Wow! This looks like a great starting position! Fresh water, two sugars, and gems! I haven’t even explored yet. At 4000 BC, we settle our capital city, BonBon. We send the worker to work the sugar in our borders. We will road and irrigate on plains, and road and mine on grasslands. We set production to a curragh then a warrior for exploration. Research is set for Bronze Working due in 12 turns.

After a couple turns the curragh is built and we tell it to explore. The worker continues to improve the Sugar. Later, a warrior is made and then we build a barracks.

We find that we share the island with Greece! They have a settler built, and we are making one due in 1 turn. Time to rule the island!

This is the island we are on. Using the warrior, we block greek expansion to the north. I can build 3 more cities!

Turns go by, and cities are built. Buildings are made in the settled cities. Turns out, the greeks haven’t made a second city! BonBon is set to build workers to connect and improve the new cities. When we discover iron working, we will build units to attack and kill the greeks. We and we alone must own this island.

= ( We have no iron in our borders! See?

Oh well. We will be forced to wait for longbowman because of hoplites.
The greeks have expanded!

You can also see the proposed attack plan when we get longbowman. Until then, BonBon creates a stack of 8 archers to upgrade later. Now we wait until we get invention.

At 530 BC, we enter the Middle Ages! Scince is put up to 70% and we beeline for invention.

Groineng expands and we see the tip of land! We will colonize it after the war.


At last! Invention is discovered! We upgrade all of our archers to longbowmen! We research and set research to Monarchy. When we change governments, we will Invade!

Huzzah! We start the war and head for Athens! On the first turn, we are countered by 2 archers. Both die with no casualties for us. 1 Hoplite enters out borders.

On Turn 2, we kill the hoplite with 1 longbowman and he becomes elite. We move the 7 stack next to Athens.

IBT, 1 archer comes and kills the elite longbowman.

On Turn 3, the warrior from Utretch kills the archer and we attack Athens with the bowman! The record is 3 kills and 4 deaths and we don’t take Athens. Crap. Now we have to stop the counter attack. We set 3 cities to build spearman, then they will move to protect Utretch. Then we will muster up some more bowman.

IBT, The greeks kill the 2 surviving bowmen. Darn. Oh well, time to rebuild forces.

Turns go by and forces are built and moved. The Greeks send in no units. Woot!

Spoke too soon. 1 archer is sent, and I kill it with my warrior. Then, they kill the warrior with an archer! They baited me!

Later, another archer comes and I kill it with a longbowman. A spearman goes out to defend it IBT.

The protection pays off! An archer tries and fails to kill the spearman.

300 AD the Greeks ask for peace. I say yes, so now we can colonize that piece of land! Turns out, it is just a jungle infested island. Oh well, will still build Eindhoven there.



Noticing my saves folder has like 20 saves, I start to delete them. Guess whish one I deleted with them? This one. Sorry guys! Well, it was good while it lasted! I’ll start another one, though.

[Sparthage]

That sucks. Though only 20 saves? I have like, 150+ at last count (2 months ago). I also have some on a flash drive that I keep handy.

[KiNGd0M]

150?! The most I've ever had is 39 and that was when I saved every turn!

[Ceoladir]

I have like 15 saves right now.

[barbslinger]

Did you delete the autosave too?

[KiNGd0M]

the game did, I played another game for a while, and that deleted the autosave.
