Due to my moving flat this past weekend I'll be without domestic internet access till Wednesday. Could the save then be sent to john.mcdiarmid@rbs.co.uk

Thanks.

johnmcd · December 13, 2000, 12:21

Well, I got my home connection back and I've forwarded the save to the Gits.

Not much happened at first, I sent a spare sleeping Horsey exploring, he found a lost Legion a hundred years later (or thereabouts).

We are now, belatedly, researching Trade. Hopefully this will not be too late, though as we have still to find any other civs making full use of this tech will be tricky.

The Chinese have scored the Great Library, which is no real loss as far as I'm concerned, unless it allows them to spoil the potential for a SSC in Edinburgh.

There is much irrigation as our population is hardly there...

Scouse Gits · December 14, 2000, 07:34

Game received - will play on Friday (sorry can't get to it any earlier ....)
You're right we need some fairly desparate measures ...

I got the save. I will play tonight or tomorrow. Looks like a lot of changes since I last passed the game.

Any suggestions before I play?

Hueij · December 18, 2000, 16:40

Hehehe, Wallace and Gromit

Any suggestions before I play?

Three trade-routes before starting Cop's Obs

I think I've got it.

I'll get right on that.

The save and Hx are coming up momentarily...

Daddy-O · December 21, 2000, 16:16

I am passing the save onto Maud'Dib. Here is the History. What am I doing wrong? Just about every city is in Civil Disorder. I even have Mayors fleeing from cities on the same turn these are founded.
-------------------------
ad420 Norbert founded
ad440 Liam Fox - Civil Disorder

Rifkin caravan of dye sets out to Gromit Overlap
horseman dies to barb archer

ad460 Flower founded

Edinburgh - Civil Disorder

Liam Fox - Civil Disorder

ad480 Daggett founded - one overlap but 4 shields, 2 whales (1 shared)

Gromit Overlap, Edinburgh, Wallace, and Liam Fox in Civil Disorder

ad500 Sideshow Mel founded

ad520 Flower captured by barbs - 1 gold plundered

ad540 New Wales starts dip to get back Flower
research starts on banking
ad560 Sideshow Bob founded

Rifkin caravan trades dye with Gromit Overlap for 12 gold

Hueijville trireme sets out to the east
ad580 Horseman dies in attempted retake of Flower
ad600 Edward I gold caravan sets out towards Liam Fox
A settler has been road building towards Rifkin area, maybe he'll meet up with the Hueijville Trireme and go exploring

One more thing... When you play the game please change the name of Dagit to Daggett

Day 2

Daddy-O · December 27, 2000, 17:34

Hueij, I am sending the save to you.

"Bonjour, you cheese-eatin' surrender-monkeys."

Hueij · December 27, 2000, 19:39

Okay, let it come

I'll try to pass it on before the end of the Millennium

Hueij · December 28, 2000, 19:19

Skrobism, did you get my mail after the one you sent thru your wife's account? I don't have your save yet.

Hueij · December 28, 2000, 19:40

Skrobism, did you get my mail after the one you sent thru your wife's account? I don't have your save yet.

Hueij · December 29, 2000, 09:37

Just received the game from Skrobism. I'll try to pass it on to John later today or maybe tomorrow...

Happy New Year everyone.

Hueij · December 29, 2000, 12:32

Just sent the 800 AD save to John...

A short summary: oh boy, oh boy, oh boy... Civil disorder all over the place, there are too many small cities for a Monarchy. Defense is non-existant, warriors all over the place to keep order, if we are attacked we are toast. And we are at war with the Germans

Good news: a cease-fire with the Sioux

We are racing the Germans for Cop's Obs, hopefully we get lucky. Food caravans are being built or on their way and two caravans are on their way to Madrid. Maybe it will bring enough to rush the Obs because the coffers are empty

Daddy-O · December 29, 2000, 14:28

I am sorry about the delay with passing the save onto Hueij. I must be having problems with my ISP. Well, you get what you paid for - FREE.

Oh well it all seems to have worked out fine.

Happy New Year!

johnmcd · December 30, 2000, 09:20

Well, I'm not surprised we don't have a happy population when we have two temples between the lot. On the plus side I had not one riot and we now have the largest coffer in the game, to top that we can buy Cops should the need arise, but it will be finished in the next couple of turns anyway. We also have a caravan waiting to help build St Mike's when we discover Mono. We discovered Banking, as did the Sioux and Chinese almost simultaneously. We got maps from the Babylonians and Chinese. We also made an alliance with the Babylonians and the price of war with the Carthaginians, the weakest force in the game.
A diplomat is going to buy the barb town of Flower, though there is also a small army that might be able to take it.

Caravans of Dye, Wine and soon Copper are assembling in Wallace ready to go to China where such goods are in demand.

All in all, it looks a lot healthier than when I last played, Gits, over to you....

Scouse Gits · December 30, 2000, 20:21

Thanks John - game received - will get to it asap....
Sounds fun

Save passed on to Git 2.

Everything seems to looking up, and while we don’t live in the best of all possible worlds it is certainly closer…Another boat of exotica is on its way to China and Babylon with another in preparation. King Richard’s and Magellan’s were completed by the Germans and Carthaginians respectively and I believe that the Germans are going to beat us to Leo’s. Otherwise it was a normal domestically focussed turn. No advances made (though the Chinese gave us navigation for being constant friends).

Hueij · January 27, 2001, 08:13

Anything new yet?
