OK, Thunderfall, attatched is the game. I played my 15 turns and I was amazed as to how quickly it went!
I think that we're supposed to give one another a brief history. If not, don't read below.
When I took over, London and York were both building temples. Not all that happy with York's placement, but too early to disband it. Probably will have to stay there. Perhaps it was an "advanced tribe". Outside the cities, we had a settler from York building irrigation a warrior right next to a barbarian. Inside the cities, both had a phalanx unit to defend and I believe one also had barracks. The science rate was 50/50 and still in despotism.
I changed the science rate to 60 science and 40 taxes. Because of the barracks, we were seeing a loss so I changed a worker in York to the silk tile to get trade and it evened out. I stopped the irrigation building and
moved the settler to a grassland with a shiled and built a road in one turn (with the stored work). The warrior survived the horseman's attack and explored a bit - showing that there was a whale just off the coast. I sent the settler there and built Nottingham. The trade from the whale is helping to keep even with the upkeep we now have with two temples.
When London finished building the temple, I set it to work on another settler. When York finished its temple, I set it to building the Colossus in an effort to get it early. I thought York the better choice as it is coastal and has the silk tile, but this can change if anyone finds a better place to start a science city. I set Nottingham to building a phalanx.
As the warrior continued to explore, it became apparent that there is no more
land North, West or South. Looks like we'll have to keep going East and hope we're not on some hideous island.
As I ended, I discovered writing and set about trying to discover code of laws in an effort to get to Monarchy. London built a settler and I set it to build a warrior for a second defense. Nottingham built a phalanx and I set it to building a settler.
As you can see, the warrior is right next to a goody hut.... Best of luck!!!

Reign of Thunderfall I (1650 BC - 975 BC)
-----------------------------------------
1650 BC:
Initial evaltuation of the glorious English civilization shows that several changes are necessary to speed up the growth of the empire. We are currently running a budget deficit. To end this, the barracks in London is sold for 40 Golds; we will use this money to speed up the building a settler unit. Also, the Colossus cnstruction was aborted and changed production to Settllers because there is a great potential city site to the right of York; a city at that spot will encompass 2 special resouces: wheat and buffalo, as well as plenty of trade from the rivers. Some citizens are removed from a shielded grassland square and put to work on the silk forest instead; we now are able to discover science in 8 turns instead of 9 turns. The temple in York was also sold for 40 Golds because people seem to be happy with their lives. Now we have 109 Golds in our coffer and the empire now has an income of 2 Gold per turn and 1 Gold in expense. No more budget deficit!
Hoping to find a place to rest, our severely injured warriors entered a village, and told the villagers about the savage barbarians in the world, and the exceptional courage of our warriors. The villagers are very impressed by our deeds and offered to join the English civilization to rid the world of all barbarians. Our warriors are, of course, happily accepted their offer. The villagers sent their young and old to live in the city of York and the young men cut down some trees and made themselves some sharp arrows,so they can shoot down barbarians from afar. Although injured, our warriors decided to continue to move along the river. The archers bid farewell to the warriors and traveled to the east.
1650 BC:
The warriors followed the rivers and found thatbthe water of river flows into the ocean. Bad news: it seems we are on an island! There is some land visible in the northern part of the map, near London. We will build a trireme and sail to the other side if we are indeed on an island. The archers traveled south and found a swamp nearby. We don't have enough money to rush build the settlers (120 Golds needed, we have 110 Golds). The settlers from London continued their journey to the destination, grid (121, 41).
1550 BC:
Corrutions have been wasting our precious resources. Thanks to our wise men, the Code of Laws is discovered and we implemented to the government system. To make the government even more efficient, we decided to research a possibel new gov't system, known as the Monarchy.
Our warriors are glad that they have followed the rivers, for a new village is nearby. Let's hope villagers in it are not hostile, or we'll be doomed. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>
We have enough money to rush build settlers in York, (110 Golds needed, we have 111 Golds). But we decided to rush build next turn instead; it's too expensive. The archers continued south and reach the coast. It seems more likely we are on an island now. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/frown.gif" border=0>
1500 BC:
Our warriors entered the village and told the villagers the glories of the English empire. The villagers are fascinated by our art of writing and burial practice and decided to share their knowledge of currency. We now have 112 Golds and 95 Golds were spent on rush building the settlers in York.
1450 BC:
Settlers in York are completed and we decided to let them travel south to find a suitable location to settle. Setlers from London will reach their destination in 2 more turns. Our warriors and archers both moved to the west because there is nothing to exlore in the east. Right now it takes 19 turns to discover a tech.
1400 BC:
York just changed to size 2 again, and discovery is lowered to 15 turns. The warriors and arhcers continued west, while the London settlers is more and more closer to destination.
1350 BC:
Londo settlers have reached their destination (finally!). They will found a new city there next turn. There is also some exciting discovery in the western front. The warriors found a new village nearby! <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif" border=0> Disocvery is down to 13 turns.
1300 BC:
The villagers are so excited by our warriors stories hat they decided to join our civilizaton; the village is now the City of Hastings!!! London settlers founded Canterbury in the north. We now have 3 Golds per turn and expense is only 1 Gold. Life is good!
1250 BC:
The archers and warriors entered the new city of Hasting and rested there. York settlers continued to move west.
1200 BC:
Not much action. Our warriors and archers contineud to explored westward, while the York settlers are still finding a suitable location for a new city.
1150 BC:
London built settlers. We will use this settlers to improve lands in the city radius. Science is now 11 turns.
1100 BC:
Settlers started to build roads around London. We decided to spend 8 Golds to rush build settlers in Nottingham. We should discover Monarchy in 2 turns.
1050 BC:
Nottingham completed building settlers. Their first job is to link London to Nottingham with roads. Warriors unit built in Canterbury, we decided to fortify it in the city... You never know when barbarians will come by.
1000 BC:
This is probably the most important event in the history of our civilization. Monarchy is discovered and citizens are no longer contend with the corrupt despot gov't. A revolution has started! According to our science advisor, we are the first to discover Monarchy!
London completed training a new warriors unit, but we will fortify it in the city to mainatain order. London is now working on a huge project, the Colossus! (We can switch production to Pyramid once we discover the Masonry knowedlege, which is our next science objective. The settlers from York founded Coventry.
975 BC:
Archers moved into Conventry and will get support from that city from now on. Revolution should end in one or two turns and we will be able to swicth to a monarchy government system.
