Role Play Challenge, TNG: Julian Assange, WikiCivilization

WTH happened that hatse is so succesful here :D she's the very first leader i see peacevassaling to a major superpower in all of my games, lol :)
 
Sure you mean Hatty (Dutch) and not Genghis (Egypt)?
But he isn't that big, you might have counted some of Qin's Zulu cities as Egyptian, they do look somewhat similar after all.
 
Ah, unrestricted leades, haven't looked in the thread quite some time. Yeah, i mean egypt.
 
julian Assange: Manipulations

Julian decides to shake the world up a bit more

WikiB0000.jpg


Opting to drag DeGaulle into the other continets war.

Meanwhile Wiki-spies stole

WikiB0000.jpg


granting emancipation to the Wikis but more importantly allowing another espionage building.

DeGaulle's war with Qin was short-lived as he caapitulated to the Egyptian Khan creating a strong if technologically behind power block. Julian had to take care of that.

First the diplomatic situation

WikiB0004.jpg


And the khan has enough on his hands.

Next the wiki-spies continue

WikiB0005.jpg


And after adjusting our slider to bolster our gold output we managed

WikiB0006.jpg


And stole

WikiB0007.jpg


Resulting in

WikiB0008.jpg


Beakers are completely unncessary in WikiWorld.

Soon we find out why the Egyptian Khan has enough on his hands

WikiB0009.jpg


He wanted the Dutch HAtshepsut to be where she belongs, on the Egyptian throne or as Julian thought bound and gagged at the khans feet.

While Julian wants nothing to do with intereferring with Khan's mating rituals plus a leering desire to remain happy with the Dutch Lady, Julian decided that the odd man out needs to be addressed

WikiB0010.jpg


Almost immediately we get the request from DeGaulle

WikiB0011.jpg


And proceed to drive the wiki's into Roman lands

WikiB0014.jpg


The main emphasis is not forgotten with the current excitement

WikiB0016.jpg


And a close Roman city is captured and DeGaulle captured a former Montezuma city which was great becasue we had a spy there and DeGaulle has not built any espionage buildings there yet.

To prevent any mischeviness from ghenghis

WikiB0018.jpg


and we started espionage again although other options have popped up

WikiB0019.jpg


Apparently Suliman still likes us

Espionage is diverted towards Suliman

WikiB0020.jpg


However there is one big issue

WikiB0021.jpg


NO OIL. Ah well, it's the basis of a filthy capitalistic situation that Julian does not need.

Espionage against DeGaulle yields

WikiB0022.jpg


WikiB0023.jpg


And against Suliman

WikiB0026.jpg


While we made this trade

WikiB0025.jpg


AS noone has researched rifling yet for us to steal we saved

with our espionage situation

WikiB0027.jpg


Monty deserves a few eps now as he is researching communism.

Techs

WikiB0028.jpg


And we saved here. I should point out thatJulian does have ONE source of Uranium.

SO I think we build an industrial base and be prepared to steal our way to space unless the Khan has other plans.
 
Get the oil source on the island to your west if you need oil. You can definitely afford a city there. OF COURSE, your other option is Standard Ethanol, but you need a GS for that.
EDIT: Wait, you're LOSING gold???? Go with Standard Ethanol.
 
Losing gold at 80% E.-slider, doesn't look that bad to me. A city next to or on that oil near Aryan (or Aryan itself in case the oil is in its second ring) should be affordable.
 
Oh. Totally forgot to look at the :espionage: slider. :blush:

Won't be second ring to Aryan, looks like fourth to me. Also it is not even on the same island.

The story in between these lines almost makes me wanna replay this map again :lol:
 
I am finishing this game out as we speak, so expect teh final update sometime tomorrow.
 
Are you taking suggestions for the next RPC? I like the idea of a Yi Sun-Shin (Korean Admiral guy) RPC, or play somewhere really small and isolated, like a Greenland game on an Earth map or something.
 
JUlian Assange: The End of WikiCivilization

With three friendly civilizations on Julian's borders tech theft continued to be easy

WikiC0000.jpg


WikiC0001.jpg


Julian decides to adopt the principals of State PRoperty

WikiC0002.jpg


Julian then has his minds on visiting the fair HAtshepsut's lands very soon

WikiC0003.jpg


PArticularly since the fair Hatshepsut has secretly tried to esablish a victory path behind Julian's back

WikiC0004.jpg


Having HAtshepsut live in blissful peace while the Dutch enjoy cultural enlightnement? PLEASE>>>>>>>>>>

However, DeGaulle is never to be trusted, so Julian leverages his money a bit more

WikiC0005.jpg


DeGaulle and Genghis stayed at war for the remainder of the game, but also remember Genghis initiated things with HAtty first

WikiC0006.jpg


Julian sits back and smiles as the world erupts into a massive war while the Wiki's stay out of it. Especially since Julian is more than willing to fall back on bribery to keep that state

WikiC0007.jpg


While the world is at war, Julian takes to time to have a little love fun with HAtshepsut

WikiC0008.jpg


WikiC0009.jpg


The idea is to take out and raze as many of her cities close to cultural centers as possible.

WikiC0010.jpg


WikiC0012.jpg


We tried to reach Amsterdam but HAtty did have sufficient troops to weaken it, and since julian is really a lover and not a fighter.

WikiC0014.jpg


HAtty was willing to take peace as soon as JUlian swiped rifling from DeGaulle.

SO Julian was left to planning and stealing while DeGaulle and Khan fought their war.

WikiC0015.jpg


WikiC0016.jpg


WikiC0018.jpg



WikiC0019.jpg


WikiC0020.jpg


WikiC0021.jpg


WikiC0023.jpg


Julian is doing quite well in technology and Hatty has once again opened borders in friendship although much less trusting now.

Theft continues as Julian heads towards some late game wonders


WikiC0024.jpg


WikiC0025.jpg



WikiC0026.jpg



Julian built the UN with a Great Engineer. Unfortunately DeGaulle got control of it, but Julian in unconcerned as he has a vote in it.

Theft and wonders continue


WikiC0028.jpg


WikiC0029.jpg


WikiC0031.jpg


WikiC0033.jpg


WikiC0035.jpg


WikiC0036.jpg


To Be Continued............
 
Julian Assange: The End of WikiCivilization

After all this theft Julian checks the techs

WikiC0037.jpg


Now even with DeGaulle who is a SpaceRAce and UN rival.

To combat this Julian has a massive statue of himself built in a border city facing DeGaulle's throne.

WikiC0038.jpg



FAce with the prospect of staring at his face all the time DeGaulle demanded some fee for this

WikiC0039.jpg


Which Julian gratefully gave and the DeGaulle/Khan war continued.

The next theft was

WikiC0040.jpg


And Julian immediately beagn the race to the internet, difficult as DeGaulle had mining Inc to assist him. However, state property shall persevere over capitalism.

WikiC0041.jpg


WikiC0042.jpg


The UN votes for diplomatic victory continue to be alarmingly close

WikiC0043.jpg


WikiC0044.jpg


Also to slow DeGaulle's progress on the internet and boost relations through favored civics

WikiC0046.jpg


All the while the Egyptian/Ottoman war continues.

Soon Julian finishes

WikiC0047.jpg


And vast knowledge from it and spies flood into the Wiki's

WikiC0048.jpg


WikiC0049.jpg


WikiC0051.jpg


WikiC0052.jpg


WikiC0053.jpg


WikiC0054.jpg


Not bad, Apollo is built and construction of the needed spaceship parts begun. Espionage continues to increase and Julian has more than enough to steal the remainder of the tree, spies are stationed in Ottoman cities to destroy DeGaulle's space program.

As Degaulle comes with a city of dead Egyptians from victory


WikiC0055.jpg


DeGaulle became even more arrogant and started making real outragous demands

WikiC0056.jpg


Frankly I have never gave that much gold before but Julian caved in. WOW!

WikiC0059.jpg


WikiC0060.jpg


The Wikis worked fast and explosions were heard in Ottoman lands, however there was one thing Julian could NOT ignore

WikiC0061.jpg


Once again the Dutch queen approached victory and once again Julian's hand was forced

WikiC0064.jpg


The thrid cultural city was offshore and a convenient naval assault captured

WikiC0065.jpg


And razed it. HAtty is ticked off now and ready to send a large army our way.

But the threat of a cultural loss was abated

WikiC0066.jpg


Followed by a timely UN vote

WikiC0067.jpg


The war ends and a valient soldier makes an incredible journey north the Juian triggering a Golden Age

WikiC0069.jpg



Construction of the Space SHip ahead of DeGAulle seams assured now especially with the Ottoman project completely trashed

WikiC0071.jpg


Julian relaxes as he awaits the 15 turns until the SpaceShip lands on Alpha Centure to bring more wikis across the galaxy.

However, DeGaulle had one last trick up his sleeve.

WikiC0072.jpg


WikiC0073.jpg


With 4 turns left Degaulle get's a UN victory!

SO all of Julian's espionage work has resulted in another civilization taking control of the world via diplomacy.

Honestly, I don't quite know if Julian has actually won or lost here?
 
Wow, what an ending. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH but still so much fun. So close. SOOOOO close. Thx for the great game mad.
 
You won the RPC... but you lost the game.
 
I don't have a good overall sense of how things progressed, but: Was there any point at which you might have been able to bribe for better relations with at least one of the civs that voted for De Gaulle?

vassals vote always for the master, so mad had only mongols as option since hatty he declared on to not allow the culture victory.

it looks unsolvable (except for some mad (hint hint!) war against leading block). I had similar situation in Mehmed IC game where Mongols run away with game and they eventually did the right thing when i was few turns from launching.
