The Chinese are down to one city. After doing that I started building city improvements that help happiness (Courthouses, Marketplaces, etc) while slowly adding to the Spaceship. Many Structurals have been added 2 or 3 components and 1 module.

Right now, we are getting the peace bonus plus the future tech points plus working towards larger Spaceship points.

I have disbanded 95% of our military units since they are no longer needed. 3 stealth fighters are sitting near the last Chinese city, but hopefully we will never have to use them and lose the peace bonus.

Some of the cities are just now getting done with their Improvements and are thus starting to produce freight again.

Our current Science production is just short of getting us one tech per turn. Now that we can deliver some freight we should be able to get back to one per turn (or more?).

Funxus is up.

WTF? where are my fanatics squads?

and my temples? u damn heretics...

and ppl are starving at Berlin Barbfarm, what are u doing in relation to that?

Holywood and Karachi have excess of food, send aid for the ones who realy need it!

ffs, Berlin Barbfarm is starving while u are building a SS module? GIVE ME MY FANATICS!

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

As long as the city doesn't lose any population because of the shortage, I don't care.

 

[Jayne]

I've got a bit more time once a week when I could play some turns if needed.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

However you and funxus want to work it out is fine with me.

 

[HiDeWaY]

i WANT MY TEMPLES AND MY FANATICS!

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Who needs Temples when you have Luxuries? Instead of just making the people content, they make them happy.

 

[funxus]

I don't think there are that many turns left, but if Jayne feels she wants to play it's fine by me. The Queen of ancient times returns and leads her people to final victory...

 

[Jayne]

I won't be able to play until Sunday afternoon, as I've got family coming over tonight for the New Year. Hope that's OK!

 

[HiDeWaY]

well... at least give me my fanatics

 

[Old n Slow]

I think that it will be a fitting finish to see Jayne back in action.

Please convince us. There's no direct need for them, no enemy except the chinese, who are under control anyway. Even if we would need them, the extra 20s for a rifleman probably would be worth it, so we wouldn't have to drop out of Demo.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Here's your Fanatics


That was from a few turns back. Since then they have helped cities build city improvemtns to make them happier.

 

[HiDeWaY]

bah

anyway, i still dont get how the turns work, u move one turn and kill a whole nation and half of another, hows that possible?

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

We have many units. Some units attack some cities, other units attack other cities, we capture said cities.

 

[HiDeWaY]

anyway, this dont seem democratic, u say what will happen and we read it, this sux!

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

The basis of the game has changed quite a bit since our level of participants has dropped to nil. But, the normal process is for the people to give their input and then the President plays the turns and reports on what happened. That's what you see above.

If you have an idea you want to see happen, post about it. However, since it is so near the end of the game, I'm not sure what other options there are in the game.

 

[Jayne]

I'm going to make a start on my turns. All hail the return of Queen Jayne!!

 

[Jayne]

Turns are played! I'll post the write up tomorrow. But just as a teaser - The Curse of the Barbarians has returned!

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

What!? I thouhgt we were past the point where they could show up as sea Barbs and they wasn't any real open terrain that we didn't have troops near that they should have shown up at?
