How old is sg{3} anyway?
Anyway, you've seen my avatar choice if I did

Keep on civin' guys - looks good - should I buy this game?

Might just about be worth it if you can get it cheap now. MedMod2 or Cradle Of Civ or both together make the game more challenging, and succession gaming is keeping the game alive enough. It really depends how cheap you can get it, or how much you mod it. I have got my money out of it by playing around with scenarios and mods, but I would say it is probably worth about £20 if you're going to play MedMod or succession games.

Thanks for that Wombat - I might just invest ... now that CtP2 is in the bargain bin -- brat daughter (SG{3}) is 15.5 (next week!) she celebrates her half birthdays since she was born on Boxing Day.

[Rhuarc]

Ok, here is my post, FINALLY!!! The stupid grass just had to be mowed tonight! (or so my father seems to think!!) Anyway, her eis the reign of Rhuarc ?? ( I don't remember what number turn this is for me!!)

2250 - Warriors continue to explore.

2225 - Warriors continue to explore.

2200 - Warriors continue to explore. (You can't contain the suspense you are feeling can you!?! )

2175 - Offer gift of gold to France to try to raise our regard with them. They immediately respond by accepting it and then asking us to remove our troops from their borders!!! We accept, but only because at this point I think they could wipe us out!! We also traded maps with the French this turn.

2150 - Warriors continue to explore.

2125 - Finally!! We have discovered Ballistics!! Our scientists immediately begin work on discovering Stone Working.

2100 - Warriors continue exploring.

2075 - Warriors continue exploring.

2050 - City of Rhode founded to the North. It immediatley begins work on a Granary to aid in city growth. One of our warriors has discovered 277 gold left in an ancient ruin.

2025 Americans attack one of our exploring warriors with an archer who we promptly defeat!!

As you can see, my reign was mostly sheer boredom followed by: intense periods of excitement!!

[Immortal Wombat]

Herein lies the transcript of the reign of Wombat III of Greece. In a parallel universe, a "cousin" of Wombat has recently led a nation called the Australians, so Wombat's fingers are tired from typing...

2000BC
Exploration

1975BC
New settler in :

• Mountainside
  
  
  
  • City now builds an Archer, as it is close to the American frontier
    
  • Settler heads to the north coast
    
  
  
• Athens
  
  
  
  • City builds Ramayana
    
  • Settler heads for the great plains to the East.
    
  
  

A french pikeman ( ) was spotted east of our hoplite, guarding the pass to the east of the Grey Wombat Mountains.

1950BC
New Settler in Troy goes eastwards, and Troy begins to construct a granary.

1925BC
Explore. We meet an emmissary from North America and have a beer with him.

1900BC
The Americans propose a cease-fire, and we agree, on the condition they surrender to us a map of their empire. They Agree, and we notice that they have ships.
We discover Stone Working, and begin research into Slave Labour, so we can se the French slavers, and build mines.
The Settler from Athens found the City Under the Grey Wombat Mountains on top of the east Hoplite guard, and begins producing another hoplite for defense.

1875BC
Americans propose an exchange of maps, which we do not really need, but to improve relations, we accept.
Hoplite built in Delphi, which fortifies, and the city begins a shrine.
Mountainside builds an archer, and begins a shrine.
A french archer appears outside Argos, but our request that they withdraw is refused, even with a 500 gold bribe.

1850BC
Warriors start to return from the outer reaches of the continent, laden with exotic goods, and maps of their journeys.

1825
Argos builds a settler, and begins a granary. The settler goes east along the coast, letting the settler from Argos go inland, towards a pair of close-together sources of valuable spices.

1800BC
2 farms are started around CUTGWM to improve growth.

1775BC
Troy builds a granary, and continues a shrine.

Then Wombat dies a mysterious death involving a tea-cosy, having left his empire in the hands of a young lad named rooboy.

[rooboy]

A young arrogant lad named rooboy takes the job. He demands he only work 4 hours a week, and that coffee and a large selection of biscuits and donuts be provided for him whenever he works. He also demands a butler, and his house be fitted with 1000 mirrors to enjoy his perfectly tanned and toned pectorils. With his huge majority in the Senate this bill is passed through with little hassle. The Greek people still must work 14 hours a day. He is a "Greek Adonis", however, many people consider him to be ignorant, as he cannot name the leaders of France, Native America and America.

Athens continues to work on the Ramanaya. When this is built the Greek people will really know what bled dry means.

Rooboy III wants each city to be defended by 2 hoplites and 2 archers, making capture almost impossible at this early stage. Warriors will be used as scouts becuase of their extended vision.

1725 BC: City of Funkytown is founded between Rhodes and Athens.

1700 BC: Hoplite from Delphi enters ruins partially hidden by timber, and discovers a long lost group of greek warriors.

1650 BC: Mountainside begins work on the Pyramids. Rooboy III is quoted as saying "Them boys is big!!", when announcing the major project.

City of Knossos is founded on the coast east of Argos, to provide a secondary port.

1600 BC: Slave Labour is discovered. Scientists start work on Jurispence, hoping that some sort of new more efficient government can be soon discovered.

1575 BC: City of Guido is founded south of the Grey Wombat Mountains. Guido was named after Rooboy III's middle name. The city of Guido is in a very important tactical position, in that it borders French, American and Native American territory. Production possibilities are very good here, and spice fields are also nearby.

1500 BC: Warriors entering ruins discover long lost "brothers" who form another warrior unit . Farmland is sighted, Rooboy III's advisors believe another civilization is nearby. Rooboy III is bored with ruling the Greek people, and decides to relocate full time to his bachelor pad up in the Grey Wombat Mountains where he entertains woman 365 days a year. Elections are held and....

[Gazablanca]

He is a "Greek Adonis", however, many people consider him to be ignorant, as he cannot name the leaders of France, Native America and America.

Sounds suspiciously like an ancestor of "Dubya" Bush.........

[Pilfur]

1500 B.C.E.

The election is a close race, but in the end Pilfur III emerges the next great Apolyton of the Greek people. He seems a competent but lonely man. He desires a mate, and sends his soldiers out to find him one, preferably blonde, preferably human. Scouts explore deep beyond French territory but don't find anything spectacular.

1475

The pyramids in mountainside are well underway when Pilfur orders them dismantled, and their walls are dragged to the outside of the cities to form city walls instead, for protection from the Americans.

1450

Scouts in the northwest find the great city of Berlin, a massive metropolis (size 10!) full of georgeous women with ladderhosen and beer steins. Pilfur immediately comes a runnin.

Meanwhile French mounted archers are seen passing by Athens and then re-appear near funkytown. More French units appear near the French-Greek border to the east. The people begin to get nervous, and city walls are ordered to be built all across the empire. Military units start to travel eastward as well.

1350

Jurisprudence is thought up by Pilfur. Why are we letting people rape and pillage each other? Maybe we should have laws against such things. Yes law. Law should be fun.

1300

The threat of possible french invasion has Greece's spirits just about destroyed, when the lovely Elke returns with Pilfur to Athens to be his wife. A great celebration is had, and the empires great writers record it as an epic tale of love, sex, and general grape-tossing fun. It is sold for eons to come by the name "Ramayana"

1275

The scouts in behind the French territory find wandering Nomads, who have been searching for Greece ever since reading their copy of "Ramayana". They decide to join the Greek empire... but how to get them back across potentially hostile French territory?

Frederick, leader of the Germans finally puts down his beer stein and notices that his daughter, Elke is missing. He is told that she ran off and married Pilfur and he goes ballistic. War is declared between the Greek and German people, and Greek scouts are attacked. They bravely fend the attack off and hold their ground.

Pilfur thinks of the problems with the french and sighs, seeing them about to attack Argos. Pilfur thinks of the problems with the Germans and sighs, seeing them having declared war. Pilfur thinks of his wife Elke and sighs, seeing her undress. Pilfur isn't ever heard from again.

[Skeeve]

Heh heh,
I liked that integration of the "Ramayama" wonder into the storyline.

Now, where can I get a copy of that book!?

[Rhuarc]

SOrry guys, but I'm going to have to skip this turn. My computer is throwing errors at me about missing sprites and things, I think it has to do with the MedPackII, but I'm not sure. I don't have time to fix it right now, so I forwarded the file to the next person. Thanks a lot! I'll try to be up and running for the next round!

[Immortal Wombat]

Ok Rhuarc, I'll play some time tomorrow.

Love the sig. (part 2)

[Darkknight]

Hey you lot started without me, No fair! =)

I think I'm playing two anyway so.
Have fun crushing th French and Pikemen before 2000BC, You're in for a tough time =)

[Rhuarc]

Out of town

Hey everyone,
I am going to be out of town from this upcoming Wednesday to Saturday. I think the daes are June 27th -June 30th. If it is my turn anywhere in there just send the file onto the next person. Sorry about that, my schedule for June is pretty hectic. After june is over then I should be home and able to play regularly. Thanks a lot guys!

Autobiography of Wombat IV, Greek Despot between 1250BC and 1025BC

• 1250BC - Troop exercises, and parade of honour.
• 1225BC - Elephant mine started near Athens, Troops move towards Argos, where French archers threaten the citizens.
• 1200BC - Troy completes a city wall, and begins to build settlers.
• 1175BC - We meekly request a French withdrawal, and offer our map in return for their cooperation. They agree, and the threat to Argos is lessened. Research is changed to trade so we can begin roads. This is still needed on the way to Monarchy. A granary is rush-bought in Knossos
• 1150BC - French are seen to begin withdrawal, and Wombat is quoted as saying "Its well good". Troops move westwards towards Greko-German border.
• 1125BC - Archers from CUtGWM move to patrol eastern borders with France. The City begins to build city walls.
• 1100BC - Trade is discovered. Research is re-started in Drama. Exploiting the new technology, Wombat issues a 'Road to Rhodes' project.
• 1075BC - A slaver joins the archer troops moving westwards. M'side builds a archer unit and begins a bazaar.
• 1050BC - 'Road to Rhodes' is complete, and troops can now move three times as fast towards the German border.
• 1025BC - The archers to the east ungroup to spread more ground. Warriors on the forest peninsular enter a deserted village, and finds 282 gold. Settler founds Port Blub on the northern shore of the peninsula, and a shrine is rush-bought to stem the unhappiness resulting from distance from Capitol Hill. The first unit makes its journey along the Road2Rhodes, and the project is extended to Athens and Mountainside. Wombat sees the unstoppable coming of Monarchy and decides to do a runner, leaving Athens and heading towards a certain house in the Grey Wombat mountians, where ex-despots have a habit of retiring to.

[rooboy]

Knowing that his ancestors were all womanising drinkers, Rooboy III decides that he will be forever remembered as "Rooboy the Boring."

1000 BC: Troop movement and road construction.

975 BC: Dito.

950 BC: Dito

925 BC: French continue pulling out troops.

900 BC: German city of Frankfurt is sighted, and will be a Greek city within 300 years.

875 BC: Rioting in Port Blub. Nearby warrior decides to enforce martial law.

850 BC: Drama is discovered. Philosophy is next on the hit list.

825 BC: Troop movement.

800 BC: All Greek cities are now linked by roads following the completion of the link between CUTGWM and Knossos.

775 BC: Units continue towards the German city of Frankfurt.

750 BC: Slaver on the outskirts of Strassburg. Another 2 headed for the krauts. Rooboy is not sure what to do, as he doesn't want to piss off the French until he knows the Greeks are ready to strike with force, so he leaves this decision with his successor. Bored of being boring, Rooboy hops away up to the Grey Wombat Mountains, and is never heard from again.
