BLA1 - Mystical Monarch

Well I haven't done any certain things, like building settlers/army, moving workers, exploring...

Preturn (2150 BC)
no changes... it's good for me.

Turn 1 (2110 BC)
Irrigation completed at Shanghai, the workers starts working on another cattle. Contact with the Vikings, they had an exploring warrior in the NE jungle.
Trading time (you said that...) :)
Mysticism <--> Bronze Working and 35 gold (all) Scandinavia
Iron Working <--> Mysticism and Masonry --> Aztecs
We have spotted iron in the jungle near the farther gem! :D

Turn 2 (2070 BC)
Beijing: Warrior --> Settler
The warrior stays as MP, the archer goes west (the Celts are there!)

Turn 3 (2030 BC)
Archers arricves at Shanghai.

Turn 4 (1990 BC)
Settler at position...boring turns...

Turn 5 (1950 BC)
Canton founded, starts warrior.

Turn 6 (1910 BC)
Beijing: Settler --> Settler (the settler factory is working very well)
Set with War goes to the river delta...
Gems connected, luxury set down 10°%, and we have +1 gpt! :) Hurray!

Turn 7 (1870 BC)
nothing... :sleep:

Turn 8 (1830 BC)
Settler at position...

Turn 9 (1790 BC)
Shanghai: temple (I dont know exactly why do we need that but I didn't change it) --> Archer
Nanking founded --> warrior

Turn 10 (1750 BC)
Beijing settler --> settler, I leave him there.
Canton: warrior--> worker
Each civ has tech, we can broker them easily, next player's job... :) Polytheism due in 14 with 0gpt.

Summary: We have 2 very good city, and will make lots of them. Shanghai will grow beyond size 6, if we dont change to a settler...
Military is good, Celts are easy prey for us.
Expanding... I cant understand, It seems that we have only 1 exploring warriors... Why? :hmm:
Otherwise, our empire is growing very well, and that's great! :band:

A screenie with the newly founded cities...

The SAVE
 
Good turns but we need to change a few things... need to build a granary in Shanghai instead of regular archers. Don't know why we even were building that archer. If anything should be building that archer should be Canton. May want to switch that worker to a baracks. Celts to left of me, Aztecs to the right... here I am stuck in the middle with you.:p Lets all pray we have no Germany near. Just remember to get Shanghai going! It's more then powerful enough to make a settler and a spear every 6, if not 5 turns. We have to be careful about the things like this or else we won't make it to the middle ages. Great trading though...:)

That iron should be our next city site.;) And we need to do a bit more exploring.
 
Remember the downtime this weekend, guys.

2. SolarKnight
3. Blasphemous
4. Vizurok -- found some iron.
5. Smellincoffee -- get the iron
6. bigchief -- use the iron
7. SesnOfWthr

Also, why don't we have a granary in Shanghai yet? If we want that to be our settler factory, it's gonna need one. I would say change that archer to a settler, go for granary, and start spewing cities.

@alerum68 -- I have indeed been reading the posts, but I'm not even up yet, so I'll guess you're not talking to me.

Edit: Do we know if the Celts have iron yet? If not, we should do everything we can to make sure it stays that way. If so, we may want to consider a surgical strike to take it out. Those Gallic swords can be a real pain in the a$$.
 
Oh, look, I'm up!

Goals: Get iron. Get Shanghai a granary.

Got it! I will endeavor to do my turns (and get it uploaded for the next player to download) before we do the upgrade, so the next player can play during the downtime..
 
Well, as I have said before, I didnt know why were we building Temple there, because it cant be a prebuild (We had pottery!)

I think the Celts dont get any iron in their life.

PS: I hate this downtime... :mad:
 
I think we need to get into gear right now and simply remove the Celts from the map. We can not wait for them to get their Gallic Swordsmen!
 
Wow, two replies in the ten minutes it took me to play. I'll say one thing for this SG, we're an active bunch. :D
------------------------------------------
| -- Save -- |

In Brief: We met the Americans, who are smarter than us. We have another city, and it has iron, but it's in the middle of the jungle so we'll need a heap of workers to make it it into a good city.

Inherited Turn:

Good grief, we only know three of the most agressive civs in the game. Let me guess, the Germans and Mongols are on the other side of the fog...

Switched Shanghai over to granary. I remove a warrior from Shanghai to go fortify on our iron. Check the city, no problems with civil disorder. I hate to say it - I love the Aztecs so - but it looks as if we may be forced to control their cities for them.

Turn 1:

We need more workers- at least one per city, since we're industrious. And we only have one half of a worker per city.

Turn 2:

Celts building Oracle.

Turn 3: Someone burned Ragnar's grits this morning. He yells at us to leave Viking territory. You'll get yours, punk.

Turn 4: There's some iron outside Trondhiem, will be theirs whenever Trondhiem expands its borders.

Turn 5: Settler in Bejing done, set Bejing to spearman. Two Aztec warriors moving in the general direction of Celts. Maybe they'll go to war! AI wars are vastly entertaining.

Turn 6:: Those Aztec warriors are now near Iron Moutain.

Turn 7: Our military is WEAK as compared to the Celts and Aztecs, but average compared to the Vikings. More unwashed thugs in loinclothes, I say! More!

Turn 8: : Nothing much, Shanghai needs a aqueduct. :(

Turn 9:: Settler finally reaches the spot I told him to go to. Shanghai doesn't know whan an aqueduct is, so she starts on an archer, instead. Granary done, for all the good it'll do us. We meet the Americans, who know their ABCs and the Wheel. We have nothing on them. Yep, we're pretty dumb.

Turn 10 : Tsingtao founded.

Next Player[/i]: Workers on that hill outghta be done in three turns, then we need that iron hooked up. Bejing is working on a settler, also due in three, so you should be able to plant a city down somewhere. Have fun!

Suggestion from Lkendter:

Major Forum Upgrade This Weekend

.... the upgrade process is expected to take the whole weekend to complete.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you could PM the player in front of you your e-mail address it may help to keep the game going while the forum is down.
 
Let's just all post our emails and then even if the upgrade gets prolonged somehow we can continue...
msappir@gamer.co.il
 
smellincoffee@yahoo.com

Thanks for passing that along, it's a good idea. :)

Edit: Yeah, good idea. I'll change my email address to the one that already gets spam. :lol:
 
I got the save, am at work, and will play this evening or in the morning. I would rather not post my e-mail in the forums. I get enough spam as it is. I will gladly PM any of my fellow players with it at their request. I doubt my turn will come up again before the forums are back up, and If it is not going down until tomorrow night, I will have posted my turns well before that.
 
Anyone who doesn't want to openly post their address should PM it to the rest of us...
I'll quote what I posted in DGT2 since I'm too darn lazy to write it again...
I suggest we do this:
Each person who plays during downtime emails the file and turnlog to the person next in line. They also give a short account of what went down during the downtime turns before theirs so nothing's too out of the blue.
Is it just me, or have we stumbled upon SGBEM? xD
 
I also have no intention of posting my e-mail on the boards - no offense to you guys, of course. I have already PMed bigchief in the event he cannot get his turns played in time. Alerum68 is welcome to PM or post his e-mail to me so I can get it sent off to him when I'm done.
 
Turn 0 - Shanghai is set up to be a better settler factory than Beijing, but we are building an archer there, and Beijing has a settler fortified and no escort, yet is building another settler. Changed production in Beijing from settler to spear. Changed production in Shanghai from archer to settler.

Turn 1 - Nothing

Turn 2 - We learned Polytheism. Beijing: spear -> spear, Nanking: worker ->barracks, Traded Celts Poly for Alpha, Traded Aztecs Poly for the Wheel, Traded Ragnar Poly for HBR & 46 gold. Ragnar is up writing. Send spear & settler to new home.

Turn 3 - Guess who came to Dinner? A Mongol warrior came up to greet us. Traded Mongols Poly for writing. Switched research to Philo. Maybe we can be the first to get it and get a freebie.

Turn 4 - Shanghai: settler -> settler, Babylon builds Colossus.

Turn 5 - Canton: spear ->worker, Beijing spear ->spear.

Turn 6 - Nothing but some movement by our settlers and exploring warriors.

Turn 7 - Beijing: spear -> worker.

Turn 8 - Shanghai -> settler ->barracks, Founded Xinjian. Beijing: worker -> spear.

Turn 9 - Founded Canton

Turn 10 - Beijing spear -> worker, Canton: worker -> barracks.

Notes: We are even or ahead of everyone in tech. We are now number one in Score, Approval, Population, Land, Income, Productivity, and more. That's the good news. The bad news is there is nowhere else to expand to. I have a settler/spear combo heading for a small gap between us and the Aztecs. We could squeeze one in between Nanking and Canton on the Hill if we want to. If I ever played a game where so many civs were so close to one another, it has been a long time, and I don't remember it. We have a decent ammount of defence but could use some more. Some barracks have been built, and more are being built. Iron is being connected, and we have horses. I think we need to build up horsemen and/or swords, and go get us some more land. If we don't we had better build up some culture or we will loose some of the few cities we have.
