What happended to all the caravans I was making then? I suppose they all became still more warriors or something then...

[Scouse Gits]

Sorry John, we seem to have our wires crossed here - the game we took over from skrobism had not yet got Trade! hence no Caravans - either you are thinking of a different game or we have played the wrong save ...

Umm, I suppose I must have been playing a different game...

[Daddy-O]

The big question is, "what happened to the Skrobism Lighthouse?" Did it get built with the change of turns in the year 500ad?

If not. Oh well. That is the way of Succession games.

Did we ever get improvements to that throne room?

What is 'Xinning'?

Good job.

[Scouse Gits]

Xinning is the Size 5 Strategy devised by Xin Yu.

Thanks I'll give that a read.

[Scouse Gits]

and yes the Great Light of Skrobos was indeed built on schedule.

There was much rejoicing throughout the land as the common folk feasted on squab.

[Daddy-O]

Below is a schedule from Nov 1.

quote: 4000BC-3050BC (20 turns) Scouse Gits (Player 1) 3000BC-2050BC (20 turns) SilverDragon (Player 2) 2000BC-1050BC (20 turns) Taurus (Player 3) 1000BC-525BC (20 turns) DaveV (Player 4) 500BC-25BC (20 turns) Muad'Dib (Player 5) AD1-AD280 (15 turns) johnmcd (Player 6) AD300-AD580 (15 turns) skrobism (Player 7) AD600-AD880 (15 turns) Saganaga Canoer (Player 8) AD900-AD1180 (15 turns) Dr_Strangelove (Player 9) AD1200-AD1480 (15 turns) HsFB (Player 10) AD1500-AD1600 (10 turns) Player 1 AD1600-AD1700 (10 turns) Player 2 AD1700-AD1758 (10 turns) Player 3 AD1760-AD1778 (10 turns) Player 4 AD1780-AD1798 (10 turns) Player 5 AD1800-AD1818 (10 turns) Player 6 AD1820-AD1838 (10 turns) Player 7 AD1840-AD1854 (10 turns) Player 8 AD1855-AD1864 (10 turns) Player 9 Ten turn/ten year intervals continue until the end of the game.

I just thought this should be moved to the new AKC thread. Things to consider: Sag Canoer quit and is out of the rotation; Dr_S and HsFB were having problems with game turn around and have been skipped over.
Last I heard the Scouse Gits passed a save to SilverDragon.

That's more like it.

Has anyone seen Private Taurus?

[Daddy-O]

Paging a Mr Dragon. Paging SilverDragon. You have a call on the blue phone. Paging SilverDragon.

The Scouse Gits passed the save to SD on December 3. So much for my wild plan to get two rounds in by Tuesday.

Taurus and DaveV are you ready and willing if SD does not respond?

I have to commend the Gits. They were obviously too busy for a full turn. They took a mini-turn and passed the game on. Some people just sit on the game for days - weeks.

When MWHC started us on this idea, based on what he saw done with SimCity, maybe it was just a cruel trick. Notice how he never signed up to play? He didn't warn us of these delays. I have a reign of terror to bring to the AKC's world. :P And I can't be delayed by real world silliness. There are armies to be built; nations to be razed; serious sleazing to be done. To arms! To Arms!

Two legs?

I don't know what I am rambling about. Work is REAL slow today.

------------------
'I want to be hand counted and checked for dimples.'

[DaveV]

(snaps a crisp salute) Ready, sir!!!

[Daddy-O]

*Bump*

Scouse Gits,
Should this game be passed to DaveV?

[Daddy-O]

I think the AKC has died

------------------
'I want to be hand counted and checked for dimples.'

[johnmcd]

I don't see why it should, you, the gits and I at least are still interested, I imagine Dave V is too.

[Daddy-O]

I know. I am sorry. It was a long day at work and frustrated. I guess I was just taking it out on the AKC. Sorry My bad.

[Farmboy]

I'd like to be in a succession game, but now I suffer from a lack of Multiplayer gold. I'm using 2.42 or whatever the latest is. So would I be able to play on this using my version of Civ II?

Thanks.

------------------
A genunine Matt Gaston post.

[johnmcd]

Yes you can, and I don't see why you shouldn't play next if everyone else is happy with that.

[Farmboy]

Okay, in that case how would I get the file?

[Scouse Gits]

Sorry - haven't been following this carefully enough - do I understand that SilverDragon has vanished and that I have the latest save game - thus it's all my fault -- if I've got this right I shall send a copy to Farmboy when I get home.

Farmboy - is the e-mail in your profile good for receiving attachments??

Sorry about any delay guys,

Welcome to the game Farmboy!

We also have a No ICS 2.42 game going. You can probably ask to sign up there too.

[Farmboy]

sure, just as long as they're under about ~300mb.

[Scouse Gits]

Sent last night, but had bounced this morning - will try zipping it up for you - we shall succeed (or is that suck seed? )

[Farmboy]

Okay, umm, are there any current goals for the empire, and how many turns or years should I play? And yes, I've gotten the file now. Thanks SG1

[Daddy-O]

Farmboy,
If I am reading the order of turns (see above) correctly, you are replacing SilverDragon in the order. This is everyone's second go at the game. So, you have 10 turns this time.

As for goals you could try reading the Histories at Scouse Gits Site. Or look throgh the thread for any hints at a goal. The Gits played last, they might know what their goals were. But that is the interesting part of the Succession. I might tell you exactally what my goals for the AKC are and you can ignore those. At the end of your turn, you surrender power to the next leader.

Good luck.
