"Will the Real Suryavarman Stand Up?": Part III
Well, I promised you all I would do this. I played the next segment after having having a bottle Pinoir Noir Wine. Played poorly for sure, but the game was not so confusing this time
Now I do have some coffee so I hope the segment reads well. Bear with me.
The segment amounted to having a dogpile against Sury by Sury, Sury, Sury, Sury and myself! We completely trashed our economy, built a sonder we did NOT expect and got a GP at the end that I have NO idea what to do with!!!
Oh yeah, our economy is only solvent but having our most productive city building wealth!
But I am rambling, let's talk about the ROC tale, this cursed game that was suggested by "I don't remember". How could I be so crazy as to play this map. Oh yeah the screenshots.
To begin with we went to Orange Sury, as our units ar enearing a strike, and begged/groveled/pleaded for a free tech. We got this.
Oh greta Orane Sury, your geneosity will not be forgotten. What can I do for you, who shall I kill. Wait, OK I'm doing OK, to the game.
The evil Sury, the one who declared war on us just because we were trying to purify the world of the Cursed Sury makes a demand of us.
HOW DARE HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But do not worry, our good and trusted friend Sury stops by with a request. Attack the evil Sury, You Bet, we declare war although I still am not sure where this guy is.
Meanwhile our economy completely trashed, with -17 gold which sends the troops on strike. In a moment of great insight, I start building wealth in the production powerhouse. Wit I already told you this. OK where were we.. Ah, the war.
We did real good, killing a Khmerian archer that strayed into our lands. Killed him dead! Our horse archer outflanked him, encircled the last Khmerians, overran them, and smote thier ashes into the ground!! Twas glorious!!!!! So glorious a great general arose from teh ranks.
We settled him somewhere, I don;t know which city, but he was settled!!! In fact, I just don't know if I ever build a unit in that city. Maybe it was the production powerhouse building wealth, but there I go again, off on a tangent.
Sury, right!
While I am playing like a moron, workers are lost, military sitting arround collecting a handsome salary our spy network is well at work. Our spies stole Monarchy and
Which leads me to the techpath, yeah we actually did some work: Finished metal casting/Literature/Machinery
We set about building the Great Library in the capital, and the heroic epic comewhere.
In the meantime.
Yes, Sury is dogpiled by Sury. Scoundral, er I mean way to go, no wait. Damned, what was the question???
OK, seriously we decided to finally talk to Sury about peace.
Hey, every spec of gold matters this game.
But 10 turns later, Sury makes a request. How can I refuse Sury, my best friend and ally!!! We immediately declare war on Sury.
This was just too much for Sury, who capitulated and vassaled hinself to Sury.
So Sury vassals, everyone trades techs, and we are behind the eightball!!! At this point something incredible happened.
WOW!! We actually built the damned thing. Well, we did capture marble from Sury so I guess I should not be surprized. We went ahead a built the NE in the same city (the capital) as the Great Library. No, I have not lost all my marbles, I still know what to do with marble.
The low and behold.
A Great Scientist who is willing to use his wosdom and superior intellect to help steer to poor mislead and mismanaged Khmerians!!!
So we started teching CS and saved.
A few views of our empire
Techs
Note Orange Sury gave all of his techs to dogplied Sury.
Fear not, my incompetance at leadership shall not go unrewarded. The Great Scientist shall bail us out. Out of what, I don't knwo but he shall bail us out!!!
Diplomacy
Hey, Sury loves a fool!
In case you were wondering at our civics.
And for the hell of it, the financial advisor, in case anyone can see something smart for me to do.
There you have it!
OK, what do we do with the Great Scientist. And where do we go from here, besides the nearest wine store!
