Cheers!
Yep I've got the Activision patch installed (I assume thats the one), and I look forward to leading the mighty Austrlian empire and claiming their rightful place as rulers of the known world (or something like that).

72 hour rule

ummmm i guess it might be time to impose the 72 hour rule, unless someone has heard from vivala. especially considering that by my figures 124 hours have passed since pilfer posted he was passing file on. So if no one objects will either pilfer or rooboy pass it on?

thanks

[VivalaCTP2]

Here it is, sorry bout that:

1800: Exchange map with Mexico, we give map to Indo to strengthen relationship.

1802: Discover cavalry tactics. Research begins on chem. Nicaraguara declares war on us after our archers slaughter a settler of theirs in their home land. Give 800 gold to Indo's and naturally they are starting to like us.

1804: Greeks declare war on us for no apparent reason.

1806: Military readiness reduced to alert so more production can be used to build a big army to invade some country. Looking around, the Nic's seem the most viable candidate to suffer the first of our wrath.

1808: Give 900 gold to Indo's, I'm a very generous guy .... in exchange for a research pact. They have about 8 more advances than us. Experience (and I've had lots of it) shows that the diplomacy AI, after 10-15 turns will just give you the advances if you request them. Before that they require absurd amounts of money in exchange. So however is in a few turns need to plunder the fruits of my very expensive investment and no-one attack the iNDO'S AT LEAST TILL WE MILK THIS TREATY. (SOrRY CAPS)

1812: English offer cease fure and we naturally accept.

1814: Discover chem and research Age of reason


Thats about it, see ya.

[Skeeve]

If this research pact works the way it should... nothing will stop us in our quest for WORLD DOMINATION.

Nothing, that is, except for the darn unhappiness factor due to too many cities... argh . Well, we could always just go for the good ol' science victory, as long as we pummel everyone else back to the Stone Age.

The account of Gazablanca the 2nd (1820-1838)

1820 Gazablanca decides to attack the Nicaraguans for their insolence.Longships and Carracks full of Infantrymen and Cannons are deployed south.Banks are added to the
queues of many cities,to increase our dosh situation.The Indo's are given 500 gold in order to keep the bribery going to get some advances.
A longship with diplomat onboard is sent towards English territory,not only to set up an embassy,but also to pick up some English beer and sausages.

1822 Carrack and longship on their way to Darkabode to pick up some more units.Not much else happens,apart from sales of 'Gaz's Evil Brew' go through the roof..........

1824 Naval Tactics is chosen as an advance to build Ships of the Line.This decision is taken as a six strong fleet of Nicaraguan Fire Triremes is seen by the archer units on the Nicaraguan's land.
Transports continue south.

1826 Our two Archers have been slaughtered in Nicaragua by Infantrymen.The Nic's punishment is going to be very
painful indeed.....All the invasion ships will meet and group up by the island of Castaway.

1828 Carrack is placed in Roo Town's build queue.More money is given to the Indonesians,in a few turns they will be asked for an advance.

1830 Mexican Ship of the Line is prowling round our waters.A proposal is put to them to ask for the ship to withdraw
from out territory.Gazablanca thinks this could lead to trouble........

1832 Naval Tactics has been researched!!!!!Ships of the Line are added to build queues in several cities,while Physics is chosen as the next advance.Indonesia is asked for an advance with a bribe of a lot of money.The greedy,dirty,backstabbing bastards respond with a counterproposal of 15000 gold for them to
relinquish the Economics advance.Gazablanca immediately rejects it.Bahhhhh!!!!!!!
3 cannons are loaded on to a Carrack at Darkabode,and is sent to rendezvous with the other invasion ships...

1834 Nowt much happens.

1836 The French ask us for the Chemistry advance.Fine,I say.....8000 gold please.
The tight fisted gits reject our kind counter proposal......hey if the Indonesians can try a trick as dirty as this so can we..........

1838 Diplomacy Longboat on course for Liverpool,in England.2 Mexican Longships are spotted beside Apolyton,so Gazablanca rushbuys an Infantryman in the city.This is his last act as Aussie president,so he shuffles off to his retirement castle with a bottle of beer in his hands,leaving OmniGod to take over the presidency.

And so ends the reign of Gazablanca the 2nd....

[Sean]

Ummm, guys....very fewtranscript posts (ie, one) for the weekend. Will this game ever end....

And will it include any of the original players?

Get a wriggle on!!

Sean.

[Immortal Wombat]

I'm going to be away for the next two weeks. You will almost certainly need to skip my next turn, and if you play fast, theone after that.

Have fun.
Keep Civvin'

Hmm. Lavishing the Indonesians with money and signing up for dubious treaties probably wasn't a good idea. If it was me, I would have used a far more effective method--the plant-12-infantrymen-outside-their-capital-city-and-ask-very-politely-for-an-advance method.

It's so nice being able to post here again.

I should be available for playing the next time my turn is up. So it might still include a couple of us originals!

I'll still be here.

[OmniGod]

Having to pass the file on, my computer is down and won't be back for 2 days or whenever national boards are done, which ever comes first... if it could get to the end of the list and then sent back to me as the last player this would be good... sorry for not checking my email as I normally do:banned:

[Chris Horscroft]

Have received the file from Omni God and will have a shot at it tonight (I hope!)
