Mod: Rhye's of Civilization, v1.38
Civ: Germany
Difficulty:Monarch
STARTED
Anyone up for a succession game on these terms? I'm looking for 3-5 other people to play this with me, with turn sessions of 10 turns each. I won't actually generate the game until everyone's signed up, so as there's no cheating.

Players:
sikandar323
Evil_Dr_V
Furrie

I'm interested if enough people sign up.
Rhye's is Vanilla only right?

Welome, FuRRie!

Yup, it is vanilla only. It'll be months before a Warlords version is released.

I will play, however I cant promice I will be any good...

Don't worry, it's "only" Monarch, so a lesser turnset can easily be put straight in the next one :)

thats quite a relief to be honest :)

Good to have you join Kairob! Now we just have to wait for one or two more people, then start!

I want to play, but I don´t know clearly the rules or basics requirements.

Basically, sikandar, you download the mod from here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=177), and extract it to your civilizationIV/mods folder. Then whenever you get the save, just load the save and play 10 turns, then post it here with a brief summary of what you have done.

It's for vanilla civIV, BTW.

Still want to play?

Can I Play I always Wanted To do A succession game

Sure, Evil_Dr_V! Just use that link to get the mod, and wait to get the save!

Now that we have enough people (though people can still join until we start), I'll start the game on Saturday, 10:00AM GMT+1. Make sure you have all downloaded the latest version of Rhye's mod.

Sorry guys I am leaving tomorrow, and have to have some work done to take with me, so I wont be able to play. Again apologies, I didnt think anything like this would come up, and I wont be back for a week. :(

I am home this weekend and won't have acces to Civ4 untill sunday evening (GMT+1).
But Tboy fell free to fire up the game and play first 20, i'll pick it up when i get back to my students room on sunday.

Ok Furrie, I'll play your 10 turns for you. Just try to be there for the next time round.

Kairob, shame to see you go, but I understand, I've had real life stop a game or two before. Do you wish to actually leave, or just stop until you get back?

Also, everyone, please be aware that the Rhye's of civilization mod has some odd features:

1.Not every civ starts at the same time, but later starting civs start with more techs and units.
2.When you build a city (after we spawn), it will start at size 3 and have a granary, aqueduct and (I think) a market.
3.When a new civ spawns, rival cities and units near the spawn point usually flip to the new civ (might happen to us, if we're lucky :) )
4.Each civ has a new way to win, a 'Historical Victory'. These are three coniditions which, if met, win that civ the game. They are based on what the civ did or was trying to do in real life. Please note than when you complete all the objectives, the game takes a few turns for you to actually win, so don't think it's broken.

There are other things as well, like Congress and city scripting, which are best explained by the manual that comes with the mod.

Last Time As Germany All the rest of rome fliped to me:cool:

And we begin! I've played the first 10 turns, so the rest of you do the same with your turns, ok?
First of all, the starting state of Germany:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/49904/Germansuccessiongamepicture1.JPG

Turn 1: Founded Berlin and got it started building a library. Started anarchy to get into Hereditary rule, Vassalage, Serfdom and Organized religion. Traded code of laws to Rome for Literature, meditation, sailing and 10 gold. Got workers started on resources, and sent one settler east, and one west, both with Longbowman escorts. Sent the rest of the army south to the border with Rome, as I reckon that some cities'll flip soon.

Turn 2:Founded Memel and started it building worker (well, it will when nthe anarchy ends). Sent west settler into Denmark to found Copenhagen next turn. Workers continue to work on resources. Army fortifies on border with Rome, still waiting for flip. Made contact with France, but they've no techs to trade for.

Turn 3:Anarchy ends. The Roman city of Laibach flips to us, which is the Christian holy city! :) Fortunately this does not lead to war with Rome, and adds a small (but obsolete) number of soldiers to our army. Also gains us contact with England and Greece. Trade currency to Rome for Calendar, and found the city of Copenhagen. Set Laibach to building worker. Start researching civil service, and army moves south towards Laibach. Since Rome has only two cities left and is at war with Greece, we could get something out of this situation...

Turn 4: Convert to Christianity, which gains us contact with Arabia and Spain, and gains us a whole load of LOS, and also causes 1 turn of anarchy. Christianity spreads in Berlin. Workers continue to work.

Turn 5: Anarchy ends. As French defenses are weak, I send the army westwards to prepare to attack Aix-la-Chappelle. Not much else to report.

Turn 6:Christianity spreads in Copenhagen. Army continues to move towards Aix-la-Chappelle. France offers to trade pig for cow, which I decline, as we'll be at war with them soon. Contact made with Egypt.

Turn 7: Army continues to move.

Turn 8:War! German troops move into French territory jsust outside Aix-la-Chappelle, where they capture a worker, who begins building a road that will connect the captured French territory to the Fatherland.

Turn 9: The battle of Aix-la-Chappelle rages. The catapult bombards the city, and then the army moves in. The city is taken, but at a high cost: 2 axemen and a spearman were lost. The German Army must fight hard until reinforcements can be sent.

Turn 10: Memel builds a worker, so I set it working on a barracks. Contact with the Russians is made. The swordsman in Aix-la-chappelle is given the city raider 1 promotion, and the axeman is given the combat 1 and shock promotions. They are both fortified in the city.

The state of europe at the end of turn 10 (930AD):

Now it's time for sikandar323 to play his 10 turns. I suggest you make peace with the French soon, as we already have one city of theirs, and we do not have the military to take more of their cities yet. But force concessions in the peace treaties, and don't surrender any cities. Or anything else, for that matter.

Here's the save, saved at the very end of turn 10. sikandar323, play yours until the end of turn 20, and then post the save with a report (doesn't have to be as lengthy as mine, could just be a brief summary.

EDIT: As sikandar323 hasn't replied for a while, we'll skip to Evik_Dr_V this time.

Okay i'm back.
Best to make peace with France and take em out in a later stage of the game, we can then move trough to spain and even Italy :)

Boo Peace Sucks Kill Every One :ar15: :mwaha: :satan:

we haven't heard from Siander from oct 06, I suggest DR_evil picks this one up so we can continue, I've PM'ed Sikander to post in this thread wether he still plays or not.

Ok, Evil_Dr_V, your turn to play. And I really wouldn't keep the war going. Not that I plan on allying with the French, but just so they don't kill us. Though we can and should kill 'em later, as one of our historical victories involves controlling them.

Got the game, i'll be playing this evening.

I've played my 10 turns, and have a nice amount of remarks :)
i'll post the log first, then i'll post my ideas/suggestions/comments.
Here goes:

Pre: I lightbulb banking with the Great Merchant
I swap back to Slavery, whipping is just too powerfull and serfdom really isn't usefull.

T2: France asks to declare on Mali, I accept, it's a phony war anyway
Trade Civil Service for Banking (thank you, we have Maces, soon to be grenadiers).

T4: Qin declares on us, whatever...
I take (and raze) As-Sur

T6: Sign OB with France

T8: Take and keep Urshalin (It has Stonehenge :crazyeye: )

T9: Meet India -> Peace

T10: Make peace with Mali and Japan


Ideas/Suggestions/Remarks/...
1. stop building so many knight ! Maces (grenadiers) are just much better against cities. Build 7/10 Maces (Grenadiers), 2/10 Cannons and 1/10 knights and we will be mopping up all the AI's so fast.
2. We might want to start working on our infrastructure (Market/courts/banks)
3. After we cripple Arabia some more we can do a 2 Pronged attack on Greece, attacking from our Homeland and out of Arabia, it will connect our Arabian cities with our german ones and we will have an AI less to worry about.
4. keep France and Spain frienly as long as possible, mainly attack East.
5. Our empire is starting to look good ^^

The file is too big to upload so i've placed it on YourFileHost.
http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=Bismarck_AD_1600_Turn_271.Civ4SavedGame

Got the save, will play soon.
One point to make: if we're going to get our historical victory (which could be a good idea) then we ought to try and grab Scandinavia. Founding a city at Lulea (at the coast of the northmost Baltic) would be a good idea. We'd also have to grab France, but we've got until 1900AD to do this, so that's a lot of time to build up troops.
EDIT: Dammit... Scandinavia's taken! Still, everything else seems good... time for some war! :evil:

Prelude turn: I check around, and our empire looks great, except for the money... ah well. Also, some pikemen would be useful in Arabia. Since I can't do much, I end turn.

Turn 3: Get chemistry, start on printing press. If only we had the money to upgrade our maces to grenadiers...

Turn 4: Greece makes peace with Arabia! I may have to end this war with Arabia soon, without Greece to distract them...

Turn 6: I take Kafah and raze it. As we may experience heavy losses from continuing this war, and probably not get many cities, I make peace.This gets us some more gold, which I use to upgrade to a few grenadiers.

And the save. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/49904/Bismarck_AD-1650_Turn_281.Civ4SavedGame)

I'm afraid it is too late to join, found it now. If Sikandar doesn't play I can replace him.

It's not too late to join, we need a fourth player.
we haven't heard from Sikander in 5 days now.
It's DR_Evil_V turn now, good luck with the turns :)

And after DR_Evil_V is who?

i am, then you are :)

I hate to say it, but as I'm swamped with work at the moment, and will probably continue to be, I'm going to have to leave this SG. Again, really sorry, but I can't keep playing and get all my work done.

Still, I wish you all good luck in continuing this game.

Haven't heard from dr_evil either.
so we really need some extra players.

CALLING ALL SG's PLAYERS PLEASE JOIN UP!!!
I geuss Hitti-Litti is up then, do enjoy your 10 turns and report asap so we can keep this SG going.

Furrie, have you played your turns, which come after dr_evil?

no, but do pick up Tboy's save, and play your turns, i'll play after you :)

OK, I'll play those tonight and post tonight, but before that how can I upload saves to posts?

when adding a (advanced) reply you have the option add attachments. (somewhere low on the page).
If the file is larger then 500kb you'll need to add to another site and post the link.

??? I can't play the save, it says "Runtime Error". This SG is not going very well.

You did load up Rhye's and Fall mod? (and the latest version of it?)

Edit; Ignore This Tried To Edit Posted In Stead

What About Me

The save is on another computer, I'll give it to you when I get to the computer. And it is Evil_Dr_V turn now.

Trying to upload, hope I'll be succesful

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/99967/Bismarck_AD-1695_Turn_290.Civ4SavedGame

Edit: Wow, it works!!

well Evil, we waited for you about 24 hours and you didn't react, so i've let Hitti-Litti play.
There is a rule in SG's saying 24hours to post a 'got it' and 48 hours to play your turns.
Try to check the thread daily to see wether your turn is up our not. Since you here when Hitti-Litti posts the save you can pick it up and play.

Can we have some pics :)

i'll try to add some when my turns come around :)

Hookmonkey, I took some but forgot to save them :blush:

Well, I can tell that Northern Italy and Rome, Germany, Hungary, Baltia and Denmark belong to our empire.

Ok Got The File

Evil, we're waiting for you...

been over 48 hours, i'm pretty much afraid this game is quite dead...

Are you still wanting people to sign up?

Never played a succession game before.

I just won my first monarch game but it was in 2007.

I have never played this mod before either.

Wow! Ye have won your first monarch game next year!

My first SG too, mod is absolutely THE BEST and guess there are empty places. This SG looks dead, though.
