My coolest currently game at BTS has been finished!
A little pre-game info... After this idiotic incident with Permanent Alliance playing as Ottomans, I've decided to play another game, and take on account my other mistakes.
After many tries - mainly, Domination - I figured out what I have to do more. Heroic Epic - the true national wonder... I forgot it's power, and thusly, I started up another time. After a bit of tomfoolery at the play now screen, I've picked Sitting Bull (Protective/Philosophical). I had no particular plan on how to use this one. Surely I knew I wanted a GP Farm. Protective - well, get it on a spin, I wanted to try something new. And, Sitting Bull... Well, there are many reasons. First, I am a big fan of westerns (though not necessarily those with Indians in them). Second, this: http://www.saber-scorpion.com/lego/comics_wolm2.php - was another reason. I played as Chief Firecloud, the character from this comic. This is sort of a tribute.
I will probably not post it all at the same time. It's getting late, and there are 114 screenshots. I will choose those really mattering.
And so, the history of Firecloud's tribe began here:
Settled in place. There was no reason to move. This spot arose as a powerful scientific pumper - although I needed three farms to support its growth to 20. No problem - there was a lake! And gold - nothing to sneeze at, that's for sure!
Soon spotted a wonderful spot for another city... and neighbors:
Ah, the competitors. Kublai Khan will be the only Civ to be burned down, though I would try early on to make him a friend. Ragnar became a trusted ally. The obsessively twiddling thumb Joao II will be my main rival.
Soon, a settler came out of Cahokia to found maybe the most important city of the great empire - Poverty Point.
Awesome, awesome spot for a production city. It earned me monstrous army, produced most of the spaceship parts, and even some wonders as well (it was my most cultured spot!).
Brave warrior made contact with another neighbor. Gilgamesh would turn out to be a formidable competitor techwise.
And soon, I assigned two scientists to Cahokia, for a Great Scientist. This move made me tech leader for centuries.
This, however, made my most sincere desire to make Khan an ally a ridiculous thought. Mongolians were my direct neighbors, expanding to my territory. No way, Kublai, you're gonna die.
You can't get away in the game without friends. I still didn't decide whom will I support, thus I didn't want to isolate Joao II right now. The time will decide soon that Ragnar will be of the Light Side.
Charlemagne showed up. He will never do anything significant for this game, except somehow leading in Power score (never attacked anyone), and falling backwards in technology, ranting and demanding to stop trading. In other words - a typical AI.
The shot of my blossoming empire. To the east, you can see my GP Farm, Mound City. It will also play a significant role, providing... guess what? Great People! Farming those floodplains and wheat will give extra food for those specialists. Spoofing Transformers: "Philosoph and roll out!" (Yeah, I don't know if there is a word to "order" philosophing...").
I came out with this deal:
Corn for pigs - a good deal I thought, it would boost relations. But it didn't mattered. You'll see. You can also see that Kublai converted to Confucianism that I founded. I would reap quite a shrine income down the road.
Continue on the next post.
