IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE RNGOD
-there must have been something before.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MORTAL?
-well where did the RNGod come from then
I DIDN'T COME FROM ANYWHERE I SIMPLY AM
-that doesn't make any sense
LOOK, I'M TRYING TO TELL A STORY HERE, CAN WE PLEASE GET ON WITH IT. I'M NOT KNOWN FOR MY PATIENCE YOU KNOW
-good thing you're not a doctor then
WHAT
-i said if you're not known for your pat...
NOW WHERE WAS I
OH, YES
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS THE RNGOD. HE SPOKE TO HIS PEOPLE AND GAVE THEM MANY TASKS. SOME WERE COMPLETED AND HE WAS HAPPY OTHERS WERE NOT AND MANY SHUVS AND ZUULS KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO BE ROASTED IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SLOR WHEN THIS HAPPENED
ANY HOOT, DURING THE REIGN OF OZBENNO THE PUNY, I REQUIRED ONE CITY TO BE ACQUIRED DURING 7 OF YOUR MORTAL TURNS. ADDITIONALY, AS I WAS FEELING BENEVOLENT, I REQUIRED OZBENNO TO SLAY 5 OF THE ENEMY.
I DECIDED TO PLAY WITH HIS MIND BY KILLING HIS FIRST TWO ATTACKERS AT ODDS OF OVER 75% BUT THEN DECIDED TO LET HIM KILL THE ENEMY STACK OF 4 UNITS.
I GIVE HIM A GREAT GENERAL TO SHOW OZBENNO I AM PLEASED. HE THEN ATTACHES IT TO A WARRIOR. IDIOT.
HE THEN KILLS HIS FIFTH UNIT, COMPLETING THE TASK I HAD ANNOINTED HIM.
THE CITY OF OTRAR IS RAZED TO THE GROUND ON MY ORDERS, THUS COMPLETING MY TASK FOR THE TRIBE. I AM PLEASED AND PROMOTE MY MINION TO OZBENNO THE WORTHLESS.
HMM, A NEW TASK FOR MY MINIONS, WHAT SHALL IT BE. I THINK I WILL REQUIRE THEM TO LEARN 2 TECHS THAT ENABLE A WONDER OR RELIGION.
ANYWAY, I'M OFF TO PLAY GOLF, I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH OZBENNO THE MILDLY COMPETANT.
At least I can turn caps lock off now
As for our latest goal, options are Engineering (44 turns), Theology (24 turns), Philosophy (31 turns).
We have this fellow lying about, so I think Engineering it is. Excellent, I've blown 2 GPs this turnset already and I've only played 3 turns.
Kublai won't talk yet, so we can't get peace. We're still at -ve gpt at 0%. Luckily CoL came in this turn as well so some whipping of courthouses is about to occur.
The war with Kublai goes on. I stare at Old Sarai for ages trying to decide whether to keep or not. We can't really afford it but horses, rice, cows, dye is too good to give up. We keep it.
[I swear I took a piccie of this]
Engineering is in with 385 turns left, therefore we have 44 turns left. I put us on Philosophy.
We pop a GA in Beijing (must have been really low odds). He will pop Music or we could culture bomb Nanjing. I leave it to others to decide.
The was still goes on (mainly because Kublai still won't talk). I again agonise over this city but keep it as it has 5 resourses.
We meet Mehmed. I notice he doesn't have Music or Drama. Pop goes the GA (that's 3 now) hoping that I can trade it to him. I of course, don't realise he doesn't have Literature either so we can't
However, I notice that Music allows Notre Dame, so we've completed our goal. Of course, I realised that all the time
I've played 10 turns so I'm bailing now.
Next person needs to roll a new tribal objective straight away.
We may want to switch research from Philosophy to Civil Service.
Keep whipping them courthouses.
) ... and it's getting harder to run games with the dropouts and undesirables hanging around (more on them in a sec too). In the end though I was spending too much time with Civ (either playing or here) and there are several other things I've got upcoming I really should concentrate on [Update note: this included scion-creation, which is near fruition!].
You guys need to stop reading/posting on this thread and concentrate on your game!!!
