Do any North Afican civs spawn in this mod? Because taking Morocco might be a good thing.

 

[hoplitejoe]

One of the goals is to control all of Iberia. I'm afraid they are not going to be our friends for long

no spawns, Spain has the better land though so i would focus on there

 

[Civ'ed]

But think of those juicy byzzie cities in North africa (poland? no)

 

[hoplitejoe]

We are only stable east of Tangier though, and if everything goes to plan we should have a few formally Spanish city's in our control

 

[Civ'ed]

And the pope? I know I've been too friendly and all that what what but HE NEEDS TO GO. PREFERABLY AFTER FRANCE.

 

[hoplitejoe]

you cannot attack the pope.

 

[Civ'ed]

wait what? NOOOOOOO!

And the game enjoys scaring me by making it look like I was about to lose a 95% chance battle

I wonder who gets the turn when war breaks out?

 

[Optical]

It may be good to get some Berber cavalry out ready for the Spainish spawn and to start thinking about getting money for mercs.

[hoplitejoe]

we don't really need settlers in Spain, we can just take the Spanish cities. also we need some Berber's sooner rather than later as the Spanish are going to spawn any second. I would also turn the science slider down to 0 for a little bit so we can get some mercs.

SK is up, ilduce is on deck.

 

[ilduce349]

I wont be able to play before Friday...

 

[hoplitejoe]

olaf, the save?
and ilduce if you can't play in time i will move you down

 

[Optical]

The settlers are for Morocco - I think we can afford to get those out (I hope so anyway). And I realised that I forgot the save, but I wasn't allowed back on the computer... :/

Attached is the save. Sorry about that.

EDIT: Oh, damn. The Spanish spawn in 910 AD. Luckily, we now have the option of adopting Fuedal Law and levying some (can our cities take it?) - if that doesn't work, I don't know what to do. Because the Spanish spawn in two turns. :facepalm: I had no idea!

 

[hoplitejoe]

Why hadn't any one mentioned the spainsh spawn!! oh wait...

It may be good to get some Berber cavalry out ready for the Spainish spawn and to start thinking about getting money for mercs.

Spain will be coming in 911 (i think) and Portugal around 1100.

SK hasn't been on since the 15 so until he gets back or ilduce can play we can come up with some ideas.
