these techs (although I'm curious about the Wheel), so I will hold off on trading.

1375

1350
Lost warrior to Barb horseman.

1325
Trade Writing for Wheel+9g. I should have traded in 1400BC; Writing is worth a little less, now. Unfortunately, we have no horses on our island

1300
Build Jumping Fish

1275

1250
Curragh in Niagara, build another (probably should change this).

1225

1200
Whoops, I let Niagara fall into Anarchy.

1175
Built Crapping Cow. Damn, fortified warrior in Crapping Cow was defeated by a Barb. warrior. There was also a barb. horseman in the area, so we lost approx. 110g. I knew there were barbs hanging around, so I should have had a 2nd warrior. Oh well, so it goes.

1150

1125
Built Plainview (I think it was 1125(?)

1100
Contacted Spain. So far, no one has Philosophy

1075
1050
1025

1000
Discovered Philosophy. I took Mapmaking as the free tech. Mapmaking was more valuable than CoL, so I took a chance. The curragh has spotted a dark green civ (only the border), so I did not make any tech. deals. The next player can contact the new civ. and deal with all known civs.

Overall, I expanded our empire (3 cites, built 5 settlers), built a few worker (3 or 4), which is good. On the down side, I lost 1/4 of our treasury to the bards, and let Niagara fall into Anarchy, twice. So it goes.

In case you missed it, the save is at the bottom of the last post.

Attached is the screenshot.

Oh, my email address is lmtoops at yahoo dot com

The first letter in the email is a small "L" as in leo (which is my name). It is NOT a capital "I"

Attached is the Demographics

I sent the save to Paddy. He should be up next.

So the turn order is:
snoopy369
Modo44
skrobism
lmtoops
Paddy the Scot

[snoopy369]

I think Paddy is unable to play right now, but I'll give him a few days in case he's able to play this one (and I need a bit of time anyhow).

[lmtoops]

No Problem

Awe you say that about everyone.

Good job. Our little tribe continues to grow. I'll take a look at the save tonight.

[lmtoops]

Skrobism...I guess you may have been just lucky

Really, it was a good move.

Ok, now for the criticism , I wondered why you had your workers working indiviually. It is a better idea to have them work in groups (at this stage, 2-3 in a group). They can complete jobs much faster.

Of course, I made another error. I did not mean to cutoff our southern city from irrigation. I meant to irrigate one of those plains tiles and then irrigate on the other side. Then we could go back and maybe mine the original tile. I will need to be more careful next time. I probably played this turn too, quickly. I was pressed for time.

Actually, this is only true if the workers can move and start their jobs on the same turn. If they chop forests, or build roads, they should go solitary.
