Berserks01 - Space Monkies

:lol: Certainly crossed my mind.
I haven't seen this map before, but if you and Rex think it fits the bill then we can use it certainly.

Lucky, you're welcome to join. It may seem challenging ... but trust me, you can't really tell if it is or not til you try it ... or something like that. Just let me know and I'll add u to the roster.
 
Just use the rotqm3 map, there's a whole banana island.

Regarding war, if the spirit of this game is to go to space, we probably don't want much warring. Just enough to give us breathing room. Otherwise, it's yet another military game where we scored a non-military victory (YAMGWWSANMV).
Well, we certainly will want to war to stop an AI from building those parts before us wouldn't we? Huh? Or are you thinking we can just throw some banana peel at them and hope they slip on it instead?

The map is shown in this post.

Has the biggest banana of any Civ IV map ever. Probably not suitable but a good laugh still.

What map type do you want, how many bananas minimum on the map, what difficulty? I'll generate a map tonight. You've got at least four now so should be ready for a start.

So, I am not welcome!? :gripe: Fine! Ignore me with your Monkie business!! See if I care! :mad:
 
OK, I rolled up a start.

Pangea, tropical, normal speed, random opponents.

This is the first start I generated, checked in worldbuilder that there were bananas near your start and enough overall for you. I was prepared to add 1 or two if there wasn't but didn't have to change a thing on the pangea.



If you want it here it is.

Welcome, Negyvenketto.

So, I am not welcome!? :gripe: Fine! Ignore me with your Monkie business!! See if I care! :mad:
Fox, you're not only welcome, you're the prime monkey. You get to decide our entire monkey tribe's future from your very first move.

And it looks like Ozzy is kind enough to post us a start and save. You can start anytime, Fox.

I knew this was going to be fun! I am in. I will be monkey Lucky. Or maybe it's better if I be lucky monkey.

Hey, Fox, I guess no sugar farms for us this time, right? :(
 
lurker's comment:
I think the point berserks is trying to make is you don't have to raze. The rule only says "we can only build city with 3 trees-of-some-kind" (damned tree-hugging monkies!), nothing is stopping the monkies from taking over cities without trees.

true. but as annoying rules-lawyer in the crowd, i'll point out that rule 3 says "For every 2 cities there must be at least one banana". it doesn't have that self-built cities qualifier in there.

really i just wanted to post to tease about the various ways you guys spell monkey/s/ies. and none of you used my favorite, the monkees! i'd name the leader peter tork, but of course i'm an oddball. have fun!

so what did you change off the pangea?
Ozbenno you totally should have added in teensy one tile islands consisting of just an oasis tile with a banana on it, but pretty far off the coast, so that they couldn't get credit for the bananas except by settling on them. why? because you can't build cities on oasis tiles. those bananas would exist merely to taunt these guys! maybe i have a mean streak? *giggle*

 
Damned rules lawyers ...the monkee in me says "rule 1 has priority over rule 3" (there, I used your favourite term monkee ... so quit the lawyering!) But seriously, rule 3 does not stop us from keeping cities without trees ... it only lmits the number of cities we can keep.

Berserks ... :gripe: ... first you ignore my "count me in" without a welcome ... then you ignore my "count me in as a backup player" .... jeez! Since when does a backup player plays the first turnset!!??!!

Next ... WTH is Ben?

It is corrected, of-course.

Now, the scouting Monkie named Jack and Jill when up the hill .... and I debated hard whether to move the settler to that hill .... seems a better site. But then Ben (ah ... sounds familiar?) says we have banana in our BFC ... what the heck. It's only Prince. Let's settle on site.

City renamed Banana One.

The scout (I didn't really named him Jack and Jill ;)) went happily hut-popping:

Then we met Khan ...

monkie-BC3800-Genghis.jpg


Our scout just managed to stay one tile ahead of the mongolia scout to snatch another tribal first contact

which tell us where khan is hiding.

Monkey runs faster than human, so the mongolian is still one step behind us in the next hut:

Monkies, meet Mao.

... and more gold ...

Monkies, meet Caesar.

Is that Banana salad?

I fully intended to stop at 20 turns, but decided to go one turn more to reveal copper.

Oosh, fortunately I didn't move the settler in the beginning ... this cyan dot seems like a fine city location.

Notes on a Banana Skin for Next Monkie

- I didn't revolt to slavery, you may want to do so before hitting enter

- I selected polythesim, which obviously could be changed. But since we are going to do this relatively peacefully, think grabbing a religion would be good.

- I am farming the spices. True, we don't have sugar farms, but we can farm Spice Girls. Calendar is like 3000 years away, so might as well make use of the +2 commerce from a river spice in the mean time.

>>> Save on a Banana Skin <<<
 
That's some odd banana skin you've given me, and we haven't learned Writing yet. Let's see if I can make something out of these figures you've inscribed on that obviously rotten banana you just ate.

nice attempt to dodge! rule 3 isn't about trees, it's about bananas! "3. For every 2 cities there must be at least one banana" you lost me about the "limits the number of cities you can keep". you are thinking you can only have a total of 2 cities per banana, regardless of who settled the cities? if there are 5 bananas on the map, you can only ever have 10 cities? "yes, we have no spare bananas, we must raze this city today." sort of thing? ooooh boy! ps thank you for the monkee part!

signed, rules lawyer who obviously reads rules liberally when doing so works in her favor. things like "Edit: People I like/played with before have priority, and monky business welcome and embraced". that last part might just apply to the roster, i'm reading it as applying to the whole thread *giggle*
 
Code Monkey by Johnathan Coulton

Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
With boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very dilligent
But his output stink
His code not "functional" or "elegant"
What do Code Monkey think?
Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write god damned login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you

Who's up?
 
so what did you change off the pangea?

:mischief:

The young chimps always loved it when grampa told them stories before bed-time and they especially loved it when he told them the story of "The Curse of Banana Island:"

"At the edge of the world there is an island. It is no ordinary island but an island of the thickest jungle. Looking at the island from afar, can be seen more bananas than you can poke a stick at. Many a monkey has landed on the island but none have ever returned. Some say it is haunted by strange machines from the future, others say they can hear weird music drift across the waves but whatever the case, it is certain death to land on the island."
 
Could Rex be our official roster updater, please?

Very well...
