Divine Intervention: Rise of the Nile

[Almighty Z]

You are allowed to give out techs, you just aren't allowed to take them away.

What are the rules for Divine Intervention games?

What are the rules for Divine Intervention games?

TEH RULES (ripp'd from DI 2)

I.Thou shalt announce your intentions.
--(Be sure to "got it" so we don't run into continuim errors. We reserve the right to ignore not announced updates)

II. Thou shalt not Intervene if you were the last deity to intervene, and thou shalt only intervene once per waking
--(You may only intervene once per my update, and you must wait for another God to intervene before intervening again.)

III. Thou shalt not reveal the secrets of knowledge or the heavens to mortals.
--(No units or techs should be revealed to any civilization if they are not in the current or previous era of the player)

IV. Thou shalt not use your powers for cataclysmic destruction
--(Remember, less is more. Be subtle. It is far more interesting for everyone if you make subtle, interesting changes like forming a choke with mountains than if you just tear giant swathes of ice through my cities. I reserve the right to reject saves I think are unnecessarily apocalyptic.)

V. Thou shalt reveal yourself to the mortal with grace.
--(Everyone loves a good story, and if you decide to contribute to it, be creative! Choose a name and domain [i.e., Winston, the Sea God] that you govern, even if the characters don't know it's you acting)

VI. Thou shalt not be vindictive, and thou shalt not halt progress.
--(You are not allowed to strip techs away from me. Anything I research is mine permanently. You are also not allowed to remove any named unit, for any reason.)

VII. Thou shalt not be unnecessarily nice to the puny mortal.
--(I do not need a stack of thirty Level 9 Praetorians to win my fights. You do not need to fill my BFC with flood-plain grassland goldmine hills next to rivers. The only exception to this is if you genuinely make me work my ass off to get it, and even then it not ought to be as good as the dream city outlined above.)

VIII. Thou shalt reward him for piety, and thou shalt offer him redemption for his punishments.
--(If you give me a quest and I succeed, reward me! If it was easy don't give me a big bonus, and if it was hard I am going to be miffed if I get another Great Prophet for all my hard work. Likewise, if you punish me, tell me how I can fix it!)

IX. Thou shalt not war with the other gods. Much.
--(Obviously there's going to be some strife between those who would support Brennus's Quest, and those who would seek to oppose him. Having said that, Gods are not allowed to reverse the effects of an intervention without waiting for the update after the effects have been felt. This includes quests. In fact, you would do well to leave the other god's quests alone entirely. If you want me to do yours instead, make it more interesting or more lucritive)

X. Thou shalt obey the natural order of things, and of time, and of destiny.
--(There is a storyline going on here. Do try and fit in. Do not take great lengths to completely detract from it. Be smart.)

XI. Thou shalt not abuse your architectural omniscient nature.
--(Don't add wonders that don't already exist.)

I found this on another thread. Of course, you can make your own rules - in this case, our changes aren't revealed to you.

 

[Almighty Z]

Alright. Playing now.

Next update

The many stones around Thebes were organized into a great shape at the orders of the Queen. She had no idea why she wanted it done, but she did. She then ordered it to be named Stonehenge, for reasons she could not understand.

As the Gods had instucted, Tambyen was built. Where the people who live there came from, no one knows.

Four men and one woman were met, and the people of Egypt feared for their safety. These people were strange, and might be dangerous.

To keep these people out, a wall was built around Egyptian lands.

Shortly before another man arrived.

After many attempts to negotiate control over Jerusalem, Egypt invaded Arabia. The war went well, and at the end of the first battle the Queen felt confident that soon she could control it.
The Gods might have other plans, however...

 

[strijder20]

Strados, god of culture, let his view go over the planet.
He wasn't pleased.
The queen of Egypt, despite his message, decided to build weird walls leading to nothing and arrange stones in a circle instead of building his culture buildings.
She had to be punished.

In former times, when he thought he had the full loyalty of Hatsheput, he simply ignored the squabbling nations spread over the planet.
Now, however, it was time to help another civilization as well, in case Egypt continued worshipping those vile other gods.

So he turned his attention to China.

(Save up soon)

X-posted with strid.

 

[strijder20]

And here is the save :

Changes made :

Not for Z's eyes.

Spoiler :

-Added a spear, an archer and a settler to China.
-Moved Madrid one NE, to prevent her go OCC. Changed that coast plot back to a plain.
-Added some food resources to Mali to make up for his bad start.

(Oh yes, Mosher, it's strijd(er) )

 

[Mosher]

I can never remember your name. Got the save.


Hatsheupset...
It is your destiny, your time; great kingdoms rise as others descend into madness,
The Great Western Power continues to grow, unchecked
Only one can claim its fertile lands for their own.

Quest:

Spoiler :

Sometime before 1600 AD, you must conquer the Inca.

NFAZE

Spoiler :

I think this about covers my changes...

I added tons of cottages (and farms to the inland cities with few food resources), gave cities population, troops, gave all coastal cities Walls + Barracks + Harbor + Aquaduct + Market + Grocer, same to inland cities except the harbor (obviously) plus 1 quecha, 1 archer, and 1 axemen in all cities. Also gave them the monarchy tech. Put two fish + fishing nets in range of Cuzco and 3 fish for Tiwanuku to make them viable cities, flattened some land around Cuzco + made it farms.

 

[inohotep]

little much for the inca?

 

[Tambien]

Just a bit much.... I'm next.

 

[Mosher]

little much for the inca?

Well, I want Inca to become the tech leader.

 

[inohotep]

I will build the Parthenon and Great Library ASAP, but I don't have the technologies I need yet (marathon game speed and all).

And Tambien saw that the Queen had done as he had asked. To reward her he planted seeds inside the boundary of the Great Wall, and great plains, known as "The Tambien Plains" grew out of the desert sand. To help his Patron city he planted wheat near the city. And so the reward was given.

Spoiler NFAZE :

-Changed all desert inside the walls to plains.
-Added 2 wheat inside Tambyen's borders

I have no quest for you at the moment.

 

[Mosher]

I didn't destroy anything, and the Inca can't actually attack any civs without launching a naval invasion... Plus the fact that they have a skeleton military.

 

[inohotep]

still, by the time she gets astronomy....
