Draconian Times - First Warhammer EMP

Well, StevieJay gave us an excellent story with his spanish games, I'm going to try to have as much fun Trying out the Slann in the Warhammer mod.

It's Large, Continents (70%), Roaming barbs
NOrmal, Temperate, 4 billion...EMPEROR!

Here we go!

Here's our start. Dosen't look to bad, lets get playing.

We could be in huge trouble, it's starting to look like we're on an island. I'm hoping not. I want to get the black lib build in Itza, so we can keep up in tec, so we're going towards literature as fast as we can. I hope I can beat the AI. They tend to Ignore it, but i'm really scared of how backwards we must be.

I have explored everywhere, we are indeed on an island, though I should have been certain of that due to the lack of AI units. This is going to be a hard game. I've only been victorious on Emperor one time, that was on C3C and I was on a huge continent full of AI civs to trade with.

You folks feel free to chime in with advice or coments, other wise I'll just keep playing away!

Please keep going. I'm a big fan of WH mod.

V

I diden't mean I'd stop I plan on finishing the game and story. If folks read it and like, i'll probally do another one. My play time is limited, so it'll take a bit o' time, but there's plenty of that in life.

-300 IC : Hiring a few sages nets me lit in 2.

IBT Skelie kills himself on a warrior near Xahutec.

-275 IC : Lit in, Mining due in 5. Quetza starts Shrine. OMG! The Norse City of Olricstaad has completed the Black Library! That city is going to fall! That's awefull. I can't belive how far back I am for them to complete the Lib when I've just gotten the tec to build it. Science set to Sailing, I've got to go find the Norse and plan how to Invade them. It's due in 10. In the mean time, I'm going to wipe out the barbs and try to get my island settled. Start Library in Itza and Xlanhuapec, I don't need any more warriors right this second.

-225 IC : Itza makes Library, starts Trade Goods, extra money will go towards science. Hexoatl starts Shrine.

IBT Spider attacks Xahutec, we defend with a warrior and win, though we're redlined.

Our future on sails and oars...

neat story mate, keep it up!

Glad you're enjoying my struggles! I'm not sure how much of a chance I have, we're WAY back in tec, and i'm not sure if i can catch up. Current plan is to find where the Norse are, establish a beach head, with a settler if there's room, with catapults and a weaker civ if there's not, and try to grab that Black Lib!

Here's a few turns from lunch :

Itza is going to pump out settlers, no since having a city that big if i can't get the Black Lib

IBT spider attacks a spearman protecting a settler in the north east, we win. skelies and spiders from the camp that poped start moving in on Xahutec

-50 IC : Itza finishes settler, starts another. Pahuax finishes Library starts worker. Found Tlaxtlan in the north east, disperse barb camp. It starts on a shrine, there's a kracken just off shore from it. My canoe's are going to have a hard time getting off this island. I've already seen a few more sailing around. I'm hoping that by using coastal city's and the 5 movement points of a canoe, i can get away from the beasts, and perhaps get a settler over to the island that has to be east of Itza, you can barely see a bit o' green over there.

-25 IC : Xlanhuapec makes warrior, starts another. Tlax finishes Library, starts worker. Hexoatl makes CANOE! starts another. There's another barb camp south of Hexoatl, I was moving settlers there, start moving warriors in to take it out. Domestication due in next turn.

Domestication in, mining due in 4. Itza makes Settler, starts another. Xahutec makes Library, starts worker. Imperials complete the Lighthouse of Manaan. We have Cammels and Horses in our boarders. We can't use them, but maby able to trade them for tec, all the human civs want horses, and we've seen Araby is in the game, they like their cammels.

25 IC : Xlahuapec makes worker, starts Brewery. Pahuax makes warrior, starts Harbor.

50 IC : Itza makes Settler, starts warrior. Tlax makes warrior,starts worker. Xahutec makes a worker, starts harbor.

IBT : Skellie dies trying to kill a skink south of Hexoatl

100 IC : Tlax makes a worker starts warrior. Tlanxla makes settler starts another. Load 2 settlers in the canoe and head east. The blue boarders are Sylvania. They're up Mining, Riding, Balistics & Emissaries, and down Mysticismand Pottery. They won't offer me anything good except mining, which i'll get next turn. I'll revisit trading opportunitys then.

150 IC : Itza finishes worker, starts warrior. Tlax makes warrior starts worker. Paying more attention, I have 2 sources of horses, would have liked something I could use. Westerlander city of Halsdorph completes the Moot. Fine, let them have their silly little halflings. It's appropreate anyway, that's where the Halflings live in the Warhammer world. Attack a kracken with a canoe by accident, but win with out a scratch. that's one tough canoe. Red boarders are chaos. Trade Sailing, Literature & Irrigation to Chaos for Smithing, Ballistics, Emissaries and Riding. Sylvania up military training now. Won't trade it. We have no Iron on our Island. Science set to Seigecraft, due in 14. Change Itza to Skink Archer. I'm going to make tons of Catapults when Seigecraft comes in, then tons of Archers with military training and barracks, and go Norse hunting.

175 IC : Tlax makes worker, starts Brewery. Khemri city of Khemri completes the Great Bazaar. They are way ahead of me in Tec, and having a free marketplace in each city will only help them more. They are on my hit list too. Canoe spots pinkish, purple boarders to the west of chaos lands. Found Zlatlan to the south of Hexoatl, on top of the old barb camp. It starts Shrine. Found Xhotl on the western tip of my island, start shrine.

IBT A redlined kracken moves to with in one square of my canoe with the settlers on it.

200 IC : Itza makes Archer, starts Archer. Goblin City of Gunbad finishes Chaos Moon. Guns aren't bad! North canoe finds a 2 tile tundra island. I may as well try to settle it, if I don't, the AI will. It gives more Unit support. Silly pink boarders are Ungols. Give them Irrigation, 56 gold and 2 gpt for Stone Working. Trade Vlad of Sylvania Stone Working and Mysticism for Civil Service and 2 gold. I'm now darn close to parity with these chumps. Sylvania is up Military Tradition and that's it, but I've got literature and pottery on him still. Maby this is doable. Change Itza to settler to grab the useless tundra island.

IBT Ungol Coricle enters my southern sea boarders. That ugly redlined kracken sinks my full strength canoe with 2 settlers in it. UGH! I hate barbarians!

IBT Brown wargally goes by Xahutec, who is that?

325 IC : Tlax finishes Brewery, starts Granary. Hexoatl finishes canoe, starts Library. Xahutec finishes canoe, starts another. Brown war gally is Red Eye Goblins. They're up, my god, almost everything ... Mil Training, Meteoric Iron, Seigecraft, Trade, Construction, you get the picture. Found Huatl on Tundra isle, I'm sure this will be a productive and usefull city for many years to come...not. It starts a harbor. canoe finds a big chunk of land that's unclaimed west of Tundra Isle. Going to try to beat the AI to it, though I be that's where the Ungol boat, and the Red Eye boat are going. Switch Itza to settler just incase.

WW kicks in I guess, Tlaxtlan and Pahuax riot, hire lizardmen mimes to entertain them. Arabyans are building The Witch Hunt. Hope they find one. Goblins are building The Tower of Zharr-Naggrund. Take out 1 spearman outside Waldenhof. Adjust Sliders, Blood Bowl due in 3 now. The stadiums will help with my depressing lack of lux, and the tec is often ignored, so may have trade potential.

Trade Araby Camels & 25 gold for Seafaring and Incense. Trade Ungols Horses for Spices, Blood Bowl and 4 gold. Bump into an Ironclaw boat. They are advanced, but lack blood bowl. Trade them Blood Bowl & Silks for 3 gold and Meteoric Iron. I don't think I'll need any more boats or upgrades for a bit, it's a gamble, but I trade the Ungols Seafaring and Timber for Trade & Iron & Wolves. Don't need the resources, but may as well have them. Change Xlanhuapec to Marketplace. Science set to Gearworks due in 7. Move 3 Saurus and 1 Skink Archer up to striking range of Leicheberg.

IBT nothing from Sylvanians.

660 IC : Tlax makes Skink Warrior, starts Saurus Warrior. Xahutec makes Aqueduct starts Saurus. My people are quite happy with their new Lux. Pop rush Barracks in Waldenhof. We capture Leicheberg With 3 Saurus and 1 Skink Archer, killing a vet spear, 2 reg spears and a reg Longbow. 1 Saurus promotes to 'leet. We get 2 workers also. Leicheberg has a Harbor and Keep. Start on Shrine. Move some reinforcements to Waldenhof. Looks like the Sylvanian military is done for, I'm going to try to wipe them out when we return to battle.
