Succession Game: The Chinese

[Ohwell]

Mission Accmplished! Slightly.

Sort of. I played only 3 turns. But alot of changing was done!

Many of our cities, including heartland cities, have NO bank!! Cavalry production is switched to banks and universities in many cities.

Turn 1- Zunguin captured, gifted to Egypt.

Turn 2- New Karachi Captured, gifted to Egypt.

Turn 3- Several Indian Galleons are spotted, our artillery bombards them away! Our brilliant Scientists devised a way to make even the most worthless oil productive, through refining. They now strive to develop a better metal plating for our Naval Vessels.

Note of caution - are we making the Egyptians too powerful?

Neh. We gave them the cities; we can always take them back.

Im up!! Yay! It seems like forever since I played. I'll try to get those indians off of our continent and divide the cities up between us, egypt, and the fire.....

I'll download now and play within 48 hours. I just talked to my boss, I get almost the whole week off of work except for maybe 2-3 hours a day which I can do at home

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Who can tell me what happens when you log off during a download. It doesn't work.

Went to play my turns and found out I didn't have the save

Ive got it now.

Hi guys, Im back! Feeling much better now.

So, are what kind of strategy should we attempt with this game?

Conquest would be very time consuming with 12 civs (ok, 10) on a large map (80% ocean is my guess).

We could continue to improve our empire, and wreck everyone who challenges our supremecy in culture and power, by pilaging and if necessary razing their prime cities.

I would prefer to go for a histograph win, so we need more wonders, improvements and people.
Economicaly speaking, we are a super-power already.

Lets keep an eye on the histograph.

It was my turn, a war was on, everything was perfect, i procrastinated until the last day, and now.... I have to work

Something came up at work and I have got too much to do. I really wanted to play this war too. Oh well, I'll get my chance. I don't want to hold us up anymore so the next person can play.

I also have a suggestion unrelated to this game: Should we go back and remove all of our former zips so that we don't waste server space and possibly prevent future forum problems.

 

[joespaniel]

Im up next, and since I work tonight, you are welcome to take another day if you want Gonzo.

As for removing attachments, I'll ask TF if that would be helpfull.

re: saving server space

How about getting rid of the old games? Our first and second German games, our Roman game are all done. Wouldn't it save more room and be easier just to eliminate those threads? Just a thought.

WHAT??? And destroy the monument to our glory???

I THINK NOT!!!









j/k Let me ask TF first, maybe it doesnt matter.

I would, but I have even more work to do tonight and I have to wake up at 4:30 tomorrow.

 

[joespaniel]

Its (ofcourse) my turn in two games, so after I slaughter some Greeks in the Prussian SG, I will go in this one.

Happy St. Pats Day to everyone.

The option to delete posts has been locked, so not possible to remove the whole thread ourselves. We'll have to ask the mods to delete them for us.

It'll be a pity. After all the effort put into writing them up. Maybe we can ask for a backup fr the powers-that-be. Will be fun to read when we sit down some evening over some beer and reminiscene about old war stories.

Anyway, this thread is gonna be full soon. Who wants to manage the next stage? I think joe's got 3 on his hands now. I'll take the job if joe's too busy and no one else's available.

 

[joespaniel]

Thank you KD. I would appreciate that.

Im going to skip my turn this time around, so please go ahead and start a new thread.

I believe donsig is up next.

As for deleting our old SGs, Ive decided against it unless TF asks me to. Too many people contributed time and effort to them to just wipe 'em out. Some people like to download the saves and play them too.

So they stay.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

I'll start a new thread once we got 300 posts. For the time being, pls continue posting here.

Besides, it's late at night over here.

I believe donsig is up next.

I'm at work now - will play when I get home tonight! (My wife's working the night shift so I'll have no distractions. )

When I first started playing these succession games we could delete our own posts. That was a good thing because it allowed us to get rid of alot of the posts (like this one) that aren't part of the story of the game. That saved space and made the story of the game flow a bit better. It would be nice to have that ability back again.

How about screen shots? I post jpg files. Anyone know if a gif file would be smaller? Maybe I'll try one next time and see...

 

[Knight-Dragon]

I think jpg files are smaller than gif files.

I don't really mind the inconsequential small talk though. Since I make a lot of them.

TF disable the delete option becos there're cases of people starting threads and then deleting their posts, in effect deleting the whole thread (incl posts made by others into that thread).

 

[donsig]

I'm big on small talk myself. We're running out of posts here. Will I have to post my summary to your new thread Knight-Dragon? I'll be playing in about 2 hours...

I think jpg files are smaller than gif files.

OK, I'll stick with jpg files.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Oh alright, I'll start a new thread now.
