Civ3 SUCESSION GAME anyone? - Page 3

Jonny · November 10, 2001, 07:34

I'm posting this from a laptop away from my home. I won't be able to play until tomorrow afternoon (CST), but it will still be in my 72 hour limit.

Jonny · November 12, 2001, 16:42

Actually, just skip my turn. I'm trying to clean up from where Civ3 has ruined my life.

Actually, I have too many things to do.

aebbeka · November 12, 2001, 18:45

330 BC - Our galley sunk because the captian has trouble telling the difference between shallow and deep water.
310 BC - The Bartrian tribe taught us Mathematics.
250 BC - We comepleted the Colossus.
90 BC - Monarcy is discovered. Researched started on Code of Laws. Oh my god! It's an Anarchy!
70 BC - A road to a Japanese city is completed. Unfortunately, they don't have a road connecting that city to their capitol, so no trade can be done, yet...
50 BC - Babylon demanded that we give them the Monarchy tech. I gave in. Their army greatly outnumbers us. 1 person dies in Gordium due to hunger. It was either 1 death or corruption.

Other than that, a few grainaries were built. On to MacTBone.

Eli · November 13, 2001, 07:11

MacTBone, you're next.

Btw, why dont we move to email? Searching for this thread in the forums all the time is annoying.

Well, you could bookmark the thread with your browser, I suppose. Or subscribe to this thread. Or, I guess we could move to e-mail, but it's not the most desirable option to me, because if we post it here, other people can download it and see how we are going.

mactbone · November 13, 2001, 11:24

We could move it to Civ3 Story. Either just start posting there or have Markos or someone else move this thread there.

Eli · November 13, 2001, 12:10

I'll PM Markos now.

zapperio · November 13, 2001, 13:43

I don't necessarily want to get a competition going but you guys should study the '6000 years' thread. It sure gets sweet when you spice it up with some graphics and detail.

Being stuck in the Jungle pits we really got screwed didn't we? Oh well.

I'm not going to write a turn by turn analysis so....
I check out the map, and decide to talk to everyone. Boy, what you can get for your world map! I got Philosophy, a lot of maps and some lump sum gold. Then I sold monarchy to the Chinese for a couple of techs, gold and maps. Then eventually I wrangled Construction out of the Japs. IMHO, we reall need to worry about the Japs, they dropped a settler in between Pasagarde and Persepolis. It'll be swallowed up by culture, but...

Not a whole lot happened when building (had to endure 4 turns of anarchy! at the beginning!), after I got out of anarchy I had construction so I had Persepolis, Pasagarde and the city right above it switch to aqueducts. Now those are done and The city above Persepolis is building the Great Lighthouse. Pasagarde is building a colloseum for two reasons, one the citizens keep revolting, two it'll help capture that stinkin' Jap city.

Gotta warn everyone, right on my last turn it said there was a barbarian uprising near Antioch. Antioch is the city waaaaay up there near the desert. So some troops are enroute to help garrison Antioch. I think almost all Barbarians are dead, but we'll see what happens.

mactbone · November 13, 2001, 21:24

Oh, BTW, we're in the Renaissance/Medieval now. Our free tech was Monotheism.

Jonny · November 15, 2001, 20:44

Redstar1 has about 24 1/2 hours to play.

BTW, this thread has been moved to Civ3-Stories thread, if you haven't figured that out. Then again, if you didn't know that, you probably wouldn't be reading this.

aebbeka · November 15, 2001, 21:30

I wondered why I couldn't find it......
Luckily I was subscribed to it and got an email when you posted!

Eli · November 16, 2001, 02:24

I PMed redstar1 that the thread was moved. Maybe he didnt play yet because he doesnt knows.

redstar1 · November 16, 2001, 05:50

Ahha, this is where you went to

I'll be able to play it tonight but if you don't want to wait then feel free to move on to the next player. Let me know either way.

Dave

Eli · November 16, 2001, 08:15

I can wait.

redstar1 · November 18, 2001, 08:55

Best play on lads. Not at home and don't have the Civ3 cd.

Red

Eli · November 18, 2001, 10:38

Ok.

Eli · November 18, 2001, 11:45

~10 Barbarian horsemen attacked near Antioch. Surprisingly, they didnt attack the city but the colonies. Both colonies were destroyed, we lost one defending spearman and one worker. This caused disorders in the big cities, and new workers are being built now to rebuild the colonies.
I made a decision to attack the barbarian camp on the north, to avoid another surprise attack. The chinese destroyed it before my immortals came.
Seeing that we have lots of money, I decided to rush build a few workers and granaries here and there.

, I also lost our galley. But it was pretty useless anyway.

Also, the Zulus built another city in the middle of our empire...

It will be harder to swallow it though.
In 410AD I demanded the Babylonians to get their forces out, but they decided to declare war. I killed their warrior with an immortal, and started a completely unplanned Golden Age.
In 420AD Persepolis started building a Cathedral, that Japanese city is annoying me.
The Babylonians founded a city near the spot where the Barb camp stood. I'm sending there two immortals.
We got Theology! Pasaragdae is building the Sistine Chapel(instead of the lighthouse), and now we're reasearching the printing press, on the way to democracy.
490AD - Adab, the Babylonian city, is conquered.

Summary:
Everything went peacefully, except the barbarian invasion and the war with the Babylonians. I was mostly busy with building stuff in cities, and removing jungles. We now have more libraries, marketplaces, colloseums etc.

Next!

Jonny · November 20, 2001, 19:45

I accidentaly played, even though it's not my turn. Could I go ahead and post, then let John-SJ play, then Aebbeka?

Please?

I feel so stupid.

John-SJ · November 21, 2001, 21:11

Jonny,

Why don't you go ahead and post your turn now. I just this minute found out that Eli had moved, since I didn't get any e-mail I didn't know. I'll play after you this round.

John-SJ

Jonny · November 22, 2001, 01:52

OK, here it is.

500 - King Jonny II comes to power in the midst of a golden age! He wants to have his name in the history books, but doesn't everyone?

510 - As part of his plan, Jonny II gets peace with Babylon. It does cost us 107 gold, but we have plenty and they only have 10.

520 - Jonny II orders more defense in colones. King quoted as saying "We must protect our luxuries from the impeding attack."

530 - Jonny II asks Japanese troops to leave, they say yes.

540 - Jonny II declares war on the Japanese!! He says "They have crossed our borders for the last time! I'm also conquering so I have empty land to build the rural mansion I am to retire to."

550 - Our mighty army takes the cities of Fukushimo and Hakodate.

570 - The alchemists discover printing press. They start on feudalism.

580 - We try to sign a peace treaty with the Japanese, but they murder and hang our diplomatic envoy on arrival.

590 - The Japanese cut off one of our supplies of iron.

600 - Enemy troops mass near Tarsus. Jonny II notices that there is only one spearman defending there. He asks people to "Keep Tarsus in your prayers."

610 - We discover feudalism. We begin work on chivalry.

620- Our golden age ends. We begin work on Sun Tzu's art of War in Persepolis.

630 - The enemy destroys a no longer needed colony.

640 - We capture Matsuyama. We get peace. 'The Lone Spearman of Tarsus' becomes the first book other than religious materials to be printed on a printing press.

650 - We meet the French. We trade maps and see that they are behind in tech and small.

660 - Jonny II's expansion scheme continues when New Zimbabwe becomes part of our Civ.

670 - The sistine chapel is completed.

680 - Jonny II begins the National Barracks Campaign to make it easier to upgrade soldiers.

Well, John has 7 hours to post. I hope he knows that it is his turn and that I have posted.

John-SJ · November 25, 2001, 11:20

Yeah, I knew it was my turn, but with the holiday, long weekend, company, etc. I just forgot. Oh well, I'll catch my turn next time around...

edit: Eli, sorry, I inadvertantly pressed the "deny receipt" button on the pm you sent.

John-SJ

aebbeka · November 26, 2001, 19:17

I guess that makes it my turn.

700 AD - We acquire Republic from the Zulu
730 AD - Culture causes Persepolis' borders to expand and the people love me.
750 AD - Our puny city of Matsuyama has turned over to the Japanese due to cultural influence. Drat the luck!
760 AD - The Japanese yell at me because I have troops near THEIR city of Matsuyama. Well sor-ry!
770 AD - The Japanese flip out because that one unit can't leave fast enough. They threaten war if it isn't moved. I notice an army of 6 military units (mostly swordsman) and 3 settlers approaching. Also Fukushima has fallen under Japanese control also due to culture. The kicker is that this one isn't even bordering Japan. It's in the middle of our empire!

That is it! I've only done 8 turns and have had nothing but bad happen. Whoever is next, it's your problem now.

Eli · November 27, 2001, 06:31

MacTBone is next.

mactbone · November 27, 2001, 22:09

Well, I discovered the Indians and English through the French. Then I started a war with Japan because they were pissing me off. We captured two cities and got Babylon involved then sued the Japanese for peace and 20 gold a turn. Now the Japanese are getting their arses kicked by the Babylons. Stupid Japanese completed the Art of War before did. No one wants to trade Education away! We've got a fair amount of Immortals and several Knights are in production. We also have pikemen in almost every city now.

Jonny · December 1, 2001, 23:44

Redstar1's time has expired. It is now Eli's turn.

Eli · December 2, 2001, 09:49

Sorry guys, but I'll have to skip my turn for this time.

No time.

Jonny · December 2, 2001, 14:41

It's now John-SJ's turn. (Not mine!

)
