- Sultan Bhargash

The world will be completely random, with Barbarians set to Roaming.

i will join. im ready to completely whoop the ai's ass!!!!!! what are the game specifics?

You mean as in what the world will be like? :confused: It's random, but if you mean any house rules, I don't really have any. We just win! :)

Hell, why not?
I'm in. 1.21f, right?

But of course! :goodjob:

Without much furthur ado, I shall start the game. The game is still open, though, so anyone who wants to join can.

Add me.

Welcome, everyone, welcome! :D Hail the Crazy Celts, who shall dominate the world and withstand the Test of Time!

Let us begin....

4000 BC: Not a bad start. We have a coastal space, with a mountain NE, and
furs and cattle near us. With forest to our left, I found Entremont. The people appear
satisfied with their furs. I send the Worker SW to connect the cattle.

3950 BC: Sid wants an assignment. It looks like we might be on an island, so I set it
to Map-Making as a goal. Jiggling with the slider does nothing, so I set back for some cash.

3900 BC: Building.

3850 BC: Worker finishes part of the road.

3800 BC: Worker moves to cattle.

3750 BC: He begins road-building.

3700 BC: Building.

3650 BC: Cattle is connected to Entremont.

3600 BC: Worker is sent to mountain to mine.

3550 BC: Worker begins mine.

3500 BC: Cultural influence expands! Warrior is built to explore the north.
Mmm...goody hut...

3450 BC: Warrior moves north.

3400 BC: We have poppage as our hero gets the goody hut. Mwahaha, POTTERY!

3350 BC: Entremont builds another Warrior to explore the south.

3300 BC: Exploring.

3250 BC: Exploring.

3200 BC: Southern Warrior comes to a dead end. :( It appears we have lots of jungle
to the north...

3150 BC: S. Warrior is sent back to town. N. Warrior continues to explore.

3100 BC: Archer is built. Still no results with the science slider, so I leave it.

3050 BC: Warrior fortifies in Entremont. The Exploring One finds a goody hut! He moves east.

3000 BC: "The friendly Goth tribe gave us maps of their region." Well, what do you know, blue borders...

Even though there's a lotta jungle to the north, I think we have a good start here. Here's the save:

Also a screen, if you so desire.

Right then, bewareofgnomes, you're up!

- CivCube
- bewareofgnomes - UP
- LordMongoose - On Deck
- Antonius Block
- OPEN

is this 1.21 or 1.14?

My thoughts:
Decent start, early lux and cattle is nice :).
We have too much defense in Entremont, we should be out there exploring and making contacts! Also, we should change archer-->granary so we can pump settlers and workers quickly. With all this jungle and a non-industrious civ, we will need HORDES of workers to make it into profitable land.
For the first settler we make, he should go on the jungle 1 tile NE of the hill where the northern river meets the sea. Good defense, gold, and a nice mix of terrain. Plus we reclaim a jungle tile :).
Go for it bewareofgnomes!

It's 1.21f. :(

I don't understand, though; would it be possible to reinstall and download the patch????

It is possible to uninstall the patch and reinstall it for different SGs. If I am correct, running the patcher for that patch uninstalls it once it's installed. Dunno-never tried.

umm sorry, but im going to have to skip this time around. i have some cd problems that will be cleared up by friday. sorry i didnt tell u this before, but i didnt realise that u were gonna start so soon.

OK, then I got it. Will play and post tomorrow.

am i mistaken, or is it just absolutely pointless to mine mountains this early in despotism. food is what we need now, not shields. we should have mined the cattle first! Lord MOngoose, could you please do us a favor and stop mining the mountain. sorry to sound harsh, but i no from exerience, mining a mountain this early hinders our expansion greatly.

I didn't choose to mine the mountain (haven't played yet), but thanks for catching it for me.

oh and btw, we should aim dor those dyes, as they are close to america's borders. (im pretty sure its america)

i know, i just wanted to make sure you would change it.

Whoops. *furiously takes notes concerning mining*

Do you think it was all right to research Map-Making???

prolly not. we could always trade for that or something. i suggest that we go straigt for republic to get out of despotism. once we get republic, you will be amazed how much quicker we can get techs such as map making.i also suggest that we go for pretty much straigt settlers. on the americans, we should build as many warriors as possible. our uu is a swordsman, therefore we could do a massive upgrade to gallic swordsman. this really is a bad start for our uu as the jungles get rid of the extra movemnt point. but, to make our uu succesful, we should build ALOT of workers. but we should keep a good balance between workers and warriors. another reason for republic is the extra cash. once we meet the americans, they should have bronze working.

to summarize, we should go straigt for republic, then trade for BW. we should then get IW. By this time we should have close to 15 warriors. we will upgrade all of these and take over america, and then later on develop map making.

Here's my turnlog and a proposed dotmap for our first two cities:

IT: Cancel worker mining mountain, switch entremont to granary, and send archer in Entremont to scout.
1 2950 BC: Begin mining cattle.
2 2900 BC: Contact Spain. They want all our tech and gold for BW. I decline.
3 2850 BC: Nothing.
4 2800 BC: Pop hut, get mysticism. MM Entremont for faster production.
5 2750 BC: Nothing.
6 2710 BC: I buy Spanish worker for Pottery and 39g. Extra workers are really nice to have.
7 2670 BC: Spanish worker begins chopping a forest.
8 2630 BC: After finishing with the cattle, our worker begins chopping forest with the Spaniard.
9 Finish granary, switch to settler. Due in 6, growth in 3 after MMing for faster growth.
10 Pop hut, get BW!!! Hot Damn!![dance] :yeah: :beer:. OK, I negotiate a straight tech for tech deal with Isabella, Mysticism for Alphabet. Writing due in 40, 3 gpt.

http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/ryewety/civwideshot.jpg
Here's my dotmap for the only good city sites within reasonable distance. Yellow dot is our main target and will KICK ASS if we can get there before Isabella does. 3 cattle, a gold hill, all on a river, what more do you want :goodjob:. Red dot grabs spices and fish and will suck until we get it a harbor. Otherwise, this is all jungle jungle jungle. We got a bad start, Isabella is much better off :mad:. So I agree with bewareofgnomes when I say we will need to :slay: :queen:.

The save: The Save (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/ryewety/crazycelts2550bc.sav)

I'll get this underway presently.

double post; see upload file below

Turnlog:

1 2510 BC- Warrior spies red border.
2 2470 BC- nothin doin
3 2430 BC- made contact with Rome, whom we lead in tech.
4 2390 BC- nothin doin
5 2350 BC - settler finished, spearman started.
6 2310 BC
7 2270 BC- settler moving north, warrior moving south, archer investigating.
8 2230 BC-
9 2190 BC- Entremont builds spearman which heads north, starts next spearman.
10 2150- where we are today, settler is across mountains nearing the dot, but I'd prefer the following suggestions be carefully considered.

- Should this settler not go north to the incense/river spot to claim it ahead of a second settler?

-if the answer is no, then wouldn't the jungle space between the ocean and the river be the best place for this city?

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads3/crazycelts2150bc.sav

OK:
First of all, save?
2nd, in response to your questions:
Unless the three cattle spot has been taken, that is where we need to go. 3 cattle that can ALL be irrigated is like God sending Jesus down to redeem the RNG and bring us into enlightenment (sorry if I offended anyone, I just needed a good simile). If not, then get the jungle between river and sea and we'll grab incense later.

I'll get to it, after I come back from practice later today. For now, this is a got it.

Hello I'd like to join this Sg if there is still a spot open.

I think there's a spot. You're after Antonius if Cube confirms you.

IT: Looking it over, I change tech priority to Republic, as you've said. The slider still does nothing.

2110 BC: Spearman and Settler are on their way to where LordMongoose pointed out. Warrior
is sent to guard incense. Archer goes on hill NE and finds a sea, with cattle close to Roman
borders. Spain has the Wheel and Rome has Iron Working. They're not willing to deal. :(

2070 BC: Barb spotted north of Entremont. It's too close to Settler for comfort, so Warrior
is sent down there. Meanwhile, Archer goes SE.

2030 BC: Entremont builds Spearman. Looks like enough defense, so I set it to Worker.
Hehe, barb says hello to Warrior. Warrior says goodbye. ]:) He is badly wounded, though.
The barb camp is spotted nearby. Archer finds there's plenty of
desert SE.

1990 BC: Haha, Settler reaches destination: Alesia is founded. Warrior sent within borders.
The blue people's cultural influence expands. Hmmm....

1950 BC: Entremont builds Worker, and sent to clear jungle. Warrior fortifies. Archer
finds a river.

1910 BC: Archer continues to explore. Workers finish road, continue on. Spearman garrisons
Alesia. We don't need more defense, so Worker is assigned.

1870 BC: Spearman fortifies in Alesia. Warrior takes care of barb camp.

IT: Barb found south of Archer. The people love us...expand our palace, you say?
Why thank you.

1830 BC: Archer goes south. Looks like Spain got another city. Warrior goes to guard
cattle. Meanwhile, Worker begins the arduous task of chopping away at a priceless ecosystem.

We have contact with the Babylonians. Ham offers the Wheel for our Alphabet and 3 Gold.
He's a penniless pauper (as usual); why not? I accept.

IT: The barb attacks us and loses. No damage to Archer.

1790 BC: Horses right by Alesia! Archer goes on mountain and sees another barb camp.

1750 BC: Exit barb camp. Warrior fortifies on cattle. Violet borders are spotted.

Interesting....

Well now, I believe LordMongoose is up, unless bewareofgnomes fixed that problem with his CD yet???

- CivCube
- bewareofgnomes - UP
- LordMongoose - On Deck
- Antonius Block
- Igor

bewareofgnomes can play tomorrow, so let him play this unless he wants me to, considering he's up in Block's BBB tomorrow as well. BTW, Civ, what about Igor? No, not the dude from Frankenstein, the dude from Serbia. He wants to join.

Igor, while I'm at it, do you have the PTW 1.21f patch? I doubt it, considering you're in Europe...

Yeah I installed that patch and tried it. Worked fine. I hope it stays that way :)

Really? Wonderful! :cool:

If the patch does work, I'll add you right away!

Disregard the PM I sent you earlier. :goodjob:

yep, gotta skip. coupla comments. dont mean to be rude or mean, just pointing out stuff. ALPHABET COST TWICE AS MUCH AS WHEEL!!!! it prolly doensnt matter now, but dont give the ai the ability to see horses (even tho they can newayz). you simply got ripped off. second, we need all of the settlers we can get. the ai doesnt attacke in warlord. it should grow fast enough w/out having to build spearmen. we will focus on workers later. i would do a dot map, but i cant right now. we should try to cut off their expansion and then settle the dyes(i think). aim for the silk(im terrible at identifying luxuries) or whatever that pink crap is. it looks like it is zulu, so have 1-2 spearmen though. dont worry about spain as they are commercial and generally not aggresive.

btw, how close are we to republic?

Eh, not too close. Still working on Writing.

what is our current research rate? please dont tell me its 20% or below (that would be a :smoke: )

The reason we're doing min science is to build up cash and slow the tech pace until we have contact with the world. It is pointless to research ourselves when Abe or Alex or the Hammer would do it for us. We need time to expand and grow. We suffered a starting disadvantage, as our capital is on a peninsula. But Alesia, as I've said, will probably be our FP site and kick ass later in the game. I see size 20+ right there. We have a crap start, so rather than research, settle like mad after developing Alesia's cattle and making it into a settler factory and wait for Chivalry to drift our way. Then knights and kill kill kill. I recommend against using Gallic Swordsmen, they cost too much to upgrade or build and with all the jungle the RNG handed us they'll take forever to build. So relax, cut a path through that jungle, build the FP, settle settle settle, and the world will think the Celts are intent on a diplo victory. Heh. They forgot we're Militaristic.

I agree on Alphabet for Wheel though, that was a :nono:.

yah, but this is warlord, meaning we can leave the ai behind in research. and, if we are not going to do a mass upgrade to gallic swordsman, then what is the point of money? getting republic faster will just increase our gold.

This is warlord level, we have maximum flexibility in strategy- maybe you should double the turn numbers so each person has more impact on ruling style vis a vis scientific research speed...

OK got the game. Will post as soon as I finish


Edit: Oh wait is it my turn. I have no idea. I'll just wait until you guys over there wake up

i thick antonius is up next, but u are after him.

btw, i cant wait any longer, and as soon as i get home from school im going to pick a copy of civ 3 up, so i can play tonight, all night.

AFAIK I just went. Waiting for CivCube or Lord Mongoose, etc. to go.

it is bewareofgnomes' turn, I believe. Then me, then Block, then Igor.

alright, i am about to go out and buy another copy of civ 3. i will prolly have it done by no later then 10 CST. this will be my first turn log, so it wont be nothing special

alright, i "got it", but i am havong troubles with my good comp installing it. ( http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48274 )So, i am forced to play on my horrbly slow comp with no internet acces so i will have to be swithing in cd rw and so on and so forth, so it might take awhile

bewareofgnomes, would you like us to skip you?

nah, ive got it under control. im ordering a new comp this weekend though. it will be real nice :)

:cry: :cry: :aargh: MY GODDAMNED COMPUTER WONT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. IF ITS NOT ONE THING ITS ANOTHER!!!! im getting a new comp *hopefully* by early next week. i cant play on my old P.O.S. it freezes all the godamned time. will let u know when i get comp. until then, skip me.

btw, whoever is next, will you please switch temple to settler. having a temple makes NO difference. also, with that settler go try to get those dyes nest to hambi. i think our culture can hadle him. if not then :hammer:

Got it.

IT: I switch temple->settler, but decide on sending settler pair to spices rather than dyes. Dyes are too much of a stretch, and with all that surplus, hammy will sell cheap.
1 1725 BC: Settler->temple while waiting for population to grow. Someone automated workers! :nono:
2 1700 BC: Alesian worker->temple.
3 1675 BC: COntact w/ Vikings made. Trade 136 gold for masonry. Buy IW off Caesar for Masonry and 45 gold. We have iron, on a roaded mountain no less! [dance] :yeah: :band:. Alesian worker begins irrigating cattle.
4 1650 BC: Nothing
5 1625 BC: Nothing
6 1600 BC: Entremont temple->settler
7 1575 BC: Buy writing off Isabella for IW and 1g. Code of Laws in 40. Alesia worker roads cattle.
8 1550 BC: Barbs attack settler pair. No damage. Entremont's borders expand. Lugdunum founded, temple in 30. We need temple ASAP to get fishy in borders. Camp dispersed by Lugdunum's founding. BArbs attack, we win w/ no damage. Palace upgrade!
9 1525 BC: Ragnar has contact w/ Gandhi, but won't sell. Grrr.
10 1500 BC:Worker on gold hill to mine and road, warrior fortified to protect it. Isabella's borders expand, taking alesia's two northern cattle. THOSE ARE MY COWS DAMMIT!!! In order to fight this cultural battle, I :whipped: Alesia's temple out. There'll be some minor problems, but the temple should take care of them. Isabella is first on the list to go. YOU CAN'T TAKE MY COWS!!! Exploring archer spots purple border. Gandhi?

Agenda:
Entremont's next settler should grab horses. We need horses if we're gonna kill everyone with knights in the middle ages. One bonus to all this jungle, we'll probably find some rubber in there once we get Replaceable Parts.

The Save (http://www.angelfire.com/nj4/ryewety/crazycelts1500bc.sav)

U guys have HORRID land.

Sultan's Reign:

1. 1475 BC Alesia builds temple, begins barracks, scout sees Tlatelolco.

2. 1450 BC Nada

3. 1425 BC Entremont builds settler, starts spearman. I'll wait since I don't recall the dotmap.

4. 14OO BC Jungle cleared, road begun on spot.

5. 1375 BC Nil

6. 1350 BC insignificant

7. 1325 BC Spearman done, barracks begun. Vikings trade indians contact for Arab contact. With 8 gold.

8. 1300 BC Archer goes north.

9. 1275 BC Archer moves along

10. 1250 BC Workers go up into mountains with spearman. The settler is where I think our next town should be (quick horsemen) but I didn't make the city in case the next ruler wants it somewhere else.

Ah, here is the turn.

i will have acces to a computer tonight that works!!!!!! for tonight only. i was wondering if i could skip CivCube

Sure, I don't mind. The less chances I have to bungle the game, the better, right? :D

Thing is, it's Igor's turn, and you'll need his OK.

i honestly dont think igor will mind. im going to play it anyways, an if he really wants to play, then he can play. so i got it

Yeah go ahead I don't mind at all, but when is my turn then?

As soon as now or as late as after the next guy who posts them... ?

sorry about the delay guys, but i played at my friends house and the gamesave and turn log is over there. i will be going there tomorrow. im very sorry about the delay.

after long wait, i can finally post the turns. i will have my comp by tommorw so i can play to my hearts content. :)

Preturn - change mont from barracks to settler

Turn 1 - I don’t build city of horses. Decide to either build colony or wait till we expand

Turn 2 - Alesia barracks>worker, mont settler>worker

Turn 3 - attack barbarian camp, start mining iron (iron will greatky boost shieds)

Turn 4 - alesia worker<worker (I like them a lot)

Turn 5 - found cammul…

Turn 6 – mont- barracks>worker

Turn 7 - aleshia worker>worker (now officially worker factory)

Turn 8 - mont worker> colussas (prebuild for something)

Turn 9 - nadda

Turn 10 - done mining mountain change collasus to settler, due in four. Try to settle in flood plains

and the save... i was too lazy to change the save name, but it is the right save.

Igor is up.

bewareofgnomes- maybe you should consider, potentially, and I'm not being critical at all, this is a mellow gaming forum and all, but maybe you should consider not being so lazy!!!! :p

sorry, but i had only limited amount of time. (it was like 5:am)

Got it. Will post in a bit

guess what? iI GOT MY NEW COMPUTER!!!!!!!!! it is a dell 2,4 ghz, 256 RAM, 60 GB hard drive, and i have civ 3 installed!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats.

I can't open the save. I don't know what's wrong with my Civ3. Maybe I do need the 1.14 patch only

Oh boy. You really in Serbia? If you have the European version of the game, and this game was started with 1.21, then you will not be able to access it...

well, then who is next?

Yeah I live in Serbia but we get all kinds of versions of games here. Some are European and some are US. I don't know why it won't work. Single player worked fine. I'll see if I can fix this problem. I'll let you know beofre my next turn if I got it to work or not

CivCube is next on the list.

Keep trying to get the last download working, Igor. Maybe try adding the 1.21 patch and see what happens.

Then...shall I go now???

yes

I got it, but I won't be able to play until tomorrow. Sorry about the delay. :blush:

Preturn: It would be nice to know what are our neighbor's relations with others are.
I set up an embassy in Madrid. They got a settler there. Embassy also set up in Babylon.

The Vikings have Map Making and Horseback Riding. The Aztecs order us out of their borders.

900 BC: Alesia builds Worker. He is sent to chop down the jungle.
Workers finish mining cattle near Alesia, and are sent to clear jungle.
Settler continues SE.

875 BC: Workers mine near Alesian mountains.

850 BC: Entremont builds Settler. Hmm. I send him to where southern Warrior is for now.
Eastern Settler is in the best place he can be, so he founds Richborough. *cringe*

825 BC: Worker begins mining gold near Alesia.
"Master, Lugdunum has produced Temple. Shall we begin work on-?" Worker will do nicely.

800 BC: Worker finishes mine near our capital; he's gone to deal with the dire situation
concerning Lugdunum.

Intraturn: A certain Ragnar Lodbrok offers his World Map for ours and 80 gold.


.................................................
.................................................
................................................oh god. Damn. Accidentally clicked "yes". :(
:( :( :( :( :( However, they do have Math, Code of Laws, Map Making, and
Horseback Riding.

775 BC: A Babylonian Warrior visits us. Contacting him, Ham wants Horseback Riding for 70 g.
The lowest is 56 g. Meanwhile, Isabella would gladly give it us for our World Map and *30* g.
That's not such a bad deal.

750 BC: Alesia set to walls.

730 BC: Alesia finishes walls, and is set to granary.

710 BC: Lugdunum's cultural influence expands. Entremont set to walls.

690 BC: Nothing.

That was HORRIBLE! :p

why didnt you just load the auto save? you know that you can do that when your finger slips. we need to be building up horsemen if we plan to invade with knights. or we could do a prebuild of the pryamids for TGL which wou;d catch us up in tech. i think that i am up so i "got it" will play this evening and post tonight.

I don't reload on principle, unless my PC crashed or something.

ok got us up to par on scienc i think. here is th turn log

Preturn -nothing much. I decide not to veto walls because there is nothing else to build. Though for future reference, I have found that on regent and lower your capitol soesnt usually get attacked mking walls a waste of a couple of gpt

Turn 1 - start oracle prebuild in mont. How are we sofar behind in WARLORD.

Turn 2 -notta

Turn 3 -rush granary

Turn 4 - code of laws researched granry>courthouse

Turn 5 -we buy philosophy AND map making for *gulp* 210 gold. I fugure we will make that up in republic. Build harbor in mont

Turn 6 -worker>worker

Turn 7 -notta

Turn 8 -notta

Turn 9 -set scientist to research republic

Turn 10 founded veru... mont built harbor set to build galley

and the save...

I'm sorry guys I just can't load the saves so I guess I can't continue this SG

Sorry to hear that Igor. You must have the European version. Or- there is a possibility you can't load it because you are using Netscape... if that's the case, make a last ditch try with IE.

Whoever's turn is next, report...

alright, whoever was up should be sjipped

I guess it's Antonius' turn now.

~ Igor (????)

Wow, a surprise to me. Can you guys skip me, I have a tonne of work to get done in the next day and a half.

EDIT: At 508pm EST (GMT -5 hrs) I grabbed the game and will report with ten turns within two hours.

Here Fergus MacBhargash took over from the previous king and came to learn the lay of the land.

Preturn- Montezuma asks us to back up from his kingdom and we do. I sell him our world map for his plus 30 gold.

1. 510 bc- Meetings with cabinet members.

Domestic Advisor- Increase entertainment expenditure to one. Return entertainer in Alesia to work.

Trade Advisor- unconnected cities=Camulodunum, Verulamium, and Richborough.
The first two can be short term remedied with harbors after current builds, but the last, on the other side of Babylon, will have to act as a benchmark to our destiny.

Military Advisor- we have an average military compared to Babylon and should build Archer.

Foreign Advisor- bought Mathematics from the Scandinavians and have sold it to our allies to defray half of the cost.

Offturn: Vikings build Oracle.

2. 490 bc- Cam temple build hurried.

Offturn: Cam temple to harbor.

3. 470 bc- Spanish spearmen forcibly ejected from Alesia road so workers can begin coastal ring road.

Offturn: Our archer ejected from Aztec territory, where he’d been fortified.

4. 450 bc: Notta

Offturn: Ver warrior>barracks.


5. 430 bc: Notta

Offturn: Galley>settler in capital.
24 gold to Babylon to keep them at bay. Worker built changed to barracks in NE in anticipation of a future war on a-babylon…

6. 410 bc: Notta

7. 390 bc: archer kills barbs, gets 25 gold and goes elite while Jaguar warrior looks on.

Offturn: Entremont Settler>Gallic Swordsman

8. 370 bc: entermont swordsman and settler get on board galley for Babylon area (potentially) or where the archer is (less likely to outrun the Aztecs).
Jungle Coast Road one is totally cleared, roaded, and mined.

9. 350 bc: notta

10. 330 bc: not a whole lot, the swordsmen and settler head north on the inland sea. My idea is to plant them amid Babylon which we should consider the other cities as already being ours as we plant and develop a road between our cities. I hope my followers will begin to arm veteran Gallic swordsmen for a bit of liberating…

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/crazy_celts_330_BC.SAV

The save hath been receiveth. Shall post as soon as possible.

Sorry about that, Igor. :(

Antonius: I'm starting on Mort. :)

We're in 3rd place, with the Vikings in the lead.

Montezuma: "If you seek to antagonize the Aztec people, Celts, continue to menace Tlaxcala.
It is working splendidly!" Well, excuuuuse me.

~ 310 BC: Workers continue to build road to Camulodunum. One stays behind to clear jungle.
So does one by Alesia. The worker on the Alesian mountains goes to clear jungle by
Lugdunum. Our daring heroes in their sea craft continue on their quest.

Babylonian Settler heads north.

Alesia finishes their damn courthouse, with all their stupid rules like "Keep Off The Grass"
or "Don't Brandish A Spear Vigorously In Someone's Face". Harumph. I'll consider the Block's
advice and have 'em work on Gallic Swordsman.

~ 290 BC: Worker begins clearing jungle by Alesia. The Daring Quest continues.
Dang it, our archer's in the middle of Aztec territory. Move out.
I send a worker to mine gold on the hill by Camel O' Dung.

Smellorabi grows suspicious of the toy boat off his (our) coast. Don't worry, Babylonian
scum. Yet.

~ 270 BC: Deployed Settler and Spearman on coast to snuggle with Babylonian towns.
Eep, Roman settler comes dangerously closer...even worse, civil disorder in Alesia.
Apparently a few of them didn't like the "oppression we bore down upon them".
*cough*bewareofgnomes*cough* I convert some Entertainers. An Archer is sent to guard the
border.

Ooh boy, this is getting bad. A Spanish settler is ALSO interested in our side
of the map.

Gandhi: I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Eww.

Gandhi: Not that, you fool! Want to swap Territory Maps?

Um, sure.

~ 250 BC: Order restored in Alesia, the fickle retards. Worker begins mining gold.
Verulamium finishes Barracks, and starts slaving away on Walls.

~ 230 BC: Nothing of any exciting worth happens in this year. How embarrassing.

Chocolate Boy is upset about our Archer.

~ 210 BC: Crap! Now I see where those Settlers are going. Move some defense there...
and yell at those #@^#@&% for trespassing! Poof-the Red Ones are gone.

Montezuma is still miffed.

Lugdunum finishes Barracks, and begins on Walls.

~ 190 BC: Gergovia is founded, and works on Barracks. Road is begun to connect this village.
.......yes! The Spanish are gone-poof.

~ 170 BC: Entremont builds Gallic Swordsman, and is set to Settler.
GS is sent to guard the horsies.

~ 150 BC: And like that, poof, the Babylonian settler about to intrude on our turf is gone.

Verulamium finishes Walls, and begins Temple.

~ 130 BC: A Gallic Swordsman arises from Alesia, and charges
full ahead to Babylonian territory!

Hmm...progress.

The heck? It won't let me upload the save. It won't accept anything above a few kilobytes.

You have uploaded using the upload file button below, rather than adding as an attachment to your message, right?

btw I am reading Sourcery, only have Theif of Time left before they are all done. :eek:

hmmm, are you trying to upload it or attach it?

I was trying to attach it. Maybe the saves get larger as the game progresses?

Hmm...I'll try to upload it..."This page cannot be displayed." :mad:

thats odd, its ben working for me

Try changing browsers.

And here we are:

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/GET_THEM!!!!!.sav

i guess im up. got it and will play prolly tomorrow, but i might play some tonight.

*twiddles thumbs*

*checks watch*

*is slapped for impatience*

I'm sorry, but are you done yet?

whoa. OMG :wallbash: im sorry guys i completely forgot it was my turn. was wondering why it was moving so slow. cant play tonight or tomorrow, so you are going to have to skip me. im so stupid :wallbash: im terribly sorry. damn, i held it up for 5 days. :weed:

It's all right, bewareofgnomes. :)

Well, I guess LordMongoose is up, then.

well, he is MIA, and should be auto skipped. thats whats happening in my other sg's.

Oh. Hmm...if Antonius Block can't go, then I'll do it.

Whoa, sorry, I didn't realize it was my turn. And this is just what I want, ten turns of fun. I will get it back to you guys before 3 AM EST (GMT -5).

Pre turn: Return of Tony O’Block. A leader committed to aggressive defense.

Hurrying spearman production in Richborough results in one civilian death.
Entremont settler production changed to spearman, available immediately.
Lugdunum production turned to 7 turn available worker. My plan is to consolidate workers to create square production teams capable of improving the landscape in this area quickly. Likewise I’ve activated sentried archer and swordsman on the Eire hills.
Offturn: Richborough spearman>temple.
Entremont spearman>temple.

Turn 1: 110 BC- I upgrade the warrior in Entremont to Gallic swordsman for 80 gold, putting us at 216 (+14 a turn).
Offturn: Palace build (dais).

Turn 2: 90 BC- Nada.
Offturn: I blow the treasury (230 gold) on Literature from the Vikings.

Turn 3: 70 BC- Verulamium temple is hurried by using pieces of the galley that had been sentried there. One citizen is accidentally killed in the dedication proceedings.
Offturn: Verulamium temple>worker.

Turn 4: 50 BC- The worker gang, now accompanied by two swordsmen and an archer, strive to connect Georgiva.
Offturn: Entremont settler>spearman.

Turn 5: 30 BC- Settler and a swordsman move into the great western jungle to found last natural city of the Celts.
Offturn: Trondheim completes Great Wall.

Turn 6: 10 BC- Nada.
Offturn: Georgovia barracks>Temple

Turn 7: 10 AD-Nada.
Offturn: Nada.

Turn 8: 30 AD- Augustodorum founded on the jungle coast at the extreme western tip of the continent. First build to be harbor. This is strictly a border securing city for now, with the hope being the harbor will generate surplus population to build workers who will clear the land about for future productivity.
Offturn: Entremont spearman>swordsman.

Turn 9: 50 AD- Just putting the finishing touches on my administration.
Offturn: Vermulamium worker>courthouse: my successor is free to change this but I’d love to see it done by cutting down forests locally and putting a mining system in. The resulting boost in production could give us a forward power boost in assembling replacements for the small army I’ve got forming.

Turn 10: 70 AD (2,000 years before I was born).
The road to Verumulamium is complete and I can thus upgrade one of the warriors there to Gallic swordsman (but not yet the other, that could happen next turn and I advise it to my successor.

The save:

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/Crazycelts70_AD.SAV

Receival implemented.

About to play.

While in his sleep, Antonius Block was assassinated by the old means of poison in the ear. "Tch," said the advisors, "such lack of style."
They picked the next ruler by questioning the ceremonial autistic son of the priest.
"Child, who shall we name Ruler of All Crazy Celts?"
"...............donuts. Yes. Definitely donuts."
And so a glazed donut was put in rulership of all...until it too was assassinated by means of consumption.
They asked again..."Oh child, who NOW is the ruler of all Crazy Celts?"
"..........25, 25, 25. Yes. 25."
"Well then, that seals the bucket. The number 25 is now-"
"CivCube. Oh yes. CivCube. Home run, CivCube."
And so....

:lol:

Ah yes. Here we are. The rule of the Cube shall begin now, okay?

Antonius Block, you fool! You turned the music off! How can you have a decent
game of Sid Meier's Civilization III WITHOUT the music??! Sheesh.

A Settler goes by...

Camulodunum finishes Harbor, and begins Walls.

Something unexpected: "Great One, the loyal citizens of Seville have overthrown
their oppressors and have pledged allegiance to us! They yearn to be with us."

Great! Install a new governor...or something like that. Set it to Walls.

90 AD - Sent some Workers to clear some jungle.

110 AD - Go away and clear some jungle, slave; don't bother me.

Babylonians have finished the Pyramids! They will pay....

130 AD - Civil disorder in Alesia. They don't like being whipped to death, apparently.

Alesia switches to the Great Library for the time being.

170 AD - Nothing.

"LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLE!!!!!" Quick, get the chips! The Vikes declared war
on the Aztecs!

190 AD - Seville finishes Walls, goes to Temple.

Ahhhhahahaha! We have finished Republic. I set tech research to Polytheism, and start a
regime change. One second later, the Crazy Celts are now slightly civilized. Traded Republic
with Caesar for Construction, his World Map, 6 Gold, and his Territory Map.

Gulp, the Vikings are in the Middle Ages.

230 AD - Aztec Settler and Archer got too close to prime spot for comfort, so...I declared war.
They'll be too busy with the Scandinavians to bother with us.

250 AD - Nothing.

Camulodunum finishes Walls, begins Worker.

260 AD - Guess what? Nothing.

Rodbrok is wary of our people near his little cottages. Very well smelly Norwegian,
if you don't like having the Epitome of Cleanness stare you in the face....

Holy moly. Rome joined in the war against the Aztecs. Better pull out of this fast.

270 AD - Entremont finishes Galley.

290 AD - Gergovia finishes Walls, and goes to work on, well, Worker. Aaaand, cultural
influence expands!

Now it gets interesting....

Whomever's next, tread lightly...

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCelts280_AD.SAV

@Civcube; having the music off was part of my proudest use of my computer ever; with internet radio, a word document, paint, and the game all running at the same time. Who is next in this game?

its igor then me. i cant play till friday afternoon, so igor should have some time.

Igor isn't with us anymore- the game didn't work in his system. Someone should correct the front page.

Whoops, guess I should do that.

Antonius, forgive me for not keeping updated on the uses of your PC. :p

then i got it and will be able to play later on today, or tonight.

Preturn - uhh, where is our army?

Turn 1 - notta

Turn 2 -notta

Turn 3 -fire the clowns. There is no need

Turn 4 -TGL complete in tenochtilan. We wont be able to get it until after education so no worries. Switch alesia to palace, due in 8. Meant for prebuild, but if nothing arises, it would prolly be a better capitol spot

Turn 5 -aztecs will take pease for either 62 gold and 2gpt or currency and 64 gold. Ill take currency

Turn 6 -richborough temple>walls

Turn 7 -notta

Turn 8 -notta

Turn 9 -notta

Turn 10 -the people add onto the palace.

I am begining to see why people don’t play with the celts. I wouls much rather have 5 30 shield swordsman then 3 50 shield gallic swordsman. Its one of those time that you wish you could have an option not to build the uu. Anyways poly in 2, suggest to get feudalism at all cost, therefore allowing us to get sun tzues, as the palace is due in 3. Good luck to the next player.

Btw, I built a wjopping 2 gallics in ten turns. It takes the magical 10spt city 5 turns to build a gallic. Should have built tons of warriors and then upgraded.

and the save...

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCelts370_AD.SAV

I believe that Antonius Block is next.

I don't know what you mean by clowns. :confused: :p

the entertainers.

Ah. Never mind. :crazyeye:

Isn't Lord Mongoose after 'gnomes or did they switch places?

mongoose is missing in action. no one has heard from him in weeks. thus, he is in auto skip, so that means its either block or cube. whoa. that irionic, block and cube. never noticed that before. also, thats what were working on in math. ahhhhhhh

GOT IT, will play the turns and post before the Easter Bunny visits.

The fog cleared, and the old leader was no more.
From the fog emerged a figure out of legend, the old gray bearded Anton O’Block.

And he took the Celts to glory.

Before the turn he visited every unit, conferred with every advisor, and determined a course of action.

World Map and 12 Gold to the Vikings to learn polytheism two turns early. We move on to Feudalism.

Verulamium bustles with activity as I hurry a spearman there, upgrade the sleeping warrior to a gallic swordsman, and prepare to mass a force with the objective of controlling the pyramids by the end of my ten year reign.

We sell Polytheism to Spain for their world map plus fourteen gold. We sell spices to Babylon for ten gold. This extra gold is used to hurry the harbor at Augustodorum, where we’re moving out the Gallic Swordsman and will put in a defender soon. This was to pay back a campaign favor.

Lugdunum library changed to Gallic Swordsman which will be available next turn. This is our unique unit, this is our glory days, we need those Pyramids.

Changed Lugdunum’s production from unattainable library to 9 turn barracks. Yeah, baby!

Seville’s courthouse is now 5 turn barracks as well.

370 AD Offturn: Richborough walls>spearman, Augustodorum harbor>spearman.

Turn One: 380 AD. There is much troop movement as a stack of doom begins assembling just outside of Babylon.

Offturn: Nothing.

Turn Two: 390 AD “Hello, Hammurabi, why don’t you go ahead and give us Monotheism or accept the consequences? Share your God with us, for crying out loud.”
“We reject your demands.”
“So be it.”

1st swordsman into Babylon kills his spearman and we go Golden Age.
2nd swordsman goes in, easily kills his spearman, goes elite, and captures Babylon and the Pyramids. I rename the city Block’s Forbidden City and the first build after some workers are spawned will be the Forbidden Palace.

3rd swordsman heads south to liberate the Ivory of new capital Ninevah.
4th swordsman captures a worker unit outside of BFC and moves in to that city help keep resistance down.
5th swordsman… well I can’t tell you anymore except that from what we understand the rest of the force intends to see Nineveh captured, then the rest of the Babylonian cities should fall fast.

I am speeding science funding to get us to Feudalism in 14 turns. We should get a great leader out of this war and it would be nice to see him go to Sun Tzu’s production.

Offturn: Alesia palace:spearman. Civil disorder in Richborough after troops move to preempt strike Ur. But the citizens build me some palace like I deserve.

Turn 3: 400 AD: When the elite archer from Richborough dies not killing one of Ur’s spearman, the warrior companion decides to destroy the road to Richborough through the woods there in order keep that far province out of the rest of the war. Jungle is cleared and a mine is built on the road south of Camuludomum. Capturing Nineveh takes two attacks by swordsmen, the second who goes veteran walking into the city. Resistance is high there so I’ll set worker for the first build.
Their new capital is Elipi and that is the goal in view for two more swordsmen.

Offturn: Seville Barracks>Gallic swordsman. Alesia spearman>Gallic swordsmen.
Georgovia Gallic swordsman>Gallic swordsman (beware the setting; unit build is on repeat without consulting you).

Turn 4:410 AD: Uneventful, other than a regular spearman dying in front of Elipi. Bigger forces are ready to take there and Akkad in two turns.

[b]Offturn:[b]Entremont Gallic Swordsman>aquaduct… not an intuitive build this is warlord level, I’ll risk it.

Turn 5: 420 AD: BFC put on a starvation diet to calm resistence. Swordsmen beat Elipi down to one spearman with two hit points and stay alive.
Another regular swordsman dies, at Ur. That city will pay when we come into pacify it. The gold mine on the hill north of Camulumdum is finished. Spearman hurried at Augustodorum for 20 gold. Akkad will fall soon, but I’ll admit the war for the outpost cities has gone behind schedule.

Offturn: Augustodorum spearman>temple.

Turn 6:430 AD: One space of road in the jungle leading to Ashur is complete and a swordsman jumps thru it to Ashur’s walls. An advance scout, he may not be called on to fight right away but to guard the workers as they finish the road.
One swordsman dies, another takes near fatal injuries failing to kill either of Akkad’s guards. L Richborough is connected by road to Viking country (but needs to hook up by road to us). Soldiers from B.F.C. move back towards Akkad; we are close to setting up for peace if things don’t go well but I want that sea ward city as part of our manifest density. I sell spices to Spain for eleven gold to get enough money to hurry a settler out of F.B.C. who will fill in the neutral zone between FBC and Richborough.

Offturn:Alesia Gallic Swordsman>Gallic Swordsman.
Nineveh worker>spearman. Richborough spearman>barracks.

Turn 7:440 AD: A veteran archer dies outside the walls of Elipi. The one severely wounded warrior there is ordered to return to our territory to heal.
AKKAD FALLS- THREE GALLIC SWORDSMEN KILL THREE SPEARMEN.
ONE RESISTER. BLOCK SAYS “FIRST BUILD=WORKER.” The swordsman outside Ashur gets optimistic and dies in front of the workers- the spearman out of Camulodunum needs to move up to cover the workers. The Alesia swordsman will join them.

Offturn: “Spain and Aztecs have signed a military alliance against Rome.”
Block’s Forbidden City Settler>temple.

Turn 8:450 AD: A direct road to Ashur is connected by our workers. Taking that city is winning dyes for our people, it is our new and final war goal. Our lone galley is disbanded to speed Entremont aquaduct production by one turn.

Offturn:

Turn 9:460 AD: Roads officially link Augustodorum. The engineering team at Ashur are now going to build road on the gold producing hill that will connect to the Alesia road. Taking it will be my last act as ruler. I jack up luxury to 20% (research is at 40% and we make 13 gold a turn) to help with the rioting that is busting out everywhere.

Offturn:Citizens of Alesia die of disease. I move them out of jungle spaces. Seville Gallic Swordsmen>Aquaduct. Georgova Gallic swordsman>aquaduct. Alesia Gallic swordsman>Gallic swordsman.

Turn 10:470 AD: Agedincum founded on road between FBC and Richborough- whatever happens now we have a clear road to that part of the world; I’m in favor of taking Ur but can’t get that done on my watch. First build=spearman.
1st swordsman goes elite hitting Ashur. Road on hill next to Ashur is done, mining begun there. The first time in a long time I’ve been able to engineer for the soon-to-be mine enemy city ahead of time.

2nd swordsman goes elite taking Ashur. ASHUR FALLS TO CELTIC SWORDS! There is one resister. First build=worker. BABYLON OFFERS MONOTHEISM, FEUDALISM, 22 Gold, 2 gold per turn, WORLD MAP, TERRITORY MAP for PEACE. BLOCK SAYS “MY SUCCESSOR WILL JUDGE THE WORTH OF THAT DEAL.” In sad post-talk fighting, a Celtic swordsman dies attacking a bowman in the jungle near Ur.

At the end of my reign, we have two Gallic swordsmen outside of Ur, possibly enough to take it, with more on the way. On the other hand, Babylon is offering a fat deal for peace. I will let my successor decide whether Babylon keeps playing with one city or two, or when they disappear completely. This was too easy- I hope you guys didn’t have some kind of “no war” clause I didn’t see…

The save...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Anton O'Block: My people...my Crazy Celts. My reign was proud and great, and I wish for it to be remembered in that manner. I choose as my successor the son of the b*****d who killed my ancestor. Even so, I find him worthy enough. May I present...Seamus CivCube. Do you accept, my heir?

CivCube: I got the save.

Anton O'Block: What the hell is a save?

CivCube: Uh....

Rejoice, for our people the Crazy Celts have entered a new era of development!

Whew, good thing we're at peace with the Aztecs. We are the Crazy Celts, but to be involved
in a world war would be nuts. In the meantime, I'll just set the disorderlish cities to have
Entertainers.

Shammurabi now just wants a peace treaty! The little bugger. When pressed, though, he
offers the same fat deal, sans Feudalism. Hmmmmm.......Seamus CivCube has an idea.

~ 480 AD: Send one Gallic Swordsman to Ellipi. And another. The latter cuts off connections.
We attack Ur! One GS is mortally wounded and sent out. Wait, cut off the road! Some Workers
begin work on the Ashur gold mine, while others go to connect the dyes.

~ 490 AD: Feudalism complete! Begin researching Engineering.
Richborough - Barracks > Pikeman, Alesia - Medieval Infantry > Sun Tzu's Art of War, which
is due in 24 turns. Send Alesian MI to Ur.

~ 500 AD: Babylon twitches a Bowman.

~ 510 AD: Augustodorum - Temple > MI

Ah, the people love us...they added some nice trees to our front lawn.

~ 520 AD: Hello hello, Bablyon decides to get snippy with Richborough. Bah, our good Spearmen
finish Ham's Bowman. Another is sent on the way.

Gandhi: Let me know your kingdom's borders so that I can invade it!

Seamus CivCube: *cheerily* You're wacked! Have a nice day!

~ 530 AD: Entremont - Aqueduct > Worker

BFC - Temple > Walls

Lugdunum - Aqueduct > Walls

The Aztecs finished the Colossus for us...for us, indeed.

~ 540 AD: A Bowman attacks Richborough again, and dies again. Two are sent from Ur and Ellipi.
Way to go, Ham! Thanks for lowering your defense. ATTACK!!! The Ur spearman is, shall we
say, "disbanded" by an MI.

Lugdunum - Walls > MI

~ 550 AD: Augustodorum's cultural influence expands. And I think I will...ATTACK AGAIN!!! Another
Ur Spearman is disbanded by a brave MI. Richborough Pikeman sent to Warrior-defended Agedincum.

Ragnar Lodbrok: Cattle die, kinsman die, and all are mortal! Do not sit on your hands as
Aztecs attacks, Brennus.

Seamus CivCube: Nay! For not only do I NOT want to be involved in your little world war,
I simply cannot stand poor grammar! And my name's not Brennus. Hang your head in shame.

BFC - Walls > Barracks...and dammit. Sorry, I accidentally sent two Workers in Babylon's way.
But I'm sure that will be taken care of.

~ 560 AD: Attack Ur again!...and lose one GS. Think we should upgrade soon.

~ 570 AD: Workers are lost to Babylon. *sigh* :(

My plan is to take Ur and THEN accept their nifty-looking deal.

Hopefully my successor will do better than Seamus CivCube the Worthless.

On the other hand, sixteen turns till Sun Tzu's Art of War.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCeltsAtWar.sav

i guess im up. got it and will play tonight.

Preturn - move forces to the front. Why are HIGHLY offensive units defending cities that already have defenders in them. Cube, you had better left those there for me to use.

IT - Bowman movement. I see two!

Turn 1 - gather up elites. Were going fishing! Attack and kill one bowman. Lose 1 hp off an elite gallic.

IT- 2 bowman gang up on elite gallic. Kill one bowman Not to civcube, never leave elites un guarded.

Turn 2 - capture ur at the cost of 1 gallic and 1 redlined gallic. No leader though :(

IT- golden age ends :(

Turn 3 - healing. Spain is in the cross hairs. Babylon makes peace foe monotheism, monarchy, 116, and 23 gpt. (They have 116 and are making 26 gpt) sun tzu due in 19. The only other city building it is copenhagen. It is producing 2 spt and is in disorder :rotfl:

Turn 4 -healing

Turn 5 -turn down lux and science. Sart building FP in blocks forbidden city. Change if you want to

Turn 6 - invention in 14 at +7 im thinking that we need to conquer rome and spain, then go through the top half of MA, while building a mix between infrastructure and horsies. Then BAM no more contient. If we choose to pursue this, DO NOT RESEARCH CHIVALRY!!!!!!!!!!!

Turn 7 -richborough riots. It size 10 and is on flood plains. It can afford an entertainer

Turn 8 -moving units to rally point.

Turn 9 -more moving

Turn 10 -yet even more movements

Pretty good turn. When the peace treaty expires, I would renegotiate the treaty as we will be fighting by then rome :hammer: give my idea some serious thought. I have never tried it, but in theory it should work. Atm we have 13 spearmen, 1 warrior, 1 archer, 7 pikes, 6 gallics, and 7 MDI, with many more to come. Try to to keep gallics as they will kill units much faster. What I would do is break the force up into two prongs: the MDI head for the capitol and the gallics take the farther away less guraded cities

and the save...

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCelts_AD670.SAV

Got it, wow this went around fast, I guess being three players helps that.

Will report later.

BewareofGnomes<------ JUST PLAYED
Antonius Block<--------- PLAYING
CivCube <---------ON DECK

Well, that and i have no life :P

670 AD, continued…
Preturn decisions: upgrade spearman at Entremont to pikeman. Change Augustodorum midevil infantry to worker available next turn. Upgrade Lugdunum spearman to pikeman. I’ll let the Medieval infantry build stand here but I’m not a big fan of that unit.
I woke the giant force sitting on Spain’s border. These guys must be there for a reason… maybe an invasion of Spain is in order? I’m prompted to return to the thread and study up. Gnomes is saying we can help ourselves to more territory…This force moves into Spain and I up the entertainment levels because I know the blood and feathers will soon be flying. Change build in Asher to a temple- it will be ready in two turns and I think it’s the right thing to do. Upgrade Richborough spearmen to pikemen and send the Elite swordsmen there to the Spanish front. Upgrade BFC spearman to pikeman. Change pikeman build in Ninevah to temple build, ready in 3, same thing in Akkad, Ur courthouse changed to temple. Upgrade spearmen in Ninevah and Georgovia. Also Camolodunum and Seville. All of these cities set to build Midevil infantry- were they started for swordsmen? ME really aren’t the long term solution to our warmaking problems. I’m tempted to switch them all to horsemen and pay later to upgrade them to nights. In fact, that’s what I do in Cam, Seville, Geogovia, and Verulamium. These first four horsemen will be the at the forefront of our Apocalypse-to-be.

We declare war on Spain.

Turn 1 680 AD
I turn off the preference to always build previously built unit- it gets confusing. Therefore in Augustodorum where we just got a worker, I’m getting another worker, we can keep building them from here until the land gets improved/FP is build. Richborough builds a medieval infantry, next up is a horseman. Verulaminum horseman to horseman.

Gallic Swordsman goes elite killing Madrid first guard.
Elite Gallic Swordsman kills Madrid second guard.
Third Swordsman takes Madrid. First build gonna be pikeman. One resister. All forces march towards next Spanish city- we can eliminate them before a culture flip.

I think for a second front I’ll send the horsemen to eliminate the last Babylonian stronghold…

Ashur Temple>barracks. Can’t stop the pesky unit rebuild, won’t try anymore.
Lugdunum medieval infantry>horseman.

Turn 2 690 AD
Nineveh temple will changed to settler, coming out next turn; this will move towards India on the side of the lake there. Ah warlord level. A cake walk.

Barcelona is ours, no civilian casualties. More troops move north towards the last Spanish city we need to liberate.
Nineveh Settler>pikeman

Akkad Temple>barracks.

Turn 3 700 AD
Toledo is ours, the Spanish are gone, and most Gallic Swordsmen are elite.
Those dang Medeival Infantry never make it in time for the fight!
I’ll line this army up at Rome for the next player to try and harvest great leaders.

They likee, build palace top.

Turn 4710 AD
Horseman advances into Ellipi to find- nobody home! We walk in and have the city. That’s two peoples gone in two turns. Bully for us.

Camulodumum horseman>library started; don’t know if we will ever want or need libraries, but you can switch this to whatever unit you think we need.

Turn 5720 AD
Eboracum built on other side of the mountain from Stavanger. Our eventual front is here, I think we can kill the Romans with the North army so I’m moving all south units and new units to this new city for the next player to have a crack at the Indians or Vikings.
The mountain overlooking Rome will be the north army’s assembly point.
Ur temple>barracks.
Ashur barracks>pikeman.
Verulaminum horseman>horseman
Augustodorum worker>galley (this would be the place to try to shoot out and find more continents from, but you can change this build as you will).

Turn 6730 AD
Repositioning.

Turn 7740 AD
Repositioning.
Entremont Medieval infantry>library.
Lugdunum horseman>library.
Seville horseman>library.
Georgovia horseman>library.

Turn 8750 AD
Forces are assembled and itching for new orders. I’ve got too much blood on my hands, going to leave these battles for CivCube.
Invention learned, gunpowder is next.

Turn 9760 AD
Starting a second force clump near Veii, that way they are available for quick support.
Madrid Pikeman>temple.


Turn 10770 AD
The armies are in place. North army should take Rome first, worry about the limbs second. South army you may want to reposition but I think a healthy serving of about 5 viking cities is possible within 20 turns’ time.

Good luck.

The save:

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCelts770_AD.SAV

good turn. i thought by having a SoD like that would give you a hint ;) the main reason is for leaderfishing, as we have SOOOOO many elites. next is rome. i would suggest takking rome with MDI and have gallics go along th flanks. also, read turn 3 of my report and tell me what you think.

Ouch I guess I should have kept Babylon as a client state... it was just too tempting.

yes, but what about the no knights?

Wow, two civs in two turns. :eek:

Save received!

Shall we?

~ 780 AD

Ur - Barracks > Worker
Verulamium - Horseman > Settler
Agedincum - Temple > Pikeman
Send Verulamium Horseman to Viking territory.

Now for some dirty work...send MI to Stavenger, along with the
Four Horsemen of the Apocralypse (just finished Sourcery).

The Northern Company are on their way to Rome.

~ 790 AD

"Your recent movement of troops into our territory constitutes a declaration
of war against Rome. Send them home immediately or know that YOU will be held
responsible for the conflict!"

Oh, but Caesar...I am home. And I believe that you're trespassing. Prepare to die.

Ah, and Scandinavia's a little peeved as well. Very well, you may die too; you
deserve it for inventing lutefisk!

PRIME MINISTER, WE HAVE COMPLETED SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR IN ALESIA. > Horseman

Ashur - Pikeman > Worker

Stavenger is asked politely to go over to our side. Famine gets a little bit more
hungry from mortal wounds, but Stavenger finally falls. On to Reykjavik...

Now for our kith, now for our kin, now for our forefathers, now to FIGHT!!
Caesar, the Crazy Celts have now sworn that you shall be defeated! CHAAAARGE!!!!

The battle rages for some time. Two of our gallant swordsmen are swept up by the
Angels of War and are sent to live in eternal paradise. May their families be
blessed. And for the Crazy Celts' Northern Company, who take Rome!

~ 800 AD

Richborough - Horseman > Pikeman

@beware of gnomes-

Why no knights? I don't get it. We're way ahead. Even if we decide not to build knights, one day I assume we'll need cavalry if we haven't won before that.

well thats the ting. whats the victory condotion? also, if its continents, we cant win so soon. i just want to try mass horde upgrade, and now would be a good time for it.

Victory condition is, "we just win".

But on warlord, even with continents, it is a matter of airport/transport for the cavalry to win. Against musketeers, most likely...

right, and thats what i mean. we dont *have* te get knights. if we do a mass horse uprgade to caalvary we will be unstoppable

Sorry about the victory conditions. I didn't take into account that Conquest is nearly impossible if Domination's also on. :(

How about we raze some cities? Sure, our reputation will go in the toilet, but still... *pauses thoughtfully*

I don't care whether its conquest or domination. A domination victory is really a conquest victory without all the micromanagement.

got it, will play tonight.

ok, we got a great leader, but im not sure what to do with him. ill stop until i get some feedback.

What wonders are available? If none, consider if we need a palace move. If not, time to build an army so we can write the Heroic epic of the Celts, the Tain bo Culaigne...

http://www.fjiordlands.org/carlnfrd/cuchufr.htm

none are available, so where should i move the capitol? or build te heroic epic.

Get the army, I'd say. Not sure if we have good army material out there but I'd make it an army of horsemen or swordsmen for moveability. Remember, we need only one kill with it to get the Heroic epic.

Preturn - activate elite gallics. Attack and kill unfortified archer and take 1 dmg. No leader

IT - Roman archer retreats our horsy

Turn 1 - take cumae at the loss of 1 mdi. Our victory produces GNOME KILLER deciding what to do with him. Getting ready to make a gallic army

Turn 2 - build army

Turn 3 -get peace from vikings for 14 gold and 14 gpt

Turn 4 -notta

Turn 5 - victory for the army, alesia switched to HE, due in 8

Turn 6 -whew!! Capture last roman city with 1 HP LEFT IN ARMY!!!!

Turn 7 - suicide galley lost :(

Turn 8 - notta

Turn 9 -notta

Turn 10 -and, you guessed it NOTTA

and the save...

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCelts_AD970.SAV

Hooray! Heroic Epic in the house!!

Good turn. I assume we are still missing Lord Mongoose (hope he is okay) so I will say "Got it" and post results later tonight.

i think its cube's turn, but if you can post tonight, i dont think that it will matter as it is nothing but buildup. after my :weed: stall, this game is moving EXTREMELY fast. the only one ive seen move fater are open games

Unless you and cube switched turns, it is my turn!!!

oh, too late. my bad.

Actually, CivCube can take the next turn. I opened the save and I have to raise some complaints, bewareofgnomes. (Btw congratulations on breaking the 300 post barrier, you could make a gnomes avatar...). Please try and take these as constructive criticism for improving game play, but they are also about how to be involved in a Succession game...

Taking over the game from you is very difficult, because you put every single non-worker unit on fortify/sleep. So I had to go around to every city and wake them all up- there was even, inexplicably, a settler asleep in Verulaminum. It takes ten minutes to figure out who is where, let alone why- - this is warlord level, so we really don't need three defenders in every city.

The next problem is workers. Why do you spread them out singly and throw them into jungle clearing and mining? IIRC, you once said it was "so you could ignore them". We have so many workers, we could clear two jungle squares per turn if we had to- but there is so much more that needs to be done, we have unconnected cities from our conquests that probably could have been connected during your turn. If I were to play true to my style, I'd need to ask my advisor to stop all those workers from their 36 turn jungle clearing and slowly move them into packs, as I've done a couple turns now and am too tired to do again.

A word about builds: every city was building 1) a defender if it didn't have one, 2) a marketplace, or 3) a courthouse. Toledo, a city stuck at size 2, was going to flounder for 30 turns building a couthouse. Why? You could peel workers out of there and irrigate it so it grows. I had forgotten, when you asked about the Leader, that we needed to finish the Forbidden palace that would help alot more than the courthouses. As for the defenders, we don't need to build more when he have 3 or 4 defenders in our core cities who will never be reached by attackers.

Finally, your turn report- those "Notta" (the word, from Spanish, is actually "nada" meaning nothing) are hiding alot of build sequences, worker/troop movement etc. or they should be. In fact you probably put all the workers on long term tasks, put all the other units to sleep, set the builds to long term projects and really did let nothing happen during those turns.

To me, it isn't fun to go through all this, and not really worth my effort to turn all that nothing back into something. I've played in the position after you in a couple of SGs now and I've seen this pattern before.

CivCube, you can take a look at the save and see if I'm off base on this. I just don't have massive amounts of time to work through this warlord game, which ought to be a simple romp, but is being unnecessarily complicated.

I don't want to be mean or jerky, I really hope it doesn't offend you guys, I just don't have the energy to take all those workers back out of the jungle...

uhh, what workers in towns? i never fortified workers in towns. i never even built a settler. also it gooes faster if you clear lots of jungle at the same time. im sorry if you dont agree with my playing style. i always build a defensvie unit in newly conquered cities then switch to courthouses. i know this probably isn't the best way to do things, but cant you just change a production to worker? like i said it was late last noght and the turn report wasnt very in depth. i could have just summed it up and said started lots of marketplaces, defense, and couthouses. or i guess i could just go through every single city, pushing the time it takes to play the game to over half of my night, that way you can critisize me even more about my sometimes bonehead decisions. jesus man, get your panties out of a bunch.

you know what block, i decided to be your little ***** and unfortify all of 1 WORKER AND 1 SETTLER i stopped all uf the jungle clearing unless it was going to be done in 5 turns. you can get off your lazy ass and change the build quese and i expect a turn report for EVERYTHING YOU BUILT


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/CrazyCelts_AD9701.SAV

Okay I wasn't trying to turn this into a negativity festival; I probably shoulnd't have ranted so much last night. I always list everything I build in my turn reports (unless the game tricks me by building the same unit over while I don't watch).

The worker and settler fortified were indeed the wierdest but why is the army fortified? Maybe it is a difference in play style but if you were playing this by yourself would you really put those military units to sleep in those cities? Personally I only ever put one defender (okay, two in the capital and border cities) to sleep because otherwise I'd forget about them forever. Horsemen never sleep! :)

Okay, I will take up the new save and go through it and note the changes. There are a lot of cases where defenders will become temples (pikeman and temple have same build time) in the newly taken cities, a few cities will build workers, and I'm just not sure what to do about the courthouses, which will not be necessary once Forbidden Palace is done. We can also build the military academy somewhere and Leonardo's workshop is available.

Sorry I really don't want to make you mad or get confrontational, it was late last night that I opened the save and fell into deep despair...

thats ok, i understand. i always defensive units fortified in cities. i was letting the army heal as it had *1* hp left. sorry if i responed a little uhh angry. did i mention im not a morning person ;) no hard feelings, except be warned to to critisize me in the morning or late at night ;)

Ooh. :blush:

About the workers and fortified Settler...my bad. :blush:
No need to argue about my boneheadness, as what is there to argue? :p

block, i love your avatars. where do you get them? i would love to find a gnome one.

I usually just go to google, switch to image search, and type in what I'm looking for (last two: Colin Powell, Gay Hitler). Then I move the image to my desktop and use a program (microsoft picture publishing for me) to edit them down to the 65 x65 pixel limit. Here's one a search for gnomes turned up:

aarrgghh!! you cant edit pictures in paint! oh well. no avatar for BoG. unless i can do it in school

This evening when I have time I will size it down for you, then you can link from the post- is this picture okay? I think it is the most amusing of the gnome shots I saw...

yes, i like the picture. no rush about cropping it. thanks alot!

Here's the resized gnomes...

thank you very much

civcube, you are up

*wakes up quickly*

What-?! Where's the aliens?! Yyach, I need some caffeine.

*glug glug*

Ahhh, there we go. And got the save. :D

You know what, I think we're good the at the size that we are. Unless anyone wants otherwise,
the new tech goal is Magnetism.

A certain Ragnar Lodbrok is pretty mad with us, so I trade our World Map with the Vikings
for theirs and one Gold. He remains furious.

good turn, wasnt really expecting a war, but oh well. glad to have you back. Is this a continent map? we havent met any other civs, and prolly should have been sending suicide galleys. or, we can just kill our rep since they wont know about it.

I vote the latter- dominate this continent entirely, quickly, and then see where we are at in the world order.

civcube, isnt it your turn?

Sorry, I've been so busy I haven't had time to play. :(

10 gpt and 170 gold! Gandhi is now merely annoyed.

Whoops, overstayed my turn. Saved!

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/afteralongtime.sav

If I am next, we are unfortunately due for a nother long pause as I am on vacation without access to Civ until June 12th. Good turn though CivCube, and good on you for keeping this one going.

ill grab it sometime this weekend

*prods the SG back up with a hoe*

Not to be impatient, but have you managed to play, bewareofgnomes?

i can play tomorrow or tonight. GOTM is startin :)

Ahhhhh yes, Game of the Month. Maybe I should get in on that. Good luck to you on Deity. :)

im not crazy tho. im going conquerer.

Only have time for 5 turns

Preturn - analyze the situation

Turn 1 -make peace. Our military sucks

Turn 2 -worker movements

Turn 3 -worker movements

Turn 4 -we need to contact egypt (one of the advanced nation deals) so I set research toward magnetism

Turn 5 -spent a long time changing worker management mistakes. This is just constructive criticism. If a town is size 12, don’t irrigate anyting. Mine it instead. *never* irrigate bonus grassland. Don’t improv upon things that arent in a city radius. Don’t mine game. Near civcubes happy city, a grassland is irrigated while a game is mined? Don’t take this the wrong way. In order to play on emporer +, you need to take advantage of every advantage you have over the ai. One of the biggest ones is worker actions. I am telling you this, because I used to to do worse then this. Im sorry if I came off harsh sounding.

and the save...

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/1330AD.SAV

Think I'll do five turns as well.

~ 1335 AD

Bergen is in need of an Aqueduct. They're pretty close to Temple though, so
I let them finish that first.

Ditto.

Aaaaaand that's about it. The save:

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/crazycelts1355ad.sav

I am back from vacation at last. I "got it" and will try to play some turns in the next 48 hours. Why 48 hours? That's still faster turnaround than this game has been seeing... ;)

Glad to see you're back, Sultan. :goodjob: Indeed, we need to get this game some caffeine or something.

Did you ever finish that save, Sultan? :o

What game is this? :P

Ah, well, it's probably too late now. :p

My baby.... :(

Does anyone else feel Crazy enough to pick up?
