My first attempt at a succession game -- American Chieftan

Ok bear with me here

American
Chieftan
Standard World Map
7 random opponents ( I had them picked but i accidentally forgot to do it when starting the game

No automating workers (This is a rule in most of these games so there must be a reason for it..dunno what it is though )

All winning conditions enabled
warm temp; wet climate.

I'll go the first 30 turns (since turns are short in the beginning) and then its 20 turns till the end of the game.

whoever posts first, gets the game and they have 36 hours to get it back to us.

K I hope I didn't screw that up too much , I'll be back shortly with the first 30 turns

This sounds about up to my speed (usually play on chieftain). I have been reading this succession game forum for about 3 months, and want to try it out - but I have no idea how to post a saved game. If I can figure it out (shouldn't be too dang difficult), count me in

4000 BC - Washington founded. River in its borders but not on the coast. 3 silk outside borders and 1 inside. We should have them in when the borders expand. Doesn't look like we are on North America. Warrior ordered. Started exploring w/ scout

3950 BC - Scientists researching Bronze Working eta 32. Worker starts first road (bad location in retrospect..shoulda worked on getting road to the silk). Scout moved 1 square NW..nothing

3900 BC - Moved scout another square NW. Nothing

3850 BC - Worker finishes road to...wheat.. . Move him towards the silk. Move scout 1 square North. nothing again

3800 BC - Our worker starts clearing the jungle on the spices. A west movement for the scout. some gold spotted.

3750 BC - Moved scout 1 square NW. Incense spotted aprox. 8 squares NW from Washington. This would be a good spot for the next city.

3700 BC - Moved scout 1 square West. More gold spotted.

3650 BC - Moved scout North 1 square..nothing special

3600 BC - First Warrior built. Ordered a worker -- ETA 5 turns. We will need alot of workers because the immediate area is almost ALL jungle which takes 12 turns with 1 worker to clear. Moved our warrior SE 1 square. Moved our scout North 1 square and spotted another coast.

3550 BC - Moved scout East 2 squares. Nothing. Moved warrior SE 1 square. spotted a whale near the coast. Borders have expanded putting all 4 silks within our border.

3500 BC - Moved Warrior SE again finding nothing. Moved scout 2 squares NE. Spotted Goody Hut!!!

3450 BC - moved warrior 1 square East, following the coast. Nothing. Moved scout 1 square towards goody hut.

3400 BC - Goody Hut empty......what a waste of time. Diamonds spotted near the former goody hut. Worker finished and ordered to the silk square to help clear the jungle. Warrior ordered ETA 10 turns.

3350 BC - Moved warrior North 1. Nothing. Moved scout east 1. Im beginning to think we may be on North America after all. Although it is possible that i just screwed up and we aren't on the world map (god forbid). Only time will tell

3300 BC - Workers will finish clearing the jungle next turn. Warrior goes NE 1 square. Nothing. Scout North 1..nothing as well.

3250 BC - Jungle Cleared, road built to silks. Warrior moved NE 1. Nothing. Scout NW one..nothing either.

3200 BC - Moved scout 2 squares SW. Both workers set to mine where silks are. Warrior moved 1 square NE. Nothing

3150 BC - Warrior moved 1 NE. Nothing. Scout 1 south. Explored already..

3100 BC - Warrior completed in Washington. I fortified him and change production from another warrior to granary. Worker movements... Warrior NE 1. Nothing. Scout South 1. Explored. Science spending upped from 50% to 80%. Cuts Bronze working from 6 to 4 turns. shoulda done that earlier.

3050 BC - Scout 2 west. Explored. Warrior 1 NE finding nothing.

3000 BC - Warrior 1 NE. found more coast. Scout 2 East. We've found another civilization. Judging by the color its either Aztecs or Japanese. History of the world pops ups showing that we are amazingly in 1st place

2950. Move warrior 1 East. Nothing. Move scout NW. Gems are found inside the Dark-Green border.

2900 BC - Move Warrior 1 SE. See Gems. The civ is Aztecs. Trade Monty Masonry for Warrior code and 11 gold. Bronze working discovered. up science to 90% and order Ironworking in 21 turns.

2850 BC - Warrior is on a penninsula. Move scout south to get out of Aztec Borders before Monty gets P'Od.

2800 BC - Got scout out of territory. Turned Warrior 1 NW

2750 BC - Warrior 1 West..explored. Road built to second silk. Scout South 1. Nothing

2710 BC - Scout South 1. Nothing. Workers building mine. Warior NW one. nothing

2670 BC - Warrior NW 1..some gold. Scout South 1..nuttin'. Ironworking dropped to 10 turns.

2630 BC - Scout moved south 1. Nuttin' Worker movements. Warrior NW 1..nothin'

2590 BC - Warrior West 1. Nothing. Workers clearing jungle ETA 6 turns. scout south 1. Discovered another Civ. Judging by its color its either the Iriquois or Indians. Incense is 'just' outside its border.


---well as you've read, I've found alot of nothing. got some incense near us and alot of jungle to clear....probably best to get working on the pyramids soon.

I'm in. Even though i usually don't play chieften anymore i like to play anyways.
I'll download the game since Voltaire can't figure how to upload a saved game.

You have to go to your save game directory, zip it, you need Winzip for that, and then go to easy upload at the bottom of the screen get your save game directory and double click on the saved game.

Sorry guys i can't play. It turns out i'm busy today and i won't get time to play tommorow.

Guess somebody else will have to play.

Sorry about that.

Since there is no list of player it looks like a Open SG to me. By Open I mean anybody who wants to play can annouce their intention then jump straight in and grab the game then post within the next 36 hours.

If I am right then there should be a message annoucing that this is an Open SG and more people will give it a go.

Ok then...THIS IS AN OPEN SG

...anyone? What a success my first open SG is

its been just over 4 hours since you confirmed it was open mate be patient. Its v difficult on here but you ahve to get used to it. Cheiftan isn't the most popular leval of play so you may ahev to wait a day at times but there are plenty of ppl starting up teh agme at teh moment so don't give up yet!

OK, I'll take it for ya

I have to re-boot into Win ME now, since Civ won't work in XP for me But I will be back soon.

Sorry if dates are off, they should be right.

(0)-2590 BC: Started game and got myself accustomed to the surrouding area and current going's on.

(1)-2550 BC: Moved warrior NW and scout E. Nothing important found. Hiawatha offered Ceremonial Burial for Warior Code. Offered counter-proposal and bought Ceremonial Burial for 10 gold (I always buy technologies, never trade).

(2)-2510 BC: Moved scout SE and warrior W, still nothing important. Iron working learned, getting started on Alphabet, 5 turns for that.

(3)-2470 BC: Moved warrior W and scout SE. Hmmm, nope, nothing important.

(4)-2430 BC: Same thing.

(5)-2390 BC: Yet again nothing, at least more of the map is being discovered!

(6)-2350 BC: Moved scout S, workers finished with their tasks among entering the game so I moved them both S towards the capital. Moved warrior E, lot's of undiscovered land is what my goal for him is.

(7)-2310 BC: Washington done with the Granary, getting started on a much needed settler. Started the workers on clearing out the jungle around Washington, don't want our people getting sick! Moved warrior W and scout SW. Scout is directly under one of Hiawatha's cities.

(8)-2270 BC: The Alphabet has been learned, started on the wheel. Will be done in 5 turns then I'll start on Horesback Riding. Noticed we are now losing money, but at only -1 per turn with a total of 73 gold I'm not too worried about it. Scout SW, warrior W.

(9)-2230 BC: Warrior W, scout W. Decided not to go to unexplored territory with warrior, will instead use him as defense when the settler is done.

(10)-2190 BC: Scout SW, moving warrior down S.

(11)-2150 BC: Continued with warrior down S, moved scout NW. I am now going up the west border of whatever city is west of Niagra Falls. I am on desert right now, but there is a cow to the south of me and floodplains directly north.

(12)-2110 BC: Went SW with the scout, I'm now heading towards some mountains. This looks like it would be a great place to settle, to bad it's so far away Wheel is done, now getting started on Horseback Riding. Settler is done now starting on barracks. Washington is gonna need better defense than a regular warrior! Moved settler NW, heading towards a great area. Iron, wheat, and inscense all (potentially) within the boarders within one expansion and two spots of gold very close! Workers done clearing first of jungle, only one spot left. Moved them W to start on that. Wow, busy turn.

(13)-2070 BC: Moved warrior towards settler, moved scout SW. Found a horse, too bad it's so far away. I'm going to start heading back north very soon here.

(14)-2030 BC: Heading scout north now. Moved warrior SE again. Starting the workers on clearing the only bit of jungle left near the main city. Continuing on the settler's journey to the NW.

(15)-1990 BC: OK, settler moved NW, warrior moved E now on top of settler for protection. Continuing N with the scout. Now losing 2 gold per turn.

(16)-1950 BC: Nothing new.

(17)-1910 BC: CRAP! The Aztecs just created a new city almost exactly where I was heading. Luckily they didn't get any of the natural resources so it should be OK. We REALLY need more cities. Continued moving everybody the same direction.

(18)

(19)-1870 BC: Almost where I want to go! I will make it there on my next turn, but won't have time to settle. Next player please build city right there! Other than that, continuing on. Scout found insense.

(20)-1830 BC: Horseback Riding learned, moving on to writing. Looks like we have no horses in our possesion so the new knowledge is next to useless . Moved everybody else their final moves in the same direction as I have been heading. Good luck to the next player!

All in all, ok couple turns there. In case I didn't stress it enough we REALLY need some new cities. We only have one right now when we should really have at least 2 or 3 and preferably 4.

There was an attachment here, now there's not

I'm not playing in this one, but in my Cheiftain Zulu game (which seems to have stalled), we started out on mostly jungle. Try finding plains, or grass immediately, and don't worry about any other civs in the jungle. (Let them clear everything for you).

I'll grab it for a round, just to keep things moving for you.

(0) Preturn: Looked over the territory, agree that we need cities! More settlers! So that will be a priority during my reign. Man, we got a lot of jungle!
(1) 1790 BC: Founded New York - snags 2 iron and an incense!
(2) 1750 BC: Nuts N Honey (a code meaning nothing really happened.)
(3) 1725 BC: Nuts N Honey
(4) 1700 BC: Nuts N Honey
(5) 1675 BC: Nuts N Honey
(6) 1650 BC: Nuts N Honey
(7) 1625 BC: Meet an English scout. Trade Iron Working for Mysticism. Writing discovered. I decide to beeline us to Republic.
(8) 1600 BC: The Olmecs teach us Literature. We establish an embassy with the Aztecs. Not enough gold in our treasury to get any others. I reduce our science spending to 50% - only 9 turns to Philosophy, instead of 6, but gets our treasury back inthe black.
(9) 1575 BC: Montezuma wants to trade us contact for the Germans for Writing and all our treasury (20 gold). I talk him into 20g only.
(10) 1550 BC: Nuts N Honey
(11) 1525 BC: Nuts N Honey
(12) 1500 BC: New settler built, started him north. Rats! Our scout just walked into a barbarian warrior. (He was hidden behind a mountain.) Well, he'll be toast.
(13) 1475 BC: Yep, our scout is no more.
(14) 1450 BC: Start New York building a temple. Butted right up against the Aztexs, it needs some culture!.
(15) 1425 BC: Founded Boston in the jungle north of Washington. I didn't want to get too spread out too soon.
(16) 1400 BC: Nuts N Honey
(17) 1375 BC: Nuts N Honey
(18) 1350 BC: Nuts N Honey
(19) 1325 BC: The people love me so much they planted a manicured lawn in front of my cave, er, palace. Philosophy discovered, started on Code Of Laws.
(20) 1300 BC: Completed road to New York (and its iron!).

There is another settler due in Washington. My plan was to send him north with the warrior or spearman to try to snag the gems in the north peninsula. We are #2 on the histograph, behind the English. But there's still 3 other civs out there we haven't met.

eek, off to quite a rocky start here. Not the way I like to start a game

Anyway, somebody else take it now please. I would take it again, but i don't think that would be fair for me to play twice so close together.

On a side (braging) note, I kicking butt on my own game as the American's I've been able to build battleships since the late 1800's, f-15's recently (early 1900's) and am now working on space flight in the 1930's and I have every single advance from the past ages. My score is more than double that of the next closest civ too! But I don't think I'm going to ever do a huge map again, I still have undiscovered territory! Thank you Ihmotep for introducing me to this game!

THE INFAMOUS POPS WILL LEAD YOUR CIV TO GREATNESS!

THE INFAMOUS POPS HAS COME TO POWER! ALL WILL DIE... Well some of you anyway, but thats not the point... THE INFAMOUS POPS LAUGHS AT THE PUNYNESS OF THE CIVILIZATION! THIS SHALL CHANGE! MUHAHAHAHHA

Pre turn: Ate a rice krispy treat, drank some water, watching a movie called hackers... Good times.

(0) 1300 BC: Whipped some swordsmen into ready condition. I'm obsessed with shinny things, so I'm going to topple the Aztecs and get their gems. THE INFAMOUS POPS requires a Gem filled crown to go with his silky, kingly, sexy, silk robes.

(1) 1275 BC: Building settler in Washington, getting rid of all those people who chose CTP2 over Civ2, Fools! Temple in New York, building in honor of Civ2 and all its wondrous scenarios ... Positioning :soldier:the Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS on the Aztec border. The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS consists of two warriors and two swordsmen. We shall make those Aztecs pay for being on our land before we settled it! Built some roads too.

(2) 1250 BC: Troops movement, peaches and cream. Renamed Washington to POPS.

(3) 1225 BC: The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS is positioned on the borders and ready to move out on the next turn.

(4) 1200 BC: Moved into Aztec territory. Posing as gay pride parade. Didn't work. They were all like "Oh no you ditint just move yo boys inta muh neighborhood!" and I was all like "Step off hoe, you can't compete wit muh moves yo!" It was awesome... So we're at war now.

(5) 1175 BC: BATTLE OF TEOTIHUSOMETHING-

An observer's observetive observation..

The battle lines formed out side the city. The Aztecs had spearmen in tight formations to repel any attacks. They must have been fearful of the Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS as it was four times larger than their small garrison. Drums began rumbling on the side of the Americans. Two large bodies of savage warriors were advancing, behind them, the swordsmen. Apparently the great INFAMOUS POPS was using the warriors to weaken the defenders before he spent his swordsmen. The warriors broke into a wild charge while the swordsmen remained in a steady march. The warriors met the spearmen. The defenders glowing with a love of their city cut down the first wave of warriors with great ferociousness. They weren't so lucky with next body of warriors. The Aztec center broke and the flanks crumbled. The warriors slaughtered them as they tried to flee. The Americans could smell victory, but rushing to aid the spear men were the Aztec Jaguar warriors. The American warriors were ordered back and filtered through the ranks of the steadily approaching swordsmen. Once then had passed the swordsmen charged the Aztecs. The Aztecs were no match for the fury of the Americans. They were cut down easily and routed. The victorious Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS lost control in the city and destroyed it by fire. The battle was won and the American banner was seen on what was once the city of Teotihuacan. THE INFAMOUS POPS had the heads of the fallen enemies placed on pikes around the rubble, and ordered a march towards Tenochtitlan.

(6) 1150 BC: The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS is moving towards Tenochtitlan. Meanwhile, settlers are going for a gem source north of New York. Hey guess I didn't need to start a war over gems in the first place. Oh well, still having fun. Changed POPS to temple.

(7) 1125 BC: A pathetic barbarian raid was stopped by the now elite Boston Spearmen regiment. Aztec warriors attempt to sneak around The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS. Our scouts caught them, battle ensues. Aztecs retreat. Delays the Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS for at least 2 turns. BAH!

(8) 1100 BC: Aztecs caught in the plains of the former Teotihuacan, slaughtered. Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS regrouping.

(9) 1075 BC: Discover code of laws, start researching Republic to appease the people. Apparently THE INFAMOUS POPS iron fist despotism isn't good enough for them. Fine! Aww... I can't stay mad at them... look at those puppy dog eyes... Okay...

(10) 1050 BC: The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS is moving once again, and the settler is under warrior escort to the site of our future new city. Barbarian activity in the area is not to be tolerated. Bump science rate. Road completed to Boston. Made fun of their accents.

(11) 1025 BC: Bah boring turn... Hope we discover computers sometime soon so I can play this game in the game and in the game I won't be bored.

(12) 1000 BC: Elite Boston Spears defeat another Barbarian raid. Build road to more silks. Need more to cover unusually large ass.

(13) 975 BC: The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS is positioning outside Tenochtitlan.

(14) 950 BC: Barbarian camp found and destroyed. No more raids on Boston Muhahaha! The people love me so much they over to build me a real palace instead of the cave. Bah! Now I have to get them a card.

(15) 925 BC: BATTLE OF TENOCHTITLAN-

Two swordsmen, a dog named skip, a Mexican guy named Phil, and a little eight year old girl are poised to strike the city. The defenders, Bob Dole's elite Aztec spearmen, quiver in delight. "Never shall our capital fall they shout!"

Results: First wave of swordsmen destroys 1 spearmen. 2nd wave ineffective. For the first time ever, in SG history of THE INFAMOUS POPS, the attack is forced to retreat and wait for reinforcement. The eight year old girl cried. The dog was eaten by Phil, who sadly choked on it and died. Bad turn for The Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS.

New POPS founded near gem source.

(16) 900 BC: Screw over New York again, switch them to swordmen. POPS builds temple, change to swords men. The New Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS is being assembled.

(17) 875 BC: Great Library started in POPS for the heck of it. The New Grand Army of the American Empire commanded by the Emperor and Savior of the American People, THE INFAMOUS POPS gathering.

(18) 850 BC: Peaches and cream my friend, peaches a cream.

(19) 825 BC: Crap its my 19th turn already. And peaches and cream.

(20) 800 BC: Nothing, troop movement... THE INFAMOUS POPS retires to a life of... playing other SGs.

Kill the Aztecs, come on, you know you want to.


http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads/succession-Amer, 800 BC.zip

I've downloaded the map (grrr, way to go Pop's, don't put spaces in the filename!!! )

I'm installing Civ on XP, I think I know why it wasn't working! So if I don't get back within the next 6 hours, it didn't work and I'm not taking the turn.

(0)-800 BC: Looked around. Yummy, look at all those towns, much better! Gonna continue on in Pop's path by taking towns not building them Also, changed POPS back to Washington

(1)-775 BC: Moved a swordsman, skipped the other two. Built a road, yadda yadda. Will inform you when I get to the action

(2)-750 BC: Donkeys and mules.

(3)-730 BC: Oats and honey. Swordsmen draw nearer...

(4)-710 BC: Milk and crackers.

(5)-690 BC: Yummy, all that food was good. Attack happens next turn. MUAHAHAHA

(6)-670 BC: Coo'. Just looked at Tenochtian. They have one defense there, a vetran spearman. Let's see how he holds up against two vetran and one regular swordsman. It only took one attack, awesome! We now own 5 cities, 2 of which we took over. Started barracks on Tenochtian.

(7)-650 BC: Nuttin, just a barbarion warrior attacking our new city

(8)-630 BC: Got new worker started in the proccess of building a road to New York. Other two almost done connectin Boston to New POPS.

(9)-610 BC: Narpin

(10)-590 BC: Hehe, the Azteks thought they were gonna get they're city back. I stopped them before they even got 1 move out of their remaining city's border

(11)-570 BC: Republic is done, starting on map making. The wonder's could come in handy. Also, switching to a little freindlier government, the people might like it

(12)-550 BC: Ran into a barbarian warrior. Gee, can you guess the outcome? Boston has been struck with disease . I guess we should get a worker in there to clear the jungle. That will be my first priority once we get out of Anarchy.

(13)-530 BC: Marf, nuttin.

(14)-510 BC: Switched to Republic. Now down to -8 income per turn, thanks to our 8 military units . Oh well, it should be made up in increased production. Just in case I decreased science to start making money again. Began attack on their final city. They destroyed one of our Swordsman and took the other one down to 1 HP! We destroyed one of their Spearmen and took the other down to 2 HP (he was vetran).

(15)-490 BC: Noticed their remaining Spearman was back up to full health, decided to retreat our injured Swordsman and bring our healty one up to take his place.

(16)-470 BC: Road from Boston to New POPS is complete! Starting to road to gems Aztecs want peace treaty. I'll give it to them, but only for Map Making, and Aztec Worker, and his World Map. Tried to get money out of the deal to, but he didn't have any to give . Grrr, just found out we've had a worker hiding at Washington this whole time. Sending him up to clear out the jungle at Boston.

(17)-450 BC: Traded maps with Germany, fair deal.

(18)-430 BC: New York has completed a temple. Starting on a worker, we need one of those almost as bad as a settler (pop. there is only 3)! Started work on clearing the jungle.

(19)-410 BC: We've learned Mathematics, starting work on construction. It will be nice to be able to build aquaducts! Road to Gems is complete, this makes the people happy Sending workers down to help with jungle. I'm not gonna make it there in time, somebody will need to finish this.

(20)-390 BC: Well, very boring last turn Nothing of significance
