Hopefully this game will take off.

Actually I meant NOT to use the AU mod. I've never played it and don't plan to start now.

Glad to see the game underway.

Imtroops: I will pass the game onto you next. I have not played yet, but the night is young...

[Daddy-O]

Oh! I did try to load the save and it appears to load fine.

[lmtoops]

What are our Mounted Warriors suppose to do? Attack our cattle?

Oh well, the island will help us delay our Golden Age.

[lmtoops]

Depending on how long skrobism takes to play, I may be able to play before my bedtime. I'll check back in an hour.

[Daddy-O]

Don't stay up for me. I'll get a few turns in, but you should check back tomorrow.

I'm suddenly feeling gun-shy. In the past day I realized that I playing in the midst of some of the greats.

Modo's well respected opinions are all over the boards.

I think I just loaded Sn00py's gfx from my copy of Civ3Complete.

Paddy's got his Three Weed's

Hope I'm not in over my head.

Oh the pressure.

I'd say just go and have fun. That's the main point here.

[lmtoops]

Don't be fooled; these guys aren't greats, they just post alot

But really, just play your game and hopefully you will learn a bit (as I will) and we will learn from you.

The only thing to really watch out for, in the early game, is the citizens mood. At Emperor, they get upset earlier. So check their mood every turn, and use the lux. slider to make them happy. Avoid using entertainers, since this would take away shields/gold.

Have fun!!

I finished my 20 turns. I will post a brief Hx and save later today.

<< Although i'm generally glad to be mistaken for the great Sn00py from CFC, I'm not him ... Although I do use his graphix mod...

[lmtoops]

Where o-Where has the little save gone?
Oh, where o-where can it be?

I'm off to bed for the night. If the save gets posted, someone else if free to jump in and play.

[snoopy369]

Mounted warriors btw are quite fun to play with. Although it's for other reasons that Iroquois are apparently the 'civ to be' right now ... (I chose them before I realized this, or I would have chosen otherwise) Like the fact that they're agricultural ...

[Daddy-O]

Sorry. So much for going right home to edit the story the post the save.

Real life got in the way.

Save is being emailed to IMtroops.

re: feeling gun shy.
Just lowering expectations.

Soopy369:

2070 BC
Salamanca prepares to Settle the lands north towards Lake Itcheycott.

2030 BC
1990 BC

1950 BC
Salamanca has brought disfavor from the Mighty River. Great floods bring disease to Salamanca. Its population decreases to 4. As the waters race through the Mighty River a new youth sport comes into being - barrel riding. The elders fear that this only angers the Mighty River and is banned near Salamanca.

1910 BC

1870 BC
Salamanca continues to feel the wrath of the Mighty River. Our people continue to die. Salamanca dwindles to size 3. A local hero of sorts finds his home near Niagara Falls. Running Water is the undisputed barrel riding champion and goes over Niagara Falls.

1830 BC
The Mighty River returns to it banks. Salamanca begins to grow again. Plans continue for the settlement of Lake Itcheycott. In Niagara Falls, barrel riding is officially banned when 2 kids go missing after emulating Running Water's over The Falls stunt. Sentenced to community service, the Warrior - Running Water leaves his new bride, Dancing Flower, with child and boards the I.S. Barrel Rider. It will be a long journey across the Great Water in search of lands without floods, and bogus anti-barrel riding rules.

1790 BC
So much for a long journey. New Land is discovered just over the horizon to the south east.

1750 BC
The wise Sits-Long-On-Thunder-Mug discovers writing. Post cards are sent from Running Water to friends and family.
"Dancing Flower, New Land is bewtiful... wish yoo wear hear. -Running Water"

Sits-Long-On-Thunder-Mug begins to study the art of thought itself, in search of something he calls Philosophy and sends a postcard.

"Look what I discovered! It's called writing. Never mind. You probably can't read this. (Note to self: discover Literacy.) I will be gone for a while longer while I research Philosophy. It's very complicated. One day I'll be able to say things like, 'I think, therefore I am.' and explain what that means.
Wish you were here.
Sits-Long-On-Thunder-Mug"

1725 BC

1700 BC
Lake Itcheycott is founded.

1675 BC
The borders of another people are seen for the first time on New Land by the crew of the I.S. Barrel Rider.

"My beloved Dancing Flower,
These Newlanders call themselves Korean. We have not seen any of the sitys of Korea but an emisaree of Wang Kon met us at the shore. The Newlanders um Koreans claim to have many sitys, and have diskuvered much that Sits-Long-On-Thunder-Mug has not yet diskuvered. I showed them the skill of post card Writing, while they taught us the skills of Ceremonial Burial and Masonry. There a ferendley and wonderful peeple. They were most impressed with my barrell ridding.
wish yoo wear hear.
Running Water"

Poorly spelled post cards begin to circulate around Korea, and many children clinging to barrels are washed down stream.

1650 BC
1625 BC

1600 BC
A worker stumbles upon the Chinook tribe (hut at Nigarra Falls 4777) They give us 50 gold to go away!

At the southern tip of New Land, Warrior - Running Water disembarks and is met by hostile Newlanders.

1575 BC
"Dancing Flower, I left the I.S. Barrel Rider to find some narly streams to do some wicked barrol ridding. The mountains nearby looked promising. But NO! These Newlanders were not anywhere near as kulchered as the Koreans. They ataked me as soon as I set foot on New Land. Most unkool. I fought bravelee and fear that I killed one of there warriors. Dude! The party didn't hav to go that way. When I saw more coming my way I headed back for the ship. Later I found out I was injured. Dont wery about me. Just a flesh wund. I wil be fin.
wish yoo wear hear.
Running Water"

Warrior - Running Water was badly injured and would never leave the I.S. Barrel Rider.

1550 BC
The I.S. Barrel Rider along with Warrior - Running Water were lost to a barbarian attack off the southern tip of New Land.

1525 BC
1500 BC

1475 BC
Salamanca is back to size 6 and continues to grow. What the Mighty River takes, the Mighty River gives.
Searching Eagle is moving north east along the northern coast.
Desert Walker, set out from Lake Itcheycott and wanders the eastern coast.
One Who Faces East looks across the Great Water high upon a hill.
Little One Whose Ship Has Sailed continues to wait for his father Running Water in Niagara Falls.

Years later the boards from a lost ship wash ashore. On it is scratched...
"Dearest Dancing Flower,
I don't know if you'll ever read this. These Newlanders are a fierce and mean people. They show no interest in sport or hardy parties. Our great ship, the I.S. Barrel Rider, was attacked today. We fought hard but I fear that we will not make it back to land. The water is already coming into the hold. Tell our son how proud I am of him. Dude, mean people suck!
Wish I was there.
Running Water."

It is a sad end to a daring journey. Not only because of the loss of life, but also because Running Water appears to have finally mastered writing.

[Daddy-O]

Now where did I put that?

Here it is.
