M60 01 Another Try as the CSA

Tarkeel said:
Since I'm such a friendly lurker, here is the save. Very strange that it doesn't show up for you..

:lol: that doesn't show up either!!

And neither does your second effort, Sesn... :sad:

The Civ gods are hinting at something, and not too subtly I might add!!
 
have you recently changed browsers, or changed browser settings?

At the bottom of your page, does it indicate that VB code is on?

Can you see saves in other threads?

EDIT: just realized that you can see the links in my sig, so that rules out at least one of those things, and maybe all of them. :confused:

I'll just PM it to you for now.
 
VB code is on, and I can see other saves in this thread, let alone other threads!

Ah well, it's not even my turn next, so let's just leave it!
 
Ah darn. Already sent it out. Ah well.

Whose turn is it? Does it go back to M60, or are we going to give Sir Len a chance to check in? His post in the skips thread said he'd be back today at the latest.

Proposed roster:

Sir Len Taft - UP
M60A3TTS - On deck
Tallanas - Beat on the Aztecs
SesnOfWthr - Let Monty off the hook.....for now.
 
The latest save

Greetings once again to members of the Confederacy. Our brief period of anarchy has been replaced with a time of peace and prosperity in our new Republic. To our civilization we have added the following locations, Biloxi, MS. Little Rock, AR. Chattanooga, TN. The captured Aztec town of Malinalco through popular vote agreed to be renamed Ft. Smith, AR. During this recent time we have seen a number of foreign settlers, but none have established locations close to our own. There is a French settler trying to inhabit the open area on our southern coast, but was refused entry to the area through a blocking action, and our own settler has been sent to that area.

We are also continuing to be among technology leaders, with all known world advances in our possession. We will have invention in 5. We may want Richmond to start colleseum next turn so we can prebuild for Knights Templar or Leonardos. Most recently we offered Mr. Lincoln engineering for monotheism and 5 gold. In the area of wonder construction, I must report the foreign construction of the following: Great Wall (Barcelona) Hanging Gardens (Paris) Mausoleum of Marsallos (Chichen Itza). Sun Tzu and Great Lighthouse are currently under construction by several foreign powers. Atlanta is currently constructing the Forbidden Palace, due in 19.

In military affairs, we are at peace, but I believe the annexation of Mayan towns of Lagartero and Kaminaljuyu must take place at the earliest opportunity. A number of troops are now in the immediate vicinity of Lagartero, and a Mayan settler with two workers are also available for forced inclusion among our laborers. Once these towns are taken, we will have linked Ft Smith, Little Rock, Chattanooga, and Memphis with the rest of the Confederacy. You may note that Little Rock was founded on furs, so the joining of that town to the rest of our civilization by road will be most beneficial.

Once again if Sir Len is available, it would be best if he might indulge us for a round.

Took the liberty of sending a PM to Sir Len. I noticed that he was on as recently as yesterday and thought I'd give him a helpful reminder.

If we don't hear from him w/in the next 24 hrs, you can probably consider him an "indefinite skip".

But it's your call.
 
*ahem*

:bump:

I guess Sir Len is really skipped now. By my count, it goes to Tal.

Anyone know anybody looking for an SG? Or any lurkers interested?

Tallanas - UP
SesnOfWthr - ON DECK
M60A3TTS
 
You guys need to play your turns faster to get more lurkers...you keep falling to page 2! I am waiting for the other civs to get tanks, I can't wait to see what happens.
 
Got it.

Or rather, I haven't got it, as I am still having problems seeing the saves in this thread...

Sesn, could you email it to me please?
 
Well, the emailing didn't work. I'll skip for now so that we can get this back on track... My only other suggestion is that next time Sesn tries to save it as an attachment, rather than use the IMG code...

Maybe that'll work :confused:
 
I'll try to get to this sometime between today and tomorrow.

If I can't find the time, I'll post and let you know on Thursday, but it shouldn't be a huge problem. :)
 
Mr. Davis,

Immediately upon taking control of our empire, I noted that it was indeed a beneficial time for a strike against the Maya. Although our military still leaves something to be desired, I felt that the lack of iron would more than swing things in our favor. Indeed, our units not only took Lagartero, but also routed all opposition in the area, without a single loss. There was a series of skirmishes that we had the upper hand in until 290, when our units barely held in a bloody battle at Lagartero. In retaliation, we assaulted and took the town of Kaminaljuyu. Not feeling creative, a new town founded is named New Richmon, VA. In 300 ad, some 8 of their javelin troops appear near Memphis. The town cannot hold due to lack of roads, but I will try to make peace more expensive for them. In 310 ad, I sign peace. Our units were successful, and I now believe that Memphis can hold, but we will lose several units that we can’t afford to lose. The best I can do is 56g and 17 gpt. It is becoming a major handicap to not have horses, and one that needs to be remedied, somehow. We can not get units to the front quickly enough. Furthermore, there is no visible source that we could obtain by a quick strike. Al sources seem to be fairly deep in enemy territory. In the year 320, our scouts make an exciting discovery. The Aztec source of horses is revealed to be in Tlateloco, just 3 tiles west of Ft. Smith, AR. I think that we may have a new candidate for war. They seem to be getting a bit too big anyhow.Regrettably, I am forced to renew our peace treaty in 340 with the Aztecs. The reasons I did this are because Our units were still healing, reinforcements had still not arrived, and Ft Smith was nearly indefensible. It looks as though our horses will have to wait for 20 more years. In the same year, our workers finally finish the roads that bring furs to the empire. The rest of my time was rather uneventful.

Yours,
Mr. Jackson
 
The western front:
(note the horses NW of Tlateloco)

EDIT: Most of our troop in the area are fortified in Memphis.
There is also a road crew heading from Little Rock to road to Ft Smith.

Well done Jackson! You certainly made an awful lot of progress, and you posted a save I can see!!

Shall I continue, or would you prefer to, M60?
 
Since M60 just had it before me, I would say that you should grab it next, Tal.

As for the save, maybe it just needs to be an attachment in this thread? :hmm:
 
I will get to this on Monday, my weekend looks too busy to fit it in... Sorry!
 
My Dear Jefferson

A truly momentous discovery has been made by our wise men - an explosive powder which they assure me can be used in warfare to devastating effect. It relies upon a natural resource called saltpeter, and my spies inform me that while we have several sources, the French, Spanish and Mayans have none! The Aztecs have one source, on the borders of their empire - should it come to war, we will need to quickly dispossess them of it.

I do not believe that this technology will remain secret for long - the French particularly have an interest in it. I therefore decide to sell it to the world, so as to profit from it most greatly (I cannot see it remaining secret from the Aztecs, for example, as they have that accursed Great Library which seems nothing more than a repository of other nation's advances!)

Isabella of Spain offers Theology, 51 talents per year for the next 20 years, and 90 talkents up front, whilst Lincoln offers 34 talents per year. The boost to our economy has been dramatic, and has enabled us to plan an Empire-wide Education program.

In 410, that fool Montezuma declared war on us, breaking the peace treaty by refusing to withdraw his forces from our territory. Such unprovoked hostility! And foolishness, as Monty found out when ten of his units were wiped out in the first actions of the war...

Since then we have slain many Aztecs and lost only one cavalry unit. The road to the west has reached Little Rock and is nearly at Fort Smith, and both those towns have barracks in them, to help the war effort.

Finally, the Forbidden Palace has been completed in Atlanta, which i hope will enable our newly content citizens to be inspired to higher levels of honesty...

Excellent. The other thing we need to dispossess the Aztecs of is their horses. Can we get them before making peace?
