My Attempt at Sid

[civverguy]

Inspired by the Largest Jump thread, I decided to play a Sid game.

Carthage (Picked Random)
Archipelago
80% Water
Normal
Temperate
4 Billion

The start:

 

[civverguy]

Holy ^&*$!

A couple turns into the game and I've found another civ!!!
How long do you think I'll last?

 

[Synobun]

Oh wow, better get some troops ready.

I suspect around 50 BC.

 

[Aabraxan]

Wow. Talk about bad luck . . . you choose an 80% water archipelago map and get Tokyo 5 tiles from your capitol. Good luck, civverguy!

 

[civverguy]

I played on and lost at 730 BC.
Some screens

Me being completely surrounded.

I lost.

 

[Synobun]

That was quick. And I was close to my estimation. Try again.

 

[Sashie VII]

That was quick

Too bad, civverguy. Post it if you try again, ya?

 

[civverguy]

I started another game which has the same preferences and the previous one.
The start:

 

[civverguy]

Double post please ignore.

 

[Sashie VII]

Hope you're alone this time.

 

[CivRulesAll]

[civverguy]

Continuing
I meet the Babylonians

The first wonders are built



I meet the Celts and China


The world as I know it in 1250 BC.

In this one of you go all-out naval and attempt to last until the modern ages you might even stand a chance - as long as you are polite/gracious with everyone, and as soon as that 12 turns writing finishes make embessies everywhereand try to do Rights of Passage everywhere.

And then get ROP raped.

 

[Sashie VII]

It's archipelago, any ROP-rape attempt by the AI would be obvious. Having ROP in place makes little difference IMO.

Make it AW already

 

[CivRulesAll]

come on you can*cough* do it ! at least i hope.....

why are you making a palace? Are you aiming for the GL?

 

[Sanotra]

How do you zoom out on your minimap?

 

[civverguy]

I'm not sure . I might not be able to get it because I think Greece is in the middle ages.

How do you zoom out on your minimap?

You press z.

I couldn't update this week because I had a math competition and music competition.

 

[civverguy]

Ok... I started a new game because I felt like I had no chance when the Celts invaded.
Now I am playing as France with the same preferences.
The start

I am aiming for writing straight away. Is this a good idea?
