Zenga Turns 1 - 30

4000BC(1)

With desert and flood plain so close and lying on bonus grass consider starting position. Also looks like a bonus or lux resource is peeking out of the fog. Move worker to hill E for a better view. Cow to SE of start, jungle seen to S, forests to E, lots of bonus grass by river. Decide to move settler to rejoin worker on hill E.

Quick check of F10.

3950BC(2)

Carthage founded on hill, start warrior. Worker S to cow.

Research set to Pottery at 100%, due in 10.

3900BC(3)

Worker starts irrigation on cow.

3850BC(4)



3800BC(5)

Worker finishes irrigating, starts road.

3750BC(6)



3700BC(7)

Carthage builds warrior, start worker. Worker finishes road and moves NE to bonus grass next to cow. Warrior moves W.

3650BC(8)

Warrior moves W to hill and sees elephants to his N that would have been in range of original start position. Worker starts mine.

3600BC(9)

Warrior S, climbs mountain for better view.

3550BC(10)

Warrior W to forest.

Research down to 30%, Pottery in 1.


Zenga 3550BC


3500BC(11)

Pottery researched, start The Wheel at 100% (due in 16).

Carthage builds worker, start warrior.

Worker2 goes NE to bonus grass. Worker1 finishes mine and starts road. Warrior W to plains.

3450BC(12)

3300BC(15)

Warrior1 S. Warrior 2 N. Worker2 finishes mine start road.

3250BC(16)

Warrior1 SE. Warrior1 W to mountain, revealing more ivory. Area seems not too bad, especially production wise, so far but not too many extra food resources. Will use worker2 as a pathfinder to the E once the road is finished.

3200BC(17)

Warrior 1 S to coastal mountain. Warrior2 N. Worker1 finishes mine, start road. Worker2 finishes road and moves NE to forest.

3150BC(18)

American scout comes into view near Carthage. Abe is cautious and has Warrior Code (WC) and Bronze Working (BW) but no Alphabet.

Warrior1 SE towards America. Warrior2 E and bumps into a barb worker. Worker1 finishes road and crosses the river to the bonus grass SW of Carthage.

Trade Abe Alphabet for WC and 17g (all he had). With The Wheel due in 4 this can hopefully get us towards a horse army.

3050BC(20)

Warrior1 SE to mountain near America, they have incense. Warrior2 E captures barb worker spotting furs at the same time. Slave worker makes wrong turn SW.


Zenga 3050BC

Move citizen off irrigated shield grass onto Ivory. I did this to slow down pop growth while the Granary nears completion. At current rate, city would become size 4 and the granary would finish at the same time, still making us wait for it to fill up. This way, it will complete, then I can let it grow like crazy.

QSC -C2r TimeLine

4000 – I move my settler one space south to avoid the desert squares in my initial build. The settler moves one space SE and sees cow, to which he will head next turn. The land looks promising, but I feel that the destiny of my people is with the sea. Oh, how I long to see the ocean again.

3950 – Carthage is founded and from the highest rooftop I can see the wonderful ocean, savior of my civilization, to the SE. Set science at 90% - Pottery in 10 turns. Build Warrior.

3900 – Worker irrigating cow square.

3800 – Irrigation complete. Worker building road.

3750 – Warrior completed. He is given instructions by my generals to head west to the top of the mountain and determine if the lands in that direction are suitable for a military factory.

3700 – Worker completes road to cow and heads across river to road and mine bonus square. Warrior sees elephant to the NW of Carthage and sends message back to capital by speeding guinea pig. We are all happy with his discovery.

3650 – Worker building road. Science reduced to 80% - Pottery in 3 turns. Carthage at 2 population.

3600 – Warrior on mountain to WSW sees furs in forest to W.

3550 – Second Warrior built and sent North. Pottery in one turn. Set science to 60%. Worker completes road and starts on mine. Elect to build Settler, but will switch to Granary next turn when Pottery is discovered.

3500 – Discover Pottery, Research Writing – Science set to 80%. My wise men encourage me to place all of my people’s knowledge in a great library which they call the Great Library – how novel.
Warrior 2, heading north, discovers second elephant.

3450 – From mountain top Warrior 2 sees third elephant. Sends word back to capital by carrier pigeon that first settler should head north. The soothsayers and I agree.

3400 – Worker completes mine and heads to bonus square just north of Carthage to road and mine.

3350 – Warrior 1 discovers ocean to the west.

3250 – Luxury slider set to 10% to stop disorder in Carthage. I forgot to anticipate that even though my soothsayers told me the dissident Firaxis was causing trouble in the city center.
From a mountaintop Warrior 1 spots a blue civ. Warrior 2 heading east. Worker building mine.

3200 – Warrior 2 sees barb worker on hilltop. Science slider set to 70%.

3150 – Lincoln contacts Warrior 1 and wants to trade Warrior Code for my Alphabet. But my Warrior is a crafty fellow. He already knows he has a code to follow and so bargains for Bronze Working and 8 gold instead. Lincoln agrees. Now the Spartan Hoplite is available to my people.
Warrior 2 heads north to try and capture the barb worker.

3100 – At this point I am sorely tempted to switch production in Carthage to Barracks and make that my military city. It has good shield production and I don’t see that many other great spots for a shield producing city. The flood plains to the north could be a good location for a city to produce settlers. But in the end I decide to stick to my original plan and make Carthage a settler factory. Wish I had Scouts to explore the territory.
Warrior 2 captures barb worker. Sends him back to Carthage with a message that more ocean and a fertile river delta lie to the east. Worker heads toward elephants to build road to connect to another city.

3050 – Warrior 1 heading east along northerly boundary of American lands.

2950 – Warriors still exploring. Worker completes road and moves onto elephant square. Granary completed and production switched to Settlers. Settler in 4 turns.

2900 – Carthage again goes into unrest. I have to remember to anticipate this!! Set luxuries at 20%. Science still at 70%. Writing in 15 turns. Warrior 2, to east, sees another barb worker. Sets off in pursuit.

2800 – An Iroquois Warrior appears north of Carthage near my Workers. They hail him, give him some beef jerky and bargain for the exchange of knowledge. He wants Alphabet and is willing to give Ceremonial Burial and all his gold (1). My Workers propose Warrior Code instead and he gives it, plus his one gold. They then bargain for the Wheel but he is not rolling in that direction. He finally agrees to give Ceremonial Burial to us for 25 gold. I pat my Workers on the head for a good trade.
Meanwhile, I send an emissary to Lincoln to trade for the Wheel, but he will have none of it.
Worker 2 captures another barb worker. The 2 Workers north of Carthage retreat one square toward capital in order to escape the clutches of the Iroquois Warrior.

2750 – 2 Workers return to road building toward the flood plain. The second captured barb worker is returning to Carthage to build a road to the east for a new city. Warrior 1 returning to Carthage to accompany Settler to flood plains.

2710 – First Settler built in Carthage. Sent to west to secure furs and many bonus squares, and to prevent their seizure by the Americans.

2630 – Warrior 1 heading west to join up with first Settler. Warrior 2 heading north to explore lands around flood plain. Barb Worker building road to east. Luxuries set to 10%.

2590 – 2 other Workers building road to west.

Main idea : I run a "Science Gambit" (TM)
With the great techs neoCarthage gets at the start and seeing that Pottery is so cheap, I deduct that the other civs already have Pottery and I run the risk to not research it but go for the advanced tech of Mathematics, hoping I can trade for the other smaller techs. I will push the gambit even further and go for Currency after that
I will also be generous with Techs in order to speed up the research on our continent.
__________________

4000bc : Move worker on hill to check around, see the Ivory, decide to move Settler on Forest SW to gain 1 Bonus grassland and keep 1 Ivory.

3650bc : scouting West/Southwest Worker now mining 2nd bonus grassland.
3500bc : Warrior -> Settler
3450bc : because of expansion, interesting choice on MM : by using the cow I get the settler in 7 turns and expansion in 7 turns which is perfect.
I decide to road to the cow and will then change the MM once my settler is produced.
3400bc : Warrior 1 reaches coastline.
3350bc : Worker completes road to mined bonus grassland
3250bc : Warrior 1 and 2 are now just going North and South through Mountain paths.
3200bc : Meet American Scout (Cautious), they have Pottery, WC and BW but can not get a 2 for 1 deal, maybe I can wait a bit more since I don't need the granary right now..
Settler now due in 2, Mathematics in 15, worker set to irrigate the cow. I can see a dark green border up north, see the Light blue border of America.
3100bc : Settler produced switch to Rax as prebuild for Granny,
3050bc : worker building road towards East and location of new city, settler also moving east.
ibt : Montezuma makes contact and offers WC for Masonry, let's negotiate something else : what about Masonry + Alphabet for CB, WC, BW + 35 gold (all their money) ?
"our forces outnumber the Aztecs" we only got 2 warriors !!!!!!!! Aztecs are now polite, go to America : Pottery + 17g (all their money) for Alphabet.
America still cautious.
3000bc : switch from Rax to granny
ibt : "Most powerful nations" NeoCarthage ! Aztecs and Americans. Good that our competitors are close by...
2900bc : See my first Barbarian worker ! what the hell are they doing ? can we capture them ? Carthage founded East on river / coast tile.
ibt : Palace extension
2850bc : NeoCarthage grows and granary due in 12 and pop 3 in 5 turns, Math in 6 turns, road to Carthage completed.
2750bc : See a purple border in N/NW. Americans have the Wheel
ibt : Iros make contact want Alphabet + 4g for the Wheel, OK all other civs have Alphabet anyway...
2710bc : Carthage completes Warrior -> Barracks.
2630bc : We capture Barb worker with Carth warrior, Math due in 1 turn, lux set to 10% to avoid riot in NeoCarth next turn and because we will go to min. science next turn.
ibt : Mathematics discovered, Research set to Currency at min level.
2590bc : NeoCarth will grow in 4 and build granny in 4, so I whip it (for 17 shields).
Complete tech parity plus I am up on Mathematics. Can see Horses within Carthage.
As far as the continent is concerned, I just need to check if there is any other civs South of America or North of Iros.

BTW Cracker, is it okay to post screens?
---
Ok, here is my growing empire at 2590. Love that start location

Sure screenies are OK.

Try to crop them slightly and resize them down to 80% etc in order to get the pixel width down to below 800 pixels (preferrably 600) because that works better in the forum lists withouth distorting the right hand margin too much.

I think it is better to use the upload feature and then use the IMG tag to embed images because that gives you lots of flexibility

I messed up naming the saves. Sorry. Will work on getting that straight.

stwils

I can't seem to rename them inside the game. Will try to attach my name somehow on the saves.

Cracker, I am so sorry I messed up. I just forgot to name the game as such when I saved the game, and I can't seem to go back in a rename them. I should have remembered how I did this from the last time I played a QSC.

stwils

I realize the way I have sent my saves is impossible to tell whose they are. I will try to send them as attachments.

stwils 3550bc

and the next:

stwils 3050bc

And the 3rd.

Sorry I fouled things up so. Will not happen again.

stwils,

Don't worry about it; things will get easy for you with time.

The naming convention is just to try an prevent everyone from trying to use the same exact filenames because that might create a nightmare. The key step is for you to rename the save files after they are saved if that is a last resort. You need your name and the game_date_year in the save file name as a minimum in order to keep from accidently overwriting your own files or conflicting with someone elses name.

Good luck,

cracker

Thanks, Cracker, for being so tolerant of my bungling.

So let's see if I get this right. When I save a game (as I am playing) do I need to give it the new name there in the game itself? (You know, stwils_QSC etc. instead of Elizabeth of the English or whatever.) So then when I browse for the upload, it will pick up this name?

How on earth have I forgotten how to do this??

I will say, that as I was playing today, the phone kept ringing, and I saved a lot in order to answer the phone. Then when I went back in, I could not rename the saves.

stwils

Do you know how to rename a file in windows?

I will show the steps briefly:

- Open up the Harddrive you installed the game on, for instance C drive.

- Go to the folder named Program Files , then to the folder Infogram Interactives. Open Civilization III folder, then Saves folder. Now you should have the root saves under a folder named autosave. Rename the saves by clicking directly on the filename twice slowly, dont doublecklick as this will open the file. You want to correct to stwils_QSC_C2r_XXXXBC.sav.

To avoid sweating through the folders you can just look at the name of your old C2r saves and keep the XXXXBC date when you make the save while playing the game.

Hoping to get this save to work:

preturn: date 4000 BC
