5020 Years of Greatness: A Babylon OCC in RFC DoC

don't you mean i should punish you

If any of you guys are wondering when my next update is, I am on vacation, so my update schedule might be kind of erratic for the next two weeks due to the amount of pictures I uploaded. That being said, today is a do-nothing day, so I think I'll be able to update today.

you should build up an army and burn every city in the area to the ground

Why stop with the area? THE WORLD (or at least Afro-Eurasia) IS THE LIMIT!

i gotta a better idea, burn every city in the world, and THEN fly to alpha centauri and burn all the cities on there

Sorry that I didn't update at all over the past two weeks. I was on vacation, and using ImageShack on an iPad is downright painful.

But, as famous composers say, I'm Bach!

Chapter 7: the Grand Canal

A tech trade was made where Chandragupta gooped up Machinery in exchange for many different technologies.


Babylonians stared at their slowly increasing tech rates as several Monasteries were built (get it?). However, Ashur was plagued with a horrible disease known as "listeningtowaytoomanypunsitis".


While he was just and righteous, Hammurabi didn't think that Justinian deserved the Apostolic Palace seat.


Babylonian scientists sailed through the easy technology researching.


As part of attempts to search for Calendar, Research became a huge priority for Ashur.


Uh-oh...


Babylonian scouts met Wang Kon of the gory kingdom of Goryeo, or Korea. Open Borders and tech trades were made and encoded in Hammurabi's new laws.




I like money, too.


Already faced with war from the extremely powerful Arabians, Justinian declared war on Babylon for no justified reason.


Babylonian scouts met the Tibetans. Hammurabi bet that due to China's early death, Tibet wouldn't be a vassal of India for most of its existence.



Hammurabi's scientists discovered the Calendar in 710 AD, prompting a new research path. Work finally begun on the Grand Canal!




Due to good finances, the Babylonian military had enough money to upgrade Bowmen to more pious Crossbowmen.


After an extremely eventful war, peace was made with Arabia.



Surprisingly enough, Babylon was 8th on the list of Most Powerful Civilizations.


The one thing that gave Hammurabi nightmares was the gigantic mob of Horse Archers on the border, waiting for the Great Wall to become obsolete or some weak unit to wander out. Over in Korea, Horse Archers murdered all of the Babylonian scouts there.



And finally, the Grand Canal was completed. The Babylonian economy skyrocketed.



Until next time, may you not catch listeningtowaytoomanypunsitis.

Oh, I've already got a fevah, and the only prescription, is moar story!

alas, i already have listeningtowaytoomanypunsitis

All those HAs will flip to the Seljuks. Who start at war with you. And who have Babylon as their only target city.

I don't think they actually flipped.

Weird, where did they go then? It's possible the Seljuks don't have a flipping area though.

Subscribe'd!

Chapter 8: Discoveries and Diplomacy

We start off our update with a gem of a discovery, as Babylonian miners discovered some gems right outside of Ashur.


A fair and just peace treaty had just been made with Justinian at that time as well.



In service to the state, Babylonian scientists and bureaucrats invented a new Civil Service system, prompting absolute reform. Look at how much research has increased.




Hammurabi sent out a lone scout to India, wondering if he would somehow evade the fifty billion barbarians on the way there.


In several civil agreements, the secrets of Civil Service were traded away for other technologies.



Babylonian scientists were paid to discover Paper. The general research path took a slight detour as Hammurabi wanted to build a great library, one greater than a regular library.



The Babylonian peasants seemed to be really rebellious for several decades.


After panning out the various building options, Hammurabi decided to build a massive Parthenon to the gods.

i have a question, how will you get most of the national wonders if you only have one city?

He only can get two NW max. That's how to deal with OCC without being a real OCC. A real OCC would require the game option to be included via notepad while editing the scenario. And the real advantage of an OCC means 5 Nat Wonders plus the fact you don't need X number of certain buildings to unlock stuff. For instance, the Oxford needs multiple universities to unlock it, but impossible with forced OCC while if he unlocked that option, he would be able to get it at some point. Same for CERN wonder; he won't ever get it.

You need to add:

Option=GAMEOPTION_ONE_CITY_CHALLENGE

As for me, I play with Option=GAMEOPTION_LOCK_MODS.

@Random Player

How are you gonna deal the Seljuks? I feel the persistence in getting more and more wonders at such critical time may hurt you. You survived, I know, you hinted it at some point, but I'm curious. No levies (no Feudalism), no pikemen, no longbows (no Guild), etc. Seljuks are weak on attacking while on defensive, they get their bonuses.

pfft seljuks smeljuks, they only took one of my cities and i wasn't even prepared, mr.random has nothing to worry about

You'll see...

Aww...come on. People sure are taciturn here. Anyways, Mr Random, please, for your next OCC game, put that option in the scenario. This will immesely help ya. The fact you can't get Oxford is quite a blow because many OCC games consider both CS and Oxford are critical moments.

Taciturn? Tachy, you haven't even commented on my new stories yet.

The Seljuqs are cunning creatures, as trexeric has shown us. Then comes the Turks and then the Mongols. What will you do? Whip out a bunch of soldiers?

that's what i did, i just whipped and whipped and whipped my slaves all day long!

I will... SURVIVE!!!!!!!

Seriously, just wait a day or two. It wasn't that hard for me.

I should probably change that in the program files, but I had ridiculous science throughout the entire game without CERN. Both CERN and Opera House are amazing, but not necessary.

Also, in DoC, each city gets 3 National Wonders instead of 2, I think.
