Here goes a little experiment of mine.
I am attempting to give CivFanatics some epic games, like RealmsBeyond. These, however, will be (a little) easier, You just download the save, play the game, and post your results, with some kind of story. Please, dont read people's results before you play, unless you dont plan on posting results yourself.
I'm starting with an easy game, just to get people interested. It is in PTW, for a broader audience, plus I dont like the change in map trading, and communication trades.
So, for GBM-Epic 01 - Shaka the Jealous.
Shaka was a very jealous lord. He wanted it all, he wanted the best of everything. Nothing distressed him more than the thought that somebody had something better than him, that he didn't have the best.
One day, in his (then) glorious hut, with the best thatchings, the best mud-bricks, the best leapord-skin rugs good quality slaves could buy, he thought, "I want the best cities in the world. I will have five great cities that are greater than any other cities in the world. I want the biggest country in the world. Nobody, and I mean nobody, deserves more than me."
On one of his treks to other nations, seeking for things they have which were better than his, he saw these people creating mountains of stone, as tombs for their pharohs. Shaka was not to put up with this. Storming into the pharoh's palace, he said "I will give you 20,000 slaves if you give me those mountains of stone!"
The Pharoh promptly laughed. "You will never own my Pyramids. You dont deserve them. Only I will get the best tombs, you are but a savage, who deserves to die in a dirty ditch, to be forgotten forever."
Shaka remembered those words. "One day, I will own every tomb, every great monument of man. All these shrines of human acheivement will be mine." It was at those words that Shaka began his journey.
Rules
VICTORY - to win, you must:
A) Own, via conquering or building, all five of the top five cities.
B) Have the largest nation in the game (determined in the F11 screen, by land area)
C) Own every one of the great wonders that have been built, by any means necessary. So, in the F7 screen, all those wonders must be yellow. If a wonder hasn't been built yet, or is in the process of being built, you dont have to own it.
You win when all these objectives are satisfied. That means at the point of victory all of these objectives must be currently fulfilled.
Please, no exploiting, and that includes RoP raping, scout resource denial, etc. Generally, if it is the rules in the GOTM, it is the rules here.
Game Parameters
Large World
Pangaea 80% water
Restless Barbarians
Max opponents
Emporer Level
everything else random
(EDIT: fixed some missing details)
PEOPLE, REMEMBER TO PUT ***SPOILER*** AT THE TOP OF YOUR POST IF IT CONTAINS DETAILS OF THE GAME. DONT GIVE OTHER PEOPLE AN ADVANTAGE!!!!
