Ah, the FUN in Fundy. OK, so here’s how this all happened: I decided to basically goof around and play the GOTM 18 as an OCC effort. While I didn’t particularly expect to win per se, I did take some time and formulate a strategy that I thought would at least give me the best shot. Given...

Editorial from the United Fanatica News. January 11, 1907 The Chinese had a saying before they became part of the Fanatica Realm. It said ‘May you live in interesting times’. I’m not sure how many readers out there remember when President Kev and what can be described as the inner core...

With much fanfare and celebration in 1892, President Kev prepares to confer the knightly titles upon those members of the Inner Circle who have given so much to the land. The knighting of citizens is a ceremony derived from the time of the UF Monarchy and at that time was only conferred on...

We have some transports within striking distance of Zululand filled with spies, howies, defense troops and even freight. Looks like there are many cities in Zululand that are in chaos! Also, some of our undefeated navy have been softening up some of the coastal cities. What are some...

Well, we're at 70% taxes and 30% luxuries right now. At 0% science we're getting techs every 12 turns - but it's actually every 1 or 2 thanks to VERY lucrative trading. The 70% in taxes gives us almost 5,000 gold per turn not even considering any trade profit! You can see why I was buying...

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Civ court is now in session. The Honorable Judge Sid presiding! All rise! [Everyone in the courtroom stands] [Judge Sid takes his seat] SID: You may be seated. [Everyone sits] SID: Clerk, please read the charges before this court. CLERK: Be it...

Well, I played a few turns, but I held up as I wanted to ask something of the citizens of United Fanatica. With very a very good cash flow, I've been able to rush build a fair amount of city improvements/units. With even more cash to come in after we study the necessary SS techs and boost...

I want to thank everyone who has put so much time and effort into the game - with suggestions or specific tasks. It has been great. However, I'm still running blind on a few provinces, and I was hoping to run the next batch of turns with full updates. Here's what I think I'll need...

Well, I'm currently running at 50% tax, 20% science and 30% luxuries. Tons of cash, and 2 turns to tech. However, this has been made possible by giving the Mongols our technology - which they are now giving away! Depending on what we do with the Mongols, it will affect our slider. I...

As I'm sure you've read, the Mongols seem to be able to give techs away to the English and the Zulus. I see no contact in the UN information, but I guess I should have remembered if they had contact at some point in the game. Anyway, we have to decide how to handle this. 1. We could...

Part I Next on VH1: Behind the Music: UNITED FANATICA – BAND ON THE WARPATH COMMENTATOR: For centuries, the band United Fanatica was a band in flux. With lead singer and founder Duck of Flanders, UF hit hard on the Billboard top 7 civilizations. Following brief leadership roles by...

OK, I just wanted to be sure where we stand on provinces so we can all get on with the building! :) Here's where I think we are, so please let me know if I'm wrong. You'll see that we may need some volunteers to take up more than one province. Phobos: Now Civ1 Addict Deimos: Was Mr...

Well, Operation Overhorde has concluded. We have a single pet Mongol city of Naples, and we need to discuss the treatment of our pets. 1. What shall we do with the city. It is landlocked, but has a nearby lake. It has ZERO improvements and an alpine troop for defense and a rifleman...

We're almost done with the Romans. How shall we finish them? Ravenna and Byzantium are all that's left. Ravenna is empty so we can take it with a military unit or buy it for 584 gold. Then, Byzantium will have to be taken, and it's on an island to the East. How shall we take this one...

OK, we have some choices here. Right now we are at 40 tax, 30 science, and 30 luxuries. This gives us a profit of 1,227 every turn and techs every 2 turns along with zero elvis. We could go to 60% science which would give us a tech every turn, but would mean a deficit or use of...

Part I1863 Sid: Welcome back Civ fans to the second round of the Civ World Cup. I’m your play-by-play announcer Sid Meier, and we have an exciting match in store for you. IF you recall, the first round was all United Fanatica – those projectile sports playing and at times projectile...

Well, as you've probably seen in my posts of late, I've returned and I see that we are still in the place where we left off. That's cool. I wanted you all to know that I did play the next batch of turns this evening (Sunday), but I've had such a long day getting back that I'm going to hold...

OK, well, it's been a while since I've done one of these, but being involved with the Civ2 Democracy game has given me a new lease on Civ2 in general. So I decided to download the GOTM 16 and try my hand. With very little time, I though I'd do an OCC. I did not have the ability to do a...

A bit strange now as we are in celebration mode. I think we can benefit by even more celebrating, and if someone takes over the turns they should try to tweak some city workers if there are some cities that are not celebrating. Just so you know the effect that it's having (along with SETI)...
