Sorry.

No. You played your game.

This one was becoming easy anyway.

Glad I could help provide a challenge.

So, what about the movie?

[Daddy-O]

It would be nice to see some. They are easier to view, that is certain.


I think it is Imtoops' turn to play, right?

[snoopy369]

I believe so.

It wasn't your issue skro it was mine ... fixed now, i can see it fine.

btw Modo i'm working my way through the books (again, 3rd time i think) in order most of your quotes are rather later in the series though so haven't noticed any yet ... this latest one is from night watch i think?

[lmtoops]

Yes, it's my turn...and an exciting turn it should be. I was hoping for some action.

Skrobism, don't worry for a moment. It's just a game and I am accustom dealing with such situations. I have been playing a small succession game with my children (12 and 9 yrs old...they are hooked on CivIII much to the dismay of my wife). You have no idea how much a 9 yr old can screw up a perfectly good set-up...if I didn't laugh I would cry (of course, we play on the easiest level).

I probably will not play until Wednesday. Hopefully, I'll get it done on Wed....otherwise it could be another week.

I have more from earlier Discworld books and from other Pratchett novels, but those are in Polish. Luckily, a great translator works on those books.

Sorry guys, I was called out of town on business. I won't be able to play this weekend. So the quickest I can play is Sunday or Monday night.

If someone else wants to step in and complete their turn...go right ahead. I would play after that.

1100AD - 1250 AD

I played my turns, things looked a little bleak, at first, but we are really in good shape. Except we are way behind in techs. Oh and we have only 2 workers (plus a few slaves).

1100AD
I noticed that only a few civs had Mil. Traditions. So I went to trading table and made a few deals. Persia gave Democarcy, 201 g, and 73 gpt. Sumeria gave Incense, 56 g, and 66 gpt. Germany gave Theory of Gravity and WM.

I changed the slider to 50% happ. and 50% research. Our people are not happy.

Upgraded a few units with the new gold. At the end of turn we are getting 141 gpt and will have Steampower in 11 turns.

Our MPP with Persia has approx. 13 t left. The Mil. All. against Spain are approx. 10 t. I will try to reclaim some territory and then make peace. It's time to get out of this war, our people are very, very, very upset.

1110AD
Carthage demands Saltpeter, or else. I refuse and they back down. I was not sure if we were stronger, but Carthage is far, far away...so it was not much of a risk.

1120
Trade Saltpeter to Carthage for Gems and 18 gpt.

1140
Take the spanish city of Ulsan.
Peace with Mongolia. I don't think a rock was even thrown.

1190
Take Cheju. I get a very lucky Great Leader. I convert the leader into a Calvary Army.

1200
We discover Steampower and we have one source of coal. It is in a good location near Kahnawake.

1210
Take Palma..Spain seems to be falling apart. Everyone is at war with them. I am letting all Mil. alliances and ROP expire.

1230
We now have 18 workers and a few slaves.
The MPP with Persia has expired. I make peace with Spain; they only will give 20g. I was hoping for a tech or a small city, but no such luck. Now our people are very very very happy. We may be ready for democracy, but I will let the next person decide.

1250 - Done. We are still far behind in techs. I am researching Electricity (6 turns away). Hopefully, it is tradeable for other techs. I hope we can get Smith's (6 turns away); I accidently let Niagara fall into Anarchy, twice. So if we come up 1-2 turns short...it my fault.

Screenies to come shortly.

[lmtoops]

Screenies attached.

zzzzzzz

[lmtoops]

I guess Paddy is next...is he still playing?

If not Paddy, then I guess it's Snoopy.

I played 15 turns....is that correct?

[Modo44]

Yes, it was 15 turns for you. The next player should only do 10, as we are in the Industrial Age now.

Paddy or Snoopy, as soon as one of them shows up. Both seem pretty busy lately - at least in regard to sccession games.
