[conquer_dude]

Wow! You're really drilling in the wars!

Cant wait till an update.

Awesome... I usually do terrible with large maps and lots of civs... great job!

I take Toledo. I need to get a settler to where that city was.

Spain is not gone however, they have managed to build a city under the Celtic Empire.

A settler is on the way and some archers block off the land so no one else can settle.

I'm not going to bother Spain, but I did get 6 techs and 30 gold for peace.

Units are mounting for the next war with Arabia. Since these cities are only size 1, some settlers are being built to replace the destroyed cities.

I get Construction from the Ottomans for Literature and 4 gold.

The Celts have more cities than I do, but we have the same technology. Some of their cities are in the jungle and have little impact on their nation.

With about twenty archers on the border of Arabia, it is time to declare war.

The Arabians stuck a warrior in our border before the war started. They did not like me and a war with them in the future was expected.

The Arabians are second to last in both score and power. The only one who is lower was the victim of my first war, Spain.

Next time - Trying to wipe out the Arabians without letting the Celts get any of that new land.

I captured Najran with ease.

Baghdad was easy to clear out as well.

My current empire. Two new cities will replace the ones I destroyed on the last turn.

Getting to Medina didn't take very long, but Damascus will take some time to get to.

Thankfully, the Celts didn't get it.

Medina is captured. Notice that I am getting most of my workers from these wars. I have over 10 from the two wars combined.

My military is big, I need some new cities to support them soon.

I get into the next age by getting Currency.

Arabia wants a peace treaty. He is willing to give quite a bit, so I accept. A new city is always wanted.

Arabia and their two cities left. Mecca is a big town, it would take about 10 archers to take.

Next time - Do I want to declare war on the Celts, or do I want to get on boats and attack someone else?

 

[Mr David]

By now, you should ally up against the Celts. If not now, they'll get too strong later.

Yes, the Celts need to be dealt with, but getting other civs into a war isn't that good, because the Celts do not have a developed civilization under them.

The Celts want money, and I have to give it to them to avoid a war. The Celts are annoyed, so they wouldn't mind a war.

Meanwhile, I want to clear out the rest of Arabia.

Both cities fell within two turns. I got the Great Wall, which could provide good defence in border cities after my next war breaks out.

The Arabs are not gone. Normally I wouldn't care, but Mecca is having disorder problems.

Six workers from one city? I have 20 foreign workers and two I built myself.

Arabia signs a peace treaty with me. I don't get very good rewards.

Well, the Celts took care of them.

The Celts have plenty of technologies to give to me if I wage a successful war against them. If I fail, then I need to look for new options.

My empire. I build a temple, a barracks, and then military units in every city.

And another blow to my plan, the Celts have fast-moving swordsman.

Next time - Who will start the war first? The Celts do not appear to like me.

 

[conquer_dude]

Start... Fight... Kill... Destroy... Fun...

Nice story man.

 

[stocktracker]

Over 20 units are sitting on the border.

They are the #2 civ in the world, so a war with them may be very long. I go for it anyway.

There is 12 units in that stack, making 28 units total heading for two of the Celts border cities. I hate spelling them out!

I capture Camulodunum, one of the three border cities.

Alesia falls on the same turn.

The Celtic Empire is slowly shrinking.

As for a Celts counterattack, they sent one unit.

They also send a boat, that seems to be floating around.

I capture Gergvoia. That takes care of all of the border cities. Also, Lugdunum seems to be easier to take than the border cities. The Celts are broke, so they can't upgrade units.

I barely took the capital, for one turn I had an archer with one health defend it. It was the only unit that I could get into the city. I did get the Great Library, so that was the reason the Celts were so far ahead in technology. All of those free techs will soon be mine.

Next time - Will the Celts give me a halfway decent offer for peace?

 

[Mr David]

How did you manage to defeat pikemen with archers? That's a nice RNG

 

[Mirc]

Nice RNG! But probably he weakened the defense with swordsman before attacking with the archer.

You are going for a Domination? I think yes.

I had a ton of old units to use, and they worked better than I expected.
Domination? I don't know at this point. I may even attempt a conquest. I expect some time for peace after the Celts are gone.

Free techs from the Great Library. That put me up to the Russians, Mongols, and the Ottomans science level.

My power spikes after taking the Celtic capital.

One worthless city and some money. I think I can go further.

The Celts got a Great Leader from that unit. I've been in more wars than they have!

One by one, more of their cities fall.

I'm running low on troops, and I could use some time to build up again. A peace treaty is signed and I get two cities from the Celts.

Doesn't look like much, but that did knock down the Celts to five cities.

The result of the war was -
1. I became the sole superpower.
2. The Celts are now one of the lagging civilizations.
3. More civs are going for me after my numerous wars. (4 total)

Next time - Will I try to finish off the Celts and improve relations with everyone?

 

[Mirc]

A conquest victory on a huge map is hard to do!
Good luck!

 

[conquer_dude]

^Never done that before, but I have done it on smaller maps.

Cant wait for an update.

 

[stocktracker]

The majority of my production is going into my military.

The Celts are getting into trouble. I should get involved!

The Incans hit me for demands, I accept because I have territory close to them.

With all of that money sitting around, I decide to upgrade some units.

Getting in on some of the action, the Ottomans pay me 10 gold per turn for a war with the Celts.

Another war with the Celts starts. Hopefully it is the final one.

Aarhus is sitting undefended, and has a Celtic unit by it. I give it to the Spainsh because they are weak and I can get it back later anyway.

Since I have a good friendship with the Greeks, and they have some money, I sell them Literature.

Two more Celtic cities fall. They are down to three cities.

Next time - Will I be able to finish off the Celts, and who will I torment if the Celts are gone?

 

[Invisible Rhino]

Good stuff. I will join the hordes who say you should play on Monarch. I find Monarch a lot more fun than Regent.

 

[conquer_dude]

^He clearly said this is his last regent game.

Keep it going dude, love the ton of pics in the tons of updates.

 

[stocktracker]

Good stuff. I will join the hordes who say you should play on Monarch. I find Monarch a lot more fun than Regent.

If I win this, my next game will be on Monarch. I will post it in a seperate thread.

 

[conquer_dude]

Japan on Monarch?

Cant wait for update dude

 

[stocktracker]

As more cities fall into my hands, they are slowly becoming little more than colonies. Most of the military units are still produced in the north.

I don't know what the Scandinavians and the Spanish are up to. I doubt it is a war.

The final Celtic city.

I didn't think the Celts were weak, they were number one for a little while.

Focusing my attention on another matter, Spain does not give back the city I gave them.

Trying to eliminate the Spainish once and for all, I declare war on them.

During my Spainsh war, this message was given to me. Hey, I wanted to kill them off!

I manage to capture Santiago. I don't want to capture their other city right now, it will be destroyed and another civ will build over it. I will wait until the cultural borders expand so I can get it. That will be 10 turns.

I know that Greece is weak, they have one city near me and I want it. I demanded it, but at this point in the game, it isn't working too well. After the alliance fell apart after the Celtic war, relations have taken a nosedive. I declare war on them hoping to get that city and something more.

A mess of agreements are on the board. The Ottomans have right of passage with almost everyone, but they do control the land trade between the west and the east. I want to seize that, another nail in the coffin for the rest of the world.

Next time - Moving troops to the east or the west? You can always help decide my move, I haven't played this any farther than this.

i enjoy the way you tell your stories far more than most i see on here. you don't bother with all that "king so and so looked out to the east and gazed upon the fluffy clouds. dogs were barking and his left foot was mildly swollen from lepracy...." kind of garbage. that really bores me. these stories have been very well tol dbut the one thing they are lacking is competition. before ancient times are finished you usually have the game clinched. there is no possible way you can lose. i want to see you play against people who actually could destroy you. that would be VERY entertaining. anyway, keep up the good work *cough*play on monarch *cough*
