Are You Keeping Track of Things?

[BigFurryMonster]

I just wondered if every team has appointed someone to act like a Historian of some sort. It would be great to hear what has really happened in the game after it is finished. Things you'll never find out about in Single Player mode.

Which Civs declared war, and for what reason?
Which treaties were broken?
Who discovered Steam Power first?
Which city has changed ownership the most times?
Was tribute paid as a gift to other Civs?
Who got a Great Leader?
Which wonder project was aborted because the wonder had already been built?
Which maps have been exchanged?
Were there any miscommunications leading to centuries of hate between nations?
Which naval battles have been fought?
Which resources have been traded?
Was any espionage conducted?
How many nuclear bombs have been produced?

... (etc. etc.)

Legoland keeps adding entries to a "Chronicle", that depicts every single turn in quite a great detail. Should be the kind of thing you mean...

[Ninot]

i HOPE alot of those accomplishments are beyond the reach of all teams right now, to be irrelevant


nuclear arms and steam power being two such examples.

[Wittlich]

What?!? Your civ doesn't have a couple ICBMs yet?!? (purely defensive, of course)

[Panzer32]

Do nuclear tipped pikes count as nuclear arms?

If so, the GoW's words are backed with nuclear weapons!!!

[Borc]

i keep every(!) save and a short text summary of every turn... we also have our whole forum archive... enough work for thousands of historicians to write hundreds of books about our history...

Kamikaze spearmen?

[Harovan]

And you wonder why they can defeat tanks.

DeepO is working on our hstory thread now, he should be finished soon

[Tiberius]

I understand that you expect that your history will end soon, is that correct ?

I am?

You don't waste any opportunity, do you? You volunteered, so why don't you start on one

well our team is small, we haven't thought much about it. something to consider.

We find Belgians make the best historians and have both Alva and DeepO on the task. It should be an excellent historical account; I look forward to its completion.

[DeepO]

Belgians would make the best historians? Nah... history is normally written by the victors, and if there is one thing quite common to Belgian history it is that there always was at least one foreign country which laid claim to our lush grasslands... we've been subjugated for some 2000 years, so how were we supposed to write any history

Diplomacy, that's an area in which Belgium should be good, as we still need to negotiate our independence amids a few powerful countries... it's no coincidence that Brussels is the European capital, it's in our blood.

Maybe FP would make a good historian? After all he comes from England, which has long been a fine conqueror of worlds

I agree with your whole post, but especially with this part
