it's not a zip, just a raw savegame

Rotten999 · May 8, 2002, 10:32

NOW I've got it...it took me long enough to figure out "zip" files.

Rotten999 · May 8, 2002, 15:16

Turn Results: War, Peace, and LOOOOONNNGGGG lags between turns on my computer.

Military: Massive Upgrading. Declared war on American, bringing in Persia with us. Took Buffalo (it was defended by a Spearman!!!!). Lost Tamuin. Retoke it. Lost it. Peace concluded with American. Now, Persia is rapidly crushing America with a HUGE army of Infantry.

Science: Bought Economics and Banking for a total of 450 Gold. Discovered Astronomy.

Commerce: Banks being built. Traded several luxuries. Harbor built in Buffalo gives us another luxury.

Culture: Built Universities/Cathedrals in main territory. Strengthening border cities. Still, we aren't impressing anyone.

Bottom Line: It was too soon for war, we got lucky with the way it turned out. We'll need at least Tanks...with our strong economy we can buy advances, at least. The lags are unbelievable...hate the modern era for that. Especially when the ostensible date is 1500.

Rotten999 · May 8, 2002, 15:18

Here's the file!

civman2000 · May 8, 2002, 18:00

...I should have my turns up at latest tomorrow afternoon

civman2000 · May 9, 2002, 11:47

Science:
THe greatest scientific age in the history of Babylon. I increased science 10%, doubling our research rate at the cost of only 16 gold per turn. I bought the following techs in the following order from Persia for a total of 2791 gold: physics, magnetism, theory of gravity, steam power, democracy, free artistry, navigation, industialization, and medicine. We also got nationalism free for getting to the industial age! That's 10 advances in 20 turns!!!

Domestic:
Cities continue to build improvements, workers beginning to make railroads. Babylon is now building wall street. We had two revolutions: to republic 1590-5 (why didn't we do this earlier??) and to democracy 1640-5.

Trade:
We traded wines for coal with the iroqs. We have 2 untapped coal sources in our territory. We renewed our gem-iron trade for 100 gold.

Military:
Almost every city now has a rifleman unit, as soon as a city builds a barracks please upgrade its most advanced unit!

Foreign:
Granted many foreign demands. We must continue to do so and AVOID WAR AT ALL COSTS!!

Please continue 20% science and buying from persia asap. We have passed Zulus on every histogram and are closing in on them in science!! I'm at school now, the savegame will be posted this afternoon

That sounds great! I've been monitoring the situation and I have been feeling overwhelmed about the poor prospects. Your news is music to my ears.

DhulKhidr · May 11, 2002, 09:46

I have the save. Will start today.

DhulKhidr · May 11, 2002, 16:45

Basic Information
Foreign Affairs:
We have a MPP with Persia
The Persians destroyed the Aztecs. There are only 4 Civs left (Germans, Iroquois, Persians, and us).
The Persians declared war on the Iroquois. We are sure that Babylon is next. We lost our supplies of saltpeter and rubber.
Supplies of saltpeter and rubber are reestablished at the conclusion of an agreement with the Persians.

Science:
Developed Electronics on are own.
We were unable to acquire any advances from anyone else.

Military:
Disbanded all the Longbowman.
Upgraded all the foot units to Infantry.
Upgraded all horse units to Cavalry.
Vastly increased the number of Worker units from 7 to 25.
Built 3 ironclads and 1 destroyer, with the intention of building 4 more to patrol the coastline and explore unknown regions.
Built a small number of Infantry and Artillery, preferring to wait until the discovery or acquisition of Motorized Transportation (or whatever) to build tanks, instead of building more Cavalry.

Domestic:
Samaria founded.
Railroad connecting all cities except Buffalo and Canterbury completed.
All cities that do not have all of their tiles completely developed have 1 worker assigned to tile development.
All excess workers are assigned to completely develop all of the tiles in a selected city unless there is pollution to be cleared. Presently all excess workers are assigned to Ur and Canterbury; Babylon, Buffalo and Uruk have been completely developed.

Story:
Dhul Khidr had just been elected President, for life. He didn't feel elated at all. After a meeting with his advisors later on, he felt even worse. Babylonia lacked in the vital resources saltpeter and rubber. Her military was hopelessly antique. Her navy, ha! One measley galleon in an age when the technology, not the resources, allowed battleships to be fielded. Dhul Khidr felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. He wanted to mass an army and march against the hated Persians to recapture a dignity long since cowed.

Instead he would be another caretaker, in a long line of caretakers. Always careful to placate the Persians and others. Maybe, perhaps someday...

DhulKhidr · May 11, 2002, 16:56

Babylon finished the Intelligence Agency.
Ur started building Battlefield Medicine.

civman2000 · May 11, 2002, 22:40

great! Does the fact that no one will give us anything mean that we've caught up or they're afraid to let us catch up any further?

civman2000 · May 11, 2002, 22:41

Somehow the new sav file is smaller than the last one! (226K before, now 223K)

DhulKhidr · May 12, 2002, 09:53

Umm, I'm very efficient. I mean I really tidied up those jungles around Babylon and Ur. Actually, I don't know. On my computer my download is 224 KB and the previous one is 228 KB.

trickey · May 14, 2002, 15:36

is this game dead?

DhulKhidr · May 14, 2002, 16:12

Ya, what's the deal Jonny? Are you busy with finals?

DhulKhidr · May 15, 2002, 09:45

civman2000 · May 15, 2002, 11:36

DhulKhidr · May 15, 2002, 17:27

civman2000 · May 15, 2002, 17:51

DhulKhidr · May 15, 2002, 18:14

Well, ya' but he hasn't responded in awhile. Why don't we wait until tomorrow around this time? If rotten or jonny fail to post by that time then you, civman2000, take your turn. Let me know if that does, or doesn't sound good.

civman2000 · May 15, 2002, 18:34

rotten has gotten caught up in the nes. He's been on, i'll pm him.

Rotten999 · May 15, 2002, 19:21

Sorry guys, I got buried in all the NES! Next time neutral country that does nothing!

I'll have the turns by this evening.
