BTW how do you use that map thing? I have it unzipped in my save folder but I don't know what to do with it. The map thing is supposed to tell you how many squares you control or something

What Map thing?

Is this a new utility that I don't know about?

 

[LKendter]

This map thing.

Drop it into your save directory.
Run.
Open file, and you know how close you are.

File: Chinese Succession Game - 1882AD

@Arizona_steve - The game is getting corrupted.
Can you repost as a .zip.

This is the second game to run into the DATA IO unit at 37% with a .sav file.

I will restart a few turns tomorrow if I get a .ZIP.

 

[Arizona_Steve]

Lee, I'm really beginning to think there's something up with your connection to the Internet there. I haven't seen anyone else having problems with the .sav files.

After Sunday's escapades, I had deleted the entire Civ directory, so I didn't have a copy of the .sav on my machine. But I did download the .sav from here and was able to verify that it loads successfully.

Here is a zipped version of the save

 

[LKendter]

I am playing a few over the next couple of days....

 

[LKendter]

Pre-turn - Start upgrading our troops in the colonies.

(1) 1884 AD - FillerTown, FillerCity are formed.
Troop upgrades. Heading ships toward Alaska for possible transport duty.
Recall the large block off troops in Japan.

(2) 1886 AD - Auto-raze Ise (Japan) and Bizen (Japan)
Japan is destroyed as a nation.
Peace with England - phony war is useless.
OK - we can afford a fight somewhere.
Plant a spy in Zululand - he his caught - War with the Zulu [dance].
Less war weariness since they started it.
I missed the France mpp - it is going to really be war happy.
I knew the Iroqoius one was coming.
Our VERY first battle versus the Zulu -

Instant battleship in Africa. I will need to invade Madagascar at some point.

Isipezi (Zulu), Amatikulu (Zulu), Berlin (France) are razed.
Gandasetaigon (Iroq), Kiohero (Iroq), Goigouen (Iroq), Lyons (French) Hamburg (French), Knossos (French), Stuggart (French),
Amienes(French), Delphi (French), New Umfolozi (Zulu) are captured.
We lost a modern armor army attacking Amatikulu
Begin shelling Lyon - Mech inf in a city on a hill - Way to tough to attack.
DuaghterOfFiller, SonOfFiller, YetMoreFiller are formed.

I destroyed alot of Zulu mech inf, but they have plenty left.
I am glad those troops from Japan started landing - I will need them.
Main priority - Dead France, I need to cut the number of fronts.

The French counterattack pretty much fizzles.
The Zulu counterattack does hurt -
Avaris is razed - but it cost them 12+ units to kill 3 mech inf.
What sucks - that was the ONLY city near the Zulu without walls.
I lost several exposed units and a regular tank army.
The Domestic Advisor is fired for suggesting building wealth.
What Iroqoius attack?
Just need 1874 more squares


(3) 1888 AD - Well after seeing this cross my borders...

I know 99% of reinforcemnts to Africa.
Purely hit and run this turn vs. the Zulu - almost 100% dead are Zulu.
My artillery starts pounding the mega-stack.

Dijon (France), Ganogeh (Iroq), Kawauka (Iroq), New Castle (France), Tours (France) is captured.
Our armies are taking a beating - an almost full strength tank army can't kill a mech inf.
I can tell I am on the warpath, despite losing a city - need "just" 1812 more squares.

Zulus just shift direction - will have to move a mass of defenders that way - I won't attack mech inf on a hill.
War Weariness hits hard - hire massive enterainers in the 1/1 colonies - I don't think I ever spent that much time on hiring entertainers.

(4) 1890 AD - Our modern armor gets promoted for killing an impi
Gayagaahe (Iroq), Kente (Iroq), Oka (Iroq), Tyendenaga (Iroq), Chondote (Iroq) are captured.
Bombing the Zulu SoD and Paris.
Several Zulu tanks impale themselves on SteveWasHereAlso - We lost nothing.
Hey I want to lose, let's hold UN votes.

 

[LKendter]

(5) 1892 AD - During the middle of destroying a Zulu SoD (Infantry / Mech Infantry) -

He rushes a transport to continue to build an invasion fleet for Madagascar.
As we continue to destroy the SoD -

Another army is created, along with one just build.
Now, can we find enough units to fill them?

The Zulu SoD is destroyed - most of the Mech inf had retreated, but still kill an obscene number of units. We lost - 1 mod

arm.

Paris (France) is razed - kiss the Great Wall goodbye - though it cost several mod arm.
Still more filler is formed.
New Ispezi (Zulu) was auto-razed empty?
Akwesasne (Iroq), Gewauga (Iroq) are captured.
Khanawake (Iroq) auto-razed.

(6) 1894 AD - A new Zulu SoD appears. Someday I can get offensive?
CornerFiller is formed.
I start attacking another SoD and

Unreal - The SoD are creating a leader Frenzy.
Yet another army - not much else to do with them.
Orleans (France) is razed.
WineFiller is formed.
Centralia (Iroq), Owego (Iroq) are autorazed.
I get a message I always love.

That should help with War Weariness.

Unreal - ANOTHER Zulu SoD.

(7) 1896 AD - How did the ZULU have a stack of Mech Infantry in North America?
Our modern Armor destroyed a Barb camp in NA.
9squarefiller, WhaleFiller are formed.
Raze Marseilles (France).
Here we go again - attacking the SoD and...

I rush another Battleship.
The Zulu try to build Isipezi along our border - autorazed.

As expected - The Zulu capture Akwesasne. I couldn't do much as the Iroqoius had almost NO railnet.

(8) 1898 AD - The Zulu invade Asyut. I probably won't hold the city - but I destroy the BB / Trans that landed the troops

there.
Rheims (France) is razed.
I capture Besancon (France), just size 2 on a island. I actually got to hear a marine go elite.
KeepOnFilling is formed.

As expected, the Zulu capture Asyut - How long to it flips back to us?

(9) 1900 AD - Unreal, I missed 1 settler spot - Greece already claims it.
Chartes (France), Rouen (France), Avigon (France) are razed.
During the assualt on Chartes

DUMB - I should have finished the town before moving leader. No more to next turn.
FishFillerNorth, Fish FIllerSouth, SortaGibralterFiller, FrenchFiller, IceFiller are formed.

I decide to cleanup Greece - shouldn't take very long.
Mycenae (Greek), Sparta (Greek), Ephesus (Greek), Eretica (Greek), Athens (Greek), Thermoplylae (Greek) are captured.
Artemsium (Greek) is auto-razed.

Zulu bombers are still being a pain - but I seem to intercept at least one a turn.

 

[LKendter]

(10) 1902 AD - MoreIceFiller, BorderPushFiller, IronFiller are formed.
Cornith (Greek) is captured.
Recover Akwensasne from the Zulu.
England / Zulu trade embargo ends.
Thats is - 1 Zulu Mech inf attacks BorderPushFiller ?
OK! The Zulu back has been broken.

(11) 1904 AD - The phony war ends - time to assualt the Zulu.
Ibabannago (Zulu) is razed. Guess what we get.

More leader armies not needed. Don't need more ships.
He rushes a temple.
BorderGamesFiller is founded.
I caught some of those annoying Zulu planes on the ground.
Unfolozi (Zulu), Zungiun (Zulu) are razed.

(12) 1906 AD - ForestFiller, AmericaBlockFiller, FishyFiller, BorderGamesFiller, StillStartingFiller are formed.
Argos (greek) are captured.
During the assualt on Munich ...

Of course, we did capture it. The Greeks are out of the game.
Rush another temple.


Summary - I realize a target that I will NOT fight - USA. Our culture rating crushes all players except him. I don't want

to accidently win by culture.

Down to 1235 more squares needed.

Keep rushing temples. How many more turns? Hard to say.
Deforesting America to rush them there.

Fleet by YetMoreFiller is to take Madagascar at some point.



http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads/CSG-1906_AD.zip

 

[LKendter]

OK, the forum is back up.

How about someone playing a few here?

This will be an unheard of domination game with a world map.

Current goal - Take South Africa, invasion of Madagascar, and keep rushing temples where the most bang for the buck....

 

[Dark Sheer]

Ok, I am just done with LK21 so I will take some turns on this one.

 

[LKendter]

Dark Sheer,

How goes this one?

I am in no rush for it back - I just got the laptop back - I can't even test if for another 5 hours till I am back to the hotel.


Another Thought - after invading Madagascar - set the fleet toward the Atlantic - Maybe we can start claiming South Amercia, or invade England.

Chinesse owning London

 

[LKendter]

Dark Sheer,

Repeat of question - How goes this one?

I can't play until at least Friday, no rush. But I would like some clue that something is happening.

 

[Dark Sheer]

1906AD(0) - Pre-turn. China has really grown out of proportion.
1908AD(1) - This spell the end of the Democratic China. China went into Anarchy! Tugela captured. Ngome captured. Swazi captured. Crete founded. Zulu nuke Ngome! Russia & England declare war on Zulu.
1910AD(2) - Hlobane captured. Isandhlwana captured with Newton's University. Zimbabwe captured. Zulu Spaceship destroyed. France declare war on America.
1912AD(3) - Bapedi captured. Intombe captured. Ulundi captured. There is officially nomore Zulu in Africa except off the coast in Madagascar.
1914AD(4) - Now that Zulu is off the mainland, the French navy finally has a taste of the Chinese artillery!
1916AD(5) - The Chinese empire is now a new Monarchy. Chinese imperial troops landed on Madagascar.
1918AD(6) - New Ngome on Madagascar captured.
1920AD(7) - Rennes on Madagascar captured. New Ulundi captured. UN now recognise Madagascar as part of the Chinese empire.
1922AD(8) - China prepare for the colonisation of South America.
1924AD(9) - New Tugela on Iceland captured.
1926AD(10) - Sheer's Outpost founded. Vitebsk captured. Zulu is nomore.
1928AD(11) - New Frontier founded. Apollo Program completed in Beijing.
1934AD(14) - Firework City founded.
1938AD(16) - New World founded as the first official Chinese colony in South America. America destroyed France.
1940AD(17) - Thus end the rule of Dark Sheer.

We need to consider taking out Russia if we want a domination. War with America cannot be avoided for too long as they are build lots of Spaceship parts. I have begin the construction of a few spaceship parts just as a backup plan. We need another 783 tiles for domination.

Here is the savegame.

Chinesse space ship NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I haven't spent all these hours to settle for a space race.

I agree on Russia. I think the attack should have begun turn 11.

I am glad to see the start of South America cities. Every space counts;

I don't know how fast I can complete a round, but I got it. The invasion of Russia will begin during the pre-turn.

 

[LKendter]

(0) 1940 AD - Rush a transport near Madagascar, we have a tank army trapped in the middle over there.
I rush build temples until cash is $1000.

[dance] America is unimpressed by our culture.

Bad news - I failed to make the fleet plan clear. Now stuck with a fleet near South America. Worse, to much military in South America. My goals was to invade England. I don't know if I can reach in time.

Cancel spaceship under contstruction - I didn't fight all this war for a spaceship win

I go threw the very time consuming process of selling all library / university / research lab and cancel those under construction. This gains us nothing toward domination. I use the cash to rush temples for border expansion.

WAR! Victory requires the death of Russia.
Cologne, Kazan, Yaroslavl, Sverdlovsk, Riga, Lugdunum, Kalinin, Yakutsk, Kiev, Sevastopol are captured.
Smolensk, Minsk are RAZED.

We get a great leader - General Tso - instant battle ship near London.
We get a 2nd great leader - Kublai Khan - instant transport near London.

With all of the new Russian territory, 658 more squares needed. Russia owns about 400, will have to squeeze more somewhere. Of course, all those temples rushes will pay on turn 6.

Russian counter-attack is a joke.


(1) 1942 AD - DomiFiller, GameFiller, HillFiller, MoreHillFiller, MoreNewWorld, JustFiller, EvenMoreFiller are formed.
Lutetia, St. Pete, Moscow, Gronzy are captured.
Tblisi is razed.
We destroy the Russian Spaceship - Oh yea, a big threat.
Crossing into Finland.
503 more squares needed.

(2) 1944 AD - Odessa, Bryansk, Krasnoyarsk (by marines!), Vladivostok, Hispalis, Vologda, Batum are captured.
Still rushing temples.
2nd transport heading toward England - Hmmm..., I wonder why?
BITE ME - America declares war.
426 more squares needed.

(3) 1946 AD - The Americans sent several armies across our borders
New Hamburg, Astrakhan, Rostov, Caughnawaga are captured.
WhyItsFiller is formed.
Begin massive airlift to Alaska.

350 more squares needed.
OUCH - Gewauga, Vitebsk are razed by America, the count goes up to end the game.
America kills 2 of our armies.
A Russian Destroyer kills our Battleship - The only for escort to invade Britian.

(4) 1948 AD - Portland, Novogrod, Tiflis, Murmansk are captured.
Russia is kicked off of the continent.
Get some revenge, kill an American army.
Exchange a lot of units vs. America, not sure who won it.
The first 16 artillery sneak between cities to land in Alaska.
Another massive airlift to Alaska - our airlift capacity is getting streched - I can't get troops there fast enough, I suspect I will lose a city or two this turn to America.

Barely a dent - need 326 more squares.

Tyendenga (1 turns from walls, New World are razed by America.
Tyendenga was expensive for America.
America steals more workers, but most are now far from the borders.
Seeing a whole pile of expanding cultural influence.

(5) 1950 AD - ScandFiller, RebuildFiller are formed.
Kill an American rifleman army.
Need "just" 182 more squares.
American throws 3 armies at Akwensasne and razes it.
American adds a spaceship part - SS Statsis chamber

(6) 1951 AD - Additional armies arrive in America from the Alaska shuttle.
Scratch 3 American armies - Akwensasne was a phyric victory for them.
ItsBackFiller is formed.
Return the favor - Oil Springs and Memphis are razed.
Now need 163 tiles - I will have to get a few more border expansion still.


To be continued

 

[LKendter]

1951 AD (Between turn) - American adds SS Cockpit.

1952 AD - ItsStillJustFiller, GrandFiller, EvenMoreHillFiller are formed.
Grand River is RAZED.
Yet another leader - Another instant battleship.
Next just 52 tiles

However, America recaptures Portland.
GACK - Murmansk flips to Russia - WTH? There isn't any nearby Russian city?????????

1953 AD - Why not? I declare war on England.
For daring to flip on us - Murmansk is RAZED.
It was costly, but size 25 Cincinnati is razed. I did kill many American units in the process.
AM1Filler is formed.
Albuquerque is captured.
Need **ZERO** tiles. Should just hit enter.
America recovers Albuquerque I hope that doesn't cost me another turn.

1954 AD - NOPE, a couple of borders expand.
You achieve a domination victory.

[dance][dance]

Score 5,796 - Mao the Magnificent.

Amazing, just amazing: the longest running succession game is finally over! This game was started by das on DECEMBER 11 of last year. Congratulations are in order to those who brought it back from the dead, especially LKendter, donsig, and Dark Sheer. And domination victory on Marla's World Map? After that kind of tedium, you guys deserve a

I am OVERBOOKED for the moment.
I don't think I will open another LK game until LK21 finishes.
Between running the training game LK23 and LOTR3 (emprorer training), it is a bit to much. RealLife(TM) is requiring some of my time.

I haven't even closed my books for January for my 1 person business
