1) What Civ2 version?
2) Do we HAVE to write about our reign?

You probably don't have to write about your reign. But that's half the fun. And consider this... if you don't, someone else might.

Hodad's first Body: this game is v2.42 .........
and kcbob is right you don't have to, but ...

More seriously read the unfolding story on the succession site for the first game - it makes a damn fine read

Do I have to mail it to MWHC or will SG do that?

Ha! One less post I have until prince.

Scouse Gits · October 19, 2000, 20:25

MWHC has dropped out - I have passed the save to Taurus - good luck soon to be King Taurus

Hey SD - only 75 posts to go ... a true successor to the Thrice Godly (or is Four Times Godly now?

) Mao would have these racked up by lunch-time. But not on the Strategy and General Community threads.
You might ponder exactly why your guide and mentor it Thrice or is it Four Times Godly ...

Now - the above is a perfect example of a spam posting that even supports the Apolyton Ideals - sorry Ming

edit for typo(s) - oh damn, should have posted again to point out the error!

By the way, SG, that is the best start I have ever got. (except in my current game where I started the game by popping a hut for 50 gold, and then building a four special eleven river capital all in just 4000 BC.

) BTW, this wasn't a scenario or an occ save, I just got it by luck. I had five cities (non ics) in 3000 and 12 in 2000

Edit: Both BC, BTW

I KNOW it's v. 2.42, i CAN read, but translated to plain english, is it the original CIV version?

Daddy-O · October 20, 2000, 16:23

Hey! SG or DaveV.
I can't say that I've ever played at Diety level like many of you, but if there is still room I'd love to get in on this.

I followed the first succession game and it looked fun. I have the 2.42 patch and am ready to go.

Scouse Gits · October 20, 2000, 16:56

Sorry HsFB - v2.42 is the original civ 2 with the latest patch - that's civ2orig.exe in your Fantastic Worlds folder

Hey, I have done my turns.

I have built 3 new cities, invented the map-making (after the monarchy research was finished) so we can expand to other islands, I revolted and moved to monarchy.

Can someone please tell me the e-mail adress of the fellow that I need to send it to.

I'm in!
Thanks. This should be fun.

October 21, 2000, 22:30

can I have the save file? How are we doing? Sounds like taurus had a good reign. We needed a new land mass.
63 to go!!!

Scouse Gits · October 22, 2000, 11:13

Everyone : my ISP is upgrading its server and mail to git1@scousers.net is not getting through - please use scouse-git@thefreeinternet.co.uk

All - sorry for the delay; I had to stop at 675 BC and brought the save to finish before work today, only to discover that my 2.42 install crashes on startup. The CD is at home, so I won't be able to finish my reign until tonight or tomorrow. Current stats: 15 cities; exploration and settling of new landmasses underway. More details to follow.

DaveV · October 24, 2000, 07:44

Finished. Game sent to SG1 and Hodad1.

A brief synopsis of the reign of King Dave (known affectionately to his people as “the Sleazy”):

Upon his succession to power in 1000 BC, King Dave declared a civilization-wide goal of Growth. In pursuit of this end, King Dave made many changes: production orders were changed, fishermen were put to work as foresters, and irrigation projects were abandoned. There was much consternation across the kingdom, and people dared to grumble against the King. Then, in the year 825 BC, King Dave won over the doubters by personally directing the defeat of a barbarian invasion. The grateful citizens of Caralis erected a monument memorializing the brave settler and warrior who gave their all in defense of the city. King Dave quickly named as Praetorian guard the mighty warriors who had defeated two barbarian archers.

Exploration of new lands began. Exploring horsemen discovered barbarians hiding in a ruined village, but dispatched them. Later, the secrets of Horseback Riding and Literacy were found in other villages. As this exploration went on, settlers were busy building roads and new cities on the home continent. King Dave knew that his troops could not keep the people from revolting forever, so he devoted much of the kingdom’s resources to a great project to ensure the populace’s happiness. On the last year of his reign, the Hanging Gardens were completed in Carthage, ensuring happiness for many years to come.

Edit: at the end of his reign, King Dave had a vision showing the relative strength of all the civilizations of the world. King Dave was well pleased by what he saw in that vision.

I would like to join the list, if possible!

My e-mail address is jeffo@mninter.net

Thanks.

Scouse Gits · October 25, 2000, 07:09

Welcome aboard, Saganaga Canoer - I haven't seen the handle before, but you're not a newbie - so you must be MP or OT, which??

all: will try and sort out the web-site tonight (assuming the bl**dy server is up!) mail seems to be a little more reliable - I would still recommend using the 'thefreeinternet' one given above...

I just got the save.

Will finish my reign in maybe two days, i have lots of work to do for school.

Saganaga Canoer · October 26, 2000, 00:07

You're right, Scouse Gits, I'm not a newcomer. I haven't been very active lately, but I used to be very active in the Off Topic forums, and before that in the Civ2 Strategy and Civ2 Multiplayer forums.

My "claim to fame" was my review for Apolyton of Multiplayer Gold when it came out almost two years ago (see http://apolyton.net/civ2/features/mge_review.shtml )

johnmcd · October 30, 2000, 10:27

Hurry up! I should have taken my shot when I had the chance but I thought three days was rude.

October 30, 2000, 10:30

Can I knit with you? If so, send me all instructions and *.sav to my e-mail account

<---- there!

Thanks a mil'

N35t0r · October 30, 2000, 10:42

OH ****!

SORRY!

FORGOT THE FILE AT HOME.

johnmcd · October 30, 2000, 15:23

I think 36 hours should be the target time for turning around a save though I don't think it should be forfeit for failing. A little while longer should probably be afforded the person before that sanction is invoked, though I would suggest five days is well past that line. Two forfeits and your out anyone?

Daddy-O · October 30, 2000, 17:36

I don't want to be too hard on anyone but really 5 days. I've got kids, work, and a life out side of civ2 and i think i could turn this around quicker.

Now watch me not be able to get my turns done on time.

Saganaga Canoer · October 31, 2000, 01:43

At this rate, we'll finish the game sometime in 2015, if we're lucky.

Can we agree on some ground rules for the maximum length of time for someone to finish their turn? Perhaps 36 hours? That seems pretty reasonable; after all, we're only talking about 10, 15, or 20 turns, right?

HsFB, you weren't clear: have you finished your turn yet? If not, I think you should pass this round and hand over the reins to the next person.

N35t0r · October 31, 2000, 14:43

Does it need to be played with original rules?

I just realizes i had modified a few of the cosmic principles. And i don't have the CD.

you better pass the save to the next one while i try and fix that.

Saganaga Canoer · November 1, 2000, 17:23

I've sent an e-mail to Maud'dib, the next person on the list, to pick up the saved game from http://www.stusdomain.org.uk/Success...rcle/index.htm and proceed.

November 1, 2000, 19:08

I can't get it from the link posted.
Someone is going to have to send the save file to me via e-mail.
Please, no zips or hypertext, just attach the file to your e-mail as it appears in your Civ2 Save directory.

Thank you for your patience.
