More Epic Than Cavemen, Cosmos, and the Gods: A C2C DI

Welcome to my second DI, this time using the epic C2C mod! I am playing on Continents, on Warlord difficulty and a Huge world with 20 civs.

TEH RULES:

I.Thou shalt announce your intentions.
--(Be sure to "got it" so we don't run into continuim errors. We reserve the right to ignore not announced updates)

II. Thou shalt not Intervene if you were the last deity to intervene, and thou shalt only intervene once per waking
--(You may only intervene once per my update, and you must wait for another God to intervene before intervening again.)

III. Thou shalt not reveal the secrets of knowledge or the heavens to mortals.
--(No units or techs should be revealed to any civilization if they are not in the current or previous era of the player)

IV. Thou shalt not use your powers for cataclysmic destruction
--(Remember, less is more. Be subtle. It is far more interesting for everyone if you make subtle, interesting changes like forming a choke with mountains than if you just tear giant swathes of ice through my cities. I reserve the right to reject saves I think are unnecessarily apocalyptic.)

V. Thou shalt reveal yourself to the mortal with grace.
--(Everyone loves a good story, and if you decide to contribute to it, be creative! Choose a name and domain [i.e., Winston, the Sea God] that you govern, even if the characters don't know it's you acting)

VI. Thou shalt not be vindictive, and thou shalt not halt progress.
--(You are not allowed to strip techs away from me. Anything I research is mine permanently. You are also not allowed to remove any named unit, for any reason.)

VII. Thou shalt not be unnecessarily nice to the puny mortal.
--(I do not need a stack of thirty Level 9 Praetorians to win my fights. You do not need to fill my BFC with flood-plain grassland goldmine hills next to rivers. The only exception to this is if you genuinely make me work my ass off to get it, and even then it not ought to be as good as the dream city outlined above.)

VIII. Thou shalt reward him for piety, and thou shalt offer him redemption for his punishments.
--(If you give me a quest and I succeed, reward me! If it was easy don't give me a big bonus, and if it was hard I am going to be miffed if I get another Great Prophet for all my hard work. Likewise, if you punish me, tell me how I can fix it!)

IX. Thou shalt not war with the other gods. Much.
--(Obviously there's going to be some strife between those who would support my Quest, and those who would seek to oppose him. Having said that, Gods are not allowed to reverse the effects of an intervention without waiting for the update after the effects have been felt. This includes quests. In fact, you would do well to leave the other god's quests alone entirely. If you want me to do yours instead, make it more interesting or more lucritive)

X. Thou shalt obey the natural order of things, and of time, and of destiny.
--(There is a storyline going on here. Do try and fit in. Do not take great lengths to completely detract from it. Be smart.)

XI. Thou shalt not abuse your architectural omniscient nature.
--(Don't add wonders that don't already exist.)

Do not sign up to be a god if you aren't familiar with C2C.

There can be up to 10 gods now, and you have 48 hours to edit the save. Here it is!

I feel fail now, didn't upload the story. TAKING DOWN THE SAVE
Sadly, I don't have time to write the story until tomorrow. Feel free to sign up, but don't do anything story-related until AFTER the first update.

I would,but the only C2C experience I have is Volkyra's C2C story...

my laptop can't handle C2C so I can't sign up

My COMPUTER can't handle C2C

My computer can handle C2C in the prehistoric era on huge. But can it handle medieval era C2C with 20 civs? Hmm..
Still, I might join up - can always quit in mid-game.

I'm sure I'll kill a few civs by Medieval.

Anyone actually want to sign up?

Heh, I doubt you'll get many gods when using C2C

Well, anyway, I'll join this. God name will come when the story or first screenshots are up

I shall be Hon Goshnu, god of Fertility, the Ocean, and the winds.

The first chapter will come up when my "homework" time is over and I can access the computer with my pics.

We start in a small clearing in a lot of forest. C2C tends to generate a lot of those.

Me: Sit down! You'll magically turn into buildings!
The People: Huh?
Me: I SAID SIT DOWN AND FOUND EPICOPOLIS!!!! :whip:
*The People sit down*

Here's an example of the Customized World mod. It generates some weird names.

I have no idea how a Gatherer can be a great person.

I've gone to 3 tribal huts, and every one of them gave me gold. I'm rich, though... $$$$$$

Yay, I get a free horse!
Little Girls: Ooh, a pony!
Me: Go away, you're too young for me.

A map. Yay. *kills tribe*

Free experience? WHO CARES ABOUT FREE STABILITY? GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME

I seem to get this event a lot. I wonder what happens if I lose and only have 1 pop...

I won... and lost?
Here come the nethandernals.

I decide to make a civic change to Oral Tradition and Native Language.
STOP GRUNTING AND START TALKING!

Here's the known world. I notice that I haven't met any other civ... is anyone out there?

So with 20 AI opponents, I'm sure there is always one AI I can use

How terribly, terribly ironic that you got that quote on your very first GP.

You said the magic word that summons me .



Princess Celestia, Supreme Ruler of Equestria & Sun Goddess joins the fray.
She has two primary objectives and one hidden one that will come up later:
-Learn the value of friendship.
-Protect all of ponykind.


First DI, this is going to be fun.
I guess I'll be downloading C2C just for this.

Got save.

'I am Strilodonus, god of Mountains. Go and conquer them, my dear friends. Search the lands of Montagnia, far off in the ocean, and settle it on the spot I marked, and you will be rewarded.' MoreEpicThanYou heard when he was standing on a hill.
'Fine' he thought, 'then I'll have to do that.'
Quest: settle the land of Montagnia on the grassland hill marked with a marker. You need an ocean-worthy ship to reach it.

Got the Save

Nevermind, gotta leave early.

I do not have C2C, but I wanna participate! (Note: I will rarely give a quest)

Eric the Tormented, God of Wolves, Treachery, and Betrayal.

A man in a long black robe and hood entered METY's palace.
"Who are you?" asked METY. "How did you get past the guards?"
"I am Eric the Tormented, minor god of ideas," answered the man, clearly leaving something out. "I got in using my wits. And invisibility. But mostly wits."
"Why are you here?" asked METY.
"My master sent me," explained Eric, "on a mission. However, I was the one who wanted you to do this."
"Do what?"
"Make friends with any other civilized nation you come across."
"Why would I do that?"
"It will all make sense in good time."
"Huh? Who IS your master?"
"Remember, you must trust to be betrayed."
Eric the Tormented disappeared.

Quest:
Make good friends with whoever you met first.

Who wants to be my master? All they have to do is something like if I say "add a mountain here" then they will do that. (We'll work something out in PMs soon enough).

I'm willing to be your master. Except I can only mess around with the save on Fridays.

And...I'm waiting till I can view the save to make my god...which will be on Friday

I will join as a god, called Zero, the masked enigma. I will only be able to edit when I am at My pc though
