you can use either the attachment button in the "Post Reply" or there is a dialog box for uploading images to Imageshack. Then, you can just cut&paste the last link, but make sure you surround the pic with tags. I think it's a button in the Post Reply box.

edit: look, we really ARE the same person! :lol:

Go, go PipeHero

 

[Munterpipe]

this is getting scary!

 

[Japanrocks12]

We draw Saladin!

(Spiritual, Philosophical)

Here's a picture of our starting lands

I think I'll settle in place. Our warrior should go down to the hills to bust a lot of fog.

Can we make this city into a food producer and possible high GPPer? or is this more of a science city?

 

[pholkhero]

were those two other posts you learning ot post screenies??

I would definitely settle in place, but you won't need to explore the Big Fat Cross ~ you're borders will do that. I usually send my initial unit in a circle around the capital to see what's what.

First techs and builds depend on whether you want to go for a religion or not, which, at Noble, is up to you; i have no opinion one way or the other. Either way, Spiritual is great for quick, situational civic changes

edit: please don't feel shy about saying "Pholkhero, you're full of s-!" or nicer ways of disagreeing with me. I'm not the end-all, be-all of civ players so feel free to call BS ~ or just ask me to explain why.

 

[Japanrocks12]

Well I've already begun playing. Played and logged 13 turns with 17 left to go -_-.

 

[lost_civantares]

If you grow desperate for people I'll be happy to join if wanted, though I'm a prince/noble.

Munterpipe: instead of making the code purposely wrong just use [plain], so you can do stuff like

Edit: This is vanilla civ4, right?

 

[Japanrocks12]

great! you're on the roster.

I'll probably finish my turns tomorrow night and then post.

 

[lost_civantares]

Cool, thanks! Looking foreward to playing!

My second SG! (hopefully this one will last!)

This is on noble, right? Start by researching Fishing, then head for Priesthood, with a pitstop at Pottery along the way. Start by building a Worker, then switch to a Work Boat once Fishing comes in. Build the Oracle and go for a CS-Slingshot. Cottage all of the plains tiles, including the wine! Switch to Beauracracy and never look back.

May I join? I'm still technically a newb, and have only payed 2 SG's. (Chaos 2,3, and 4 combined together) I have nothing to do for a LONG time. Thus, I usually get to post a got it and a report a few hours after the save is posted. Although, I seem to have a problem with techs, I just keep falling behind...

of course! added to roster.

Thanks Lost Civantares, you learn something new everyday.

 

[picardathon]

Yes, on account of Saladin being Protective/Spiritual in Warlords.

 

[Japanrocks12]

Sorry about turn delay but I promise I will have them up today.

Turn 1: 4000 BC

I settle in place and I move our warrior 1 SW. He reveals a tribal village 1 SE of us. Mecca is set to build a warrior, which is due in eight turns.

I decide to go ahead for an early religion and pick polytheism to research. It is due in 11.

Turn 2: 3960 BC

Tribal village gives us 40 gold
Instead of working a grassland/forest that gives 2F/1P, I work a plains/forest that gives 1F/2P. The warrior will build in 5 turns now, but growth is slowed to 20 turns.

Turn 6: 3800 BC

Borders expand giving us a view of our north lands. Within our city radius, we have two wines, one clam, one fish. South of us is a corn and pigs. North of us is gold and cows. Warrior due next turn.



Turn 7: 3760 BC

Warrior is built, starting another warrior. He too is due in five turns. I sent the warrior that was just built NW for exploration while the first one is going SW.

Turn 8: 3720 BC

SW warrior spots a village SW of us. Naturally, I head there.

Turn 10: 3640 BC

Buddhism is FIDAL. Means we have spiritual opponents with mysticism or Huayna. Eek. Lion is accosting our NW warrior, while our SW warrior has a wolf to deal with. We get 49 gold from the tribal village and find Mansa's borders.

Turn 11: 3600 BC

Our warrior defeats the wolf without a scratch. The lion leaves our other warrior alone. Hinduism and our next warrior are due both next turn.

Turn 12: 3560 BC

We found Hinduism! Our warrior also finishes. I order him to fortify. I switch to the highest food yield tile so that we can grow quickly. Our NW warrior finds some lands north of us and another tribal village, of course.
I order another warrior and research agriculture while we wait to grow.



Here's a shot of our north:


Turn 13: 3520 BC

We get.. 20 more gold. Our SW warrior finds ANOTHER tribal village next to Mansa's borders.

A shot of our south:


Turn 14: 3480 BC

This tribal village gives our warrior exp. I order up two woodsman promotions for double movement through forests.

Turn 17: 3360 BC

Mecca grows to size two, and I switch to a grassland/forest so the worker I'll order next turn will finish in 12.

Turn 18: 3320 BC

Our warrior finishes, and we start on a worker. Agriculture due next turn, and we meet Tokugawa's scout and make contact.

Turn 19: 3280 BC

Agriculture->Fishing

Turn 20: 3240 BC

We see Toku's borders. Alright this is where I'll end, and we can go 15 for the rest of this rotation and 10 afterwards

A shot of our north, again:



And one of our south:



We're working on a worker and fishing.
