bc Bloodlust Challenge, 2nd Fortnight

[Oldman]

Well, it's been a fortnight since the last one so i figure i'll keep the ball rolling myself!!!

You play as St David of the Welsh!!!
Deity
Small Random Map
7 Civs
Raging Hordes!!
File: bcb2a.zip


I was going to post Adams, SOC1 game but i still couldn't load it on my computer!!!! if someone has a version that works, e-mail it to me, and i'll post it for bcb3!!!!! I couldn't get Shaka's sav game to load on my pc either?!?! what's going on...

And the log info, we had a variety of logs for the bcb1. Take a look at Table1 and make sure you include the items listed!!! and also just try and keep a record of things you do. ie cities you take over, cities you found, what you find in huts, outcomes of main fights etc... but don't go overboard, make sure you have fun!!! and if anyone has any suggestions for other items/events or anything else that may be important, post your idea...

Edited: Dead links... and technical difficulties!?!??!

Oldman - Don't you ever sleep?

Forget Civ for one night - and go talent spotting in Uxbridge!

Oldman,

I don't think you had the "Don't restart eliminated Civs" option turned on for this one.

If there is a way I can turn it on myself, I would have, but I didn't find it. I don't know if you did this by design or not, but I think if you kill a civ before 1ad (or maybe it's 1000bc), then they are automatically restarted.

Oh well, here is my log of the (aborted) attempt at the game:

____________________________________


1st: Mongols (3200bc)
2nd: Egyptians (2850bc)
3rd: Japanese (2650bc)
4th: Babylonians (by the hand of the Germans – 2400bc)
5th: Germans (2250bc)
6th:

Remaining: At LEAST the Aztecs, Celts, Persians, and Souix from the "top-5" cities list.
CHEAT MODE revealed the French were also still alive

Writing: n/a
Monarchy: n/a
Fuedalism: n/a
Chivalry: n/a
End: n/a

No wonders completed

4000bc- Since my location is at (14,40), I assume I am in the SW corner of the land mass
Move one settler generally north, and one settler generally east
3950bc- hut-Masonry (dang!)
3850bc- hut-Horseback Riding (double-dang!); another hut-horsemen
3800bc- wondering if this is an island – by what I can see of the shores, looks like I can go west
3600bc- hut-50gold
3550bc- Mongols: peace, no alliance, no tribute
3500bc- hut-archers
3400bc- Celts: peace, no alliance, no tribute; trade for alphabet
3300bc- hut-horsemen; hut-pottery
3200bc- attack Karakorum with 2 horsemen. Fortified warrior (on river) kills first horseman; 2nd horseman kills the weakened warrior (not a “week-end warrior”) and takes the city; Mongols destroyed
3150bc- hut-50gold
3100bc- Persians: peace, no alliance; ceremonial burial as tribute; hut-map making; share maps with all
Egyptians: peace, alliance; share maps
2900bc- Break alliance with Egyptians; attack size-2 Thebes and kill a fortified warrior
2850bc- Finish the job on Thebes; Egyptians destroyed; Hut-archers
2750bc- Japanese (uh, oh. They have Bronze working): peace, no alliance, no tribute, share maps
2700bc- lose an archer to the fortified phlanx in Kyoto; Horseman kills it
2650bc- Kyoto counter-attacks with a warrior, who dies; I take over Kyoto; Japanese destroyed;
Kyoto is building settlers
2450bc- Germans; peace, no alliance, share maps-only one city and no bronze working
2400bc- attack Berlin’s fortified warrior on river with archer; warrior destroyed
Babylonian civilization destroyed by the germans
2350bc- Germans counterattack with Chariot; it hits once and dies; allowing archer to walk in
Berlin destroyed.
2250bc- Find 2nd German city and destroy it; Germans destroyed
1750bc- hut-archers
1550bc- Aztecs? I thought I already killed the Egyptians—how can I find aztecs?

Oh well, starting over – I guess Oldman forgot the “restarting civs” thing. I confirmed it by checking the “top-5 cities” box, and even though I killed the Mongols; “Little Bighorn” is on the list. Oh well.

I was doing pretty well until I captured Kyoto. I didn’t want any cities, but I also didn’t want the Japanese to live any longer (since they had Bronze Working). The Celts were getting a little big, but if the world wrapped around (not an “island”), then I would have some horsemen down there soon. I was coming in on both sides of the Persian capital, but I don’t know how many new cities they had.

Oh b******s!! i'll fix it and repost the scenario, sorry about that Vik. I'll table what you've done anyway and asterisk it or something?!?! unless you want to try again?

Scouse, Talent spotting in Uxbridge? you've never been to Uxbridge have you? about the only talent in Uxbridge is how so many imbeciles oc-exist in the local area?!!?!? ha ha, I've honestly not played civ for at least a week now, and won't get chance to play for another 3 or so... And don't get me started on the sleep thing!??! i keep on getting nagged by this guy at work, it's like being married?!?!!? ha ha,

[MacUser]

I played it even with the civs restarting, but it won't matter as at 1700 I've been hammered by barbs!

[vik]

Oldman,

If you edit it, I'll try it again. Just understand that my results will be tainted since I've already seen the map.

I also suggest you edit the first message in this thread so that other players won't download the original BCB2 scenario and encounter the same difficulties.

[Oldman]

Good point about the link Vik!!! it shouldn't matter too much about you knowing where to go, but i'll take it into consideration and add, say 500 years to your score?!?! ha ha, just kidding!!!!!! i'll sort it out this evening and have it working my 8pm GMT!!!

Well... aren't you a little bit late?

[Oldman]

Sorry Silver,
I kind of went out for drink after work with my mate mark, just one i said!!!!! but it turned into a dozen and i got home at 1 and passed out!!! and last night i went to a Battle of the Bands final or something, great fun!!!!! i should be able to do this after noon! i'll post a message when i get around to it!!!!

[Oldman]

Finally i've updated thescenario!!!!!! so here it is: bcb2a.zip
