Hello everyone. GAAAHH! Yes!! I'm starting a hotseat game with (hopefully) updates daily.:) It is on tiny map. I am playing regicide.:)

On January 1rst, in 4000 BC, four nomadic civilizations have conquered their enemies and havve risen to become the greatest, most powerful civilization of all time. Which of the four will become most powerful? I, conquer_dude, the great storyteller of these civilizations will guide you through devastating battles, humungus and small wars, Victory and defeat. For all of these four civilizations want to be the strongest.

As I begine my storytelling of the nations, i must first introduce you to them. First is Arabia, in which boasts their capitol city of mecca, with nearby silks.

Carhtage boast its capitol city of Cartage for neaby wines AND gems.

Next is Dellhi and the Indians, which boasts insence, game and nearby cattle.

Next is Germany, Berlin which boasts a nearby goody hut which is abandoned.:p They also boast game and nearby wine.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Berlin.jpg

That will do it for today. Which of these four simple civilizations will come out ahead of each other?

Wait, so you're going to play as all the civs? Or is a sibling/family member going to play also?

Smart
Feb 12, 2006, 04:32 PM
Playing against yourself? :crazyeye:
I don't think that somebody will win or lose unless you will say "This civilization must die", and give a King unit for destroying :mischief:

I will look how it will be going.

Uh, hrm. How are you going to decide how to trade with yourself? Or whether or not to agree to alliances/RoP/MPPs?

It'll be interesting to see how that works out.

I've played hotseat with myself before, and when you trade, say it is 1rst civ's turn, he wants to trade with civ 2, he offers it, then when civ2's turn comes around, you can add to it or just accept it. i won't be making any retarted trades, though, it will be just like the AI, I will have to be everyone and hate everyone.

@Stock- I cant because my CCquest disc has screwed. I would if I could, man.

Stocktracker brings up a good point. Don't start a bunch of stories that sounds like a cool idea and end up not finishing it.

But I will follow this one :D

Alright here it is:

I will now lead you through events that will change the civilizations. First I must show you the explored territory of the civilzations. :)

Here is the territory of the Arabians:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/arabarea.jpg

Next is the territory of the Germans:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/german-area.jpg

Next is the territory of Carthage:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/carthagearea.jpg

And well I, the ancient storyteller seemed to have forgotten to take my camera when I was flying over Delhi in my helicopter, and well... didn't exactlly get a screen.:mischief:

Next, it looks like the Germans have found themselves a friendly hut!:)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/luckygermans.jpg

And same with the Arabians!:D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/luckyarabs.jpg

Looks like Ghandi is trapped. Maybe this one will be knocked out early.:mischief:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/lookslikewemighthavelostghandilol.jpg

Hmmm... We have a situation here...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/lollol.jpg

Well, that is it for my ancient scrolls of wisdom. Next time... Who knows what may happen as tensions rise between the four civilizations of the ancient world.

Will Ghandi survive the raiding surrounding barbarians? Will the the Germans and Arabians become mad of their close borders?

Find out next when I learn more of my ancient scrolls of wisdom...

I am doing this as I play along, I have not finished it yet.

How is it difficult, it's only four civs, I was thinking about starting a ten civ hotseat.:p The leaders should help you like Ghandi and blah blah blah.:)

Someone on the Civ 4 story forums tried a 18 civ hotseat, it didn't last long.

In this game, tension should rise quickly, the civs are very close together.

Well, the ancient storyteller got mad at his image hosting place because, um, they wouldn't let him overrite files so he wasted a couple of good minutes when he could be playing his electric guitar but, woah I'm in 2006 AD Back to 3700 BC.:mischief:

As we all know Ghandi was in a little bit of a um... trap. But those retarted barbarians halted the moment to seize the Incan civilization, and they fortified!? Anyway back to the story.

Ahem!!!

INDIA

Ghandi saw that these barbarians were rather, uh... retarted. So ghandi goes oh wtf I dont know what to do.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/strange.jpg

So he came with the conclusion.:D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/closecall.jpg

So all that said.

CARTHAGE, GERMANY, AND ARABIA

Looks they have c-l-o-s-e borders.

Looks like we have another situation here. I didn't know they all spoke the same languages!? :cool:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The ancient storyteller managed to get 3 of the civilization's explored territory. He could not get the Germans because 1- his computer went screwy and 2- the Germans had anti-aircraft missles everywhere so his helicopter couldn't really get there. :mischief:

So here is what he got. The Arabians:

The Indians:

Feb 19, 2006, 04:03 PM
UPDATE!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------
Again, the ancient storyteller has returned with more news on the four civilzations. Aparently, the first civilizations to have their leaders meet face to face were the Germans and Arabs, when the Germans offered pottery, and here is what the Arabians gave the Germans, a ripoff.:eek:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/germans-trade.jpg

I believe that Bismark was dumb enough to accept the deal!

I have realized that something is going on between the three packed up civs here... There is a good spot that any civilization would want to put their next city, by cattle. Unfortunantly I do not believe that these folk's land was not as good as the Indian's lands. So that is why this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/goodspot.jpg

:is a good spot. (By the cattle on the coast) So I did some investigation to see who was on the move to get their settler out. Here we have the Chartagians, working on the first settler of the game. Assembling a group of settlers is not easy for a small city like that, so it will take 10 turns...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/firstsettler.jpg

So, the Chartagians are hoping for the nice city spot, and the other two civilizations, Germans and Arabians are currently finishing projects THEN to work on settlers. Actually Arabians have the advantage because they are closer. Even if Chartage gets the settler out first, Arabs could beat them there to the spot. Germans have the biggest disadvantage because they are farther behind and have not started a settler.

Oh, gosh! Have I forgotten the superpower of the four civilzations!? The unknown civilzation of the other three? The Indians!? Look at this.:eek:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/ClearlyBest.jpg

They have the best land over the four civilizations. the other three know they are there somewhere, when suddenly, a German warrior sees an Indian warrior south of the Arabs. Unfortunantly it was too late (I was on the Indians when I saw him) and the trun ended. :( But I got a snap of the historic German warrior:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Wowenough.jpg

Well that's about all for now. Enjoy!:)

Feb 25, 2006, 04:12 PM
Alright, sorry late update. I will only be able to post updates on weekends probably because of homework.:(

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ancient storyteller was flying over Germany when their AA's were innactive. He got a shot of why the Germans probably won't go for that spot. There is some good land west of Berlin. Here is what it is:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Germany-NiceSpot.jpg

I also got into a conversation with Bismark! I got to safely enter Berlin!

Bismark: Come, sit. Would you like a beer?

Me: What beers do you have?

Bismark: Hmm... Corona, Miller, Budweiser, Guiness, Bud Light...

Me: Guiness please. What do you think about Arabia?

Bismark: *Drinks Carona in thought* I am kind of annoyed with them. They are close to our territory, *hick* and they are close to *hick* silks that are down sou- *hick* th.

Me: What do you think about Berlin?

Bismark: *hick* Runnin' low on miller. *hick* *Picks up miller and gulps it down*

Me: Well, I'm gonna take a picture of Berlin with my camera.

Bismark: *hick* What's a *hick* camera?

Me: Nevermind.

Berlin:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Berlinagain.jpg

After a strange visit in Berlin I leave to go off to Arabia. They made the first archer of the game... Looks like it's gonna pop that tribe down there.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/GoodyHutPop.jpg

I got into a conversation with Bakr:

Me: What do you think about Arabia?

Bakr: I like

Me: Do you like the production rate?

Bakr: I like

Me: Do you like the Germans?

Bakr: I like

Me: Do you speak my language!?

Bakr: I like

After that visit, I got a snap of Mecca:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/MeccaAgain.jpg

Next I went to Carthage and I had a strange conversation with Hannibal.

Me: Hello.

Hannibal: Die you Romans What? Hello? Uh... Hi.

Me: What do you think about Arabia

Hannibal: Hmph... *Thinks* Suckers.

Me: I see. What do you think about Carthage?

Hannibal: :woohoo:

Me: I see.

So after that talk, I got a snap of Chartage.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/CarthageAgain.jpg

Next I fly to India.

I seem to have suprised Ghandi when I walked in and he was meditating...

Me: *opens door* Hello Ghandi.

Ghandi: *Is floating in meditation and falls* Hm? WTF?

Me: Um... Ghandi?

Ghandi: WTF is going on here? Leave, stupid!

So I left. But I managed to get a shot of... *gasp*

And so, I the ancient storyteller return with a late update becasue of that crappy Arabian chopper I have broke down. Ahurm... Yes. Indeed I will continue.

When I was flying over vacant land I saw this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/germansandindiansmeet.jpg

: I was expecting to see this soon. I was not surprised. But what did surprise me was that all of these civilzations are on the same continent. :hmm:

And so, as I heard Arabian citizens when I was walking around Mecca, they were cursing the Carthage people, especially due to the "Cannibal" in their border. So I wasn't surprised to see something like this. The Arabian archers are puzzled in what they should do. Bakr would definantly be mad if they attacked "Cannibal" and died, but kings cannot capture cities, so he wasn't as worried.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/WhatwillArabiaDo.jpg

And so Arabian archers amazingly called off the attack.

The Carthagian citizens hear about this and build up for a war. Warrriors are stopping their scouting and returning to Carthage for the war. Though, Carthage still wants some citizens to settle. Especially if Carthage is captured in the war and they have to head out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Carthagewarbuildup.jpg

Arabians do the same, except they no longer worry about settlers. They want offensive power over the Arabians.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/warbuildup.jpg

Then, Carthagian warriors get sooooo over excited, they dare surprise attack Bakr!?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Thefightbeginsfirstbattle.jpg

And so they do!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/andsotheymeanit.jpg

This is war!!!! I could hear the Carthage warriors shout that from in my chopper! Luckily I got the whole see of the battle, and...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/andsocharthagefails.jpg

They suck. 30 warrriors against one dude. wOw that's lame. Carthagians lose the first heated battle of the now-known-as Chartage-Arabian war of 3150 BC.

Find out what happens next in the next thrilling chapter of Conquer Dude's HOTSEAT GAME!

Corona, Miller, Budweiser, Guiness, Bud Light

lol, most Germans would be disgusted at crappy American beer. The fact that Budweiser bought the rights to sell its beer at the World Cup in Germany this year makes me laugh.

Also it seem that you edited it out, but the thing about terrorists is pretty rascist IMO because you are stereotyping a group of people based off of a couple individuals. Ditto for calling Germans Nazis. Not trying to flame or anything just putting out my two cents.

Interesting thing you got going here. Every now and again I play with two civs or so but I usually get caught trying to pick which one to kill off and that just doesn't work haha.

Quick chapter.

I, the ancient storytller got some more info.

Looks like India makes the first settler of the game.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Indiafirstsettler.jpg

So India decides to make a barracks for stronger units.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Indiaswitchproduction.jpg

Looks like India has met two of the three "northerners"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Indiahasmettwo.jpg

Incense for India!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/IncenseforIndia.jpg

The second battle of the Chartagian-Arabian war rages!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Archersattack.jpg

And the result is... Not so good for the Arabians. Boy will Bakr get mad!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Andtheresult.jpg

So, back to India, they decide their amount of gold is good enough to up reaserch to 100%

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Indiaupsresearch.jpg

There is an area that these civs will be fighting for. They will all want the silks.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/Allwillwantthesilks.jpg

Looks like Arabia gets a surprising message, but they agree.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/surprisingmessage.jpg

In the meantime, Hannibal heals, hoping to start better relations with Arabia.

The last turn of my first story (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=152838&page=13) was a one-turn war, declared at the beginning, got a peace treaty before the turn ended. Of course, I can almost never pull that off unless I'm actually trying to do that... and it's usually not worth the effort.

I think you just have to deal out enough damage to the AI in one turn to make them beg for peace. In other wars I've had, the AI would refuse to see me even after about 20-30 turns, simply because I didn't kill enough of their units.

I, the ancient storyteller has returned with (great) news! A world war is forming up as tensions arise from the Germans, Arabians, and Indians. The Carthagans, former Arabian enemies ahve been stirring up with Arabia and its ally, the Germans. But can the allies remain "allys" much longer?

First, this is interesting. An Indian warrior comes across the first camp of barbarians. Must still be remaining from the nomads that did not die in 4001BC!

Hanniabal; sees his chance for gold... and seizes it!

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/8241/142tl.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

At that next turn, Germany launches a surprise attack on India, and loses an archer to a pathetic warrior, though the archer was crossing a river into a mountain...

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/66/151ig.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Here, the second great battle of the war takes place! This time German archers attack an Indian warrior on a BG!

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3185/167hq.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

And the result is clear:

Arabians decided to pitch in.

But, they failed to that invincable warrior.

:wow:

The Germans see their chance, and the Indians miss it. (I didn't even now that the warrior was there, it was a surprise attack, I guess.:lol:

I, the ancient storyteller bring more dreadful news from the World War 1. Do not think it is just the lost of 200 archers, but the loss of 200,000 people. Yes, 200,000 all because the death of one.

WARNING: DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT THE LAST SCREEN UNTIL YOU GET THERE!!

The raid on Delhi has begun! :wow:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/23.jpg

Sucess! And the citizens of Bombay are all like WTF!?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/24.jpg

Looks like a Chartagian settler is having some issues here!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/25.jpg

Arabians decided to counter-attack the Carthagians. The Arabians and Carthagians were former enemies and this restarts the war. Making WW1 larger than expected!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/26.jpg

Danged warrior kicked the living crap out of the archer!

Looks like Berlin is anguarded!? Huh?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/27.jpg

The raid begins!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/28.jpg

And ends with the warrior getting the crap kicked out of him!

The capture!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/29.jpg

And, and, and, GOOD LORD!!! WTF is this warrior doing! :dubious:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/30.jpg

GOOD LORD!!!The warriors attacked the great Ghandi and from around the world, the very moment the ax went through Ghandi's head the whole Indian civilization exploded into fumes and now all of them are dead. Great job, Ghandi.

*sniff* *walks away*

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/31.jpg

And the citizens were so happy... Well, that about sums it up for the Indians as a strange Indian resister and some family and other resisters stood on top of a cliff looking at the German soldiers from afar. Blew their horn, and ran into the forest never to be seen again.

Let us all give Ghandi a hearty salute. :salute:

Well, I the ancient stryteller return once again today with news. News that Ghandi's body has been found. And the name of the man thet killed Ghandi is, well, what I just said.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/32.jpg

He recieved a high honor! But besides that, Carthage is finally at war with everyone since the old stats were to be Chartage and India vs Germany and Arabia. 2 allienced. Chartage now stands on one leg, after losing their strong ally.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/33.jpg

Now, will ya' look at this!! German archers are aproaching Utica and attacking!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/34.jpg

They were brave archers, and did not hesitiate one bit, but Utica held, with the warrior remaining with 1 hp, becoming a veteran.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/35.jpg

Of course, that was from the German's view. But, that vet warrior eventually had to run up to Chartage to save it from Barbarian attacks. Funny enough, when Carthage was about to be ransacked, the culture expanded, destroying the barbarians! :lol:

Well, here you see Carthage offering Arabia peace, which is later accepted, as the world war comes to an end.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/36.jpg


And boy do the Germans have a surprise!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/37.jpg

And then Leipzig isnt that great anymore either...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/38.jpg

Then Carthagfe gets its iron by settling the town of theveste!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/39.jpg

Soon after this, there was fighting on the German borders and peace was later declared between Carthage and Germany, freeing the world from war, but still. Germans and Arabians began to anger themselves as they declared peace with Carthage and now they are squabbling about who started.

And the score!

I, thew ancient storyteller return once again with thriving news. AS mentioned in the last episode, Germany and Arabia began to stir up rivalries, and as a German warrior enters the borders of Damascus:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/41.jpg

And, the battle is about begin, as Arabian warriors prepare themselves for treacherous fighting and bloodshed.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/42.jpg

The next day, the attack began and Arabian warriors held out without even taking a scratch. Lucky Arabs!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/43.jpg

Well, all that said, we go to Carthage. This one veteran warrior that has been siting around on its butt for 2000 years finally gets some orders.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/44.jpg

The Arabians send out a small attack force and head for Berlin, thinking Bismark is there, not knowing that he is hiding out somewhere else.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/45.jpg

And WTF!? When I was looking down at former India I saw this where Bombay used to be!:wow:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/46.jpg

Well, heh. Back to the story. Carthage squeezes in a city on the borders of both civs.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/47.jpg

Bakr needs to make a quick run to Medina for safety.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/48.jpg

While the archers were heading out, they found out that Hamburg was undefended, where Bismark was hiding out. The Arabians made theory that the Germans were switching Bismark with a spearman in Hamburg but the spearman didn't arrive in time and... Well, spearmen don't attack, so he retreated to Berlin?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/49.jpg

Germany makes advantage of their newly discovered tech, writing. They were curious with Carthage, for they were building up a small stack of swordsmen and archers on the German/Arabian border. Bismark wonders who they will attack but he gets no great answer from this:

I, the ancient storyteller return with more news. This time, a fatal trategy has occured, as world wars start up again. Word War 2 in 700BC!


So, here we have an Arabian battle plan, attemting to take out another civ.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/51.jpg

But their plan was terribly interupted. German swordsmen came to attack the city.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/52.jpg

And, meanwhile a German archer approaches Damascus, but it takes haevy casualties and the some remaining five archers of the 200 that attacked wondered off back into the jungle, feeding on locusts, but they were attacked and killed by barbarians.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/53.jpg

Meanwhile, Carthagians pitch in! The attack will begin!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/54.jpg

And now, the chariots zoom into the city, sacking alot of it, but were forced to retreat when the spearmen came around.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/55.jpg

Sucess!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/57.jpg

And, the citizens of Hamburg are a tad bit worried...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/gundamdude0079/56.jpg

The city was captured.

The current score and power graph:

Carthagian units near Medina, with Bakr the only defender, his spearmen a bit too late for reinforcements.
