You're right.

We're actually 5th place out of the 7 civs we know on the histograph screen. (We haven't met Germany yet.)

civman2000 · April 29, 2002, 18:39

I'm still here, but I don't know about Journier.

According to Journier's profile, the last time he posted was on April 13th, when he said:

Quote:

ive been in bed for past 2 days with the worse flu of my life

Hopefully it wasn't so bad that he still has it.

Rotten played last time, so I think he's still here. Should we go ahead and pass the game to Rotten?

civman2000 · April 29, 2002, 21:47

sure...although he hasnt been posting recently that I know of

...

We might need to recruit some more players....

Rotten999 · April 30, 2002, 11:06

I'll go again if you like.

civman2000 · April 30, 2002, 16:59

yes please do

jongon · May 1, 2002, 00:55

I'll play

Rotten999 · May 1, 2002, 06:37

The turns should be up by this evening.

Rotten999 · May 1, 2002, 22:10

Not much in terms of turn-by-turn, so here's a summary.

Science cut to 10%. Researching on this level is a waste of resources...too bad we didn't know that earlier...regent strategies aren't going to pull this one out.

Traded for Invention and Engineering.

Signed a Mutual protection/Right of Passage with Persia.

Looks like it's time to trash the Aztecs, aided by our powerful new ally.

Upgrading/Building knights. They should be of some use, I hope.

Our knights are in position to attack the Aztecs, but I'll leave it to the next person's discretion.

Free advice for next player: Hopefully we can get some table scraps from a war with Persia as an ally. At the very least, we can outlast someone and at least see a few beat up faces on the "you lost" screen.

Rotten999 · May 1, 2002, 22:12

The file.

civman2000 · May 2, 2002, 17:16

will play this afternoon but I may not be able to post up till tomorrow...

civman2000 · May 2, 2002, 17:17

jongon you can join right after me if that's ok with everyone else.

Jonny · May 2, 2002, 19:44

Jongon, you're certainly welcome to play.

Looks like the order of turns is now this:
[list=1][*]Jonny[*]Journier (?)[*]Rotten999[*]Civman2000[*]Jongon[/list=1]

jongon · May 2, 2002, 20:17

i've been playing since november and this

Domestic:
In 1090 most cities were switched to commercial production to get money to upgrade our army. A harbor was built in Babylon and we can now trade with everyone as a result.

Trade:
Traded silks for gems w/iroqs in 1100.
Renewed iron trade with Persia for gems and 6 gold per turn (gpt).
Traded wines for dyes with Germany in 1170.Discovered we have no source of saltpeter

.

Military:
Went to war with the Aztecs in 1090 after renegotiating peace led them to only accepting if we gave them gems. Tula was captured in 1100, and then a series of battles in Persia resulted. Although they did attack our units, for some reason Persia never joined the war. In the treaty we got Tamuin, gunpowder, 53 gold, and their territory map. Our knight-longbow army is getting quite large and the upgrade process is nearly halfway done. Pikemen are being built in Babylon and sent off to the other cities for defense.

Foreign:
MPP ended in 1265 and the RoP was renewed for 4 gpt and 67 gold.
An embassy was built in England in 1240.

Science:
We bought chemistry from the iroqs in 1220 and currently are researching theology. 2 techs were gained: chemistry and gunpowder.

World Headlines/Other:
England was destroyed by the iroqs in 1270!

civman2000 · May 2, 2002, 21:15

and the world:

Rotten999 · May 2, 2002, 22:09

We won a war!

Too bad we're so resource poor...perhaps a continued alliance with Persia will help that situation...until it's time to extract revenge from them, of course. Trades or not, they're still our
blood enemies!

Rotten999 · May 2, 2002, 22:11

Jongon: Welcome aboard!

To post a save use the "add to zip" option on the .SAV file, and then attach it under the, well, attach option. If I can figure it out, you'll be fine.

jongon · May 3, 2002, 02:14

trickey · May 3, 2002, 17:59

If guys need an extra player, count me in. If ya dont then its cool too ill just keep reading ypur reports.

Jonny · May 3, 2002, 23:24

Trickey, you're more than welcome to play. Looks like this succession game is getting revived from the world of the almost dead.

In fact, if you want to play, go ahead and take your turn, since we are at the end of the turn cycle, and you would be added on at the end.

trickey · May 4, 2002, 07:12

Not much eally happened. Ithink were going tto have to make a move soon and attck someone.

Jonny · May 5, 2002, 23:34

Well, I'm afraid you have to skip me again...

I'm going out of town May 6 - May 9, and I have no time to play

but I'll be back next round!

BTW, here's the new turn order:

1. Jonny
2. Journier (??)
3. Rotten999
4. Civman2000
5. jongon
6. trickey

DhulKhidr · May 7, 2002, 16:44

I'd like to try. But to be honest, I have never played at the Monarch level. I have, at best, led a miserable existence on the Warlord level, so beware my inexperience. If not, that's fine. I have enjoyed the postings and will continue to read on.

civman2000 · May 7, 2002, 17:05

sure you can join...let's skip journier and advance to rotten...

Rotten999 · May 7, 2002, 18:15

I should have the turns by this evening.

Rotten999 · May 7, 2002, 21:20

I can't open the zip file! What's the story?
