DEITIANS coming 2nd last but the pg is meaningless

deity · April 13, 2002, 02:00

The Cathaginian offshoot of the DEITIAN stock found things a little tricky on this planet as you can see.

But deity assures all civilisations that Captain deitigodfather will be there when the final death blow is dealt....

Contact was made with that other false God's Romans who did sign a peace Treaty but were reluctant to trade maps of terrain.

This planet augurs well for 7 strong civs to grow and on a normal sized planet much jostling for space will occur in future epochs.

Life has been good to those who inhabit the tiny plot of land known as the Holy Empire. The growth and sol of the tiny nation has seen curves of unimaginable proportion. Contact has recently taken place, but war is not yet desired. Military defense of the empire is stacked at the mainland borders, impervious to attack from even the most desperate warmonger. The Empire has chosen not to take its' only wonder yet, as a greater project awaits. With many mistakes of the lazy porn surfing Emperor due for reform. and an upcoming wltkd burst, glory is assured for the people for countless years to come. Blablabla, blablabla.

In the year 4000 bc the twins, Domulus and Deitus, were born. Thus began civilization. Deitus immediately founded a city, proclained himself Emperor Deitus Dudius, and told his brother to go out and roam. In honor of his brother he named his city Roam, but since they hadn't yet learned literacy or writing the scribe incorrectly recorded it as Rome.

Then a voice came to Deitus in 3950bc. It said "You must slay your brother so that Rome will have only 1 emperor" and thus Deitus Dudius slayed his only brother and Rome was secure.

As time passed Deitus felt guilty about the horrible death of his only brother. Thus, he immediatly called for a state funeral and learned the art of Ceremonial Burial.

After that, the Romans pursued a strategy of rapid growth, in both settlements and defensive units. Resources were adequate and an intersection of rivers helped early expansion.

In 1650bc, Deitus realized that his throne was given to him forever, by God, and thus he was crowned King Deitus Dudius.

Around the same period several encounters with strange humans occured. Persians, Carthegenians and Spansih felt inclined to meet the Romans. All cultures were in awe of the power and multitude of the Roman civilzation and immediately requested peace. Deitus Dudius granted peace to all, but trusted noone.

One of these strange cultures claimed to be God. At first Deitus was concerned, but when this heretic asked to trade maps it was obvious that he was a mere mortal, (a true Deity would already have that knowledge) and an inferior one at that. His request was denied.

One group of nomads arrived by ship. They were the Spanish. After suing for peace, this tribe kept landing warrior units in the heartland of the Roman Monarchy. After several attempts to contact the Spanish and ask them to remove their uninvited savages, Deitus was forced to give the order to kill them. A noble troop of horsemen attacked and killed the savages, while a group of trienes chased thier lone triene away.

Currently it is rumored that the Roman Monarchy not only has the most cities (12) but double the military units of its next closest rival. There is, however, a dubious graphical representaion of the history of civlization (no doubt created by the as to yet undiscovered Japanese) showing the Romans in 3rd or 4th.

The Great Spirit having descended to the waters sent a beaver to dive below and bring back soil. The Great Spirit then spread the soil out on the waters and expanded it to create land. The Great Spirit was not yet satisfied, He needed creatures to occupy the land, to acknowledge the Great Spirit, and flourish in their new home. Some of these creatures were named "Sioux" by the Great Spirit. He was so happy with these creatures, the Great Spirit chose to descend to the land again and assume their form and lead and teach them the ways of the sky beings.

So it was in the far away days, and so it is now. The Great Spirit ****antanka leads the Sioux and under His leadership, the Sioux
have built a beautiful society free from the desire to control and destroy the other creatures.

The Sioux seem to be alone in this world, but ****antanka tells us they share the world with others of their kind. We search this land hoping to find these beings, but have failed to this point. Some of our explorers have reported finding the remains of a Great Celestial Serpent in the form of a mountain ridge winding along a distant valley. ****antanka told the Sioux He killed this Serpent in battle to form the Heaven above us. ****antanka is the Great Spirit!!!

Oh crap, w-a-n-k is a nono? W-a-n-k-a-n-t-a-n-k-a has change his name to Berzerker for the sake of political correctness

The viking government already has great propagada material... "Every wonder why the King of the wan-kers takes so long?"

Deity Dude · April 17, 2002, 19:49

I thought I was the one who took too long

Deity Dude · April 17, 2002, 19:52

I posted this before and somehow it got confused with everyone in different timezones - but I can't commit on starting these games until 8:30pm est at the earliest. I work until 8pm est and have a 20-25 min ride home if there is no unusual traffice. That's why I originally posted 9pm est. But I will try my hardest to make it 8:30pm est - and I'll try and move quicker.

Just try it mate!

I graduated from the Makeo Tzu Academy.

You will not even take one city you warmongering ratbag

deity · April 20, 2002, 04:00

deitigodfather's tiny civ is commanding considerable respect on this over-crowded planet...

As you can see the mighty Vikings' agenda is to kill all DEITIANS and the running dogs of the Vikings are following orders.

The world must stop its petty squabbles and look at the big picture here.

AS the friendly Sioux and Persians know, the DEITIANS are a peaceful trading nation but the Vikings have filled some minds with fear that we might conquer all. These are false rumours and clearly laughable when you look at the world situation....

deity · April 20, 2002, 04:04

... and we do not even have a Top 5 city, yet the city names of the Vikings make it clear what their intentions are; and also it is clear that THEY CAN'T bloody well spell!!!

It's deity!!!

Dear friends,
The following map is a proposal to settle the borders beween our great nations. We have heard of far away border disputes and even war so we are keen to maintain peace and ensure that no misunderstandings arise...

What say you?

deity · April 20, 2002, 04:34

ooops!! We do have a Top 5

Must be tha AI movement when you open the save...

markusf · April 20, 2002, 04:41

It is well known that in the dietyland, otherwise known as the land of the fat people, that there is much wealth, and many large cities ready for plunder.

Much has been said about dietyland, but one thing stands out above all else and that is that the only thing more repulsive then there looks is their need to constantly talk. Our great leaders long ago realized these creatures have no place among the civilized world. With that thought in mind great science projects have been under taken to develop military might strong enough to drive them out. Unfortunately further details can not be made availible as they are still classified.

The Viking High Command applauds General Zylka and hopes that he will ride the world of these swamp dwellers once and for all.

deity · April 20, 2002, 04:58

LOL!

Very interesting scenario Markus.... especially considering you said you'd only made contact with Winzity I think?

General Zylka doesn't exist to you - go figure!

This amounts to out of game collusion but I'll still beat you!

You can't fool everyone...

Indeed, my land is rather cramped with swamps, jungle and forrests....

how did you know?

Also, Can everyone say who's made contact with Markus in-game?
I thought he said he'd only contacted Winzity...

I haven't made contact with him OR Zylka, yet they boast of plans to annhilate me. he he

Please, I think we should develop strategy and role-playing along diplo lines BASED on the elements that unfold within the game.

IF players are just secretly blind-allying then it's really not in the spirit of a good game and it encourages the rest of us to do the same.

How good a game would it be if 6 players decided to take out Markus?

I'd be against that. We have 7 good players in this game - let's play it out...

---

And remember everyone it is diplo with special rules. If you plan an attack it should fit in with your story lines (eg related to border disputes etc).

If one or two civs get particularly aggressive I'd expect the others to look for a balance. Ie, if one civ starts to wipe out another it is in everyone elses interest to not see one civ become the size of two civs!

Free the plains, or free the forests doesn't sound the same does it?

Warmongering civs, mearly claim all the land as theirs, enough of a story line for you?

Down with diety Down with diety! Your have the biggest cities you need to die!

Berzerker · April 25, 2002, 17:33

I have to work tonight, can you'll find a sub? If it comes down to it, the ai can take my civ for a night.

germanos · April 25, 2002, 19:01

how do I get to be a sub? I am sure I'll do better than the AI.
Contact me within the hour.

Frank Johnson · April 25, 2002, 20:00

Where is everybody, isnt it getting close to game time?

Zylka · April 25, 2002, 22:05

My apologies to Berzerker only. With my convictions, I would have thought the same thing with any other player in the world.

Deity, you know what you did. You saw the sioux map without a tireme on it, and heard my cries that I moved around all radii. Even then, and before markus told us the information that you "never knew before", you told the new guy information that would have been tainted given the situation. Screw Zylka around with that in mind and hack it out when berz gets back, right?

I have deleted civ2 in anger, thanks to all who gave countless hours of enjoyment.

deity · April 25, 2002, 23:41

Berz said on April 21 to me on icq:

"... he telegraphed his attack at the end of the last session. Ships showed up off my capital as he begged for one more turn to settle a border dispute, I'm deadmeat"

and today before game start"
"I have to work tonite, can you find a sub and tell them about the need to rush build a trireme to attack Zylkas ships off my coast?"

So I found a sub, J23SE, and passed on this info.

You, Zylka, then carried on about not telling J23SE but I already had and I still think I should have.

Markus has explained how Berzerker may have seen your tri moving across.

Zylka has a very abusive and bad attitude. I can't see what I did wrong? You swore at me in King chat and icq and carried on like a two year old. You'll NEVER have the privelage of playing such a fine group of players ever again. You are a total loser and probably a real nasty person. I'm glad you quit.

deity · April 25, 2002, 23:43

J23SE is playing the Japs.

Berz should be back to play his Sioux and Dangime will let us know if he has a problem.
