Very good. I'll have my ten turns up in a couple hours.

Steele

Coinich · February 22, 2002, 15:56

Steele - you get 20 turns your first time up, 15 your second, and 10 from then on out. You get 20 turns this time up

Thanks for informing me of that. I mis-understood the policy. I was just about to post my results and the .sav, but it'll have to wait. I'll have it up within four hours.

Right on! Good run. Sorry to hear about Civ City. We vow to rebuild it!

Death to the Aztecs

Sovy Kurosei · February 22, 2002, 21:28

C'mon Civman! The Aztecs are our enemy! DEATH TO THE ENEMY!

Rebuild Civ City! Our beloved Capital!

civman2000 · February 22, 2002, 21:58

cmon, give me some time...i just downloaded it...i might not have the results until tomorrow morning

...no pics?

steelehc · February 22, 2002, 22:12

I made a couple screenshots, I guess I forgot to put them in the zip. Sorry about that...

The razing of Civ City was my own fault

, I built it in the wrong spot, right next to an Aztec city. Oh well. Kill em anyway.

Steele

civman2000 · February 22, 2002, 23:12

well put em up soon...

Sovy Kurosei · February 23, 2002, 01:42

Eh? Oh well, we can wait

civman2000 · February 23, 2002, 10:20

i WAS going to post it last night, but when i clicked to submit, APOLYTON WAS DOWN!!!(or at least nothing would load, but other sites were loading)...

I had painstakingly worked on it for 45 minutes!!! I had even been copying it as i went along to avoid this problem, but when i tried to paste into notepad, it wouldnt let me!!!!!!! Im still too frustrated to do it all again, so does anyone mind if i just give you the highlights and leave out the turn-by-turn stuff??

civman2000 · February 23, 2002, 10:32

Here are the highlights:

1. Production
Our first horsemen are built
Civville switches from pyramids to oracle, completes oracle

2. Military/enemies
Teotihuacan falls, renamed New Civ City
Zulus build 3 cities east of us...MUST BE DESTROYED
Texcoco destroyed, our archers are closing in on last aztec city, tlatelolco

3. Foreign relations
Bought contact w/Germans, philosophy from chinese
Make peace w/Babylon for 16 gold, ashur (the only city other than their capital!). Ashur is very far away and near chinese territroy, and undefended!! For this reason, i renamed it "Civ's Edge"

4. Science
Increased science rate
Map making discovered, now researching code of laws

5 Other/Misc.
Renamed every city we captured to something civ-related or related to our names
Civburg founded
Workers put into teams of 3-5, work on improving ONLY squares that are being worked (or building irrigation/roads in order to be able to irrigate/road the squares that need it).

6. Advice for Sovy Kurosei II
Trade maps (i discovered mapmaking on my last turn and i didnt have a chance)
Kill aztecs, then kill zulus
Get iron

Oops, when i originally posted this i didnt put up the saved game!...Oh, and ive got a lot of screenshots so theyre in a separate file...arg, it doesnt let me add an attachment when i modify!

civman2000 · February 23, 2002, 10:38

ok heres the game...

civman2000 · February 23, 2002, 10:43

and here are the pics...

Sovy Kurosei · February 23, 2002, 15:06

Alright, got the map. 15 turns are about to get underway now!

BTW, the screenshots zip file is corrupted...

civman2000 · February 23, 2002, 18:02

OK, i'll try again...

civman2000 · February 23, 2002, 18:08

try it now

Sovy Kurosei · February 23, 2002, 19:35

The Zip file still doesn't work

Maybe post the pics up one by one? Or check if one of the pics is corrupted?

Anyways, here is my turns, and the save. I'll post the screenshots next post.

730 BC - Sovy Kurosei relaunches the offensive against the Aztecs! He also changes the sciences so that we may begin learning Polytheism, to attain the mighty Monarchy Government before others can.

710 BC - The evil Zulu's have completed the Colossus Monument! It must be taken back in the name of our Civilization!

690 BC - Wonderful news! We have finally taken the Aztec Capital, Tlatelolco, and destroyed their Puny civilization! Kudos goes to the single archer who was partially damage in the assault! As well, we have exchanged 70 units of gold for the mathematics knowledge from the Vile Zulu's.

670 BC - Great Jimmney Jenkins! The Zulu's have attempted to mug us out on our precious Map Making knowledge! Upon our refusal, we have been declared on by the vile beings! DEATH TO THE ZULU's!

650 BC - Ah-ha! We have razed one of the Zulu's Outpost towns, and continue on to the next! They will be crushed under our heal!

630 BC - Another victory! We have destroyed an Impi and a Zulu Archer! They are weaking, slowly but surely!

610 BC - Another victory for us! We have destroyed the foolish Zulu Horseman, while not taking any damage ourselves! As well as destroying the pitiful Zulu Warrior who ventured out too far!

590 BC - Foolish Zulu's! They refuse to seek peace! For their foolishness, we will destroy them! We approach another town as we speak!

570 BC - By George! We have razed 3 of the idiotic Zulu cities to the ground! The Zulu Leader still refuses to give an honourable unconditional surrender... So be it!

550 BC - We approach Bapedi, and destroyed their opposing archer, as well as their puny Impi unit!

530 BC - We have finally destroyed their last Impi unit stationed at Bapedi! Bapedi is razed to the ground!

510 BC - Finally, the war mongering Zulu leader Shaka signs the peace treaty, handing over the Code of Laws learning, as well as one of the Zulu Cities! Many of Civtopia cheer at the peace signing!

490 BC - A peaceful time for all... An exchange of maps yeilds the rest of the world! And my goodness! We are so small compared to the others! We have begun mass settlerization, as well as positing horseman in Civopolis incase the Zulu's decide to threaten our civilization again!

470 BC - The puny Babylonians are tempting to take Civ's Edge... After a word of warning, they begin to pull back their soldiers.

450 BC - This is the final turn of the Sovy Kurosei Regime. Our highlights were the discovery of the Code of Laws technology, and Polytheism. As well as the crippling of the Zulu Empire by ripping a total of 6 cities, out of the original 8 that were in the Zulu Empire! And finally, the complete destruction of the Meek Aztecs under the rule of Sovy Kurosei, the Empire Destroyer.

Hints to the next guy: The Zulu's are annoying, don't you agree? You got about 4 Horsemen in Civopolis and a few more units heading to Civopolis. I pray you know what to do with these units

Sovy Kurosei · February 23, 2002, 19:37

BTW, I just noticed the coal stockpile beside Civopolis. Get some workers to build a road to it, so we can get our Swordsmen going soon.

Sovy Kurosei · February 23, 2002, 19:40

Oh! And here is the piccies!

Coinich · February 24, 2002, 03:18

OK - I'm up next. May be a day's delay. Between family, work and school it sometimes takes me a while to get to Civ games. I beg your indulgence.

Wish me luck against the Zulus

Coinich · February 24, 2002, 05:22

Well, whatdya know. I found some time

Here's the results:

450BC: Nothing much - continued mining/irrigation. Traded maps w/Persians.

430BC: Began staging all troops in Civopolis. Build the city of Civ Hills City.

410 BC: Moved out troops to staging location for attack on Zimbabwe. Decided not to attack Zulus pending completion of current expansion efforts (i.e. we lock them in and then attack at our liesure)

390 BC: Exploration and infrastructure building.

370 BC: Same

350 BC: City of Spite founded on Zulu's front door.

330 BC: City of Civ-in-the-Hills founded to the east. City of Civ Foreston founded south of Spite, effectively locking down Zulu expansion.

310 BC: Exploration and infrastructure building.

290 BC: Same. Roadway completed to bring iron supplies to cities from Iron Colony.

270 BC: Began swordsman regiment construction in Civmanton and Kuroseiberg.

250 BC: Traded maps with China. Continued exploration and infrastructure building.

230 BC: Exploration and Infrastructure building

210 BC: Temple completed in Civville, Pyramids ordered restarted.

190 BC: City of Chokepoint is built to check Japanese expansion.

170 BC: City of Honolulu founded (ran out of Civ names, and I live there so I like the name). 1st Swordsman regiment produced. Ordered to join troops waiting to strike Zulus (after defenses are made in nearby new cities). Traded Literature for Map & 30GP from Greeks.

Notes: Wanted to get defensive units in cities before attacking Zulus. Also - aren't horses going to be less effective against Impi (spears?). Had several cities in disorder. Need temples etc.

Good job by all so far

Coinich · February 24, 2002, 05:23

And here is the .sav game file

Sovy Kurosei · February 24, 2002, 06:17

NOTE:

Somebody TRY and take Zimbabwa ASAP. They have the Collossus Wonder. And try and take monarchy soon, so we can get all the nice income bonuses

Sovy Kurosei · February 24, 2002, 06:23

Oh, yeah, the horses thing...

It doesn't really matter. Power and Speed is a must... 20 horses against 4 Impi's will yeild losses, but we'll have zimbabwa!

Throw everything at them! Get the ice cream vendor! Ram it into those Zulu's too! Get the Kettles! Pots and pans! Somebody get the pots and pans and throw it at the Zulu's too!

Somebody get a gallery and invade Egypt while your at it!

Sovy Kurosei · February 24, 2002, 06:28

civman2000 · February 24, 2002, 10:15
