I played (not very well of course but
)
Some important things in my turn:
Changed our tax thing to 2.7.1
Traded Horseback Riding and 14 gold from Russians with
Philosophy and Territory map
Researched Literature -> Polytheism
Stuttgart founded
Bonn Founded
I think that's all

No. Ville was the last person who played, and Grimjack was before that. My turn, sorry.
I'll get it done fairly quickly.
bewareofgnomes, can you give some direction to us?
Build 5 swords, beat up the Russ/french a little?
Build libraries, outtech everyone?
Anything else? Since you can read the board, I'll post screenshots.

LOL!!! I spend 10 minutes compiling a post with a screenie from the end of Ville's turn, and was about to play from that.
*deletes roster*
Pretty well played, it seems. But why is the FP in Koingsberg?
Edit: BLEEP! Wrote that(above) before Grimjack's post after my picture. I had just read the lengthy report. I was going to do exactly the same as you (change temples to libraries, but not in Kberg).
Edit your lengthy report back in, I'll play from there to save time, and Ville can go after me.

Ville, do you want to play now? Technically, it's either your or my turn (depends on played last/ turn counting) and you have priority.
I am confused.

Just a moment. Grimjack cancelled his report, that makes it my turn.
Grimjack -> Ville -> Erik and BOG is out.

build up those swords and take them out. they are both building, or where, building wonders. theoretically, this would leave their military lacking. i have about 10 mins every day to check the boards so i have not gone away by any means.
I quote from the first post.
Varients -
May not *invade* a country with aim o destroy or severly dipple until infantry or panzers (cant decide). You can have border skirmeshes and take a few border towns, but no going close to their core. I am also thinking about Making Germany industrious, to compensate for no war. This is just a thought though. feedback would be great!
I would say we have enough lands now to go full out builder/techie so that we get Panzers and can roll over them.
I used Konigsberg for FP because that was the city that could build it the fastest.
I used roster from first page, so I missed that the order had changed.
I would like to say we ought to build up our north.

BoG2, this being an account of the third reign of Erik Mesoy, called "The Literate".
Preturn: Changed Nuremberg, Munich, Heidelburg, and Bonn to libraries. These cities were producing temples, or military units without barracks.
We will need no more settlers after the two being produced.
Turn 1: Lepzig Settler > Library. Konigsberg temple > Library. Frankfurt Library > worker. I catch the GoTo settler up north. I move the warrior into Muchen/Munich as it needs MP.
Turn 2: Forest chopped. Berlin produces settler, starts spear. I send a spear/settler pair from Berlin down to get the southern Incense. MM leipzig to grow this turn. Changed Cologne and Bonn to libraries. 2/3rds of our cities are producing libraries. I turn lux tax off. I put an entertainer in Hamburg - it would have rioted even with lux tax.
Turn 3: Whip the lib in Munchen. MM Berlin for a turn earlier growth.
Turn 4: Munchen Library worker > as it is big and unhappy. Stuttgart Warrior > Worker.
The French are building the Great Lighthouse.
The Persians have *completed* the great lighthouse.
I whip the library in Kønigsberg as it has 19 shields left.
Interturn: We get Polytheism. I use Big Picture -> F4 to sell it at once. Both Russia and France are 3 techs up on us.
I sell Poly to France for Code of Laws, Mapmaking, Worldmap and 44 gold. I then sell it to Russia for Mathematics, Worldmap and 35 gold. Science to 90%, Monarchy in 19, it will take less as we build libraries.
Turn 5: Kønigberg Library > Spear. Frankfurt warrior > worker.
Turn 6: Berlin Spear > Library. Hamburg ditto. MM Leipzig for faster growth.
Interturn: The frogs march a second settler pair near Munich. The russians bring one up there too.
Turn 7: I yell insults at the Russian Galley.
Interturn: The Russian Galley lands a settler and a spear up north. I can't stop them founding.
Turn 8: Frankfurt Worker > Courthouse. Whip the library in Cologne. Slazburg founded to get more Insense. Whip the library in Nurnberg.
Interturn: Russia wants a wmap trade. I get 10 gold.
Turn 9: Kønigsberg spear > worker, Nurnberg Library > Harbor, Cologne Library > Worker, Bremen Library > Harbor.
Up north I found Fischen Villen Dortmund. Yes, my German is abominable.
Turn 10: The russians keep moving their settler! Kønigsberg worker > spear. Brandenburg founded up north. The russians complete the GL. I whip the library in Heidelburg. MM Berlin for faster growth.
Interturn: With Brandenburg founded, 4 settler pairs turn around.
Turn 11: Leipzig riots. Oops. Heidelburg library > temple. France is ahead of us by Construction, and will nto sell it for 30 gpt. I tell to leave our territory.
Turn 12: Berlin library > spear, Leipzig library >barracks.
Turn 13: Troop shuffling.
Turn 14: Kønigsberg spear > spear. Munchen worker > worker.
Turn 15: Berlin spear > spear. Stuttgart worker > library. Hurry library in Hannover. 250 BC.
Turn 16: Hannover Library > Worker. I note that France is up by Currecny and Construction, Russia has neither. 3 turns to Monarchy.
Turn 17: Kønigsberg spear > spear.
Turn 18: Berlin spear > spear. Hurry libraries in Hamburg and Bonn.
Interturn: Iron and Horses connected.
Turn 19: Monarchy comes in. I order a revolt. I stop all the riots before they start. Hamburg library > temple. Bonn library > harbor. We have drawn 4 turns of Anarchy.
Turn 20: Køln grows and riots. The next leader can sell Monarchy. We can not get both Currency and Construction, but we can get one of them, 114 gold, and a luxury from Russia.
And here are the keys to the throne.
I suggest putting the FP in Heidel or Hamburg, then moving the Palace to the other one.

just one question, why monarch when we are trying to get to infantry *ASAP* a great turn, but im just curious as to why monarch
Erik Mesoy
Core Tester / Intern
I assume you meant Monarchy?
1. Monarchy and Republic have equal corruption, Mon has no WW.
2. Monarchy has 3 MP, I would prefer that to raising lux civ-wide in Republic.
3. Monarchy was quead up when I got the game passed to me.
I suppose the name given by Jack the Grim was appropiate... I whipped 8 times on my turn. I prefer Erik the Literate, though.
This is doing great!
