Turnplay Log

[Bede]

Warrior trained and sent SW. Worker in the corn. Third warrior in queue to finish in 5 with growth in 4, corn ready for picking in 4, so in 4 turns swap out to settler with 1 turn left on the warrior. Bubba still healing and staring down the big scaredy cat in the northern arm.

In other news the score leader has jumped ahead and the rest of the pack are getting close. We seem to be a little behind in the grab.

There is a wolf in the vineyards!

T30

Worker working, Bubba staring down the lion, second warrior on a hill SW trying to curry favor with the Big Bad Wolf

Turn 31

We researched the wheel (I was going to add the screen shot for dramatic effect, but the wheel just isn't that dramatic )!!! Started on AniWifery.

London pops in 1 turn, and the warrior in 2. As for our scouts, Bubba killed yet another lion IBT, and is resting under the glow of a promotion in a shady forest at 0.7HP. Warrior 2 (really needs a name!) I assume fought the wolf, as he is on 0.9HP, he is sitting on a hill just outside the border.

 

[Kickbooti]

In keeping with the genere, I propose "Scooter" as the name for Warrior Two. My wife is from Arkansas so I am well qualified to assign red-neck names.

 

[Butterball]

How about:
Billy Joe
Billy Bob
etc.
BB

 

[Kickbooti]

Also...

Scooter
Slim
Bobby Ray
Jethro
Sue (a boy of course)
and the unconventional but appropriate,
Skynard

 

[Sweetacshon]

Our first corn crops came in at London!! Nothing much to report - Bubba still asleep in the trees, Skynard moving slowly west, and should find something in the fog next turn, although both are injured and should probably rest . London pops... well have to change prodn to settler (will take around 10 turns) before next turn, start roading up throuh the corn to the hill, and mine it.

 

[Oldbus]

Turn 33:

Bubba & Skynard rested.
Worker started building a road amongst the corn.

 

[Oldbus]

Turn 34 (2640 BC):

New warrior (Billy Bob) produced. He is heading north towards the tribal village hut.
Bubba and Skynard are both healing from their wounds.

The consensus seemed to be that we should start building a settler, so I did that.

We are 6 turns from Animal Husbandry.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Turn 35 - 2560BC

There is nothing new to show. Bubba is fit and Skynyrd is about 3 turns off - both rested. Billy Bob poped the hut and they promoted him 5/2. Settler in 6, AH in 4, and the worker began mining.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Turn 36 2520BC
Again, not much doing. Bubba is off exploring again, and found some fish (forgot s/s). Skynyrd resting, spys a lion.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Turn 38 2480BC (yes it is turn 38, I did the numbers wrong previously, sorry)

It feels like I've been talking to myself for a week. Is anyone still here?

Bubba continues to the NE, nothing new there. Billy Bob is heading back to London for settler escort. Skynard was feeling cavalier:

Here are our intrepid warriors:

London will be unhappy soon, we might have to address that, a warrior garrison should do for the moment.

 

[Kickbooti]

Speaking for myself, I am awed into speechlessness by the superior turnplay you regularly produce...

As for unhappiness, how quickly did we expect a popluation increase after the settler? If I remember correctly we were building a warrior afterwards, will that build preceed the peasant's revolt?

 

[Sweetacshon]

Awwww

We're getting a fair bit of food in, so pretty soon, but the warrior should just about match it, I estimate. Although we could probably use another worker... just a thought. Anyway, it's someone else's problem, because I'm off for a week to visit my new cousin I expect the Pyramids to be built when I get back

Have a good week, all.

 

[Whomp]

Turn 39 2440 BC (?)
Skynard gets a woodsman promo and moves west to a forest.
Billy Bob continues home. Why is the capital called London? Shouldn't it be Piffledon?
Bubba continues east. Nada
Shift our settler build from a grass forest to a newly mined hill.

The demographics.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Turn 40 2400BC

We were playing around with the pigs out to the west, getting drunk and partying, and out of the debauchery came the miracle of life. Some thought it was disgusting, and swore off bacon for the rest of their lives, but most claimed that science was meant to be fun, and called it Animal Husbandry.

In other news... umm... not much. Skynyrd's hiding from a wolf in the forest, Bubba's exploring NE (not a bad spot for a commerce isthmus city out there), and Billy Bob's still at home in bed. The settler's still 3 turns away, and the worker is roading the mine.

 

[Oldbus]

Turn 41 2360 BC

We have completed Animal Husbandry.
Much to the delight of Billy Bob, who's always wanted a pony, horses have been discovered to the south (1E7S of London).
Pottery came up in the research queue (it appears that hunting then archery are next up).

Skynard is still resting.
Bubba moved 1 square to the NE and spied jungle in the distance.

There are 2 turns until we complete the settler.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Nope, I think that those techs were the ones I clicked on to show how many turns each would take for the last screen shot. We need to decide whats up next. See Internal Affairs.

 

[Sweetacshon]

Turn 42 2320BC

All's quiet on the wetern front. And the southern, and western, and northern. Even the lions have taken a break. Bubba is continuing NE up the land bridge, and has found ivory in the jungle there. Skynyrd is healing, and Billy Bob is waiting in London. The worker is road building to the new site, thru the wheat - two birds with one stone. Pottery 5 turns, settler 1 turn
Too boring for screenies.

 

[Kickbooti]

How 'bout a screenie of the Isthumus so we can start debating commercial cities? I'm at work, without CIV, throw me a frikin' bone here...
