HQ1 Succession Game: For the glory of Greece (OPEN GAME)

Yeah, that's true, but it's basically wishful thinking that they won't win a single battle with their 30+ bowmen ;) , of course I would be laughing so hard if they truly didn't win :lol: :goodjob: :lol: .
 
Ugh, sorry, still have the game. Had a road trip home for spring break, busy all day today. Will play and post tomorrow. Sorry guys

1160 - work gangs begin roads to connect spices south of Argos to the Kingdom.

1170 - more internal improvements as road building and irrigation projects are undertaken. Knights reinforce the north and southeastern borders with the Babylonians. The Northern Line is repositioned to take Greek units out of the disease filled jungles. The new line is anchored by Mycenae on its' eastern end. The citizens of Kyoto revolt and an entertainer is hired.

1180 - Northern Line solidified, workers redirected to clear jungle areound Mycenae. The Babylonians demand currency from our scientists, but Leonidas IV refuses to hear of it. Hammurabi is reportedly annoyed with us now. War looks imminent for six months, but tensions cool in 1181.

1190 - more worker movement, Knossos demands an entertainer.

1200 - worker movement, Knights raised in Sparta and Thermopylae, more regiments ordered recruited.

1210 - Knight regiments fortify west of Akkad, more worker movement, Kyoto finishes its' cathedral and begins recruiting knights. Argos finishes a catapult and begins the Great Lighthouse (43 turns). Mycenae finishes its' cathedral and begins an aqueduct. Herakleia finishes its' library and begins a temple.

1220 - the catapult unit is moved to Herakleia, more internal improvements are ordered.

1230 - worker movement, The King takes a hunting trip south of his home city of Sparta. New Knossos finishes its' Knights and begins building a galley.

1240 - Knights take positions on hills south of Akkad, workers go to work clearing jungle north of New Knossos. Pharsalos raises a knight regiment and begins a new cathedral for public worship. The happy Greek people expand the King's palace.

1250 - knights take positions in the hills directly north of the Babylonian iron source, more roads and irrigation.

1255 - worker movement. Greek scientists discover the secrets of gunpowder and begin looking into representative government for the nation. Thermopylae raises a new knight regiment and begins a catapult. New Knossos finishes a galley and begins a marketplace for public trade.

1260 - 2 sources of saltpeter are discovered within Greek borders - one directly west of New Knossos and one south southeast of Athens. The King reviews the royal budget and adjusts the spending rates, 40% to science - Republic in 8 turns, and a profit of +22 gold a turn. Pharsalos finishes a catapult and begins a knight unit, Knossos finishes a regiment of knights and begins a marketplace.

1265 - a catapult is moved to the hills south of the Babylonian iron source. more worker movement. The King dies in Athens in the Royal Palace.

Notes: Sorry for the delay guys, my bad. Everything's lokoing good for killing the Babylonians real soon. They don't have Currency or Monarchy.
 
I'm going to d/l it in a minute, and I'll probably have the summary posted sometime this evening (EST).

No problem about the delay Coopinius, I finished a research paper for my Science Teacher yesterday, that was due today, so I wouldn't have been able to play it anyways ;) . And now with Gunpowder we can safely defend our borders (theoretically) from Babylonian aggression....well for the most part anyways :) .
 
Err, sorry guys, didn't get to play much until now. But I had a pretty good turn to make up for it :D . Here's my summary:

1265 AD: Another dynasty of rulers emerges from Greece, a popular noble from Athens bearing the name Leonardo IV. Not long being crowned King of Greece, King Leo meets with an emissary dispatched by the annoyed Hammburabi, demanding the removal of the Greek galley trespassing in his lands. King Leo agrees, he doesn't want the Babylonians to be aware of his treacherous plans he has in store for them :mwaha: ...

1270 AD: The troops guarding the northern border with Babylon are moved up by orders of the King. A catapult is constructed and sent to Mycenae, any Babylonian who attacks this city will be welcomed first by a barrage of stones!

1275 AD: King Leonardo's cartographers discover something HUGE :eek: . To the west of the city of Babylon, we see a blue cultural border! It is definitely Germany, the ones who had constructed the Colossus! King Leo would love to contact them, but decides not to risk his precious resources until his ships are improved.

1280 AD: Everybody celebrate! [party] [dance] , the former Babylonian city of Kish has overthrown their rulers and pledged absolute alligeance to our wonderful Greek Civilization! With Kish now in our control, the troops formerly intended to take it, move South and fortify near the border of Nippur.

1285 AD: Nothing large enough for King Lenardo to have his scribes record...maybe a regiment of Knights were trained...

1290 AD: Slaves are brought to begin connecting Saltpeter to the Empire.

1295 AD: Nothing

1300 AD: Republic discovered! Education started at a 50% Science devotion rate. Education is estimated to be researched in 50 years (10 turns) at 6 gpt.

1305-1310 AD: Nothing

1315 AD: Saltpeter made fully available throughout most of the Empire! Upon hearing of this King Leonardo IV orders a new weapon, the "musket" to be created and presented before him at once. Insistent upon using it, he does so before fully instructed. Due to his inexperience, he ends up shooting himself in the chest by accident, and collapses on the ground, with his last words being: "Good job on...th...the wea.....ponnn..." The nation mourns the death of King Leo :cry: , but realize they must go on. Gathering the nobles once more in the palace of Athens, another election is held, a new King is crowned....
 
Here's the game and a few other things...

I was thinking of waiting for Astronomy before trying to reach the Germans, who knows, they might reach us before then anyways :).

Also, should we wait for Leo's Workshop before commencing with war? We have a lot of Horsemen that could use the cheap (well not really---but 40 gold sure beats 80) upgrade to Knights.

Lastly, if we DO go to war with the Babs, and SOMEHOW manage not to win it, we can try and make peace and resume war when we get our hands on Military Tradition (can anyone say....CAVALRY? :cool: ).
 
alright, here we go:

My turns basically focused on keeping our infrastructure in good shape and maintaining balance.

1615 - Rename Kish to "Greekish" in hopes of promoting Greek values to the pesky Babs.

1630 - The Russians build the Sistene Chapel. Leo's moved to Athens, chopping off 3 turns (9 left) and Delphi switched to palace as a placeholder for Copernicus.

1635 - Knossos begins Great Lighthouse. Noticed a miner in Corinth... WHY? Corinth will never grow until it finishes its harbor. That was a waste. Whie on the topic, why were so many workers irrigating size 11/12 cities? MINE, baby, MINE!!!

1645 - Education is discovered!!!! The Greeks empire rejoices at the invaluable discovery! Scientists now focus on the completion of Astronomy (11 turns)

1665 - Germans finish the Great Lighthouse.... buggers.

1670 - WE COMPLETE LEONARDO'S WORKSHOP!!!! Bad news. 960 gold needed to upgrade all hoplites.

Summary:

-6 turns to Astronomy - 8 to the palace in Delphi. Switch Delphi to Copernicus's when we discover Astronomy.
-that 960 gold will take a while. I think we should just go to war. the Babs have got nothing on us.
-I've got a galley going to the German border. Chances are we won't lose it, but if we do, who cares? Communications galore!!!

And there ye go.
 
Yay, good job with Leo's :goodjob: . I don't think its the Hoplites that need upgrading (3 defense vs. 4 defense from Musketmen is not that significant, especially if we take the offensive). I want to try to upgrade all those horsemen into Knights, 4/3 is FAR better then 2/1, more then double. It'll probably cost upward of 200 gold even with Leo's, but it's better in my opinion then just sending the Horsemen to the slaughter house.

What are the different "types" of games for you, that feel very different and scratch a different itch?
