We can only build 4 wonders each so I'll have to carefully think about what other 3 wonders to shoot for.

(Shame there is no wonder that stops corruption

)

Yeah, I started in Australia in HOTW2 and wanted the Lighthouse, but drake just beat me to it. I had to use the Antarctic to get around and was lucky to colonise the northern part of South Am. drake already had the south and East.

At this stage:
Adriatics = Capo
Zulus = drake
Israel = Dimbleby
Mali = Chris (GNGSpam)
Chinese = Sun Tzu
Aussies = deity the great

Mongols = war4ever NOT

Let me know if this thread-jacking is interesting or annoying....

VetLegion · September 27, 2003, 06:04

It is interesting. I would have many many more cities if it wasnt for an early war with the Frigians (germanos). I have written the story and I'll put it up as soon as I upload the images, some time today.

OzzyKP · September 27, 2003, 11:14

Amazing how well the Chinese came back after being surrounded and left AI for so long. To Prom's credit.

Rasputin · September 27, 2003, 11:26

interesting to compare those details Deity . it is incredible the comeback that prom did with the chinese as by end game he was certainly one of the largest civs. must have been his peaceful nature. i know the poor israelis were bottled up and couldnt expand any further due to mali to West, Europeans to north and mongols to west. Which is why when i took over i did everything i could to start war !!!! LOL

OzzyKP · September 27, 2003, 11:33

Yea, I was in the same situation as the Arabs in HOTW3, but no one understood or accepted my being warlike and the game collapsed (among other reasons). Tough to be boxed in.

Rasputin · September 28, 2003, 10:05

also i msut say it took all my powers off propaganda to keep coming up with reasons to stay in diplo mode but have war....

even down to renaming my empire so the acronym spelt WAAR that was so cool .....

It seems the movement rate of the triremes was not changed?
What to do about the other movement rates? I think all ships will have to get some increase (I would like to see the day when a trireme outruns a Frigate

)

I was wondering how anyone could have 20 cities and only 30 units.
But then it all became clear to me.
You were playing king, not deity, deity!

You can't compare the two

deity · September 30, 2003, 07:48

Ahh right. What a difference that makes!
I prefer deity level of course

deity · September 30, 2003, 08:07

OH, and just one other thing....... the first save for HOTW2 is dated 16th Feb 2001 and the final save is dated 10th Nov 2001.

At least it was within a year

atawa · September 30, 2003, 10:09

I will most likely be around tonight. But there might be a chance I will be called away during the game.

germanos · September 30, 2003, 10:20

Just unplug the phone

I hope it ain't something serious

Ljube · September 30, 2003, 11:54

Well done Germanos! Congratulations to newly promoted prince!!!

I hadn't even noticed that myself

Looks pretty

though

winzity · September 30, 2003, 15:18

Somebody knows?

winzity · September 30, 2003, 15:32

See here...

VetLegion · September 30, 2003, 17:27

Yeah, some strings have been messed up for me too. In F3 menu for example, the thing in parentheses is hieroglyphes.

We have to be very careful with editing the rules.txt. Perhaps some editors (Word?) add some extra characters that screw it up or something.

germanos · September 30, 2003, 18:21

The Frysk and Frylsân are just fine

germanos · September 30, 2003, 18:30

Well, you learn something new everyday.

Today I found out that my allies know all the techs I posses! Duh! I was allready wondering why people were so keen on signing alliances upon meeting them, but now I know

We had a killer session tonight, where apparently something was rotten in the rules file. In the end, since the names of the players were screwed from session one, I ended up negotiating with the Chinese, who I though to be winzity (lightblue), but it was in fact atawa, the Maori

Trying to keep the pace in the game, I did wonder why he needed literacy, that I thought I had gotten from him (well, I mean winzity here), but I thought: well what the heck, I want his tech anyway

germanos · October 1, 2003, 06:20

I can't find anything wrong with my rules.txt, so I post it here again, with a few modifications:
All ships now have movement +2
Ruler name of the Ethiopians: Haile Selassie
Ruler name of the Chinese: winzity
Ruler name of the Maori: atawa
Ruler name of the Slaven: Slaven

Please check if you find anything weird when using this rules.txt. At least I don't get all the weird caracters in the F3 screen anymore. When I load one of our saves with this, all seems OK (exept for the leaders names, but I guess they are 'hard coded', and should be altered manually when we start the next session.

germanos · October 8, 2003, 09:22

Interesting strategy by the Slavs!
