French Succession Game Play/Read/Enjoy

[Harovan]

Wow, a lot of tanks, artilleries and bombers at the other continent. Enough for warmongering at heart's content. I played exactly 1 turn, took 2 cities, razed one and was just attacking the next Chinese city, when the game crashed. Rien ne va plus. Seems we're screwed.

It appears mighty France will not dominate the globe... seems we've been struck by an asteroid or something catastrophic like that... ;-)

Uhmmm.
Let me give a try on that.

It looks like he is going good to me !
I've been able to take three smaller chinese cities and decimate the Chinese capital (didn't took it, was unlucky to lose a tank against a red wounded drafty).

I couldn't finishe the turn because I have to do my homework too .

Aniway... here is the save.... . If it works on your computers good!
If not..... well.... I don't know.....



I can keep playing all the way to the end and share the story with you

Uhmmmm
Where the zip did goes that I can't see it anymore

Oh well....

Here is another one

Hello?
Is anybody in here that still want to play?
Come on guys..... speak to me...

Just tell me if you want to keep playing our succession game or not.

I can't play anymore, but I'm in full favor of a collabrative end story. Unless anyone else (Aside from Giovani) can play it without it crashing, that is the course I would take. What more glorious ending can we get than the one we make up ourselves? This way we can carefully intertwine story threads together. Someone has to win the lottery for rulership, and a giant fish spacecraft falling back into the atmosphere in full flame might be interesting... But it depends on what everyone else will want to do too. Cow tongue anyone?

Anyother suggestions?

[Harovan]

I may try and play a few moves today, but certainly not full 20. Let's look if it works.

[Harovan]

Sorry, could not make it yesterday. Today tried, but it did not work out. Still crashes within the first turn . Anyone else up to try?

[JMarks]

See if FNBrown is still able to play. Otherwise I think we should start on our end story. If Brown can't play, how shall we go about it? Succession story, one after the other? Or a combined story effort, or a mixture of the two (collaberative succession). What do you guys think?

[Harovan]

I think Giovanni and Gillskill also can play. May be they should try it again. It seemed to work for Giovanni. Hell knows what's wrong with the savegame. I have a brandnew installation of Civ3 on a brandnew computer, and play so far at huge maps without problems.

[Giovanni August]

ARGGHHHHHH
It Crashed!! NOOOOO! I had done about 4-5 turns when "puff" Civ3 crashed. I'll see tomorrow if I can go around the proble, some way.

I posted a link to the savegame in the "1.17f bug reports" thread. Maybe Firaxis could take a look at it, to prevent future crashes.

[FNBrown]

My attempt to play was unsuccessful.

Not exactly how I expected the game to end... but not altogether disappointing. We had established ourselves as an insurmountable global force - perhaps we would not have been able to conquer the world, but it is a certainty that no one would have challenged us.

I think that victory, by one means or another, was inevitable, and that's good enough for me... if we want to call it a game and start working on a conclusion storyline, I'm OK with that...

Of course, we should also take a vote... what Civ to play as for the next time around.

[JMarks]

Sounds good to me. I'll start my segment of the story later, should we have a tragic ending, or a glorious ending? Up to you guys.

Although I'm not in favor of it, I think a game along the lines of 'The Morons' sounds interesting. However, instead of the morons, how about 'the atheists'? Hmmm. Try that at Diety! Anywhoo, my vote is for an industrious civ at Emperor level (that is the one above regent, right?).
