SUccession Game - Page 11

Anyways, not to worry. We have Rome in our way to get to the Germans. The Germans shall soon join us under our name in our glory!

Rotten II stared sadly at one of the few surviving portraits of his imfamous ancestor, wondering how he would handle the current crisis. Mass executions of scientists, probably. Nevertheless, the end of the Pax Rotten had been disasterous for Civland, and that was a rather charitable assessment.

Rotten inhaled new world tobacco. This new import had recently become the rage amoung the wealthy, and with things as they were Rotten was an enthusiastic user. He frowned as he looked over the reports from advisors. Not enough science funds, Rottenopolis is rioting, their military outnumbers us, Rome has the Rifleman. Bad news, bad news, bad news. There was a hill to climb.

1520: Rotten puts Scientists back to work (20%) an odd move considering his ancestor's disdain for Physics. Stop-gap measures were implemented to control rioting in formerly Greek territory.

Failed offensives at Selucia and Eburam. In both cases, the knights withdraw faced with untenable situations.

Bloody fighting at Pisae. Two Roman Legions and a Longbow unit destroyed with minimal loss.

1525: Four Legions die at Pisae, at the expense of a single knight unit. Whole fields are stained red to mark the senseless sacrifices.

Thermophylae revolts, returning to Greece.

Rotten's tobacco habit doubles.

1530: Brutal fighting at Pisae. Four Legions and a Cavalry (!) unit are defeated with minimal loss.

1535: The battle around Pisae has become the stuff of legend. In a final insane push the Romans sacrifice two more legions and a longbow unit on the altar of war. Dismayed by the carnage, Caeser accepts peace talks, paying a tribute of 31 gold.

Pisae renamed Civblood to commerate the battles there.

1540: A general shift to peacetime economy.

New Frankfurt overthrows the Germans and joins Civland!

1545: Civblood is garrisoned, perhaps for future conflict. (Note to others: garrisoning conquered cities prevents "flipping." Losing Corinith really broke my heart.

1550: Knights move against Greece to avenge the vile assualt of this decadent "culture."

1555: Seige laid on Thermophylae.

Military Tradition discovered. Rotten bitterly suggests that the knowledge be put in an envelope and mailed back a hundred years or so.

1560: Thermophylae recaptured. What Rotten calls "The Greek Tradegy" has been avenged. (be sure to garrison this city, next person!)

1565: Cavalry will ship off to the new world from Hiobane.

Peace concluded with France in exchange for Grenoble and Chartes.

Rotten II dies of a strange lung condition that may have been related to his aggressive "stress-busting" habit. His reign sees the restoration of a stable situation, the acquistion of three cities, and hopefully a bright future.

Notes: Zululand had no interest in any kind of alliance against Rome. Understandable, considering how weak they are.

We were lucky to get a status quo peace, in my opinion. Rome has Cavalry and Riflemen...against knights.

The game will not give us a leader! I must have had at least six elite victories!

Our new world position will improve when the "cavalary arrives."

Zeroing science..not a great idea.

Anyway, things look better. I enjoyed the challenge.

Pary everyone!
Godinex is near to come!
Pray!

civman2000 · March 20, 2002, 13:07

i'll play this afternoon...trade for nationalism if possible...big question when we get it: draft riflemen or upgrade...in big cities draft'll be better, and upgrade in smaller cities when the loos of 1 person and 1 unhappy person is more sginificant...

godinex · March 20, 2002, 13:18

The glorius hand of the holy king is near to us!
The magnificiemt of his name is knowed by the generations!
The time is ending!
Pray!

Rotten999 · March 20, 2002, 14:11

If we'd just waited until military tradition to start a war...if wishes were horses, they would be traded as a strategic resource.

How much longer until Communism?

Loading the save and wincing...the true joy of the succession game!

As long as no more cities undergo preventable culture flips, I'm happy.

Sovy Kurosei · March 20, 2002, 14:24

Bah! Dang Romans! We had them on their knees!

Hehehhe... Can't wait til round two shapens up

godinex · March 20, 2002, 16:18

Infidels!

No more war, make love not the war!
Give a chance to the Republic.

Sovy Kurosei · March 20, 2002, 17:31

But no war is boring...

Plus, the Romans have Newtons University! We MUST take back what is rightfully ours!

"take back"?????

PS: ill probsbly stay at "war" with greece (but no artime production/aggression) just so we dont have to bvreak another treaty if we lose another city...

godinex · March 20, 2002, 18:18

Tremble to the precious heart of Godinex I, the fair!
His hand will guide our nation to infinite and beyond!

Sovy Kurosei · March 20, 2002, 19:13

Yes Civman, they took.

In my term, on the date of 1475 AD, I began construction of the Newton's University. A few turns later, the Romans took it for themselves.

Obviouslly, they stole OUR wonder for themselves! They must perish!

Sovy Kurosei · March 20, 2002, 19:15

Oh, yeah, my concept of how my wars work

Shove troops down the enemies throat until the bugger suffocates to death!

Hehehehehehehhehehe!

godinex · March 20, 2002, 20:08

Sovy Kurosei, the devil own Your Soul!

civman2000 · March 20, 2002, 20:13

What an observer might think:
civman2000--the pacifist overzealous scientist
Sovy Kurosei--the over-aggressive ultra-warmonger
godinex--the ultra-religious pacifist prophet

"Saint Civman" urges you to have more respect for visitors and be more open-minded!

Sovy Kurosei · March 20, 2002, 23:30

Eh? The only devil is myself

Heheheheh... More like a Zealous super fanatic, ultra warmongerer!

Can I have that title! Please?

Sovy Kurosei · March 20, 2002, 23:31

*Just noticed he was upgraded to 'Warlord'* Hehehehhe

Journier · March 21, 2002, 01:58

crazy game guys.

Ive been reading about u guys playing this game for like... weeks

I finally got around to loading one of ur games and omg

I cant believe how bad ur econ is. :/

And whats up with all all those cities making military units that wont complete for more then 20 turns :/

Least i would do is make them atliest worth.
But since u guys are at war continuously i understand why :/

gg

Journier · March 21, 2002, 01:59

PS
Longbows = cheaper and if u can micro them fairly well they are better then musket men. The attack is main point

Sovy Kurosei · March 21, 2002, 14:22

The problem with Longbowmen is because of their speed. If we decided to attack, knights would be able to ride in, and we wouldn't have to worry about losing units until we have already taken a city ( Like Piscae )

If Longbowmen were used, not only will it take twice as long as to reach the target, but by that time, reinforcements would have arrived.

godinex · March 21, 2002, 16:28

The LongBow are good but they can`t retreat. At last will be more expensive... so say the Prophet

civman2000 · March 21, 2002, 18:05

i was really busy last night so i only got a few turns done...but horrible news!! Rome had 5 units or so in our territory in various places and it was very annoying...they declered war when i asked them to leave

i cant either, and im IN the game...its because everyone else always is automating the workers, sovy kurosei is ALWAYS getting us into a war (he might have made maybe 1 round without a war) so we cant focus on improving our cities...we've expanded too quickly, we must stop to improve the territory we've got (just as close as a 20-30 squares or so away from our capital there is still a very low quality city (my example is Szlith, but there are a few others too)!)

Journier · March 21, 2002, 19:01

war is fine..

its just war in republic government is the stupidest idea anyone ever thought of.

and i played umm sovy's last save game out and i held against rome and started pushing them back to rome and veil?? not sure of that city's name :/

And i got a hero both times i tried to play the save game :/
Rushed the smith's wonder :/ and it gave me a positive like +46 income.

U guys should seriously cancel the war with rome for 20 turns(atliest).
Ur econ is dying and that luxury crap is killing u.

heh yea i saw those workers going on auto...

u guys should lay off the republic government and go back to a monarchy i guarentee u will be pulling in 100+ gold a turn and ull be able to kill that gay luxury at 50% :/

and putting 2 musketmen in each city in peacetime might help...

<--sounds like a lamer.

Those riflemen roxxored like 5 of my knights when i tried to take veil. Then the 2 knights left over were massacred by junk units rome was creating to try to push me back with :/

civman2000 · March 21, 2002, 20:35

yeah, i tried to get peace...but i cant stand having 5 roman units running around in our territory...i asked politely....Kurosei started it all anyway, it was relly dumb to start a war...thats why i went to republic, to force him into peace!!
