German Succession Game on World Map

[PreTzeL_22]

Also, PreTzel-22 said he wanted to play and I've already played over his turns once. I don't want to do that again to the guy

aaawww.... so kind.... Actually, thank you, nobody seems to like me .

Hey PreTzel_22: Are you still unable to post attachments or are you also having trouble posting replies? I think you have to made a certain number of posts (10?) before you can attach files to your replies.

I thiiiiiiiiink I've posted more than ten (more than likely). I'll play the game tomorrow and If I can't attach it, well, I'll just have to leave the game (GASP! NO! )

 

[PreTzeL_22]

Just so nobody starts playing in my place (grrrr ......), I will phrase this so nobody gets any other impressions: I WILL PLAY THE GAME AND ATTEMPT TO POST IT THIS AFTERNOON, OK? If I can't play it, whoever's next in line, post their email adress, so I can send it to you if all else fails.

BTW, what is the process required to get a screenshot to appear in my posts? I tried "Print Screen", and then a paste, but it just don't work! Help!

In regards to the game: I'm glad we made peace with Persia (Immortals), but aren't they a little far away to be threatening? I though Persia was in the middle East? Anyway, why make war on Greece, shouldn't we wait till Hoplites aren't in vogue? I'm thinking more of invading England. Never mind, we shall crush them in time.... :tank: :tank: :tank: :tank: :tank: :tank:

ACHTUNG PANZER!

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

Yeah, they're far way, which is why I didn't care if they declared war, but once they actually showed up, I was in the middle of Latin-bashing, and didn't want a 2-front war. Figured I shouldn't repeat Germany's greatest mistake before we even got out of the ancient era. As for the Greeks, the only reason I suggested them is cause they planted Corinth right in the middle of France (bastards) and we could get the Great Lighthouse out of it if we took Athens. I'm all for killing England too though =) Good luck with the game.

 

[PreTzeL_22]

Here's the game. Donsig, it's your turn.
I'll post a report this afternoon.

 

[PreTzeL_22]

320BC (How does one know when Christ is to be born?... ) Herr Pretzel, the warmongering egomaniac, assumes power over the small but soon to be dominant German civilisation.

T 1: Herr Pretzel has the distinguished honour of clicking on the 'end turn' button.

T 2: To sate his egomaniacish desires, Herr Pretzel renames our glorious capital 'Pretzelgrad'. The people throw spontaneous celebrations in honour of Herr Pretzel's ascension to power. Our palace is given a choice looking roof, though heating still remains a problem.

T 3: A turn of realisations: Herr Pretzel notices an anstonishing lack of workers and galleys, and the thorn in our side, Conrith, is fully realised as the annoyance that it is. Herr Pretzel does a tour of duty in his humvee to wip the inhabitants of several cities into producing 'two minute swordsmen'. Our boys move into attack positions outside Conrith, Hoplites or not, we shall prevail, we shall fight them in the streets, we shall fight them on the beaches...

T4: War is declared on the evil Greeks, several workers are captured while on a smoko brake. Legions of swordsmen move in and cut Conrith off.

T 5: Our swordsmen attack Conrith, two hoplites are killed at no loss, and a last warrior almost kills one of our swordsmen. Conrith is ours! Although one disgruntled lady leads a band of resistors against our noble cause.

T 6: The leader of the band of resistors in conrith is deported to a new residence in the English channel. Egypt demands that we give them tribute, but our Iron leader is not one to be intimidated
by threats such as: "We will send our war chariot to squash you."
Egypt declares war. Our swordsmen redeploy for further attacks on Greece, who has thus far failed to respond. Hahahaha!

T 7: Our 'alchemists' discover monarchy (what does alchemy have to do with that?). Herr Pretzel wisely delays a revolution until we are descisively whipping Greece.

T 8: A galley heads to colonise Norway. (I suggest that that city is founded ON THE COAST). Greek bandits raid Innsbruck, the cowards.

T 9: Sparta is captured! The greek raiding party is defeated, but, true to greek nature, flee the might of or legions of swordsmen.

T 10: Construction is discovered! Monotheis is discovered!(through the great library. We will get feudalism for free, though).
Our people (no doubt entirely because of the great Herr Pretzel)
enter a new age of prosperity! The last of the greek raiders, once again in typical cowardly fashion, attacks a 1 hp swordsman but is killed! HAHAHAHA! Death to the Cowards! Seeing that the time for a new leader has come, Herr Pretzel supports a revolution to lead our people to a greater future!

Long Live Germany!

BTW, WE MUST GET SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR!

 

[LKendter]

I may get to play soon

 

[joespaniel]

Ditto.

 

[donsig]

130 BC: A few entertainers are hired so as to avoid civil disorder on top of anarchy.

110: German settlers land in Sweden. There's Ruskies everywhere! Noble leader, give me more panzers that I may drive them over the beating hearts of our enemies! Including those war chariots near Athens.

90: War chariots gone. Greek horsemen make a run for the undefended Pretzelovski. (Why do our cities have Russian sounding names?) War chariots advance on Bucharest. We learn republic. Shall we have a revolution or are we happy with our anarchy? Hmmm. Pretzelville riots trying to figure that one out.

70: Greek horse falls outside Pretzelville as Oslo is founded in the north.

50: More Egyptians killed as our troops advance towards Athens in force. We lose a regiment of swordsmen to a Greek horse.

30: Donsig proclaimed King of the Germans. The new king tours his kingdom and issues a flurry of orders to ready his kingdom for the years ahead. Donsig orders Pompeii abandoned and puts down riots in Krackow.

10 BC: Outskirts of Athens is reached. Liz is upset because the citizens of Pompeii have moved into her territory. She's about to become even more upset...

10 AD: King Donsig passes away. His unpopolar son takes the throne and there are riots, riots, riots. Alex wants to talk. Must have something to do with the seven regiments of swordsmen outside Athens. Donsig II scorns the Greek peace offer and passes into history.

30: Donsig III takes his fathers place and Athens as well (along with its Great Lighthouse). He then finsihes another project started by his grandfather by founding the city of Brest right smack in England's territory. Liz declares war.

More to come. I'll finish my turns in the morning. (Well, later this morning after I sleep a little. It's 3 am here.)

 

[donsig]

30 AD (continued): Greeks land on the Adriatic coast. Egyprians mass near Athens.

50: Still 2 chariots near Athens. Peace made with Alex. We get 8 g, 2 g/t, Pharsalos (N. Turkey) and Argo (Sunny Sahara). he Egyptian attack on Athens fails. The do take the undefended North Turkey.

70: Egyptians defeated outside Athens once again.

90: Library built in Bucharest. 3 war chariots converge on the undefended Sunny Sahara.

110: Cleo takes Sunny Sahara.

130: Advancing on North Turkey.

150: Massive civil unrest in the kingdom as Donsig VI is off campaigning in Turkey.

170: North Turkey recaptured.

190: China makes demands. The King refuses. Mao declares war.

210: Battle for New Turkey continues.

230: Egyptians defeat our forces and burn North Turkey. Liz wants peace and we get 7 g & 3 g/t. Library built in Athens. Forces rush to defend the straights near Turkey as Donsig XII orders horsemen recruited.

250: The battle for the straights begins.

EDIT: Attachment deleted to save server space!

 

[donsig]

The war with Egypt is non-productive. We should be able to hold the straights with minimal defense. We're probably better off making peace, kicking the Romans out of Spain and gearing up for the inevitable confrontation with the Russian powerhouse. We'll have feudalism in one turn. Two wonders in progress. The Hanging Gardens are most important IMHO. We have happiness problems in monarchy. I shudder to think what would happen in a republic. We have huge cities.

I was planning to disband Pretzelville and rebuild on the south coast of France.

EDIT: Attachment deleted to save server space!

 

[EmprorCoopinius]

Good idea. Maybe give the cities their real names back too.

 

[LKendter]

Preturn -
FieldMarshall Lee feels insulted.
For German blood is much of what runs in his veins.
Our capital is renamed Berlin.

Next to reseach - Theology. I want lots of MA wonders.

Paris gets the Great wall in 42 turns.
Japan gets the Great wall in 29 turns.
All possible embassies are established.

:flamedevi:
Do I turn Babylon on Egypt?
I turn Persia on Egypt at the cost of Feudalism.

[LKendter]

310 AD - Hanging gardens expires to quickly, switch Liege to palace.
I hope to snag the Chappel

Good think I was giving up on the Gardens, Thermoplyae builds it!
A dangerous cascade to Sun Tzu.

Bad news - Theology from the GL. That means major competion for Sistine.
Chivalry is ordered.

320 AD - India gets our spare iron for $17/turn.
Purchase a Roman worker.
China will finally talk, the the price is absurd.
Japan and Egypt sign an alliance versus Persia
Yet, Japan can really hurt them!
I must be doing something right, yet another palace expansion.
This is the wierdest palace I have ever seen.

330 AD - Rome and Persia sign an alliance against France.
Zululand and Egypt sign an alliance against Persia.

340 AD - Zzzzzz

350 AD - See 340 AD

360 AD - We can now trade with Persia. They get wines for $10/turn.
Babylon, Russia are now eligible to trade with, but are broke
Chinesse price for "peace" is still absurd.
Rome and Egypt sign an alliance against Babylon
370 AD - Zzzzz
380 AD - Hmmm... I suggest that Greece get Nervous.
Chinesse forces approaching Trans Russia.
390 AD - Is it time for bed?
400 AD - Peace with China. We give them Trans Russia. It was a 1/1 city, and had a large stack on

units approaching it. We then trade China wines for silks & $1/turn.
Another round of trading, just a few bucks and terriotory maps for our world maps.
We need cash for the upgrades to knights that are hopefully coming up soon.
Of course, as long as our galley in the pacific keeps exploring...
410 AD - Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
420 AD - The Hanging gardens problem is solved. We take Thermopylae from Greece.
I plan to "tax it to death".
We know have a source of incense. Another source of horses.
HeHeHe - Now Greece will talk. I could not squeeze world map, but I get territory map and $20.
France and Rome sign a peace treaty.
I begin research on Education. I know it will kill the Great Library, but Smiths, Observatory, etc

are on that part of the tech tree.
430 AD - MEGA Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
440 AD - Ok, it is only $3/turn, but we sell wines to France.
I know a source of more wines....
Our world map trading nets enough for a horse to knight upgrade.
Greece and Rome sign an alliance against Babylon.
450 AD - I **DEMAND** Rome leave our territory, and the declare war.
GOOD. They were the aggresor.
Net result, we get 3 workers, kill 1 archer, 2 horseman.
We lose 1 horseman.
460 AD - More trading. Horses to France for $5/turn.
Well I was trading to get enough for another knight upgrade, but I can't resist another 2 workers

from Russia for $45. Knights building up in Marseilles.
470 AD - We get Engineering for Free. We get Education for free. Research on banking begins.
The Great Library is obsolote.
[dance] We complete Sistine Chappel.
480 AD - More dead Roman units.
490 AD - More dead Roman units. Cumae holds, and our last swordsman dies.
Pop a good hut and get $50.
[dance] I don't believe it, but we ALSO get Sun Tzu.
We get a golden age.
500 AD - Kill another unit in Cumae, but it still holds.
Of course, a lot of knights now converaging on the city.


Summary - The fighting in the world is hard to even track. What a mess.
:flamedevi: To think I started it :flamedevi:

We now have a much better defense for military. 100% veteran, pikeman. Still to thin at 1 unit per city, but much better than what I started with.

Our knowledge of the world is better, but still a lot of holes in the map.

The Palace in Krakow is to get us Smiths. Research Economics next.

450 AD - I **DEMAND** Rome leave our territory, and the declare war.
GOOD. They were the aggresor.

Good one, Lee!

I believe I am up. Im not looking forward to such long turns, but I'll deal with it.
Cant wait to smash Ceaser and rule all of Europe!

All hail Germany!

 

[donsig]

Great job!

I think we will have a big war with Russia someday. Should be fun.

 

[joespaniel]

I was thinking how much fun it would be to "annex" Russia with panzers...

 

[PreTzeL_22]

I was thinking how much fun it would be to "annex" Russia with panzers...

Wasn't it bismark who believed that germany should not make war on Russia....

I was thinking more along the lines of.... OPERATION SEALION! Joespaniel, you should know what I mean...

 

[PreTzeL_22]

Our capital is renamed Berlin.

Spoilsport!

What is the current diplomatic situation? ie. Who's at war with who?

AND HOW DO I POST SCREENSHOTS?!

 

[LKendter]

We we only have 1 war - ROME.
The rest of the world it in turmoil with the wars.

Greece accepted peace after I took smyrna - now guarded with walls and 2 pikeman. Starved down to almost nothing, so not much in the way of greeeks left.

Don't forget, after we take those 3 European Roman cities -
several more wines to trade. Every buck counts

I think the next target = UK. The walls will be difficult, but it is good land. :flamedevi: - plus I am bad. I prefer to beat up the weaklings. Hey, 3 roman cities will add a lot to our empire.

I can tell a bunch of warmongers here - no comments on the fact that I pull a rabbit out of my hat, and got both Sistine and Sun Tzu. No cascades, so a lot of flushes shields for the AI. An if Joe follows the Banking to Economics route, the palace will get us Smith's. Our little German nation is a wonderous nation.

My only regret - I wish there was a unit on the galley sailing the world! We could have popped all type of goodie huts!


joespaniel is up next
