This is a brief story of a light Civ4 Monarch game as Hatshepsut of Egypt. I used the latest version of Better BTS AI, which is more "vanilla-like" than K-mod. Standard map, 1 more AI than the suggested amount. The Nile Peninsula was a reasonably fertile land, with large natural reserves of...

This was played with K-Mod, Prince level, to avenge my previous Noble defeat as Portugal. Archeologists still debate whether the peoples of the river Thames who built the Stonehedge were Anglo-Saxons or their mysterious predecessors. It is known, however, that the mystical stones played an...

A "history booklet" of an underground Korean resistance school It is said, "know your enemy". Thus, to keep Korean culture and nation alive in these troubling times, and to prepare ourselves for the day when we will gain our independence again, we need to know how our enemy came to be. The...

This is a story of a Civ3 Monarch game, as the English. My own mod that changes some lategame non-mech unit values and changes armies to capacity 1 + a hp bonus, allowing the AI to use them. The ancient Anglo-Saxons arose in the lands of a valley between ranges of rolling hills. Although cold...

In my playthough as Canada, I noticed that often civs ask to give them back their former colonies through Congress, e.g. Britain demanding the Hudson Bay cities back from Canada. I don't think that all colonizing civs should be completely gimped, but it should be toned down a bit. Also, it's...

This is a brief story of my Civ4 Noble game as Rome with K-Mod. K-Mod Noble is quite tough... __________________________________ The ancient Roman empire, in its beginnings, after subduing local Samnite and Etruscan tribes, came into conflict with the more powerful Mongolian nomad confederacy...

This is going to be a brief story of my latest RFC-DoC game as Colombia, latest version with some minor changes. Monarch difficulty, Epic speed. Simon Bolivar revolted against Spaniards, establishing Colombia. But he knew that in the Caribbean and Guyana, the horrible crime of slavery was still...

I've been playing more and more of the very first Civ lately. Despite having quite a few flaws associated with the first title, it's also quite elegant, and, unlike its immediate successor Civ2, surprisingly aesthetically pleasant... so why not to write an AAR about the game where it all began...

This is going to be a story about a game of Civ: BE I played as the Kavithan Protectorate (I purchased BE: RT on a roommate's advice and found it better than other people were saying). You can see the mods I used here (I edited some of them a little, right now I merged most of them in my...

An Indonesian RFC story I finished long ago, but never got around to writing until now. It uses a modified version of RFC DoC 1.10. According to the ancient inscriptions, the empire of Srivijaya was founded by the king Dapunta Hyang Sri Jayanasa, who had embarked on a sacred siddhayatra...

This is an AAR of another Master of Magic game, this time done on latest functional unofficial patch's Hard mode, since my strategy game skills have been diminishing lately. Small amount of land (which results in islands). Smaller images because most of it had been played on a netbook...

This is a brief chronicle of a game of Warlock 2, a flawed, but occasionally enjoyable civ5-like fantasy. Also posted on Steam forums. I was playing as Anna the Benign (Huge, 8 opponents, 4 pocket worlds) in the classic Sandbox mode, intending to win a Defeat the Avatar victory. However, I knew...

Greetings. This story now leaves the alternative histories of RFC-DoC in order to immerse itself in the fancy magical world of old DOS classic Master of Magic, still considered to be unsurpassed by a lot of people when it comes to fantasy 4x games. Like usually with my stories, the game is...

RFC-DoC, my own 1.10 modmod, Monarch, Marathon, Italy. Going for the UHV. By 1168, the cities of Northern Italy had long been subject to the Holy Roman Empire since it conquered the cities of Northern Italy from the Langobards. The Papal State was protected by the Kingdom of France, whereas the...

A new RFC-DoC story. Modified 1.10, slightly harder version of Viceroy, Congo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The people of Mbanza Kongo watched the warriors of King Lukeni lua Nimi parade though the town streets. The procession was lead by the...

Usual storybook style, modified 1.10. Monarch level, Epic speed. The most notable changes in my modification are: Courthouses give +2 stability, instead of just +1. Additional AI weight given to Courthouses. AI at Monarch builds units at 95% of human hammer cost, instead of 110%. They have a...

Disclaimer: this thread is by no means intended as criticism of DoC and Leoreth, just some good fun. OK, we all agree that the DoC civic names are a bit strange. So, let's try to explain the weird combinations and differences. What is Universal Suffrage/Forced Labor Egalitarianism/Forced...

Another one of my stories, RFC-DoC 1.9 with some modifications. Mughals, Epic, Monarch, planning for a Culture Victory. Characters in the story are semi-invented, semi-historical. Also, since I'm big on screenshots, should I place them in spoilers? ----------- Qutub-ud-din, the new Sultan of...

This is a thread for your pet peeves in historical analysis misconceptions, preferrably with examples. 1) Nazi Germany being portrayed as "anti-Western", and Nazism/Fascism being described as an "anti-Western ideology". Stems from confusing "Western" with "modern liberal-democratic", ignores...

Mahala of the Doviello, ErebusContinent, Large, High sea level, 2 AI's more then default, Medium cohesion. My own modmod (can be found in my signature), Monarch, No AI minimum requirements, No Acheron, No Orthus. That's a sucky start. Come on, no food resources? At least, I have the...
