Onan's multisession G&K, Alternate Reality Game (8pm in Auckland, GMT +13)
- Thread starter Onan
- Start date
I'm gonna record this game finally. I wanted to wait for another one to start but it's ''only'' turn 72 and this game should be a long one.
I will probably add a black window with some texts inside ''a la'' Youtube style explaining how i ended up this way until that turn to let every viewers well informed about what is happening.

Yesss
Double Spanish scouts brought in big wonder cash, so Barcelona was settled early and got to 3 citizens from a pop ruin.
Desert folk lore was chosen so the first religion was founded very early focusing on happiness.
Great Library was missed by 1 turn due to lack of forest to chop, which would otherwise meant super early National College timed immediately after the GL. Guess one can't get all the fortune as it will be a broken game.

Lib rush buy in 2nd city?
No, hard built after a shine, to ensure desert folk lore. That early 3 pop city can get buildings fast.

Bye bye, old England, we poor Arabs will miss your rich lands.
So, our second session was plagued by freezes and reloads. We abandoned the first game after three reloads that didn't work for more than a turn or two.
New game:
Onan - Arabs
Tabarnak - Persia
EEE - magic Spain
Shamaflama - Ottomans
Foffaren - Rome
Islandia - Egypt
Nouco - England
aDaigo - Aztecs
...I think. Mecca was settled along a river with some tundra near, snows in the north, mountains east, desert south, and waterless hills to the west. Oh joyous unborn prophet, you surely have blessed your people with a spiritual existence, for what else can we look forward to?
We forgot to turn off VCs...hopefully we get a chance to see how that works out, if the game keeps working next week!

-"Here! Right here. The large lake, the river, the gold filled mountains. This place is perfect. Set up my tent. Tell the legionaires to start walling up the perimiter."
Augustus looked out over the hilly but fertile lands.
-"This is where we will stay and make a name for ourselves. This is Rome."
Pontius, the large centurion he had put in charge of organizing the defense and scouting parties came up the hill with a legionare on his tail, trying to keep up with the giant steps of the centurion.
-"Large and clever", thought Augustus.
-"He would be a formidable opponent if he went in to politics. Instead he chose the soldiers life and now he helps me keep the senate away. I couldnt ask for a more suited ally."
-"Hail Caesar. I bring news from the scouting parties" the big centurion said. A mountain of a man he was.
-"Come, friend. Sit. Have some wine and show me these reports. I wish to know how we can expand our lands. These will not suffice for long."
The centurion poured some wine in a cup but remained standing. He waved to the legionare in the backround and he quickly moved up and produced a map from his bags and put it out on the table.
-"We are here" Pontius said. "To the north is nothing but jungle and we have mountains in the south." "The mountains are full of gold. More than anyone has ever seen. Our coffers will no doubt be full for a long time, but we will need to keep a large army to keep these lands secure from invaders and barbarians."
-"You are right, no doubt." Augustus moved around the table, inspecting the map. "What about this river. Have your men followed it upstream? What can you tell me about these lands?"
The centurion moved closer. "The river flows from the north east. Reports have come back and they mentions a great place for a settlement. Plenty of grain and fruit. The scouts talked about a long yellow fruit, and if you removed the skin a soft fruit full of flavours emerge. It will feed a lot of hungry legionaires I'm sure."
-"Further upstream, in the jungle next to a lonely mountain they found a camp of barbarians. They were slaughtered for the glory of Rome." The centurion looked up and took a deep breath. "They also found gemstones. Lots of gemstones. It will take some work but I strongly advice that we build a labor camp and a small settlement there. We need to be able to securely transport the stones to Rome."
-"You are right, ofcourse, my friend. Good work. Now leave me, make sure the palisade is strong and set up a barack. We will need plenty of recruits. War is coming."
The centurion put down the cup of wine untouched, picked up the map and left without a word.
Full of thoughts Augustus left the tent and looked down at his sprawling settlement. "How can I make this last for thousands of years when the enemies of Rome crawls ever closer? I hope I'm as good at politics and diplomacy as the fools in the senate tells me I am." He started walking down the hill to the closest tent. "English they call themselves" he said to himself. "And what was the other one that kept talking about gods and culture? Spanish? Yes. Spanish."
